Yeah the sound does sound kinda shitty - but the music in the video doesn't help, nor does the fact it's a video - here's hoping the sound is better, and if not - hey, at least it'll look good on display xx

Yes. yes they are but.... like vhal_x said it could be the quality of the video etc but at the end of the day i don't think many people will be buying on the basis of the sounds alone - that is just an extra in my opinion - it is the portal gun after all

As said above, could just be the quality of the video. Chances are, like my 2 lancers, it won't see a set batteries throughout it's life anyway so I'm not all that arsed about the sounds tbh! lol

just got this email from play.com

"Thank you your pre-order for Valve Portal Prop Replica Gun Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (Play.com Exclusive!).

Sold out now - don't know if they are going to get more since they say 'initial allocation' but i doubt as it is meant to 5000 worldwide if i remember correctly...

Woot! Got the email too, they probably mean that it's the allocation they were given to begin with, they might get a tiny bit more depending on whether or not NECA have allocated them all out, but chances are they won't.

Wonder if anybody's orders were cancelled?

So glad that mine is confirmed though xx

Yeah orders must have been through the roof for them to have to send an email confirming your order out - good that we got in there now they are sold out does that mean it's time to hit ebay, charge £500 and scalp some peeps? ha
