If any of you were dumb to trust walmart like me, you should check your emails because I just got my CE canceled. According to them they had less then they thought. >< So far that's gamestop and walmart that's canceled on me, luckily amazon.com has been straight up since October lol.
Anyways, yea. Fuckin walmart.
Dear Nathan,
Thank you for your recent order from Walmart.com.
Unfortunately, due to a system error, our supply of "Diablo III Collector’s Edition" did not match the number of pre-orders we received for the game. Because of this, we have had to remove this item from your order(s).
This item was part of your Walmart.com order number(s): blahblahblah
Other items you may have purchased within your order(s) were not affected.
We're deeply sorry about this cancellation. It does not reflect the high level of service that we strive to provide our customers. To thank you for your understanding, we'll email you a $10 eGift Card to apply towards a future Walmart.com purchase. This eGift Card can be used at Walmart.com only.
yeah i don't know what Mastodon means.. Dude walmart is the last place i'd ever get my games from lol
Bestbuy ftw! And they did free next day air shipping! Went from Kentucky to LA today! It's in transit but probably won't get it til tomorrow
Yea well I guess it's my own fault. I ordered from Amazon and from gamestop back in october. Had my CC numbers changed afterwords and gamestop canceled my order when it didn't go through once, without even contacting me >< but then walmart said they had some up so I was like sure WTH lets try them. Nope lol. I know I know I'm trying to be greedy and get two, let's just hope my one from amazon arrives in one piece. Says it should be here Wednesday.
Oh.. well shit at least you got one and didn't get completely screwed. I'm so glad I didn't order from Amazon seeing as how some people couldn't get theirs.

I actually work for Walmart and I usually buy my games there because I can pick them up at work and the discount knocks off the tax and a little extra. I know my particular store has plenty of the regular edition but we didn't get any of the CE. Of course this only applies to my store and not the .com site.
at least you're getting a $10 walmart gift card for the inconvenience! screw walmart, i feel bad for you.
lol Ty =) At least so far Amazon seems on the up and up, just shipped (will be here wed.) I'm just surprised I had gamestop and walmart cancel on me, one after the other ><
Same here! That's why I just ordered the digital version on battle.net, and ordered the Collector's Edition on Amazon as well cause I was pretty certain they weren't going to deliver it release day up here. :/

Yea I'm actually stoked it's going to be as soon as wednesday, before walmart canceled they said it would be the 22nd lol. Where are you at? I'm in Wasilla.

Normally I'm in Anchorage, but my work has me going out to Kodiak. So I'll be there all summer.
You should read this post if you ordered from Amazon:
I ordered my CE from Amazon in November with the Book of Cain. I got the book.
They never let me select release day shipping... also on my amazon page it says "shipping soon" today. Since November the estimated shipping date was the 20th-23rd for standard shipping. I'm starting to have a funny feeling that Amazon fell into the same trap though. I also have a funny feeling that there was some sort of disconnect between people that ordered earlier than others who ordered later on. I'm also starting to wonder if Blizzard dicked all of these retailers over by not giving them an exact number or coming up short on them. It's easy to blame the retailers for "being greedy" by letting customers over-reserve an item, but I've never had problems with places like Amazon before, even when dealing with Amazon sellers.
I talked to Amazon customer service today and we took a good look at whatever she was allowed to look at. She made it a point to tell me to "check my email frequently" because "they have more orders than they have CE's in stock." She asked me to check my email frequently this week because "in situations like these with Collector's Editions, Amazon may send you an email asking if you are still interested in getting this item." If you don't respond to that email in that sort of situation, they may automatically opt you out of getting a CE and refund you. They do this in hopes of seeing if some people want it more than others and they can free up stock.
So yeah. I'm starting to lose faith in me getting this stupid CE just because I bothered to order it so early in advance. I'm getting this vibe that copies might not even be handed out on a chronological basis. But in all honestly, if I get refunded and not get this thing, I'll probably be happier. Paying $100 was a really stupid idea in the first place and the last truely great Blizzard CE was Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Vanilla WoW's was also pretty damn good... but not as amazing as WC3's.
