I called all the gamestops, no go either. I'm now at the mercy of gaf and eBay. Uggh. I'm this close to buying it for $200 on eBay, and just eating ramen noodles all next week. Don't want to deal with this anymore.

[Arpeggio23]

RPGCrazied, don't call Best Buy. You need to go to the store in person. The people answering the phone don't know what on earth you are talking about and don't care enough to figure it out. Best Buy isn't like GameStop where they specialize in games. The guy/girl answering the phone could be working in the washing machine department for all you know.

So true. This is how I ended up waiting an hour in a midnight launch line hoping for a copy. Curse you BBY.

[throwawayname]

I cant even find the normal edition in stores anymore.

[DoctorWho]

Amazon with the hookup.

Its in stock

[dark10x]

they made too many Bioshock 2 CEs. it's Halo 3 CE level.

Tell me about it.

I actually bought one when the game was released (PS3 version) and ended up picking up a second (this time 360) for $5. It was a really beautiful CE (one of the best I've seen) so I figured, why not?

[Zerokku]

Amazon has CE in stock again. Probably your only chance.

totally, i love the artbook so it's worth grabbing it for cheap.

[Dragoon_lantz]

Just paid on amazon thank goodness I have a smartphone heres hoping I was in time

Thank you!! Canceled the order I was getting for $199(with amazone prime card) and getting this for $99.99. Plus 2 day shipping!!! Thanks DoctorWho. ;)

[Deadly Cyclone]

Agh, I kind of want the CE but am not completely sure this will run well enough that I should buy it now... I meet the specs, but am just a bit over...

[RPGCrazied]

damn, that was fast! looks like its going to happen, now I can finally go play my digital version.

[BeEatNU]

Amazon with the hookup.

nice nice.

looks like it popped up

gratz RPGCrazied you needed it :D

[RPGCrazied]

nice nice. looks like it popped up gratz RPGCrazied you needed it :D

Thanks. :)I was going to buy one from you if you still had it, nice to see I can get this at retail price. I feel sorry for the folks on ebay buying it for over $150.

[RPGCrazied]

Oh wow, sorry for double post. Its already sold out again on Amazon. I was lucky to have been in this thread at this moment.

[BeEatNU]

shouldn't feel sorry, that's kinda how supply and demand goes.
people who wanted it pre-oredered it in advance, but it's all good.
:)

[RPGCrazied]

I should get it right? "shipping soon" that means I get one ? But it sold out again on Amazon. They could just cancel the order. :/

[Cels]

just got home from Fry's in Anaheim. They had like 20 CE's on the table.

[LiK]

OOS

[Totobeni]

Oh wow, sorry for double post. Its already sold out again on Amazon. I was lucky to have been in this thread at this moment.

I believe they were the cancelled ones ( of people who pre ordred them then just cancelled days/weeks before the release), so yeah you are super lucky.

[Retro_]

Just gonna check gamestops on thursday for any unclaimed ones.

That's when I get paid anyways.

A little bummed I missed out on amazon putting it back in stock though lol

[MikeE21286]

You'll be good.

By the way. I was lucky to get one of these also after Walmart cancelled my pre-order, so I'm selling my new and sealed standard edition for $53 in the buy/sell/trade thread in the community forum. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM

[AGITΩ]

Your best shot is saturday at best buy. They sent all our stores exactly enough for preorders. But if they dont pick them up in 5 days, they are sellable. If had so many CE calls at my store, but so far 6 haven't picked up their copies.

[Dead]

Local Frys and Microcenter stores were both sold out within minutes of opening...

[Zeer0id]

Got my 2nd CE in the mail just now :P

[Hesemonni]

Went to get my copy, the store had 25 of CEs on shelves. (Finland)

Which store? :D

[Respawn]

There are a couple at the Microcenter in Yonkers NY. You can reserve it for in store pick up.

I live in Yonkers but I don't see the CE on their website. Do I have to call instead?

[Snkfanatic]

damn, that was fast! looks like its going to happen, now I can finally go play my digital version.

Awesome man it is really worth it.

[zoukka]

I will just hunt the artbook from somewhere*WHINK HINT WINK* I don't need the big ass box and plastic crap.

[heckmanimation]

my coworker just found some at BestBuy on broadway north of houston in NYC.

but their computer system is down so he couldnt buy it! or even reserve it!!!


but yeah they have them... i u want to check later today.

[Yaska]

Which store? :D

Verkkokauppa.com

[Raptomex]

When I picked my reserved copy up at Best Buy the guy pulled it out of a case with like several others. Not sure if they're all reserves or not, though.

[Teknoman]

Honestly, thats the one thing I dont like about...non-Nintendo collectors edition stuff. You can usually find them in stores discounted to or even under the normal version's retail price. Whats the point of a collectors edition if you can find it anywhere well after release?

I will just hunt the artbook from somewhere*WHINK HINT WINK* I don't need the big ass box and plastic crap.

Its a really nice box.

[fatty]

I want the game but probably won't get it right away. Artbook from the CE seems nice but what I'm really interested in is the soundtrack.

[isny]

You mean you'll buy it from me? =D

He wants the book, you want the soundtrack, I want the USB key, that works out well! You should both PM me!

[Vice]

Try Walmart or K-Mart. They over order Blizzard CE's, a few in my town still had some WoW expansion packs and SC2 collector's editions until a few months ago.

Drive up to the shitty suburb cities of Dallas.

[desertdroog]

I'm in chandler, Az and no Best buy, walmart or gamestop has extras or cancelled preorders. Going to hit the rest of the greater metro area after work.

Found a SC2 CE day of at a Best Buy last time.

[desertdroog]

Well no dice. Either Blizzard didn't flood the market with DIII CE's or no one gave a crap regarding SCII CE.

Maybe one will pop up down the road and I hope everyone who bought more than one choke on their inflated sell price, if that was their intent via Ebay/Amazon. May the return on your investment return a loss on every copy you purchased.

*harrumph!*

[Mattdaddy]

Yeah same here, I tore North Dallas apart. Walmarts, Best Buys, Frys, Gamestops... nada. No wings for me I guess.

thanks to this thread. only interested in the digital goods tbh

[Dartastic]

I've got a sealed one I can sell. -.-

[AdmiralSnackbar]

Your best bet is to find a backwoods walmart in the middle of nowhere. I think my local walmart might still have the SC2 CE sitting beneath the xbox games.

[desertdroog]

I've got a sealed one I can sell. -.-

What is your price?

[Dartastic]

What is your price?

Where do you live? Also, I'm assuming you want the whole package and not just the ce key? I bought it because of D2 and the expansion, mostly because I found it randomly today and I already bought the game online.

[Seik]

I got lucky today, I went to the store to take my pre-order (Standard Edition) and then the guy tells me that he still have one CE. After GAFing around during all my brakes at work I saw that it was worth it and already hard to find... I took it, no choice, and its so damn filled with stuff, I don't regret a single second. :P

Thanks, guy who chocked on his pre-order. :P

[thebeeks]

Yeah same here, I tore North Dallas apart. Walmarts, Best Buys, Frys, Gamestops... nada. No wings for me I guess.

Did you try the Fry's in Irving off 635? They always seem to order ample Limited/Collector's Editions. I remember seeing the big Skyrim and Cataclysm boxes months after the game's release.

[SMT]

You'll never find it, too bad man. I didn't want to piss all over your parade, but damn dog, we pre-ordered a year in advance, why didn't you?
