Wait what? Nintendo's picture of the LE on Facebook mentioned Fry's, WTF.
Why won't Nitnendo offer a 1 per person offer on their website...it's shit like this that makes no sense.

you know, with pre-order allocations selling out... you don't think they could plan to make more?

Well now it turns out they will sell them... around launch... in store only

You should go camp out right now or else you're #notarealfan.Quit playing games with my heart Nintendo. I guess I still have a chance since there are like 3 Frys in my general area.
I have a GS.com preorder and I'm still raging. I really wanted to switch to BB.Was up for an hour on the 7th. Sold out.

The game guide is in stock at Gamestop, as of the time of this post. Not as coveted as the LE but some may want it

Unbelievable how quickly this sold out. Can't believe Nintendo is willing to leave so much money on the table considering the demand.

What the fuck's up with Nintendo and their supply shortages lately?
What happens if Amazon tries to ship something and you don't have enough money on your card? Do they just cancel it? I'm paranoid that I'm going to forget and not have enough on my card and lose my order (since I usually keep a fairly low balance).
It's a Limited Edition....
I can switch payment methods without cancelling and reordering, right?Buy a gift card now and pay it off with the gift card immediately. Then you'll have a fully paid for preorder.
There is no justifiable way a game should sell out of it's limited edition before the thing even has a damned release date. They should make enough that everyone who wants to preorder one can get one,at minimum.
They're just throwing money away.

Their limited have been ridiculously worse than everyone else. No other game sells out in an hour. It's reasonable in this sense to be frustrated. You can still have it limited and sell out and last more than a couple hours after it's postedWell you see here, the game can still be preordered anywhere. This thing called a limited edition, which is the game and a limited edition statue, is sold out. Hence the term limited. You can still get the game just fine.
It took a day for this to sell out? Damn. Hope they open pre orders again.
I have a feeling the guide will be well in stock for awhile. It seems like most just got the bundle for the LE.

Yeah, just like amiibos and GC adapters, right?It's a Limited Edition....

Dude, do you know an item can be available for a week, let alone 24 hours, and still be called Limited Edition? This shit has to stop alreadyNo.
A limited editions whole point is hat its limited. That's the appeal.
A limited edition loses its appeal when you can find hundreds of them in bargan bins after the release of a game.
I have a limited edition Damascus Steel Long Claw sword, it's one in 500 in the world. That's why I bought it. If you could pick them up anywhere, I wouldn't have bought it..
Nintendo is doing this right. Everyone who wants to play the game can. Those who were lucky enough to get the LE, did.
I was talking about Nintendo and it's lately habit to do these kind of supply shortages things, that's why I mentioned them all together, sorry if I offended you.No.
But that's a different story entirely.
Limited Editions are intentionally *gasp* Limited.

Limiteds being limited is a good thing, so long as everyone gets the opportunity.
What's worth complaining about is the too short window between announcement and preorders opening on such a limited product (being gone before most would find out about it), and the lack of purchasing limits, because I'm sure someone bought 20 of them.
That said, even if you found out about it at the end of the day, GameStop had the book bundle open for hours the next morning along with in-store orders for hours following, and Best Buy opened preorders later that night. Unless you found out 2 days late, everyone had their chance. The next being to wait for preorder cancellations on release date, and/or heading to a Fry's store.
It's not even really switching. It's applying the gift card to the existing order in addition to the current payment. Whatever is left over will be applied with the current payment method. So if the gift card covers it then there will be a zero balance for the current method. I learned this from the PS4 launch and it worked great.I can switch payment methods without cancelling and reordering, right?

It's not called "Preorder Edition"
Well you see here, the game can still be preordered anywhere. This thing called a limited edition, which is the game and a limited edition statue, is sold out. Hence the term limited. You can still get the game just fine.
Christ, why is there a defense force for everything.
Not making enough of these is bad for everyone who isn't a scalper. People who want one can't buy it because they're sold out. Nintendo gets less money because they didn't make enough of them to sell at the higher price.
The ONLY people who win are those who intend to flip it for more money.
Christ, why is there a defense force for everything.
No the point of a limited edition isn't that "it's limited", it's to give an extra piece of swag to fans who will pay a bit more., making Nintendo more money in the process. If you have an audience who can't buy your product months in advance, you done fucked up bad.
limited edition
n
1. an edition of something such as a book, plate, etc, that is limited to a specified number

You must be new to the world of collecting. Also to the word "Limited".
It's not just the extra swag. It's the limited run.
