It's one thing to be late on an order and miss out its another to get confirmation and then have it taken away. Then you see the reason why it was canceled, so they can hand out copies. It's a low blow. I apologize Im trying to vent, usually collecting helps me deal with other issues, this was just bad news and 2k handled it wrong. I won't bring it up again. It easily could have been one of you as me, mortal, and knight all ordered at the same time. I apologize for my ranting. It's tough to collect on a military budget so ill never have that chance again. I've always hated scalpers, in the us there is a show called toy hunter, he pretends he loves collectibles then rips people off, they belong in collections and it's practices like 2ks that help inflate the market and promote what most of us collectors hate.

To be honest they didn't really sell that quick that just made a small number of them

No wonder they charged so much. They had a terrible economies of scale for something like that

I'm sure they will have another printing. Or else they probably would have had them numbered

True, it doesn't seem to make much sense the way they did it

I agree. Like I said I think they didn't give them an official number so they weren't tied down if the game was a huge success (like it is) and they wanted to print more.

Infinite has a better meta critic rating then then Bio 1, I believe, which was the all time best rated shooter I think.

Nowadays, a reprint wouldn't surprise me; however, Irrational did sell a book before (Breaking the Mold Developers Edition Artbook) that they only printed once.

Did the tout it as an LE book though?

Well, the buy button is back again for the unsigned ones, so who knows what's going on!

Nope. There was nothing that said that it would be limited.

I had one in my cart earlier (waiting to buy it) but it seems it may have been sold out when it let me buy it... I will probably get the same shaft that others did.

That is strange. I think this is probably pretty limited, it probably is taking a little longer to sellout because, let's face it, 100 dollars is a lot to pay for a 48 page book...over two dollars a page if you want to look at it that way (and actually aren't there only 24 pages front and back so over 4 dollars per piece of paper). I expect it to be sold out again soon. Beyond that, who knows, a reprint...maybe maybe not. I'm actually leaning toward no reprint. Irrational seems to like producing limited items.
