Thanks!, i'm lucky to find someone willing to help me with my order on Amazon, but maybe i should just get it from there instead because it's cheaper!.

Makes a change to come on here and not see this thread stuck at the top of the New Posts page

I ordered three of these, 1 PC, 1 360 and 1 PS3, i will be keeping the 360 and if GAME do not cancel my order i will sell the others at RRP to anyone who missed out, i will wait a week or so to see if they cancel then offer them

Gearbox has already said there won't be more of these released, so the limited quantity you'll see put back up on GAME will be from cancellations, that's IT.

As for talking of scalpers, I think inflated preorder prices on eBay is a bit much. Besides that, I'm a reseller and I have no problem saying that. I'm a collector as well, but I honestly don't have to money to collect typically; the only way I can is by reselling stuff I don't want as much so that I'm able to buy things I do want.

Just something to think about before bashing "scalpers" is they're being called. I personally would love to buy this edition and open it up and keep it, but I will probably keep it sealed as an investment while I just buy a standard copy to play.

I don't think, from what you described, you are considered a "scalper" Idio.

Scalpers are those who buy MASSIVE quantities of the same edition, knowing full well it's limited, and then reselling it either before release or shortly after.

Just buying 1 or 2 copies, and keeping 1 sealed for investment does not make you a scalper. You would have to specifically buy to resell ALL the time and do it precariously and with evil, menacing intent.

Looks like they are available at GAME again, hope these are just from cancellations.

I guess people just seem to loop resellers and scalpers into the same lot oftentimes. I have no problem buying something from someone for a low price and selling it for a higher one. For example, I bought a special edition PSP from Jugo for $100, and it's well worth $200. I used it lightly; it was my first PSP and I had fun with it until I bought another (cheaper) PSP for myself. Now I need to sell it, and one way or another I will be making money off it.

Some people think that's a douchebag move, but hey, I don't have money to throw around like some people.

That is a little douchbaggish, but, it still doesn't classify you as a "true" scalper. Scalpers are sinister, evil beings who sit in the sky and prey on all our limited releases here on Earth. Then every time something is announced, they find a way to buy dozens of copies and fuck us poor, simple, starving collectors over. I believe they get a real "kick" out of watching us crawl, scrape and beg. Same goes for promotional items that are usually given out free. They grab as many as they can and resell them all. Greedy bastards in the clouds.

Idiotekque · #**479** 05-30-2012, 05:46 AM

True, I never mass buy like that. Everyone deserves to have a shot at buying any given item at launch for MSRP. I wouldn't have the cash to do that monopolistic garbage anyhow.

Got a funny thing, it weren't suppose to go up on saturday, they didn't seem to have any banners for it on their website, no promotional stuff, but now they do. But still do think it will be sold out by lunch time. I just want to know if they'll cancel my order due to ordering different formats, Because I know they'll cancel mine after they've ran out of stock.
