I would be happy if this was only going to be made in the "thousands"

Most CE releases are in the 10's of thousands

Borderlands 2 was 50000.....just for north america

Problem I have with this though is where the info is coming from

I don't trust game journalists or ign when they tell me "Hey there going to make less Halo 4 LE's than originally thought, it's going to be a mad rush on it!"

And then there's 600,000 hmmmm Bad journalists

With this one though the production size is being suggested by individuals personally connected with Naughty dog which I thought would be better information

Not really sure on that now though of course (not their fault of course)

Here's what I think actually happened:

- Naughty Dog wants to make pandemic for true collectors
- So limited production run of less than 8000 decided on
- ND makes deal with gamestop for rights to said edition
- Original Pre-order goes crazy
- Gamestop pressures sony or ND to increase production size to make the moolahs
- Someone gives in and production size is increased tenfold
- Kids in china get a couple more days of work....
