Bioshock Infinite: AUTOGRAPHED MIND IN REVOLT BOOK only 15 available

[MortalMonday]

This is probably sold out again. This too happened when the MoC bottle was for sale at the Irrational Store. The bottle sold out, then it came back up for sale like a week or two later.

Back when I was trying to buy a bottle, I emailed them asking them what was going on because the site kept giving me the same error that we experienced last night, and again now it seems.

They told me that the bottle was sold out but that they simply hadn't yet removed it from the site. That's why I was getting the error.

The system won't let you complete an order if an item is sold out basically.

Shortly after this, they removed the ability to add the bottle to your cart altogether.

Like I said though, a week or two later they restocked the bottle and orders were going through again. Then shortly after the restock of the bottle, the bottle was taken completely off the site; meaning that you couldn't even see a product page for the bottle. It hasn't been back since.

This is similar to what we experienced with the book. The book probably did sell out two nights ago. They even removed the ability to add the book to your cart for most of yesterday; but then they restocked it yesterday night. A few of us here were able to successfully place orders on the restock in fact. Presumably, since the error is now back again, the book is out of stock again.

Take all this with a grain of salt of course. Because really, why would they need to restock a book that's limited to only 15 copies after all? There's plenty that we don't know about how they run their business over at Irrational. Perhaps they split the stock in two? Maybe they had some cancelations? Who knows...

Who actually got one? There seems to be about 7-8 purchased by users on here? ...This seems weird..

I didn't. I'd have loved to, but I don't have that kinda money to drop on a book right now xx

Hi all. Just signed up. Huge fan of Bioshock and been collecting anything related to it since about 2006.

This is the only place I've found where people are actually talking about this book! I tried purchasing one yesterday but kept getting the dreaded 'can't process your request' message. Ended up buying the vanilla book in sorrow. Kept checking and saw the buy button was up again and gave it a shot about 4 or 5 hours ago. Couldn't believe it got processed - but won't believe it til it arrives. The button is gone again now as a few have mentioned.

I've pretty much bought everything at the store - including the signed lithos, framed litho and so on. Was really lucky and managed to acquire a Crows Vigor bottle in 2011.

So, yes, I managed to order one of each! Maybe I'll keep the vanilla version and take it to PAX Aus in the hope that Ken is there.

Edit: Used a credit card in case people were wondering.

From what I can guess is it wasnt advertised, whomever posted this message in the forums got it to everybody s attention,i just happened to check the store,i had a feeling there was something new there and the order went through,i didn't believe it so I researched a little and the only site I could find about the signed book was this forum, if its legit I don't know but everyone on this forum must have jumped at the chance.it still doesn't sound right though. I couldn't even get the signed lithos so to get something this rare seems crazy, but we will see

Knight what time did your order go through?

[Mancoon]

I got a confirm email at 1.12am eastern time, did any go through after that?i ned to get to bed but can't sleep now

@ Mancoon - it definitely was not advertised. I am obsessed with Bioshock and I'm on the IG site checking the store at least twice a day (and that's a conservative amount). Nothing was posted on their forum or main site either. I had a double take when I saw them listed the first time.

It was after realizing that I couldn't seem to complete the order that I started searching and found this thread.

My confirmation was at about 5pm, in the Melb Australia time zone. If it helps, it's about 9pm now, so this was about 4 hours ago. I kept checking out of curioisty and the buy button was there for at least an hour after I ordered.

For those environmental friendly buyers.
