And the week after, the edition popped up again... Resellers asking for more than 250€ for it.
I guess it worked for them as now it's out of stock again!

I wonder if games editors/producers don't count on that a little bit for marketing purpose... They propose standard, limited, collector editions for most of their games. Ubisoft is proposing 4 or 5 special editions for AC III !!!
IMO, that kind of feeds the underground collecting business, making goodies rare and valuable, and therefore participating in the reputation/fame/success of their licences.

Consumerization...
If it doesn't have a statue, I could careless on getting those special editions. I really think its a BS for die hard collectors who don't have the money to spend. Unless you have a crapload of money who don't give a s*it
So to get back on topic, 12 more days!!! Can't wait to resell my copy LOL
Just kidding, I will adore it on my display case where it belong
Imagine what value will gamestop give you for trading the Ultimate Loot. I might go ahead and ask just for the sake of it lol
