Okay;
Now I had loved this…. …. Until!

“Note: This collector’s edition will only be available in Europe.”
This saddens myself, a lot;
Especially because I do not possess a Region 02 or a Region All Playstation 03.

I might just start working on a petition on this to bring this Sonic Gens CE stuff to North America, Canada, Japan, and Australia soon.

Really SEGA? What the hell? Why is it always 1 step forward 2 steps back. No US release? I mean Seriously! What’s the matter with you!? You know damn well how many people in America want this and your just gonna flip them off like this? You’re making the same mistake Infinity Ward makes when they release each Modern Warfare without a Hardened or Prestige edition for the PC gamers. Will you use your damn heads for once?

Honestly, I find it fair that only UK gets it, and USA doesn’t. For starters, USA gets a lot of games before UK does. For example:

Super Mario Galaxy 2
USA: May 26th
UK: June
Sonic Generations
USA: November 1st
UK: November 4th.
Secondly, USA is more popular.
If you disagree, this is just my opinion.

As long as you live in Europe and not any other part of the world.

Thanks, SEGA. I kind of REALLY WANTED TO BUY THIS, but I live in the US. So I’m gonna have to get it from some scalper on eBay who wants this for, like, two hundred dollars.

Thank you so much.

@Zero-Boom:
“Stop whining. You guys in America are the centrepiece of SEGA. Isn’t Europe allowed a couple of nice things?”

Wrong. Mike Hayes, the president and CEO of SEGA Europe and SEGA of America (collectively SEGA West), operates out of SEGA’s London offices. America is not the centerpiece of SEGA, most of the high level executives are in England and Japan. SoA deals with digital releases now.

Also, I think it’s unfair to tell US fans to stop whining. We should ALL want a WORLDWIDE release of this awesome box. Personally, I think it was a poor move to combine the blogs as I knew this sort of thing would happen. A cool region exclusive is shared on a combined twitter/facebook/blog post thus angering fans left in the dust. Best thing to do? Release this thing to the US!

So guys I’m just going to point out that yes, I am disappointed that it’s not coming to America, but kudos to Europe for having a special version from themselves. I’ll definitely be importing this for ps3 since it seems that the ps3 is region free. Also not all American’s complain every time something isn’t for them…but most of them do lol. Play nice.

As much as I would also like this to be released in the US, you really can’t complain too much. Europe barely ever has exclusive collectibles for them. I say good for anyone that purchases this. I might find the collectibles on eBay sometime.

Comment # 98

please no “America gets more than Europe.” It isn’t helpful. We’re all upset that there is no information regarding a U.S. Release, and I’m sure Sega is planning something, otherwise they really don’t seem like they care.

But if you must know, IGN did a report about the exclusives over the last few years and the number of exclusive high rated titles is higher in Europe than the U.S.

@94 people are pissed because unless you have a PS3, and even then the dlc won’t work if I remember correctly, you still have to pay a good amount to order from another country. Besides that some of us have an Xbox 360 and can’t play a European game, so yeah, justifiable anger.

I’m gonna admit, as a massive Sonic fan that has purchased every single Sonic game for every platform, I’m severely upset by this.

When Sonic Colo(u)rs got a special edition in Europe, I told myself, “Well, at least it’s just a dinky figure that I can buy at a toy store anyway.”

But a statue? Art book? DVD? Soundtrack? Gold ring?

If I had to choose one word to describe my feelings right now, it would be “shafted.”

Anyone know where I can import?

While I live in the US, I must agree with all the people in europe. They never complain about this kinda stuff and just deal with it or get it later on eBay or something, while were showing off a bad example of ourselves, proving we are quite selfish and think it should always be about us when a collectors item is released for any video game. I for one am fine with the change up, being its about time they got something cool instead of us. Besides… There’s always Amazon

Posted by MegaRevolution on September 7th, 2011 at 1:19 pm

Comment # 144

@104 yeah, I don’t know what system you’re playing but the 360 isn’t region free. The PS3 is, but that doesn’t help downloading dlc, and the hassle of making a UK account and the high shipping fee. Certain games can have region free coding such as certain Asian games, but I doubt that would be the case with such a game as Sonic Generations.

@kellie. I know a lot of us are expressing our rage and frustration and you have to be the brunt of it even though you’re just the messenger, so thanks for dealing with us without ban-hammering everyone. You’re a saint. Please let someone be aware so we can get an answer concerning why this isn’t coming to the U.S.

Spike – Thanks for your empathy. I am the messenger on this one, and this is the (not so fun) part of my job. People here at SEGA (and specifically in the US office) are aware of demand for this CE outside of Europe & Australia.

I won’t ban people for expressing their sadness, disappointment, or even anger. The only comments I’ve deleted (or not approved) are the ones that include f-bombs and other similarly harsh profanities, death threats, personal attacks, racist language, etc. Thankfully this has been a small minority, but it has happened. I understand that people feel very strongly about this and Sonic in general, but there is just no need for that type of language.

Kellie, I can see why you may think that the language in the messages you’ve been receiving are over-the-top and rude, but you must understand that this is 20 years worth of fans who have been anticipating a really good pre-order bonus since the days of Sonic Adventure 2. It seems like a real stab in the ass that UK is the only country receiving this bundle. You must excuse the fowl language because it’s only natural for fans to react this harshly after seeing that a bonus of this magnitude will be exclusive to one country only, even though we would all want it.

Comment # 176

From the reaction here, at Retro, and countless other blogs all over the place, it’s safe to say some jimmies were rustled and no doubt the folks in SoA saw the tempest coming as soon as they were told “Europe and Australia Only.”

Not sure how the process works here, but I wonder if it’d be easy to appease the higher brass to make this a super limited release in the U.S. (Something like 10,000-20,000 units at the max) and charge $70-$80 for it. Granted, that’s nearly a 100% hike on the price, but there’s clearly a large demand for the bundle.

It just seems like a very easy through, but I’m not considering any behind the scenes agreements we the lowly public aren’t privy to, which I suspect may be what’s at hand here.

Damn shame, I was already slowly reaching for my credit card when I saw this.

It sounds to me that you’re convinced that what these people are saying is actually legitimate. They don’t mean it, I’m sure, and you should be taking these comments more maturely by ignoring them, or removing them. Instead you’re garnering up attention that isn’t needed, and these people that are giving you trouble are simply frustrated to a very high degree because of the fact that SEGA had to be unfair and release this excellent bundle in the UK only. I get comments like the ones you’re receiving on a daily basis via my YouTube channel, simply because I voice my opinion on why I prefer Mario over Sonic- yet I usually ignore them, and well, you should do the same.

I would think that America is probably SEGA’s biggest source for their fanbase! And why was Austrailia added, and not US? That just doesn’t make any logical business sense. Hundreds of fans are willing to pay money for this, and are currently being let down.

@Gibbagobba – I think it’s important to let people express anger and disappointment. If I were to go through and delete all the comments that were negative about us or our products, it wouldn’t be long before people would just stop coming here and would instead go to one of the many other places on the internet where people can discuss games and gaming. All deleting the negative comments would do is further anger people and cause an even bigger backlash.

It’s also important to us to hear from our fans. We can’t always make everyone happy, but we do truly care about our fans and if we never allowed criticism, we wouldn’t be as in tune to what you guys are thinking and feeling.

I’m really glad to see all of the disapproval about the collector’s edition not being released in North America. I truly hope that SEGA seriously takes this into consideration–that there are tons of longtime Sonic fans out there who would love to purchase this beautifully awesome collector’s edition.

SEGA, please, I implore you, don’t disregard your fans in North America like this. Make the collector’s edition available over here, too.

Dear SEGA: You LITERALLY posted this 11 hours ago. Not even a day. And already you’ve got a HUUUUGE uproar from the US. What’s that telling you? Send us some Collectors Editions too, please!

Seriously, you’ve got time. I don’t care if you have to delay the release for it. The statue will last more than the days, weeks or months it’d be delayed, if you had to do it in the first place.

Please, bring the Collector’s Edition to the US. Seriously, we’d buy it like crazy if you did.

Signed, everyone from the US who wants it. Which is a lot of people.

P.S. You’ll sell more if you do. If you don’t, who’s gonna buy it? SCALPERS. For us poor folk in the US who’ll have to buy it for amazing amounts of money because we don’t live in the UK. So why not cut out the middleman and send it to us yourselves?

P.P.S. SCALPERS SUCK.

@Kellie

LOL. I’m surprised nobody’s brought up scalpers yet. The biggest reason I’m mad at this decision is the fact that- Yeah, I can get it. This is the internet. I can get anything. I could probably get a ballistic nuclear pig-shaped taxi cab if I wanted to. But the thing is, I won’t be paying retail price for it. I’d be paying retail, AND whatever the guy on eBay wants me to pay HIM for it. Now, I’m not mad at third-party legit stores who sell for slightly higher prices to make money, I’m mad at the people who (for argument’s sake) buy a 50 dollar game and then try to sell it to people who can’t get it for 100 dollars or more. And the fans buy it, because the companies won’t sell it to them. That’s a waste of money and just plain wrong.

Please, SEGA. There’s no reason to make this exclusive. Show the fans you love them by selling it to us, and we’ll show you our love by buying it. (Hey, there’s hope- It was originally just EU, Australia was added later!)

What can I say that hasn’t been said? It’s really a shame (and sad) that SEGA would leave out a solid fan base like America. It’s almost like they don’t care about us. Europe has the biggest following, so just please them. Granted, I’m not saying they shouldn’t release it to European audiences, as that would be more wrong (is that a phrase?) but it’s still wrong to exclude the American fan base, or any fan base for that matter. We’re asking for you to take more of our money than you’d be getting if we just bought the stand alone disc. Not only is that bad business, but it really shows where the American fan base stands. And, let’s be honest, they will just wait for it to blow over and forget about us. Obviously, I’m not blaming Kellie, but I am blaming the higher ups at SoA for not caring about the American fan base. SoA can say “they still love us” or “care about us” or “haven’t forgotten us”, but, as they say, actions speak louder than words.

Question: Why not just make it available to buy on the SEGA website to everyone in the world?

Solution: Make it available worldwide.

Comment # 212

Oh, and just to clear something up for the European or Australian fan that just says “You can import it”, put yourselves in our shoes. You know darn well that you wouldn’t want to import, much like we don’t want to because of the shipping costs on top of the cost of the original game and whatever the buyer wants (probably a hundred or so bucks more… people are greedy EVERYWHERE, unfortunately). So, instead of paying 200 dollars, I’d be paying 500-600 dollars, let alone conversion costs, or you’d be paying 500-600 pounds or whatever the currency is (I’m not good with conversion at all). Again, it really shows how much SEGA of America values their fan base. I’m not mad at it being released in Europe and Australia though, not at all. They deserve it just as much. But, as an American, it really hurts to know that we’re being left out. With all the negative comments, you would think that SoA would wise up and release it state side also.

I’m disappointed as well, but it’s immature and silly to boycott a game just because we don’t get some extra stuff/ But trust me, I want it too, I REALLY DO.

2.This version wont work on North American consoles (so u got to buy a NA copy thats $250 right there :/)
3.The European DLC codes wont work on North American consoles
4.To import a game not only would it be more expensive but it would also take longer.
So such a good Idea is it?!?

Heh, and I thought I was using common sense with the import idea… Thanks, SONICTH18, for mentioning the DLC region locks.
Please, SEGA. It’s not a smart move making it only available for retail stores in EUR and AUS. As you all can see, in less than 24 hours, your blog post has been filled with complaints with requests of it being shipped here. If you top workers of SEGA truly want the pack to be perfect, you will release it golbaly, instead of only in EUR and AUS.
I have nothing further to say, other than that I know you won’t let me down on this one.

That alone was EPIC. I still have faith in you sega….but let it be known that I am NOT purchasing a “standard” edition of sonic generations…so if you don’t create a collectors edition, you just wont get my business…and that goes for my brother as well…usually I buy 2 of everything. one for my xbox 360, and one for his ps3. <..>

Comment # 230

I can understand that an awful lot of people would be upset by the fact that America hasn’t been told they’ll receive a Collector’s Edition of Sonic Generations at this point; every country’s felt the brunt of similar situations more than once. But that’s absolutely no excuse for the amount of petulant and impertinent behaviour exerted over something as trivial as a fancy statue, a book, a CD/DVD and a little gold ring. Granted, this is quite a big thing for something like the Sonic franchise, what with it being the blue blur’s 20th and all, but that’s no excuse regardless.

Everyone should at least bear in mind that this was only announced 24 hours ago, and there’s still a little less than a month left until Generations is actually released – in that time SEGA could just as easily announce that America – and other parts of the globe for that matter – will receive its’ own Collector’s Edition, it’s nothing to get frustrated over. I’m sure that you chaps in America will get a fair bit more than what you expect at this point. I know that most of the fans of the blue blur are upset over this now; hell, odds are the fans that reside in Europe and Australia – myself included – would be pissed if this were the other way round, but the countries that were initially expected to get nothing have always wound up getting something in the end, once release day came around. Just keep the faith, and if you don’t get the same things or not quite as much as we did, at least be grateful that you got anything to begin with and be happy with the things you have.

@Kellie – As with other people from the fanbase, you have my empathy for having to deal with the amount of unnecessary drama, death threats, f-bombs, etc. that have been brought on by this announcement and people’s petulant reactions to not being able to have a few things that other parts of the world get. Alas, as you said, it’s a part of your job and as troublesome and stressing as it is, jobs have to be done with as level a head as possible. So in that regard, kudos to you.

Tracker_TD, PLEASE don’t tell me you were being serious.

First, the Sonic Anniversary Ts (Insert Coin or something of the like produces them?) is a UK product, and the only way someone from America can get one is to pay an insane amount for shipping. And regardless, Insert Coin (or whatever the company is called) is in charge of importing regardless.

20th anniversary figures, yes, is available only in America (as far as I know), but again, that’s not up to SEGA. Purely up to Jazwares and whatever retailers they’d want their products at.

We have ONE soundtrack on iTunes (Sonic Colors). Every other CD we have to import to own legally, and again, shipping costs.

Statues…. ? I’m honestly unaware of there being Sonic statues. Feel free to prove me wrong, but I’ve never seen one.

Granted, the fan base is poorly represented for a WHOLE different reason entirely, but how are we acting like spoiled brats exactly? America hasn’t seen anything like this (as it regards to Sonic. Don’t know about other franchises, but I don’t really pay attention). We got left out, and a huge chunk of the fan base is here.

Wow! In 24 hours the comments on this page have more than doubbled! I think it’s a sign of how much all of us love Sonic! That’s the only reason we’re all flipping out on this issue. We all want to celibrate the blue blur’s 20th in the ultimate way we can! I realize that it’s cool for Europe to get something we all don’t since they always seem to get the short end of the stick. But for the US to get nothing?! It kinda seems like we’re being told we’re not as big fans as everyone in Europe! I don’t think that’s fair to lable us like that. I’ve played just about EVERY Sonic game released, and loved them all. And I know there are many fans who are just the same in the rest of the world!

We’re all on the same side here, cause we all love Sonic. So I don’t think this is the way to do it. A world wide release would be the way to go. Come on Sega! I think it’s obvious from this MASSIVE stack of comments that ALL of us (not just the people in Europe) want this!

Well, looks like our pleas fell on deaf ears… (no offense to all you working there at SEGA.)
1) Who cares if you have to pay a big shipping price? If it has all of this, it’s worth it.
2) Yes, I’m aware that it includes the game and DLC, but not using it makes it even more valuable.
3) Have to pay for an extra copy of the game along with an extra DLC pack? Whats the big deal? That money is earned in a weeks time no less.
4) Complaining that they might brag about getting it while we are left out? Go ahead and whine, we’ve done it more than enough times.
5) Hate what I’m saying? Haters gonna hate. Especially when they know I’m right.

@MegaRevolution1 Yeah, you act like it’s cake. Honestly, it isn’t. I’ve got a job, and I’ve got my own stuff to pay for- Gas, college, etc. And it’s not easy to come up with 200-250 dollars just on the spot, especially for an import, which would mean I then have to buy the game and DLC separately, (because I have an Xbox 360 and the last time I checked, those are region-locked, as is the DLC) which is 60+ dollars in and of itself. Not to mention I’d rather see this widely available so I can, y’know, go to a store and buy it.

So… yeah. My point still stands.

@Ben the Hedgehog, Sorry, but I must point out one tiny error you made.
In your post, you stated the following:
“@MegaRevolution1
Yeah, not all of us are made of money.”
As well as: “@MegaRevolution1 Yeah, you act like it’s cake. Honestly, it isn’t. I’ve got a job, and I’ve got my own stuff to pay for- Gas, college, etc. And it’s not easy to come up with 200-250 dollars just on the spot, especially for an import,”
While in a later reasoning post, you stated this:
” Not to mention I’d rather see this widely available so I can, y’know, go to a store and buy it.”
If you are truly standing by your previous comments, how could you afford it at a store, and not afford it through import, where at most sites, shipping is only around a dollar or so?

Posted by MegaRevolution1 on September 8th, 2011 at 8:02 pm

Comment # 258

@MegaRevolution1

Oh, if it were just the shipping that’d be a different story.

Let’s, for argument’s sake, say this is priced at 100 dollars retail. (Or the euro equivalent, dunno about conversion rates and that’d just confuse the issue further.) Seller’s probably, firstoff, jack up the price to 150-200, since it’s EU exclusive and US people, natch, have to pay more. Add another five-ten for shipping because this is no small lightweight letter this guy’s sending, it’s a BIG COLLECTOR’S EDITION. And then I have a Collector’s Edition for a game I can’t play because, y’know, US. Region locked Xbox 360. Sooo tack on another 60 for the new Sonic game, and another ten for the DLC.

Now remember, most of these numbers are arbitrary and I doubt any one of them will be exact. But what I’m saying is that it’s no small feat, or cost, to get this imported. Seriously, if it were so easy and so cheap, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

And what the heck did you ever send or buy that wasn’t a letter that had one-dollar shipping?! Send me a link, I wanna buy that! Whatever it is.

First off, can I just clarify to all of the people in the North American continent that UK =/= Europe and Australia. Europe is a continent with quite a number of countries in it. It’s NOT just the UK.

Secondly, while I agree that it is unfair for certain regions to only get items, who’s to say Sega won’t announce a package for the US? On top of which, the US has, for many a year now, gotten games earlier. The figure we got with Colours, most people never received (at least here in the UK). I would have loved one of the Sonic hats instead. The US has frequently had pre-order incentives and the like with their games that the Europeans don’t even get to see.

If anything, why not complain about Japan? They get everything first, and get loads of merchandise, and get limited editions, and all of this. There’s no sense in kicking up a stink on this blog just because you’re not getting your own way.

If my thought is to be correct, the US version of it will be unveiled in the US Collectors Edition for Sonic Generations. Just gotta wait and see…

I ordered it and i live in america, go to Mightyape.co.nz, they still have the collecters edition for the 360 but if your looking the ps3 version there its already sold out (i got it for the ps3 just before it sold out) but yeah its gonna cost 215.99 NZD which in the US would converse over to 183.12 USD so gonna be pricey but it depends on how much you think its worth. But I await infront of my door for the package to arrive

PS: Ordering from that website i suggest using paypal to order it from the US cause they have online banking but only through NZ banks but i think they take an American Express (at least i think but never hurts to double check)

PSS: Again ordering from this website it’ll take a couple days to ship (they get stock november 3rd and ship the 4th) and i believe it takes 10-15 days so gotta be extremely patient.

@ Aozora Fox Yeah unfortunately Amazon.uk doesn’t do over seas shipping :/ but your best bet is is to try for mightyape.co.nz if you want a 360 version but i don’t know if it would play on a US 360 cause I know PS3 is region free but good luck to ya I hope you get it

I saw this on xbl just a few min ago, went to read up on it to see that there was going to be a Collector’s Edition. Then I noticed that it isn’t being released in the North American region. I think I’ll pass on this game as a whole now.

I guess SEGA of America doesn’t really care about its North American fans. How infuriating. >:(

@Liana Copland thanks for backing me up on this one, it’s good to know I’m not the only person not savy with online shopping.

@Kellie I am a huge Sonic fan from Europe and, like the whole American Fanbase, I’m pulling my hair out wondering if I will ever have the opportunity to get my hands on a Collector’s Edition. I’m at the point where the standard edition just won’t do it for me, and as a loyal fan I’d feel cheated having to settle while I could have something that my family and I can cherish as a real celebration of Sonic’s roots.

Will Sonic Generations Collectors Edition eventually be available via retail?
Is it possible that this question could be answered sometime soon? It’s obvious that there are other fans out there asking this same question and I’m sure we would all really appreaciate it

Once again thanks for taking the time to read

I really hope this becomes available soon again as it is sold out everywhere online

@Daz – Problem is, we don’t really know if the Collectors Edition is limited (as in there will only be a select number of copies released) or mass-produced. We can only hope at this point that there will be enough copies due to be released to give everyone a fair chance to get their hands on a Collector’s Edition, instead of just catering to those who are first to pre-order. Either way, I’m determined to get this edition, even if i have to buy it pre-owned after someones nibbled the sonic figure and left sweaty handprints on the disks before deciding they dont want it

Wow, seeing all the blog responses about this game it just goes to show that after 20 long years Sonic the Hedgehog is STILL an important character in the gaming world, if not, the MOST important character!

The way we are all getting drip-fed information about this game – like classic/dreamcast/modern era trailers and whether or not it will be available on the PC, I think there are goin to be even bigger announcements throughout these 28 days before release.

Im just hoping that SEGA have decided to build up this hype and anxiety in fans until the very last moment before release, where they will reveal the decision to release a Collectors Edition available everywhere in the world, on every single modern console, for every single fan, because SEGA should know by now that this is a product in VERY high demand!!

If not, then oh well… its good to dream

Will you UK guys stop your “We never get anything first! We deserve this more than you!” Crap? That’s a bunch of bull. You guys got a Sonic Colors (sorry, “Colours”) special edition last year. All we got was a hat. Granted, that was pretty cool, you still shouldn’t be so selfish. We all deserve this equally. We’re all Sonic fans here and this is his 20th anniversary. SEGA is obviously doing something here, maybe testing the waters (even though they’re taking too freaking long!). But they should be fair here. This exclusive release and excessive arguing isn’t.

what the… Why don’t you sell this in America? Here in Chile, we buy the US versions so it means you’ve banned us form the posibility of getting it. What does this have of “generations” for us? :/

I must say SEGA, I am deeply hurt by this. I keep trying to convince myself you’ll eventually release something for us here in America, but the game comes out tomorrow! Why would you pull a bull move like this? We never did anything to you!

Hi SEGA,

I want to thank you, because when I am seeing so many americans writing “you forget about us” and “We never did anything to you!” I am just happy.

But serious, US guys, are you sick? You’re always getting so many cool limited edition games and everything, and this is the EUROPE who was always izolated from this fantastic stuff. Now it’s finally changing and European Countries also can get limited edition games and really limited, not just getting some extras in game, but things like figures, artbooks, soundtracks etc.

Thank you SEGA for doing this, for giving Europe a chance to get something limited, and really cool limited, since this set is one of the best I’ve seen. Unfortunately I couldn’t get this since it was sold out, but still hope I get this somewhere, even for very high price.

And thank you for making such great Sonic game.

Greetings from Poland
