@KennyKB According to XSEED, ALL first prints should come with the special packaging and art book. I don't think it matters where you buy it from as long as it's a first print. I'd definitely pre-order just to be safe.
@DarkGothic It's not really a delay since there was never an official release date to begin with. All those other dates were simply placeholders put out by Amazon/Gamestop. August 14th is the first official date XSEED has given for the game.
