   lol.."limited availbility" ...if i had a dollar for everytime somebody said that when it came to video games collector editions...it's a nice piece..would like to know how many will be made?..50,000?..250,000 worldwide?...i think there should be some sort of consumer protection laws in place..that limited edition cannot be more than lets say 20% of total production of this game title etc.

   I wasn't impressed. And when somethign like this is very limited it basically means there will be several 1000s, sometimes 10000s.

   60 for a statue
   Yea I'm not getting it new
   I'm waiting for game to slash the price on this
   Or maybe they'll see the error of there ways and sell the statue seperately for 50

10. LowlyAssassin:
    I don't think it's a game exclusive I think they just have UK retail rights
    But thats just a guess

11. comaamen86:
    yep other countries have it but uk is game only would be expensive to import without free shipping if game sold out

    i speak only for my local game and webstore as i am sure there are many good game stores and staff, but they are a bunch of fucking chimps who wear the pre-order shirt at the same time as telling you they run out.

    Yep. Same thing happened with my local GAME, formerly Gamestation.
    
    Me: Can I have a Halo 4 steelbook please?
    Store Monkey: They're for display.
    Me: What if I pre-order the game?
    Store Monkey: Yeah, OK then.
    Me: OK, I'll pre-order a copy.
    
    -Pre-orders Halo 4-
    
    Me: Can I have a steelbook now?
    Store Monkey: No.
    Me: Why not? You said I could if I pre-ordered.
    Store Monkey: They're point of sale display items and are not for sale.
    Me: But you have loads.
    Store Monkey: Yeah and they're for display for customers to see to entice them to pre-order the game.
    Me: Even the other ones which are behind the front row of steelbooks?
    Store Monkey: Yes.
    Me: What do you do with them after the game is released?
    Store Monkey: They get thrown away.
    Me: So why can't I can't I have one?
    Store Monkey: They're point of Display...
    Me: Fuck off you prick...
    
    -Leaves store infuriated-
    
    The end!
