Aye, Amazon and Gamestop both sold out, as well as Best Buy, which had this up for pre-order just days ago...

So, this might be an exception to the whole 'fighting game CE's are worthless' rule.

Capcom's online store still has them available for pre-order (with a free t-shirt, too!), but I only saw the PS3 version.

Sounds good

I recently thought about canceling my pre-order but I think there is no need of it now

Aye, this looks to be a good investment indeed.

I think Capcom may have under-estimated demand for these special editions.

Marvel vs Capcom has always been a popular series, just look at what sealed copies of the previous games go for these days.

Also, NA doesn't get many steelbooks, so there may have been a manufacturing bottleneck at some point. Eh.

My thoughts exactly as I pre-ordered it. It was on the top of my most wanted list for commend Edition's. But I started to doubt because so many fighting games Editions flopped before like the European Street Fighter 4 Collector's Edition which I bought for 10€.

So thanks for this information, you saved my day

Edit: wow the T-shirt is pretty nice *jealous*

Wow - thanks for the update, had no idea these were selling out.

I was with everyone else, I though being a fighting game that this would be around for a couples of weeks.

I'm wondering now it these special editions will make it to retail stores in NA. I shall see in a few days..

I'm so glad I preordered in time for the PS3. Europe doesn't even get a decent SE for MvC3. On the issue that fighting game SEs don't do that well is clearly seen on BlazBlue: CS for example. Within a month, it had dropped to 17.99 GBP on amazon.co.uk. >.<

Don't forget the Street fighter 4 and Tekken 6 limited editions. They went for less than £10 before units started to leave shelves. Especially Street Fighter.
