Well I would have really liked to have had this offered for the PC version. I got Flames of Vengeance on Gamersgate but I would re-buy the total package to get my hands on these nice goodies.
But I guess I am out of luck.
If there is not enough demand for a full retail PC release maybe offer a similar package through your website? Hey, very good idea to give ALL (ALL = PC and xbox, Europe AND US players ...!) the possiblity to buy "these nice goodies" with OR without the game!! Set the Artwork + Cd with soundtracks on the Larian Vault and I buy them immediately ! I have already Divinity II twice : the Original Ego Draconis + the DKS (both on Xbox), so ...

As a compulsive acquirer of collectables who's in the UK and not in possession of an Xbox... all I can say is that I'm jealous!  Still, I suppose they're compensation for the US having to wait so long! You've missed out on a lot of collectables Vom, but at least you haven't collected a RROD

But why only for the US? I bought first Divinity II : Ego Draconis and after that Divinity II : The dragon Knight Saga (both on Xbox 360) ... I too feel a little bit ... how shall I say it ... ? ... I feel sad about all this ... me, living in the land (Belgium) of the dev's, but don't can't buy the artbook and/or soundtrack disc ?? Especially the Artbook I wish to read  !! I can understand giving the US players the possibility to gain something extra (if they wish) for compensating the long wait ... And I remember how many gamers in Europe also had the wish to NOT rebuy the Ego Draconis part ... for having Flames of Vengeance on there Xbox 360 ! Don't understand me wrong: I'm happy with my DKS ! But I always hoped I could buy some extra content within the DKS on Xbox ... a map, a artbook, ... but nothing for the European gamers ... I'm really confused !

It is the publisher that determines if there will be any pre-order bonuses, or collector's editions, etc. I assume with the North American Xbox release being delayed compared to everywhere else, and the PC version being available for awhile, that a little extra something would help sales, or attract attention, etc. Larian may (or may not) add additional items to the Vault at some point, though presumably there is some time frame where the soundtrack and art book will be exclusive to the Xbox pre-orders. Promotional gubbins e.g. lithographs etc

You've missed out on a lot of collectables Vom, but at least you haven't collected a RROD There is that. I'm not one of the most patient people when it comes to that sort of thing; I've been idly wondering about the console side of things again lately so thanks for the reminder of one reason I've avoided taking the plunge! It is a North American Xbox release, so will most likely be NTSC only. Since Germany uses PAL for TV video, it will probably not be compatible with a German Xbox console. Publishers can choose to release region free DVDs, but earlier releases of D2:ED and DKS were not. Since this is the last release, it is possible it could be region free, but you would have to check with the publisher.
Something else I'd forgotten about. I know that LCD tellys are increasingly supporting both PAL and NTSC signals (apparently) but I suppose the Xbox itself may still scupper things in that regard. Edit: out of curiosity, I thought I'd see if it was available to non-US customers but Amazon (at least) gives the dreaded message "Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses." I wonder why they do that? Seems the only way to get hold of it would be to get someone in the US to order it and post it on.

Vometia; You can get a NTSC/PAL converter / adapter for the connection cables. AFAIK the main problem is the console itself; a few people have imported consoles in order to play games released in a different region. Amazon and Gamestop have websites in multiple countries, and at least the sites in the US and Canada do not ship software outside of their own region. Amazon sites, at least, all have different distributors, etc, and operate independently. I assume the shipping restrictions are probably due to deals with publishers / distributors, though cost may also be a factor (extra shipping costs, processing time and legal / regulatory compliance). Nobody in Canada with the PC DVD version of DKS ships outside of Canada, either. Steinwächter; Your English is fine.
