I would have gotten more than 1 CE if I had thought of it at the time. I'll probably go check Wal-Mart at midnight and see if I can snatch up a second one.
Sold out everywhere I look in Australia now, we must have gotten one of the last copies JBHIFI had, gonna make a pretty penny in about 6 months me thinks
Blizzard has said that before about past CE's. Don't believe everything you read and as I said before, Amazon has been having stock pop in and out of stock all week.
Not much, because they aren't limited, or, likely a bit more than they are now. The Star 2 Collectors is 150 bucks on Amazon.
That's actually not correct. There's a set amount of CE's produced. Where they go afterwards is a different matter. Some remain unsold and get re-distributed elsewhere, giving the illusion they were produced later on. Some pre-orders also get cancelled with the same result.
I used to work in retail so I know this as a fact.

Morrigan have you looked in GAME? That's where I got mine from, granted it was about 6 months to a year ago now but I've found these sorts of games aren't as popular in the small suburban shopping centres (Westfield if you know what they are).
relax! i was half joking when i said that. yes i did pre order 3 extras but im giving one to a friend FOR FREE, selling one to another friend for retail price and the last one i will either keep unopened OR sell at an inflated price to make for the one i gave away FOR FREE.
Pff, you only said that because you got called out!
called out on what sir? i can do whatever the fuck i want with my money.
LIMITED CE Cataclysm: 39 € in Germany, 34 BP in UK
LIMITED CE Wrath: 79€ in Germany, 69 BP in UK
LIMITED CE BC: 99 € in Germany, 89 BP in UK
LIMITED CE SC2: 89 € in Germany, 89 BP in UK
I'm always against selling for profit. I don't see how "to cover the cost of my own" is a justification. ITS NOT.
If you want to buy extra so you can retail price sell it to your FRIENDS, or gift it, since its one amazing gift to get, then maybe.
All I know is that if I have extra cash and run into one, I'll buy it so I can give it to someone I care about.
It doesn't need justification. Profit is usually a good thing. Like some of those European places that held off on their CE preorders to jack up the price. That's smart business. Why? Because there are people willing to pay the price, it's worth it to them, and it's still a win-win situation because both parties get what they wanted.
There is nothing morally wrong with profiting off of others slowness. It doesn't matter what their situation happens to be either. I had a used laptop once, and sold it on Craig's list to some Mexican dude. Brand new at the time was $1000, used was $500 according to ebay. I sold that sucker for $700 bucks, basically $200 more bucks than what the 'market' determined. That's a profit. And ya know what? I slept like a baby that night. I didn't lie to him or anything, to him it was worth $700.
Just because someone buys some extra copies of the CE before anyone else does (when they all had years to do the same) for profit, and doesn't wrap it up in some mush gushy lovey dovey intentions to give to someone else does not make them a bad person.

This is slightly off topic but I might aswell post in here because some of you might still be looking for the elusive CE. Anyways, Blizz seems to be partnered up with Best Buy and they have 50 CE copies of D3 at select stores for the midnight release. I am Canadian and I know the Canadian stores are doing it, but I am not sure if its the same in USA. I would assume so because both BB and Blizz are American and I can't see why they would just do this for Canada (although we are pretty damn awesome).
I'd be curious if they had a page like this for the US stores because I called 5 Best Buy's that were on the midnight list and they ALL said they will have NO CE copies for sale. They were only opening for those who pre-ordered CE and if you wanted to purchase an SE copy.

I was under the impression that Best Buy wasnt taking in store pre orders on CEs. Futureshop is having a midnight opening and it is first come, first serve for CEs and they are owned by Best Buy...

I see nothing wrong there?! What exactly did ButtonNose did wrong? I plan to sell my second CE too, why not? I can do everything I want with it.
Listen, I'm a certified ESL teacher. I'm in Seoul, but I can do online classes for a gouging profit, or you can reread my post again and promptly apologize.

I received TWO beta keys. Eat it and like it.
Kayzer might wanna look at the link you skipped over, stores will get them 1 time and they will be gone https://twitter.com/...741139584782337
I have 2 copies coming from Amazon in the same order.
Damn, you must've ordered really early than before they implemented the '1 per order' rule. I ordered mine the day of the release announcement.
