It wasn't even a minute, maybe 30 secs, I had to change my address, because they don't ship to Canada and in that time it was gone, oh lordie.
Ugh, scalpers are the bane of video games... especially with LEs :/
Not even four minutes, it was like 30 seconds.
Unless they allowed more than 1 to be purchased or they lied about the quantity. I can't see it selling out that quickly otherwise.

It was gone ridiculously fast. I really only wanted the extra stuff, and would've preferred it digitally so I could play now....or whenever they decide to update the store which is usually super late anyway.
I only came here to check stock so as soon as it gone on I added 999 and it went down to 500 in seconds then all the way down 144 before it was gone.
I would be interested in the LE if it included some OST .
It really did sold out in less than a minute.
Discussing this on AnimeGAF, the 3 of us that got our orders in used the backdoor and didn't wait for the instock on the front page. When it got delayed going up exactly at midnight, we noticed there was a 1 new available from a buyer. . . And went that route instead. Add to cart and done!

Lol, they must have messed up on the order limit.
Wonder if they'll honor the multiple copies or just cancel those orders.

I was able to add it to cart until 12:04 AM. The thing initially maxed at about 544 orders, lol. I thought it was suppose to be limit 1 per person, which it wasn't
Well it explains it.
Some guy probably purchased 100 copies for himself. Not that it would have mattered to me anyway, since they wouldn't ship to Canada anyway [despite saying otherwise earlier on].
Not a great start, Idea Factory.

If the limit wasn't in place, I hope they cancel orders and refresh stock.
That's exactly what I did as well. Had just enabled 1-click buying a minute before, too.

I was able to add 999 so yes it wasn't 1 per person.

This was the same thing I did. Waiting for the main page was probably what killed it for a bunch of people. I saw the "Available from this seller" and jumped right then. Glad I did.
This is upsetting. >_<
Yeah, I had done that too. But I got as far as selecting a shipping address before I got the message that stock had changed for an item in my cart.
What a shitty way to sell a LE. Why couldn't they do preorders again?
Me three, I think it's the quick or the dead when it comes to this sort of thing. Gonna be a lot of angry people that didn't do the same thing, I imagine.
I saw this as well and went that route and still got fucked over...
Rub it in Rain... >.>

Please give this franchise back to NISA, Idea Factory International.
Honestly, everyone that is complaining about how quickly it sold out should have set-up a one-click buy on their account.
However, one thing that is not the fault of the customer is the lack of international shipping. IF stated multiple times that there would be international shipping available for the Limited Edition. I am absolutely flabbergasted that not even Canada would have shipping options. Also, I noticed some people in the States even missing out due to the same issue.
This is something that needs to be addressed ASAP if they want copies of their game to sell tomorrow.

Oh well.
It saves me around $75 that I can spend on other games. I'll make do with the PS3 version.

This is what bothers me the most. I would have purchased it otherwise. What a disappointment.

This is what I did.
Logged in for 1-click.
Wouldn't take my Georgia address.
Tried to switch Address.
Sold out.
-_-
Why would it not take a US address that has worked for literally hundreds of Amazon orders...
Haha, people are gonna be pissed
They will be.
I can see people passing on the game for this reason alone. Die-hard fans can be a vengeful lot.
They pretend like there was no error on their part.... It's insane, especially if people ordered more than one.

It wouldn't my address either... I live in Texas... bunch of BS...
Yep, one star reviews rolling in already:

IF are a bunch of jerks with that statement. Especially if they don't realize people ordered more than one copy when it was supposed to be one per customer.
Someone on Twitter told IF that they hope the game bombs now, lol
That means it already sold out around that time.
Well that was fast, lol.
