US Dollar Quote Likely Means It’s Coming to the States
Following up on the confirmation of ASR Transformed coming to mobile devices that we brought you first in a bulletin, those same documents from the Las Vegas Licensing Expo confirm a $45 price point for Pix’N Love’s Sonic History book.
You can see this being part of a larger licensing strategy for Sega that includes apparel, search and find books, localized Archie Sonic Comics for Europe, and more. All told, more than 40 licensees are on board with Sonic merchandise.
But that $45 price sticks out, as to this point the English translation has only been confirmed for Britain. Even there, no release date has been solidified. But why would Sega peg a price point in American dollars if it wasn’t coming to the states? We’ll try and seek clarification. There is more to these documents–though nothing terribly earth-shattering like you may have heard–so we’ll cover the remaining tidbits from Sega’s Las Vegas Licensing Expo releases on Thursday.

I’d consider myself a pretty big fan of the Sonic series, and I live in the U.S. If I could get someone’s honest opinion, though, is $45.00 worth it? I mean, how many pages are in it, and how much of the history does it really tell?
Since this book MAY be released in the US, I shall consider getting this when I can.
I really wanna get this. But knowing how quick to the punch Sonic fans are, the first shipments will probably be out of stock before you say “Blast Processing”.
It’s something like 200 pages isn’t it?
A hard cover coffee table book like this is usually anywhere between 40-50 bucks.
Totally worth it to have nice compendium like this sitting in my living room.
Just give me an ordering page and let’s get this shit goooinn’
Isn’t this the book that came with Sonic Generations Deluxe Edition? Either way I wanna get it.
KICK @$$ well that all kinds of nice info to know and yes that book…when its out I’m definitely gonna have to get it. Thats just sumethin I can’t pass up. =D
I do want this. I am a huge Sonic Fan here in the U.S.
I’ll get it if I have the money.
This may be slightly off topic but I want to know more about that bi-monthly magazine that Panini is going to release in Germany.
Also very curious about the Panini comics, the way it was worded has them sounding like original stories..
For the people who’re curious about its contents, it feels as if they googled “Sonic” and made a compilation of the most famous interviews while downloading as much quality pictures as possible. There’s little to no exclusive content, and they don’t dwell on the alternate universes (tv, comics…) at all. Basically it is a recap for non Sonic fans who are interested in how he came to be.
$45?!
Yeowch, no thanks. I’ll just by the Amazing Spider-Man game.
It´s isn´t pricy. The book is made on Europe, where $45 are really 35,52€.
45 isnt bad at all. Id pick it up now for 45 as if you wait youll be looking at a much more extreme price.
I’ll try to get it.
$45 is horrible for a bunch of garbage I can look up on google in ten seconds.
I want that Sonic History book so bad. Where can I order it?
@JayFoxFire
I cant find any pre-order for it on their website or anywhere, they say it was a possible JUNE release but we’d have heard something by now. Look on their Facebook page
So by that logic anything I can find using google forget spending any money on. Like I said before 45 bucks isnt bad at all considering they sell those Sonic toys for over a hundred.
