Special Reserve Reveals GRIS Signature Edition For Switch, Priced At $249.99

Is this the same Special Reserve that used to sell PCs in the 90s? They sold us one with 128 mb RAM and a Voodoo 2 graphics card. I used to read their catalogue cover to cover.

I mean, if there ever was on game worth having an artbook for, it's this one. Boy oh boy what a beauty.

Holy moe, thatta lot of dough

Anyone know how much shipping is to the UK ?

I do like that art book....

So there won't be a regular version in stores? I've missed out on all physical editions sold through these websites as shipping costs and the conversion rate into Australian dollars is a killer.

Honestly, this game to me is simultaneously boring and breathtaking. There’s moments of “meh” but there’s also some that are truly amazing.

I thought this said it was a $249 Switch. I was getting ready to smash the purchase button. 😂

Wow, I imported the Okami Vinyl from UK. This would be great next for the collection.

I'll come back tomorrow... hopefully get one

Why is the physical game $34.99 in the first place when the game is only $16.99 digitally with frequent sales? Seems like a huge ripoff no matter how pretty the boxart is.

I definitely would love to get the 250 version but I'll just get the $80 edition. Love this game! The soundtrack is amazing, and the art is so cool! I love just looking at the environment, maybe because I've been there in the loss of friends and myself at times.
Will definitely show my support for this game.

Wasn't there a pre E3 GameStop leak that had 30 or so game Barcodes and one was listed at $249. People speculated it was the Switch mini but it was a software code. Maybe this is that listing.

Wait is that sheet music?

if the game wasn't such a colossal snore I'd probably love getting my hands on this

@BacklogBlues thanks mate. Did you get hit by customs or did they mark the package as a gift ? I got the digital version for £8 the other day, will play through it before the pre order window closes to see if it's worth a physical purchase. It's gonna be such a mark up from £8 though.

Can't wait for this, loved the game, visually gorgeous, but only took me 5 hours (and I was very hungover at the time) to complete, this is it's only downside of it.

Also, just got an email saying the Messenger and Minit are actually going to be delayed because of Nintendo not supplying the cartridges yet.

@cryptologous It isn't. The game is awesome.

@Timsworld2 The options are usually limited runs or not getting a physical at all, unfortunately. It's not an easy task for smaller developers to not only produce physical copies of their games, and get the marketing channels to sell them through. And, once you've placed your orders for the amount of games, you'll never know if you're gonna sell them all and get the money back.

So when limited run sites like these give them a chance where they themselves don't have to take all the risks, plus that it's an open pre-order so you're promised to sell all the copies made, a lot of them will gladly take that offer

I enjoyed Gris a lot but it was one of those games that I don't think I would go back to as there isn't much else there though the visuals are quite nice. I'll have to think about that one.

I am looking at:
the game and art book for $79.99
the Deluxe Edition (housed in a stunning 48-inch quad-fold jacket) for $49.99
the Open Edition (house in a gatefold jacket) for $34.99

But I will wait for the release to decide as that is quite the price charge.

@Timsworld2 That's not how it works. Special reserve do the work getting it manufactured and distributed, not the developer. So no, Amazon wouldn't do it.

@HeroponRiki Because it costs money to produce the cartridges. Then there’s also the Nintendo Tax.

If you’re a fan of physical releases, it’s totally worth it. I bought the Game & Artbook Edition myself.

@Thesharkfromjaws big. time.

Got the Game+Art Book, only because once 3,000 is gone it most likely won't come around for that price again.

@sanderev ah. You got me. 10/10 GOTY.
