I just read this & came here to post about it. I am extremely disappointed that this is a digital-only release. They said there will be a limited physical run in the UK, but since Nintendo insists on region locking their consoles that does me no good.

Well...no money for them. :(

You could always import a copy and hope for a workaround eventually. I don't know if there's many people looking into getting past WiiU region locking, but since there's already a way past 3DS region locking there's a little hope that the WiiU may get the same treatment eventually.

This is very disappointing to hear as this is one of the Wii U games I am looking forward to the most. I may end up still buying it because I just really want to play it :/

Tempting.  Would be immediate purchase if it was a more encompassing soundtrack.

Honestly, the only interesting thing here is the artbook. I'm dissapointed that they only put 10 songs on the usb; why not give us more, or include a physical cd. As of right now, I don't think I can justify putting 30$ extra when the amount of extra stuff isn't that great. However, I'll probably pick up the artbook secondhand once the game comes out.

Yeah, it sucks they only put 10 songs on the USB, but I have to admit that I love the look of the custom USB drive. Not sure if this information is out yet (I didn't see it) but I want to know how big the USB drive is. Apparently big enough to hold 10 songs, but how much room. I could see me actually using this USB drive, it's pretty rad looking. I also like the artbook and the art cell. I have a lot of cells from other games so this fits in with my collection. In the end, its the 100 page artbook and the USB drive that makes it $30 more.

I think 10 songs is about 300-500MB, depending on song length, so they'll probably give out a 2GB drive. Anyways, it just seems dissapointing that we get this stuff for $90, while the European LE has everything ( except the usb drive), a double sided poster, and a steelbook, and will probably be around 60-70 euros once they announce the price.

A steelbook would be very nice, but I don't care anything about posters in sets like these because they're always folded. That makes them useless IMO.

It was up on Amazon very briefly late Sat. night just after it was announced:

http://www.amazon.com/Xenoblade-Chronicles-X-Special-Wii-U/dp/B014LNTVGK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1441118517&sr=8-5&keywords=xenoblade+chronicles+x+special+edition

I imagine GS will list it sooner or later, and it may come back into stock at Amazon as well.
