I just called my local store to confirm that they do have the artbook for my reserve

I just got the notice that my pre-order from Gamestop.com was charged and shipped via USPS. The email did say that it included the bonus artbook. FWIW I ordered in January well before the art book was announced.

Im hoping some cancellations for people that pre-ordered with artbook at my local store. (wasnt able to preorder early enough to get a guaranteed artbook) The GS rep mentioned that the store is notorious for having a lot of cancellations at release date. Heck they still have Soul Caliber CE, SFxT CE and i think ME3 CE.

I preordered right after they pulled the artbook.

Called up this morning and asked about it. Manager said she'd gotten a couple of them, if I came by it was mine. Picked it up. It's a nice book for sure, hardly a must own but I wanted it in case I resell the game as I don't plan to even open it for awhile.

Just a heads up, Went to my gamestop and they had a few of these just laying on the counter. People were taking some as well and the employees didn't say anything. So might want to go get your as soon as possible.

After this fiasco I'd say it's best to preorder anything with a preorder bonus online instead of instore. That is if you even do business with gamestop at all...

Will the game be available right at opening tomorrow?

I was told they only had two for the people who ordered in the right time period today....oh well.

I called my store and I asked if they were getting artbooks in and they said they had no idea. I pre-ordered mine in December, so I'll just go see if they even got them in. If they do I'll grab one in the morning.

Preordered way back. Was able to pickup artbook without any problem.
They didn't even check if/when I placed the preorder.
The artbook material is pretty solid & the embossing on front looks great. Its low on content but whatever is there - looks glorious
Overall quite a premium feel to it & I would suggest to grab it while you can.

that is terrible. how many did you see?

If worst comes to worst I'm sure you could write to Gamestop and they'd accommodate you with an artbook via mail or sent to your local store.

I called my preorder store and they said they had enough to cover preorders and extra ones as well. I feel for everyone that doesn't get one tomorrow.

I saw three left, There may have been more earlier that day. They were just laying right next to the gameinformer magazines.

I plan on picking mine up today, will let you know how it goes.

I'm sad cause my gamestop got no artbooks in. Going there early just to be sure but no guarantee. I might try calling the other gamestop to see if they got any in but usually they dont give bonuses out to people unless you preorder at that particular store.

Maybe I'll find one at a discount online. I'm glad I'm getting the game but i wouldn't have preordered it for release if i had known that i would not get an artbook because I can't play the game right away. I could have bought it later on when I had time to play it. At least I supported the sales for the game so its not all bad.

My GameStop is awesome because the guys there share the same interests as me and don't hand out pre-order bonuses all over the place.

Man, this does not sound. I pre-ordered the game on 3/3/2012. Hopefully, I will get an artbook with the game after I get out of work at 4:00pm.
