Aye, {True Strike}

just got back from gamestop successful pre order! Guy behind the counter said he was doing the same thing once his shift ended. Glad to get in on this if it does indeed have a super low production.

This game is my GOTY

Just ordered the Survival Edition online. If anyone needs it, using code SAVER gives you free shipping using the Value method (5-10 business days).

have Survival Edition pre-ordered at Gamestop, its the best value

If not, they will deal with eBay buyer protection for a few weeks. They have a better chance of running into Manti Te'o girlfriend than having that person deliver on the Vita. This game looks to be a very strong candidate for GOTY and was one of the show stealers at E3. Naughty Dog is an amazing company and this could be the start of a brand new AAA franchise like Uncharted. If they said this was extremely limited, that is good enough for me. The pre-order was already sold out online and ND said it would ONLY be available in the U.S. and at Gamestop and extremely limited, so that screams rarity to me. I missed out on Dead Space Ultra Edition and the Kingdoms of Amalur Signature Edition and will never be able to get an Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter's edition, but I am glad that I was able to get this edition.

To be fair, Naughty Dog also said that the UC3 limited edition was "very limited" and look how that turned out.

I think that this edition might actually be limited on the basis that it's a GS exclusive and it's arguably one of THE most highly anticipated games of the year. Let's see how it does.

Nothing guarantees that a game will become limited or rare (unless a print number is released) but things that helped have already been outlined numerous times in this thread.

They are

1) Being a new IP

2) Being retailer Specific

3) Being console Specific


^ This happens to be all three.

I don't doubt that Gamestop at some point allocates more inventory to GS.com but I don't think you'll see discounts on this and I don't think you will find inventory past maybe the first few days when people don't pick up their preorders.

We can also say it is geographic specific because it is only Gamestop in the U.S. and not North America so even Canada and Mexico are left out.

That is certainly true too. And being that it is region free because it is a PS3 game it will have outside demand as well from importers

Oh, I hope I didn't come off as saying that I DON'T think it will be limited. I actually do think it'll be sought after and actually retain value (unlike most CEs).

I'm looking forward to what will happen as the days go by. I hope most of us CAGs were able to put some orders in before it died on GS.com.

Really hope for some kind of ost incentive for the survival edition, I was really digging the music in the trailer.
Woops didn't see it there in the DLC pack. I'm going to go pre-order tomorrow.

Anyone picking this up on midnight

If my local Gamestop does a midnight for this, I will be there. My GS does not normally do this for brand new IPs as it is all about Madden, GTA, COD, AC, etc....or anything that sells a bazillion copies.

Exactly and that is why these people are selling them on eBay already because they are offering it to anyone worldwide to make a quick buck.
