It's only exclusive to EB games in Australia.

I called two EB games stores: one said it is sold out and another said it is only available to people who already pre-ordered the normal edition.

Thanks for your help SwiftDeath, I've pre-ordered on the nz site. Fingers crossed they will deliver: The NZ EB also say it is exclusive so the only reason mightyape nz have it is they somehow pre-ordered at EB in bulk, or it is a scam.

I highly doubt it is the latter.

Earlier today the CE was up for pre order on the Rockstar warehouse. I had it in my basket ready to check out but didn't.

I can't find it now.

Anyone know what happened?

I was thinking the same thing. It sold out as soon as I finished reading my Rockstar email.

Anyone know if Amazon UK and/or US will be stocking this?

If you're after the big "CE" version then no as the big version is exclusive to Game in the UK and GameStop in the US so amazon US/UK shouldn't be able to sell/stock it

I am so happy right mow - strolled on down to JB-Hi Hi to learn that 15 CEs were allocated to each store, they had 2 left. Got one, and proceeded down to EB to hea that the manager was informed that they were SOLD OUT ACROSS AUSTRALIA. In barely a day.

I am ec-fucking-static.
