Well, let's see, what do we know about Demon's Souls so far: Atlus game, hard as hell (this should be a given from the first thing I listed), packed with extra goodies if you preorder it (also a given). Add to that list that if you order the Deluxe Edition, you apparently get even more: along with the embossed slipcase version of the game, a strategy game, an art book, and the soundtrack. Wow!
This edition goes for $69.99, which is not too bad considering it's ten bucks more than the regular edition and comes with a ton of stuff. It comes out on October 6th, so not too much longer to wait. I haven't decided on this one yet, as I've deeply backlogged with games I want to play right now. Are you picking it up, or does it sound too punishing for your tastes?

Cost to consumer: YOUR SOUL!
Profit?
PS3 GotY, easy.
I don't even know anything about this game but all of that for $10 more? That's incredible.
I'm hoping some oldschool warcraft.
Also, sorry for being "that guy."
For all those who are confused: you're paying $10 for a $20 strategy guide in the deluxe edition and a small slipcase. That's the only difference.
Send me a PM, and I'll link you to my review. It's not difficulty in a bad way at all: that's a misconception.
Everything is straight forward, and if you have any sort of strategic acumen, you'll prevail.
Stop showing up on these Demon's Souls threads bragging about how much fun you've had! :D We get it, you are one of the luckiest gamers EVAR to have already played it! I bet you are rich, good looking and ALWAYS hit 21 when you play blackjack and your sweat can cure the common cold.
Sheesh!
Just kidding, your hype is only making me want this more! Keep it up.
Haha if you listen to the podcast I'm on, I hype it even more. It's one of the freshest games I've played in my entire life, and definitely worth more than just a niche audience.
If it makes you feel any better, my pre-copy gets completely cut off from all online access at the end of the month. The importers and domestic buyers all get it until the servers shut down. To make matters worse, if I ever do get the US version, I can't transfer my 40+ hour save file!
Only reason I don't buy the japanese version that's been out for over half a year is that the multiplayer online is region-locked and I got friends I wanna play with in U.S.
But yea, hella excited. Gonna have it day-1
@Bluejuan85
I'm wondering that too. In this game you'll die alot, but your first time is always special.
sold i'm preordering tonight!
@Magnalon - wait I won't be able to play my copy of DS's online after. Oct 6th??? Where did you hear this? I may have to craigslist my Korean copy
I have a US, Atlus press copy. Your Korean/International version is perfectly fine, as it's not technically Atlus anyway.
That said, I'm incredibly excited for this game. I've had the special edition preordered for months.
Uh oh, we have a "hard game is actually not hard" guy on our hands.
