And also from the article:

It looks like they are basing the 2000 quantity off the certificate in the sample image. Anyway, glad US is getting this release as well.

^probably not a very good metric.

also note that the "gamebox" doesn't denote a platform, the box has a PEGI rating and the disc has an ESRB rating

the box has a PEGI rating and the disc has an ESRB rating

I just noticed that. It blows my mind!

Something doesn't seem right, as ShopTo.net had this edition up on their site a good few days before HMV.

HMV have it for £64.99, and ShopTo at £64.85. GAME also have it, but their price is £74.99! I'm going to Tweet them and see if they will match the price

Amazon.com, which was once sold out of these editions, now has more available for pre-order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I0HL98?ie=UTF8&tag=xbox360poker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creative ASIN=B002I0HL98

The very limited Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition is available again for pre-order at Amazon! This previous run was reported to be a very limited run (under 2000) so get your order in now if still available...
It retails for $89.99 (PC) and $99.99 (PS3 / Xbox 360)
