I was using that very same email thingy on their site.Domino Theory said:Where exactly are you sending these emails at? I'm at the "Help" section of Amazon.com sending an email about this whole thing and they just email me back with the obligatory "we screwed on the price, we canceled your order, sorry, that's it."

I would honestly join them if I could, but someone, somewhere is facing a head office meeting cos of you guys! You should feel ashamed of yourselves
and should send me flaming helmet codes in repentance. :lol
Out of interest does anyone think that the Limited edition version of the game will be available in store? Im pretty sure the limited quantities thing only applied to the Legendary version right?

I still haven't got a cancellation email from Amazon yet, so maybe they will just keep my order.
Edit: Amazon is showing no recent orders. Email sent.

I'll pay full price for the legendary edition, but I have a brother to split it with so it isn't all that bad for me.

So who's going to be playing Halo: Reach while wearing the Cat Helmet with the 10 pound statue on their lap while they drink some Halo Game Fuel while wearing a Halo Ecko t-shirt with a Halo: Legends poster all over your wall and the Halo theme blasting through your speakers?

I might have bad news guys...I just talked to them on the phone about it and the woman helping me took awhile and then came back(I used the excuse that a friend of mine had gotten it lowered to a discounted price) and she said that directly from the marketing team they had been told they were going to go through and specifically cancel every order that involved the Legendary Edition being at a discounted price, even if it was set that way after the original canceling of the orders. Don't know for sure if that'll happen but I thought I'd let you all know.

They can do that even after we talked to CS about it and they honored it?
She said she went to talk to her supervisor and that he had been told a bit ago that marketing was going to cancel any orders because of how big of a price difference it was. Here's what she said in an e-mail to me after the call had ended:CrazedArabMan said:
Hello Thomas,
Once again, I'm sorry about this price error. This is a rare occurrence on our site.
In this case, we're unable to offer this item for the incorrectly posted price. Again, I'm very sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment this causes.
We won't be fulfilling any orders at the incorrectly posted price.
Thanks for taking the time to share your comments. We respect your opinions and value your feedback.
It sounds like those that did get through got lucky to get someone clueless but that marketing has already caught on and is going to stop it :/ Hopefully that's not the case and they were simply referring to those original orders and the message got miscommunicated along the way.

The smell of desperation to get a clearly mistakenly huge discount on an item already worth the full RRP lingers in the air here. :lol

Indeed. :lol
I just would rather get it for $60 than $150. Either way though, I will be getting it.

Not gonna lie but yes, with paying for school and such, I've been more conservative about my money and if I see a really good deal or a way to save a lot of money, I go for it.

This is an outrage! I demand the brand new game for 60% off!

Can you blame us? Why wouldn't we try to get it for $90 off given the chance?:lol The thing is even though I put in some effort to try to get the deal, it's not like I'm heartbroken now that it didn't work out. As it was I was going to be going out at midnight anyways to pick up a regular copy of the game just so I could still play through it that night. Now I'll just pick up the Legendary Edition instead.Dani said:

I think Newegg trolls customers on the gaming side for the hell of it. :lol
Edit: I still have mine at $108 for the Legendary Edition which is worse than $60, but better than $150. If they end up canceling mine again, I'll still order at Amazon for the $150 because they're infinitely better than GameStop. I'm so glad I'm Amazon-exclusive for my gaming needs now. <3

God damn I can't stop watching the Read ViDocs. The game just looks so damn good. I'm reminding all my friends who haven't picked up ODST yet to go do so so we can play together in the beta.

I don't think it will work now, everyone here and a couple of my friends who tried it after I got honored have said that they are getting the "can not honor it" e-mails.

If you still have a spot, Ill join in
:lol Yeah sure, cause it's not like you couldn't buy the regular version at midnight, play it until the Legendary Edition arrives, and then trade it in or sell it on ebay and still have spent less money than the Limited Edition. Nope, that's totally not possible.Lunchbox said:

So guys (urk) has there been anything said about your penalty for quitting games. I've got a decent record of quits 231/3288. 100 or so is from lag outs when I had constant internet problems, for 2 months. I just thought it be Cr, like 1000 per game or something, or is there a greater price to pay?

And yeah, hurry up repairing my console Microsoft or I might turn crazy next week.
I would avatar quote you, but I prefered the old one
Either way its insane that the shop is fully booked, how big is the shop? I may have to get a move on and pre orded just the limited edition at this rate.
