The CE may contain both the Helm and Goggles, afterall!

[Kitoro]

BestBuy.com seems to have some updated info on the Collector's Edition; great news, if true!

Best Buy just recently put the CE up for pre-order, and don't write their own product details, so,being the latest major retailer to add the item for pre-order a few days back, they likely just have the most updated and specific official product information of the retailers posted.

Sure, S-E may have shot down the idea from an e-mail Eorzeapedia.com sent them at the beginning of the month, but these are the latest CE product details to be posted, yet!

Once again, Best Buy doesn't write their own product descriptions, so this is straight from the source, and the latest and most detailed, yet. Let's hope Amazon, Gamestop, etc. update their description to further confirm, soon!

Good news about both bonus items included in this edition! Sucks to be under 13, or have 10,001 friends, though.

I'd post the link, but I'm new here, and need 10 posts to do so. -_-

Idc, I want the tumbler.

Until SE themselves update the official info I'm not taking the word of a game retailer. The two largest game retailers in Aus can't even give me a straight answer about which regional version they will be selling in Sept, one said they didn't know and the other said "Many of our suppliers are from the UK" and didn't answer the question at all.

Guess it's time to order the CE from Best But, then... LAWSUIT!

[Meresgi]

Sounds good, I hope that's legit and not a typo.

[bluefan]

Meh, as long as I get my security token...

[Darte]

Highly doubt this. Unless by some twist SE addend what they wrote on the website by Monday Morning, this is just another case of a bestbuy "Gaming Employee" speculating for some reason.

Still can't believe our CE doesn't come with the world map. Its just a piece of paper dammit.

I was under the impression. That they wanted to give the normal edition the goggles so they could play catch up with the people that got the early access.

Which could actually help them surpass the CE players since eight days on a crowded server doesn't help get much done.

Wish everyone would stop making new threads for shit like this, it's hard enough to keep up with the main ones. Especially since this is copypasta'd from another forum where you already posted this.

I thought we were past this bonus item crap and speculation. Two days after release, no one will care about the bonus items anymore (besides aesthetics).

Ok

1) Until the info is on the FF14 website nothing is sure

2) Don't make stupid thread like this again

3) If #1 becomes true make a post in the actual existing thread about FF14 CE

4) Something has been confirmed, in every Std and CE preorder, there is a free couping that each time someone post a stupid thread, it gets closed
