I have trouble believing that though

As it sold out so fast online originally and now after cancelling some portion of the number that was originally available online, it's taking a lot longer to sell out

If it is as limited as you suggest (and I do believe it could be) I think gamestop must have oversold this

I mean has anyone heard of any orders actually getting cancelled?

Some international orders maybe but just because of gamestops archaic verification system and not because of multiple orders and the like

Again I would love this to to be truly limited but from the what I can see, it looks far more like an increase in production size more than cancellations of orders that led to opening the pre-order again

Would love to be wrong though.....

I understand what you mean, but they canceled orders for many reasons, for improper information, for exceeding quantity or it could even be the one who purchased canceled there own order, and like I stated before this is very limited, I just can't go into details. None of you have to believe me and that's fine, but just so you guys know I know a couple of high ranked individuals at naughty dog and I have even gone to there main office a couple of times. If you guys don't believe me and are so sure that this would be mass produced then don't preorder then and just wait to price drop but don't complain later on when you guys have to pay double or even triple on what you guys could have really gotten it for.

A problem I have is that it has been one of the top sellers on Gamestop since it was back in stock. No way it could be rare with the way it is selling.

Ok like I said don't purchase it on day one and wait for a price drop. I am one of the main one on here that could get a lot of information on this or any other game from naughty dog. Why do you think I could pretty much get anything from naughty dog, since you guys have been waiting to play a demo from the last of us, I have already played it about a year ago. I have had lunch with Evan wells for god sake. So I could pretty much say that I know a thing or two about what's going on. There are just some things that I can't mention or show you guys. Unless they are all lying to me.

Ok, is it possible that Gamestop has oversold it then?

It is possible, it's happened before that they have sold more then what developers have made.

He told me that they have to have paper signed like a contract on how to sell it, what price to sell it for, how many per customer, ect.

Lets face it, since when does a developer have much say in the production numbers, limitation per customer or anything remote like that? Sony as the publisher are calling the shots, i already cancelled

it is now Feb 5th..and this edition is still available...limited to perhaps one million? ..let's get real..we once again almost fell for the limited edition marketing gimmick...this one is being made in the thousands..just like the US NTSC Uncharted 3 edition.

I would be happy if this was only going to be made in the "thousands"

Most CE releases are in the 10's of thousands

Borderlands 2 was 50000.....just for north america

Problem I have with this though is where the info is coming from

I don't trust game journalists or ign when they tell me "Hey there going to make less Halo 4 LE's than originally thought, it's going to be a mad rush on it!"

And then there's 600,000 hmmmm Bad journalists

With this one though the production size is being suggested by individuals personally connected with Naughty dog which I thought would be better information

Not really sure on that now though of course (not their fault of course)

Here's what I think actually happened:

- Naughty Dog wants to make pandemic for true collectors
- So limited production run of less than 8000 decided on
- ND makes deal with gamestop for rights to said edition
- Original Pre-order goes crazy
- Gamestop pressures sony or ND to increase production size to make the moolahs
- Someone gives in and production size is increased tenfold
- Kids in china get a couple more days of work....
