But, this may not be the case for this, maybe with the success of the Ghost Edition for Destiny, gaming companies are really trying to make these things limited. At PAX a few weeks ago Warner Games was handing out for free the Arkham Origins Collectors Editions for 360/PS3, they must have been sitting on a bunch of them that didn't sell as they gave out nearly 100 copies combined.
I talked to Amazon and they told me they hadn't offered the collector's edition yet for pre-order, but have the ability for people to put in their email address to be notified when they become available. Didn't a few people here already pre-order it on Amazon though??

Yeah, those AO CEs definitely had quite a few left over after the fact. They were clearanced out at many of the retailers in my area. I think this edition is significantly nicer than that, and there DEFINITELY is a lot of "hype" it seems lately with new CE announcements that sell out nearly instantly.
It could be them holding back pre-order thresholds, it could be a legitimately smaller run-size, or it could just be a crazy amount of collectors and re-sellers who make a run on what's available?
I think Amazon has already sold out of their Batmobile CEs, but I could be mistaken. I pre-ordered my Batmobile Edition through Gamestop, but got my LE through Amazon so can't vouch for it - perhaps others here could though.
