Final Fantasy VII:Rebirth - Delxue Edition (PS5)
It's been an agonizing 2 weeks but my
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Delxue Edition has finally arrived!
The problem was simply that normal retailers are charging too much! It's £100 & While I am a big fan of the series the content in the DE isn't worth it! A steelbook, Sample OST CD & case sized artbook... it should really be around £60 - But then the game itself is now RRP at £70 which is also abusrd.
So... I had to resort to a cheaper retailer
Coolshop. Now I have ordered with them before, I had the same situation with
Final Fantasy XVI's DE.
Coolshop were offering the
FF7RE DE for £75, that while still more than I wanted to pay is more agreeable. The problem is with
FF16 I had to wait a week beyond launch to get it. FF is my main game series so this was a tough decision but I decided £25 is £25 & that I could wait a week. Well, 1 week went by and had seen that tracking said
Coolshop had it prepped for delivery still... So I went on Live Chat & put up with the most condescending assiting I've had to deal with - they literally used ':-)' with every comment even when not being friendly...
So it turns out
Coolshop are baseed outside the UK & have to send the item through customs, yet tracking didn't not that - it was blank from March 1st - 13th! On March 13th I got an update and it was here the next day. It's all in good condition - Well the CD OST has a minor crack in it but I'm over it.
I'm a patient guy and already accepted it will be 1 week but 2 became torture! I had a great time yestersday diving into the game and already thrilled with it. I'm hoping by the time Part 3 is released that prices won't so ridiculous and the world will turn to right, as I don't want to have to resort to
Coolshop ever again!
