If I buy that:

1) Will it be in English? The OP says the boxed version is German only.
2) Can I use the key to register it on Steam?

Answer is yes. I have pre purchased this also, and read the discussion I put on the page entitled "which version" I posted an email reply, which I will again repeat here for you. (note: Koch Media is deep silver)

Dear Steve,

thank you for your enquiry.

If you purchase the game from Amazon at http://amazon.co.uk, you will be receiving the English UK release version of the game.
Please contact Amazon regarding the delivery question, since we can't answer that on Amazon's behalf.

After reading the announcement about an english collectors edition I'm confused about how to preorder. This part here:

The Collector's Edition of X Rebirth will be released along with the regular retail edition on November 15, 2013, and will be available in the following territories:
• In the UK at a price of GBP 59.99
• In Germany, Austria and Switzerland at a price of € 64.99
• In France at a price of € 59.99

When I read this I don't know if it means that the game will be available in physical stores in these locations or if the game will be sold exclusively to these locations even through the online store. Can someone please clarify availability of the physical collectors edition? I don't live in any of these places and would still like to get the physical collectors edition if possible.

Well i sent a email to deepsilver a few weeks ago and they said that many retailers will have the colectors edition,when i dont know they didnt say.But with the egosoft look at the bottom of the page
http://www.egosoft.com/shop/default.asp?id=85
Where it says November 15th, 2013 / 447 the 447 is the amount of english collectors editions left in the egosoft store
447 number is what it was when i just checked now.may be lower when you read this

... snipped ...

The English UK CE version available in the Egosoft Store is for anyone wanting a English language package. The Steam Activation keys come with it, and you activate it on Steam, from wherever you are and then can play the game. There is no mention of it being playable (or region locked) only in the UK, only that it is available from there.

I believe it is a global version. I live in Australia and that's what I have ordered. If you are not concerned about shopping around for 'best price' my advice is to order it from the Egosoft shop, as I have found their packaging and deliveries timely and reliable in the past.

An official Egosoft person should be able to confirm this (when they read your post).

dougeye · Post by **dougeye** » Wed, 16. Oct 13, 19:28

but is there an easier / closer retailer in the uk that I can confidently order the collectors edition from? no at the moment is the impression I get.

You had better luck than me, I emailed them asking if the collectors edition will be for sale in Amazon.co.uk and I didn't even get a reply -maybe my money's not good enough for Koch

Having bought the UK Collectors Edition from the Ego soft shop and as i live in the UK i expect the game to be posted to me at least a week before the 15th of November when the game is released, i do not want the game to be posted to me ON the 15th to arrive at my house 1 or 2 weeks later due to delays with
air mail etc, can someone official confirm here that the game will indeed be sent out to me in plenty of time please ?

We can't send things out until we receive them, and since we are not directly involved in either production or distribution, we cannot guarantee when this will be. There is absolutely no way that we can make a statement about when they will be sent out at this stage, or indeed, with any degree of certainty, until they arrive on our doorstep.

Thanks for the reply CBJ, so once they arrive on your doorstep they will hopefully be sent out straight away or as fast as is possible/before the 15th if they come into stock before that date ?

The release date for North America is listed as Nov 19 in some places (http://www.egosoft.com/x/xnews/201308_1_44News.html) and Nov 15 in other places (http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=341133).

What is the actual date that the game can be activated and played via Steam for North America?

Thanks.

If you had put your glasses on you would have realized that it was your own garage, my garage is 4 units along from yours.

It would be rather irritating to wait 7 years for a game and when i can finally unlock my CE code on steam on the 15th November i cant do so because said game is sent ON the 15th to arrive at my house 1/2 weeks later and the steam code is in the CE box, and i would not be able to face all the hopefully positive feedback on this forum from folks already playing it.....

The Collectors Edition is now up to pre-order on Amazon.co.uk.

Even though the price is supposed to be £59.99 (according to the news on the main page), they are selling it for £61.27.

I have a quick question regarding this edition, and I don't know if anyone from Egosoft can please answer: will the retail Collectors Edition activate on Steam as the Collectors Edition (meaning: digital access to the extras, such as the making-of, soundtracks, ...), or will it activate as the "regular" edition?

I'll be honest: the only reason I went for the retail edition is because I want that bonus Blu-Ray, with the making-of. I'm a sucker for those, especially since this one will be in HD.
Otherwise, for convenience and saving shelf-space, I would go for the digital edition.

I believe it will register as a normal game. The Collectors Edition extras for the retail version are the physical items in the box, and are separate from the digital items in the Steam Collectors Edition.

Thanks for the reply.

At least, will I be able to upgrade my copy on Steam to the Digital Collectors Edition, by purchasing the "upgrade" option, or will it be gone at launch?

I wish publishers would start treating these retail Collector Editions as "different" on Steam.
Just because the bonus features are included on a physical format, it doesn't mean a digital version of these would be useless. The included game will obligatorily turn into a digital version, because of the required activation, why not the rest? There's a reason why numerous labels include digital downloads with the purchase of a music CD, sometimes it's quite practical to have easy access to the content.

I'll give an example to further make my point: I purchased the "Augmented Edition" of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The making-of DVD had a few scratches, even though my copy was factory sealed, and after a few uses it eventually stopped working. Since that copy activated as the regular edition on Steam, and since there isn't an upgrade option on the service for that game, I suddenly lost access to the thing that made me purchase that edition in the first place.

On the topic of the Blu-Ray, I was curious if it is a region free disc or do we know the region coding it will have? I want to get the UK/English CE but since I'm in the USA I didn't want the Blu-Ray to be unplayable too.
