Correct, Amazon Germany ships to US unlike UK
Those are preorders, at least the Italian one is, says available January 31st. And looks like it's the PAL version, so your codes wont work for DLC if you import it.
I did; GermaNi no Kuni works for me. Plus, given how much less limited it is, I won't have as much internal struggle on opening vs preserving value and keeping it sealed. Not as good as getting the US version, but a fairly decent substitute ultimately.

I know, but the Italian one looks like it has a multi region box compared to the German one.
They also offer 2~3 day shipping for EUR 24,00 although standard shipping is EUR 10,00.

Thank you for highlighting this..
It is in English and says so in the promo image in the amazon.de too if you read the comments there
The amazon.it one does not say the same though

From NY and Just ordered, $109 Didn't know amazon had Currency Conversion, Crazy how its still cheaper than The Club Namco's shipping and everything, This is why I love Gaf, Thanks for everyone who mentioned ordering form here and the details regarding it( like the book being in English)
I was under the impression that HD games are all 60Hz in PALand.
Talked to Namco directly and they are planning something to address this but the rep I was talking to was not allowed to divulge more that that. They sent my info to to some one else and I should hear back later today or Monday. Rich Bantegui is the one handling this it sounds like so you can also call their main number and ask to be transferred to Rich Bantegui. He is not answering his calls but you can leave a message.
My shipment is certainly making its rounds. From Tenesee, to South Carolina, to Virginia, to Pensylvania. Slowly but surely it'll make it's way to Canada. Shame I won't have it before the weekend.
As of 1 minute ago, mine is scheduled to arrive today.
But I thought the German book was region locked?
tried to get some lightness in this depressing thread
region-free. You're fine.
1 (408) 235-2000 ?
I didn't know if the game was only PAL or NTSC. Never imported anything before.

Well my WE arrived a half hour ago. I'm glad I got it before having to move and was home because this time the UPS guy only lightly knocked and left the box between my doors without having me sign for it. Never usually happens with UPS for me. I guess he got possessed by Digital River just by touching the box and had to let go of it.
The box that it comes in is just big enough for the WE to fit in so there's no jumbling around inside. That's good at least I guess.
I'm unsure if I should open it though now since it was so hard to get here. >_<
I'm glad there are options for the people who got screwed over though. That Amazon.de WE sounds like a great alternative to dealing with these guys.

Oh my God, running my UPS tracking number now gives me a warning that "Adverse Weather May Cause Delay"
Ugh. I keep checking mine. It's been in TN for the past two days. Says it's supposed to be here Tuesday but with all the bad juju associated with this release... *sigh* I wouldn't be surprised if the weather affects mine too.
They do not, unless that changed since last week when I looked into importing Anarchy Reigns from them.
Here is their delivery information page:

it will, you need a german account to download the dlc's. but i don't know if i switch back to my canadian account, i get to keep the dlc's?
and the amazon we has two more pokemons than scamco we?

That's what I wanted to ask, is the German PSN isolated from the rest of Europe? Because my EU account is UK based I think.
Yes, if you switch to another account, you will still have access to the DLC. I do this with JP/Asian PS3 games all the time.
That only works if the DLC applies to the different game codes, i.e. BCUSXXX, BLEUXXX, etc. Most DLC only works for the copies of the game that were meant for the same region.
But if you're using the same region's game on your Canadian account (ie. german game, german dlc, canadian account) than yes it will work. As long as you keep playing the game the DLC was meant for.
I'm not saying they shouldn't; what I'm saying is that people in this thread who are saying the reps should "suck it up" are being ridiculous. At the end of the day, it's not the fault of the reps that this has happened, and when I said "higher ups", I explicitly said that people should be asking to speak to people who are directly responsible or asking how they can contact them directly.
People don't need to get arsy over a bunch of trinkets.

My copy finally came in (had a family member bring it inside the house, lol at no signature). Won't be able to play it till tonight after I get off work, though.
?_?
I'm talking about, for instance, having an Asian version of Tales of Xillia, connecting to HK PSN and downloading DLC, then switching to my NA account and the DLC still works. I'm not really sure what you mean by the first part of your post.
I'm not too sure either now... lol
I thought in this case it's sharing DLC with your two accounts. Unless the DLC in the CE only has a 1 user limit or something, I don't see why this would be an issue as long as you use EU store for EU copy to redeem the code, or NA store for NA copy, etc.
So in otherwords, you should be able to run a EU copy of Ni no Kuni on your NA account with the DLC as long as you redeem the EU DLC content on the EU PSN.
From my understanding, all of the content from (PS3) PSN comes with two licenses: one for accounts and one for hardware, so it's actually using the hardware license which means you can access your digital content from any account on your PS3.
Hm actually yeah this does sound accurate since I do this between my NA, Asia, and JPN accounts all the time with digital content.
Tales of Xillia DLC from Japan PSN will work for the Japan version of the game no matter what account you're logged into.
Tales of Xillia DLC from Japan PSN will not work for the North American version of the game no matter what account you're logged into.
So for Ni No Kuni, if you have European DLC it will work on the European version of the game even if you're logged into a USA account. But if you have a North American version of the game, the DLC likely will not work no matter what you're logged into.
But I don't think anyone is talking about getting the German CE and using the DLC code and then buying a North American version of the game to play?

i really want the na we, but i guess the german one will do for now. worse packaging, german text on manual and box, no coin, cards or cd, but two extra pokemons!

Anyone know how to use the DLC? You get tickets in the game for them but can't figure out how to use the tickets.
If it works like any other DLC code, pop into the Playstation store and redeem the code.
You can't redeem them in the game until a certain point, and I won't spoil it.

No I know that
When you go to your inventory you have tickets in the game for these dlcs, I don't know where in game I can use them.Ahhh ok thanks, as long as it's fairly obvious!
