If you're wanting to get your hands on a Pokémon Legends: Arceus pre-order ahead of the game's upcoming release, you might want to consider this new bundle from Amazon UK.
The retailer has updated its listing of the game to include a SteelBook case and a special Poké Ball replica based upon the ancient ball design seen in the game. The ball is listed as a 'Poké Ball Cartridge', and while it probably (definitely) won't fit inside your Switch's cart slot, we're assuming that means it might double up as a cartridge holder.
It's available for the standard RRP of £49.99 and can be picked up below.

There are several other pre-order options available, too, including copies of the game without any extra goodies for a little cheaper, or a similar bundle that includes the SteelBook and an Arceus figurine. You can view all of those right here.
The game launches on 28th January 2022. Will you be getting a pre-order in?

The design of that pokeball is poor, looks cheap!
@dew12333 I thought the opposite I thought it looks decent.
I love the design of the wooden pokeball
My interest in this game is piqued!
@Outerdragon certainly made me preorder
I had the 3ds pokeball with X-Y, with a similar base. It was indeed a 3ds game card holder. I wonder if this one will have the same dimensions!
@dew12333 It's a free gift, of course in the end, it's cheap.
If UK hadn't decided to leave Europe than yes, I would Pre-Order from there...
Is there any word on other retailers in mainland Europe for these pre-order bonusses?
@Lightning13 same. Import and shipping costs are way too much now.
I do like that pokeball but I'm still resisting pre-ordering.
Here's hoping the US can get it
Honestly, I'm happier with the Smyths pre-order bonus in the UK (Steelbook and an Arceus figurine that matches the Dialga/Palkia ones from the Gen 4 remakes).
I am still not sold on this game. No multi player and a new battle system? No gyms?
I need to know what we're doing in the game cause it seems like a step very much in the wrong direction right now.
I like it! have pre-ordered, though if the nintendo store get them in with the same bonus I'll switch it over to there.
@neufel Yes but they could have made it look real.
@Outerdragon I'm gad you like it! I think it has changed too much from the original, probably to avoid copyright.
grabbed both this and the brilliant diamond pre-order since it comes with the dialga figurine, an actual decent pre-order bonus for once
@Heavyarms55 probably just catch ‘em all.
@dew12333 what do you mean? It looks just like the PokéBall in the game
@dew12333 I would be shocked if this isn't an official promotional item: other than looking like the new ball in the trailer, it has the official logo on it's black base stand (tough to see but it's there if you zoom in).
I agree too, doesn't look like the highest quality, but looks better than I expected for a free pre-order item!
@DarthXenos After that message I watched the video again and it does, althougth sometimes it had that bit on top and then in other parts it didn't. Not sure why they have changed the design, maybe because this is early in the timeline.
@dew12333 What do you mean to avoid copyright? You think Amazon have just made a random thing to give away with copies of the game? This is officially licensed, and even if it weren't it's still "a Pokeball replica", it wouldn't avoid any copyrights at all.
What a lovely bonus! Gah. Too...many...games...
If you're not bothered by the pokeball, you can get the game, steelbook and a sticker sheet for around £42 from other online retailers such as Simply Games, The Game Collection and Shopto.
@Ogbert As I mentioned above I didn't realise they had made such a change to the design of a pokeball, so I stand corrected on that.
@Friendly I am a die hard Pokemon fan of 25 years. I'll give the game a chance. But if that's it, it's just Let's Go all over again. Once and done and never touched again.
There's so much more to Pokémon than that.
@Heavyarms55 agreed. i hope there’s more to it too.
@Heavyarms55 did you not watch the Nintendo direct "There is multiplayer" just like every other side game it does not have Rank because that's exclusive to the actual mainline game just like Diamond and Pearl which also won't have rank but will have casual battles and obviously Arceus won't have Gyms again why are you shocked this is legit predating everything humans think of pokemon as dangerous creatures not companions of course there's no gyms.
@GonsHairLine I am not just talking about gyms. I am talking about any goals. What's the point of the game? Good RPGs and JRPGs have a story with a goal. Something you are trying to do, or stop, or defend or protect... etc etc.
Right now this game seems like all we are gonna do is explore and collect. Looks like BOTW with no shrines and no Hyrule Castle. Or like GTA with no story mode.
@Heavyarms55 Bro watch the direct you actually haven't watched it have you? They literally spent 10min explaining what you'll be doing your part of the Survey Corp and your job is to complete the first ever Dex and guess what there's alot more to it than just that but of course you wouldn't know since you haven't watched it and can't piece it together or the fact they haven't even showed Arceus yet. Use your brain man instead of making wild assumptions.
@GonsHairLine Stop. You're insulting me. I have watched the Direct. Those are minor side quests.
