Okay, I'll bite.

You named two that didn't sell out quickly. TWO. It's not like there's a whole bunch of GS exclusives that don't sell out quickly... The numbers are quite obviously skewed heavily toward any GS exclusive CE becoming at least slightly rare. FFXII was a lackluster CE, (barely even a CE by today's standards), and came out at a time when CE's weren't that much as a hot commodity as they are now. As for NGIII, your guess is as good as mine as to why that didn't go like hotcakes, but perhaps the unfavorable opinions of the game had something to do with it.

Now then, as for the ones that did sell out pretty quickly and did become rare, I can name these off the top of my head:

MGS3: Subsistence LE
AC II
Bioshock
DOA5
MGS PW

Well, it's only $15 to join for the year, so even if you only bought this one item, you would be up $10 when you consider you'll be getting $20 in certs plus another $5 in certs for the actual purchase ($150X2).

Got my dead space dev team edition today! Love it! #2185/5000

Dead Space Dev kit is awesome! 0890/5000!

Got my Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition in from Namco just now. I'm so glad they ignored my cancellation and sent it to me anyway. This thing is gorgeous.

Also picked up Hitman HD trilogy yesterday. Gonna play it tonight. The artbook is pretty nice. Some of the artwork is meh but some is really nice.

So people who got the Dev team edition got the game early?

No, the game ships separately.

I'm pretty sure I remembered The Walking Dead CE from gamestop was on sale for quite a while. Yet once it was sold out and released, everyone was trying to get one.

I don't know if I should get the Post-Pandemic Edition or the Survival Edition of The Last of Us.

Survival, the artbook is looking awesome, which PPE doesn't have.

I don't see why people think the DOA 5 CE is rare. I can still find them. There is a PS3 copy and a Xbox copy at one of my local stores. It was hot when it first came out, but it's died down quite a bit.

The only CE I can think of that just never sold out and somewhat surprised me is Alan Wake. The CE sucked, but I still would have guessed it would have sold out at some point based on it being a new IP and a good game.

I dunno, man, the Alan Wake CE is one of the few CEs I really enjoy in terms of its bonus content and physical bonuses. I really enjoyed the game (even if a lot of people didn't), and I don't regret picking up the CE on launch week.

There were a lot of Alan Wake CE's produced and the game in general didn't sell very well because of Red Dead Redemption releasing on the same day.

u can get the artbook from amazon so its not that big of a deal.

This! I loved Alan Wake! The game was great and I loved the CE extras. Sure it never sold out but that just meant I got to grab it at a lower price! Totally worth the money!

FYI - The official Injustice: Gods Among Us site has added European countries to it's list of pre-order locations this morning (previously just the US and Canada were listed). The UK page shows Amazon and Game as retailers that will be carrying the Collector's Edition.

While both are linked to, neither has pages up for the CE yet. However Amazon has just put a hold on pre-orders for the standard version (after adding a picture of the CE to the listing yesterday). My guess is the UK CE will be live for preorder there in the next day or so.
