I donno...I guess i like to feel special for owning one
aaannnd it might have something to do with the fact that I pre ordered 3 extras that i will be selling...
I'm glad you took 3 pre-orders away from the other people who "wanted to feel special for owning one" so you can price gouge and extort fellow fans.
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.
even if you did buy 3 and sold all 3 . . . i dont see how it matters to anyone else. its supply and demand . . . people had plenty of time to preorder from several months ago . . . early bird catches the worm.

oh just to let you guys know . . . i only bought 1 copy. too poor to buy anymore. but they had copies from many stores for 3-4 months before they even sold out. and amazon brought out more copies twice i believe.

I'm not really riding a moral high horse.
It just struck me as odd you're on a fansite hoping that the Collectors Editions are limited so you can make money off of other people who want one.

You know amazon had them available to pre-order for about 2-3 months? and i think they only stopped a few weeks ago also and you don't even pay for it till its shipped was it that difficult for those other people to order one? No not at all. You cant expect to just order one week or two before launch that's just silly
Uhhh, nah, Amazon sold out insanely fast and they've been sold out and have only very rarely as far as I've heard reopened pre-orders. And as soon as they did they were sold out again.

o well, according to you everyone who didnt get one can just stroll into wal mart a week after and buy one right?
Haha, I have no idea. I was just stating what I've observed in the past.

what do you mean "once more are made"? there wont be more made, thats the whole point...
For most of the Blizzard CE's after Vanilla WoW, I could walk into any store a week afterwards, even Wal-Mart, and find the collectors editions restocked. The first wave being sent out is not the only wave.
They are limited and numbered. No more prints are going to be made.
Which was that they'd be abundantly available and not very limited and that poster that pre-ordered 3 copies hoping to resell for BIG $$$ was just foolish.

Well what was the point in the comment about ButtonNose buying 3 lol if they're so abundantly available why attack someone because they bought more than one, even if they where going to sell them on.
The point was the intent of buying 3 copies?
You know, the part where she said "I hope they are limited so I can sell mine for more money."
And you just showed they aren't limited because you can still pre-order on a website. So you backed up my initial argument.
Running in circles how? By proving my initial point in saying I doubt the Collectors Editions will be very limited?
Which you responded to by saying, "I sure hope not, I want to make money!"
So, the only people in circles here are you and Shadowslains, it would appear.

you say theyre not limited, then go on a big rant about how they sold out instantly and how i stole christmas from the children by pre ordering 3, then you revert back to saying that they are not limited at all...thats what i call chasing your tail sir.
and get off my non existent nuts. i already explained to you that I got 2 CEs for friends and im considering selling one (not that i have to justify shit all to you)
now I'm not saying they are all sold out, because some stores dont do pre orders and others might not get the influx of customers for CE that they were expecting. I'm saying that the CE is LIMITED, so, once out of production (highly likely that they are now out of production) and all copies in stores are sold, you wont be able to get more. walking into a store a week after release and finding a CE for sale is not substantial evidence to say they are not limited.
Just FYI, I was overseas during burning crusade's release, I got back a 2 weeks after and searched my entire city for collectors editions because my pre-order fell through while i was gone and none could be found.
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 said I doubt they will be as limited as people think, then I said I was able to find past collectors editions in stores a week or two after the rush.
You told me you hope that wont happen, because you pre-ordered 3 and want to resell them for higher prices.
I said a lot of stores sold out instantly, and I'm sad you took some gamers pre-orders away.
Then someone starts telling me that stores didn't sell out instantly... Which was my original point. A lot of stores still have editions available, and even if they are "limited" you will likely still be able to find plenty.
This is a classic example of a Straw man argument from you.
It doesn't say anything about the number of copies. I'm not trolling.

I read that, but I'm still not seeing how "limited" it's supposed to be. Or how many copies they're sending out, etc. My guess is thats what they want, to keep us guessing.
I'm selling Starcraft II CE and Cataclysm for 200€ each and I'm undercutting competitors in my country. If you got an extra CE wait 1 year or more, it will be pretty valuable since it won't be available anywhere. I don't know how 'limited' editions are, but all have sold out in no time since vanilla, vanilla CE is worth 500€ or more now.

The 50 CE thingy is right in the middle of the E-Flyer.

No they are not numbered and if you've been watching Amazon the last few days they have been popping in and out of stock.
