Man, these people aren't helpful... OP have a reason to pick laptop over desktop, everyone know desktop is better at price/performance...

Steam minimal requirement:-

CPU:- Intel Core i5 2500 3.1 GHz / AMD® A8 3870 3,6 Ghz

GPU:- NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 465/ ATI Radeon TM HD 6870

Memory :- 8 GB RAM

Based on these requirement, your best bet is to get a laptop with minimal GTX 860m GPU. Some variant of Lenovo Y50 have this GPU.

The bad news is laptop with GTX 860m is priced at 1100 bucks. But I've seen some offers at amazon where you can get them at $899

Examples:-

GTX 960m is a re-branded and overclocked version of GTX 860m, btw..

Some laptops have some gimmick like 4K extra crispy resolution screen, touch screen etc, you do not want it since it only serves to increase the price without any impact on your game performance.

My advice for you is to wait until Dark Souls 3 finally released, and then ask around anyone with cheap laptop if they can play Dark Souls 3. Then buy that laptop. It is most likely you don't even need GTX 465 or ATI Radeon TM HD 6870 (both these is desktop GPU) equivalent on laptop which is GTX 860m to play Dark Souls 3 like the Steam page said. Minimal game requirement usually are overblown for some reason.

I honestly got extremely lucky since nobody knew when Amazon was going to put them up, as well as Amazon denying that they would be having it. According to [Amazon] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Souls-III-Collectors-Official/dp/0744017041/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453998035&sr=8-1&keywords=dark+souls+3+guide) UK it seems that I will get a physical copy as well as a digital alternative to use since the Guide sold at GAME is advertised as a physical copy to my knowledge. Yeah it is! :)

Question about region locking. I have looked this up and I really want to import the physical edition for the PC: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Souls-3-Collectors-PS4/dp/B018Z54YRG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1458345775&sr=8-5&keywords=dark+souls. I live in the U.S. but the U.K. gets more "special editions" and bonuses as an incentive to get people to pre-order more copies (games sales often do better in the US than the UK). I want to know the risks of importing this title if I can at all. I have amazon prime but I hear I might need to have a fake address to also get this and I also hear it being against amazon's ToS? Sorry, hard to find solid information on this game when it isn't out yet.

After informing a bit more, it seems like Berserk is the best answer to my question. Now I wonder, whether this is the first of the English series. The release date is from 2009 while the next volumes are from 2004.

Is this 2009 release just a remake? Is it as good/the same as the original?

Thanks

A good gaming laptop should have a mobile i7 CPU and 960M or higher GPU minimum. What matters for CPUs is the physical core count (4 preferred), not thread count since games do not take advantage of hyper-threading. There i5s with two cores and two hyper-threaded cores which are no good, so always check if the i5 has two or four physical cores.

Laptop example: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i7559-763BLK-Full-HD-GeForce/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=lp_8588812011_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457300719&sr=1-1

A good gaming desktop on the other hand should have something like AMD FX6300 or higher, or Intel I5 (desktop version) for CPU and Nvidia GTX950 or higher, or AMD R9 370 or higher for GPU. GPU will have a bigger impact on performance in majority of games. A desktop will also in most cases offer a lot more performance than a similarly priced laptop.

Desktop example: http://www.amazon.com/iBuyPower-AM-FX03-FX-6300-Processor-Desktop/dp/B012AO2182/ref=sr_1_85?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457300574&sr=1-85

Amazon has The Fire Fades edition which is basically GOTY with all the dlc for $20 right now, ps4 and xbone.

I know it goes on sale on steam now and then too. Personally I like having all the content on a disc, but I think I'm in the minority there.

PC of course has superior framerate if you've got the power, but also hackers.

both work exactly the same. though I think that the xbox one controller feels nicer in the hand. That said, [you are going to need this to play wirelessly] (https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-one/dp/B00ZB7W4QU)

Its been a long journey but I am definitely still learning. The book Drawing with the Left Side of the Brain has a lot of really decent activities that can get you started: https://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Right-Side-Brain-Definitive/dp/1585429201

The problem is that it is like any other skill in that the time involved getting to a level you are happy with can take a LOT of time and forces you to neglect other things you could be doing with your time.

What speed is your internet? In other words, if you had a wired connection and ran a speed test, how fast is it. I've been using this TP-Link one for a while and it works great. But you need to make you check the speed on it before getting one.

So i have this laptop

Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK

and a PS4.

Any advice on which system to pick this up on would be greatly appreciated!

That's funny because the release date on Amazon reads March 11, 2014.

"Your memory must be off then."

Also on Amazon now as well.

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Souls-III-Collectors-PlayStation-4/dp/B0191J0SE8/

Yes there is, it's just not available in North America. Europe and Asia got it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Souls-Collectors-PC-DVD/dp/B018Z54YXK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457818877&sr=8-1&keywords=dark+souls+3+pc

Oh, it's real. But it's a game of the year edition, incorporating the DLC's, not a revamping of the game like SOTFS.

You can't purchase from amazon.com within canada. Change the URL to .ca . like this = http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0191J0RXA/?th=1&psc=1

Cool - is this the adaptor you're talking about?

Not sure why you are getting these responses, it seems available to me. Got these from the official website, i'm sure there are more places to buy them. This is in Europe tho, might be different elsewhere.

Already preordered mine.

Also up on Amazon PS4 and X1

Try to preorder from amazon.de, at least that worked for me (Amazon UK can't deliver Dark Souls to my country, but Amazon DE can).

A couple European Amazon sites (de+fr at least) already have the Collectors and Prestige editions listed for all 3 systems. They have the exclusivity deal for these editions over here.

http://www.amazon.de/Dark-Souls-Collector-Amazon-PlayStation/dp/B018Z54YRG/ref=sr_1_28_twi_gam_1_twi_gam_1_twi_gam_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449627958&sr=8-28

German Amazon site has a 'proper' product page with the switches for regular, Apo, CE, Prestige and PC/consoles. Also 'Not available' yet. *interesting is that CE has exklusiv bei Amazon.de

Amazon Germany still has it: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B018Z54YRG/ref=twister_B00ZQUES3E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
unless you meant the prestige edition which seems to be sold out everywhere.

You can buy it brand new at most bring and mortar stores for $40. My local store sells it for $37.
You can also buy it used on amazon for $20 or less

http://www.amazon.de/Dark-Souls-Collector-Amazon-PlayStation/dp/B018Z54YRG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1452890325&sr=1-1&keywords=dark+souls+3

This is the link to the german amazon site, price is 110€, I dont know how much the shipping for international is, but its not an ungodly amount

They have listings for the standard edition on amazon but they are currently unavailable. My guess is they will be in stock in a few weeks just keep an eye on it

(http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Souls-III-Day-PlayStation-4/dp/B0191J0RXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454188202&sr=8-1&keywords=dark+souls)

I actually prefer this TP-Link AV600 Nano Powerline ethernet Adapter Starter Kit, Powerline speeds up to 600Mbps (TL-PA4010KIT)

Here is the link, its 100$

the english only artbook releases in june 13 (my birthday) and the collectors strategy guide, also available for preorder for April 30 that i mixed up in my previous post.

Europe has PC collectors and prestige editions. You could maybe import it?

[German Amazon] (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B018Z54YRG)

Collector's Edition Pre-order.

Apocalypse isn't coming to NA.

This person's translations are done via the direction of Cambridge's Latin textbooks.
Considering the high regard its curriculum is placed in, I consider this to be a far more accurate transcription than those 2 videos.

GOTY will be $50

see

I'll also add the Amazon.co.uk link. And it seems the UK page mentions that the guide has 480 pages (the other ones only mention 320 pages).

Can we not put links in this post?
http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Souls-III-Estus-Flask/dp/0744017068/

Yeah, grab the fire fades edition. Comes with all the DLC.

Do you have a link to the CE for PC in the UK? It isn't showing up in search for me.

EDIT: Here it is. Unfortunately I seem to have missed it though. Thanks a lot Namco Bandai, they never even updated their pre-order site.

If this is used, my bad, but I didn't see it specified so I assumed it meant new

I'm not discrediting your connection, but unless it's literally fibre internet hitting near gigabit speeds, it'll still have an impact with wifi vs ethernet. You can use a powerline adapter, plugged in from the mains AC, to sync your computer and router despite distance. This gives you far less of the minor packet loss you could be experiencing.

If you're interested in a powerline adapter, check this. Though really if you get <10 ping in most games, I'm unsure if you need it.

Nice referrer link, twat.

i mean seriously look at the prices.

$26.00 USD For the hard back strategey guide + lined Dark Souls III Darksign Journal.

and the only thing extra they give you with the version that costs almost three times as much

1. A useless resin flask. $12.00
   
2. A metal sword bookmark $2.00
   
3. A Cardboard box to keep it all in. $1.00
   
   that totals about forty bucks and some change. where is the rest of the value of this product? Standard mark up is 20%, so 48 bucks for it- 50 with tax. its still thirty bucks too expensive. (hell now that i think about it, pre markup the standard hard back guide would cost only 19 dollars. that comes out to be 34 dollars. )
   
   
   

because digital games are a scam
