That's pretty good to see. Hopefully that'll reflect prices from larger retailers like Amazon. A bit confused at the "Was £26.49" though.
Anyone ever had any experiences with 365games? I've never heard of them before myself.

Just posting from my info from the other thread and I will keep it updated as best I can.

Some UK retailers have their pre-orders now live. A couple of them mention that there is a Free poster included with the game of the original artwork, however some don't. SimplyGames also has a release date of 28th September, but the others do not /have placeholders.
My first thought was that the poster was included in all retail game boxes, as the first 2 sites show that a poster is included, but ShopTo.net has no mention of the poster at this current time.

Edit: Made some changes to the list. All Physical version include poster, dates are all placeholder so have removed them. Added a new column which contains information if you need to pay upfront, or if they charge on Dispatch.

Also seeing release dates ranging from the end of August to the end of September.

This site is a wholesale site though so I am not sure if the August release is for sale to retailers

I'm hoping we get a listing up on Amazon soon, although I suspect that will only be the case once the release date is officially announced.

Damn those are some very sweet prices. I may have to buy at 8 copies if thats what they're being priced at.

If it does get released in september, I'm guessing Shenmue 3 will certainly be delayed into 2019, just to space things out. I'll wait until i see it on amazon before preordering.

[Jibby]

My guess in the discord was 18th of September lol only 10 days off if SimplyGames is right.

How crazy is all this haha! Still can't really believe it. Like we knew it was eventually going to come, but the fact that it is on the main banner of some UK retailer's sites is just madness !

Insanely hyped on that poster!

hopefully there will be a bit of a price war this month to get all those early pre orders. it might go down further.

I'd pay 60 if that was the price . From what I've seen across multiple gaming forums, $30 seems to be the perfect price point and was very clever from Sega.

There are sooo many posts from people who are saying they will jump in to the series at the price, just because of how much they have heard about Shenmue and the weight that it holds. If it was $40 or something, these people might just brush it off and miss out.

Sega actually seem to be very good at this when you take a look at the Yakuza 0 and Kiwami prices. They definitely have some great data/experience when it comes to working out their pricing.

Is that shop reliable?

They are usually reliable, but as far as the release date is concerned, I guess they got it from their wholesale retailer, which is probably the German site posted by Peter above. Therefore that date may not be the "available on the shelves" date.

Be careful pre-ordering from 365games. They charge immediately for pre-orders. If you don't want to pay until either the release date is announced or the release itself, I would either hold off for a while or pre-order from one of the other available retailers who don't charge until dispatch.
