Everyone pre-ordering the game has automatically been upgraded to the collector's edition, the same was the case for Demon's Souls on release, however as far as i know pre-ordering the game is the only way of getting the collector's edition.

The Edition includes:

• Dark Souls ( Game Disc )
• Game guide
• Original soundtrack
• Behind-The-Scenes Video
• Special Hardback Art Book

Game Trailers :

First review scores are out:

Dengeki PlayStation - 90/90/95/95

I've already got the collector's edition pre-ordered and i'm taking a two week off from college the day this releases.

Hands down my most awaited game of the year.

Lucky bastards get the game early so they can review it. I might pre-order the game so i can get my hands on the Collector's Edition but that all depends if you can pre-order from Dubai, can you?

I also am looking forward to playing this game and will probably come out of my cave sometime after i platinum it

 

[Roark]

Hahah, i've already told my girlfriend to forget i exist till i have the platinum in this one too.

 

[Gizmo]

I'm starting to get pretty excited for this game, I'm gonna try my best to see this game through at least once.

 

[Ex0dus]

Finally!! Umbassa!

 

[Magma]

Since reviews are out, does that mean that the game has gone gold?

Expect a leak anyday then.

 

[GoldenHawk]

Looks like they filled the Dark Soul with LIGGGGGGGHTTTTTTTT!

 

[Roark]

It should be gold because it's releasing in Japan on the 22nd of Sept.

Pre-order it from playasia, they have said they will do the Collector's Edition upgrade for the US version. Pre-ordered mine a while back.

Thank you, may the light guide thee! Umbasa!

Sucks that the Game guide, Original soundtrack and Behind-The-Scenes Video are digital downloads

The CD and art book comes with a Metal Casing and this upgrade is free if u pre-order it so I'm not complaining :looking:

You dont have to play Demon's Souls to get the story of this game but you might need to experience the difficulty of Demon's Souls to know what u r gettin yourself into

 

[Magma]

It should be gold because it's releasing in Japan on the 22nd of Sept.

So if the Japanese version is region free, we'll be able to play it before hand ?

 

[Gizmo]

^^The Japanese version isn't region free actually

All the Dark Souls versions are Region Locked according to Play Asia.

 

[Ex0dus]

Any news/details on the servers?

Like i always say, If u haven't played Demon's Souls and own a PS3. You deserve to get shot.

If you have played Demon's Souls and haven't finished it you're a weak ass Abuses will lead to ban.

If you've earned the Plat in this, you my friend, have my respect.

Thankfully I won't get shot and am not a weak ass Abuses will lead to ban XD
But I have a friend who said that he got Demon's Souls but kept on dying after the 1st level (Tutorial level) :hah:

 

[HOTSHOT]

What are you talking about? I finished it on solo, it was hard but its possible

 

[ali sid]

demon's souls platinum is easily the most satisfying platinum i have ever earned. the game is not impossible to beat or platinum but requires a lot of patience and time. i expect dark souls to be even harder and its platinum even more satisfying to get, but i pray that there are no upgrade stones as torturous to get as the pure Bladestone.
