Re: Retro City Rampage DX Limited Retail Edition (2000 units)
I pre-ordered the night before the pre-orders closed. Six days (April 2nd - 8th) was all the pre-order was up for before "selling out". Someone on another forum posted speculation, prior to the pre-order closing, that the number of copies made was likely either 3,000 or 3,500, either of which would seem to fit with the short sell-out time imo.
Also the game's creator seemed to insinuate that all copies of the game are/were already produced and in his posession. The "pre-order" was more or less him pre-selling off all of the games before comitting to an official release date so that he could mail themm all at the same time in order to get a bulk mailing/shipping rate. Again, makes sense to me from a small business stand point, especially if he plans to actually package, label, and mail/ship all of the games himself. If he is working on doing it in such manner then the lack of a committed release/shipping date, other than saying "end of the month", makes a lot more sense.
