So yeah that's another reason why dead space sold out quicker then the last of us, also because like I said what was told to me by numerous individuals at naughty dog is that a bunch of orders online were canceled because they exceeded the limit or because they put wrong information, why do you guys think it's only being sold online and not in store. It has been sold out in store for over a week. Like I said before from what I was told there is less pandemic edition then there is GameStop stores worldwide and also take into consideration that this is exclusive to only GameStop stores and not all retailers, if they really wanted to cash in they would have distributed this worldwide.

So what about the number your contact told me? I'll be confused if it's off?

I don't get the problem? Pre-order and then if it's still available a couple of weeks before launch cancel...what I did with MGS:R

What I was told is that is between the number they gave you or less. But not more then what they told you. The previous amount of 800 was just online only.

So no fixed number just a max? Strange but glad to hear it was right.

I agree with you. Every one is complaining that is not limited. Just preorder and if anything cancel. I just don't want to hear anyone later on saying aww I should have purchased it because now is sold out and I have no choice but to pay double the amount on eBay.

They told me that for sure it wont exceed the number they told you previously.

Another side note people are saying that they are producing more to cash in, what about the fortune hunter edition, how many of you on here would have bought it if they would of sold it instead of doing a giveaway. But no they did not care of profit and they know they would have cashed in so please don't use the excuse on that they want to cash in because they know they are going to cash in no matter what just with the regular $60 game.

actually it's a good thing to do - it will mean the price will drop and everyone who held off will get it at a more realistic value. Then maybe devs will wake up and make these things truely limited

Or they could buy it for retail price???? Plus this is 'truely limited'.

Cool. And the explorer edition was also limited and they didn't make another batch. I doubt tbh that profit margins on CE's aren't actually much larger than regular games but they just help with awareness, hype and please fans.

i think we want to believe really hard that explorer edition was very limited..when actually it was widely available for preorders all over PAL territories..and when i preordered mine from amazon germany..it was available for preorder for over 2 months before release..the deal with fortune hunter was it was a promo piece deal cut with subway sandwhich shop..i think subway paid for most of them anyways..i think the reason this last of us edition is not sold in stores anymore because it is such a huge box, and stores have limited stock space and delivery trucks have limited space and it probably weighs a lot more costing more in truck delivery fees and the price is not friendly..so gamestop probably restricted it in stores..if stores ordered let's say 100 preorders per store..where are they going to store them?...plus online order means huge warehouse storage for delivery plus with such a high price..almost the price of a game console..there won't be many takers..thats why it's "online only" i doubt it's strictly limited..i know some die hard naughtydog fans are really passionate and they want to believe game studios and sony are concerned and care about us to an extent they will forego making money and profit just to satisfy our inner fan boy and fan girl wishes..but reality is naughtydog is operated by sony..sony can do whatever the heck it wants..gamestop wants to make money..just don't have the space in stores..remember preorders are just $5 down or whatever..customers can back out on the last minute after delivery..now you got a store with this huge edition blocking storage space..versus online order you can leave it in a huge warehouse and they will charge your card full amount just before it's shipped..
