Agreed, sorry too Gurp. But I am going to reply because I feel that I didn't get my point across.

You are correct it is selfish. No arguing with that.

Other than that, there is almost absolutely no other advantage in reselling a sold out CE for a much higher price.

From what I understand, if you pre-order, you are guaranteed a copy. I didn't read anything about NOT pre-ordering and still getting a copy. With that being said, PRE-ORDER your copy so there isn't any complaining.

I agree it sounds like im bragging. I didnt mean it that way and thats not my point. My point is, is that I took the time/gas/money to preorder this game at my local Gamestop. Those who snoozed did NOT take the time to preorder. I am prompt and punctual with what I do in life. Just my opinion, but do you think a broke/non punctual person even deserves to even get this game? I think not because they didn't earn it.

I guess I wasn't mature at all if you see it that way. I said what I said because I am a grown ass person who can afford whatever the hell it is I want. I only stated that because he complained like a child who needs mommy and daddy to go buy him something(Don't mean disrespect cuz I dont really know how old u r). He stated that if you wanted something, you worker for it which I did. If I wanted to spend money on 20 copies of Borderlands 2, then let me, and then let me do whatever the hell it is I want with it. I still have my freedom to say and do as I please and I can do this with no financial issue compared to someone who complain and can't get just one copy for themselves.

**No disrespect to you Saturn and Deubeuliou. It's just that this isn't the first time I keep reading about complaining about this subject. Like I said previously, when it comes down to it, if you didn't pre-order, then you aren't going to get it and if you are serious about getting it, you buy it on ebay. I've overpaid for games myself on ebay and guess what, I sucked it up because it made me happy to own it.

not taking any sides here..i'm just saying i also have overpaid on ebay and private sellers on amazon several times for collectors editions,..one seller even left me feedback "insulting" me and berating me because i asked for a mint condition box since i was paying double retail price,..only because i could'nt do the initial pre order or find it locally...it comes with the territory...if you collect, at times you will be "forced" to get "ripped off" ...supply demand etc.

I have to agree on that. I got screwed so many times with damaged games.

EBGames AUS just posted on facebook that tomorrow at 12pm (AUS time I presume) they will be relisting some more stock of the Borderlands 2 Loot Chest on their site. Very limited stock though (so I assume it's from cancellations) xx

I was lucky when I pre-ordered my BL2 ULCE for PS3 @ Amazon.fr along with another one for Xbox360 for my brother on the 31st of May.
Three days later, Amazon.fr was out of stock !
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
