I guess whatever you're into. This Splinter Cell one is the type of CE that I can see easily dropping quickly and on clearance and such. Never know though.

Both editions look to be sold out already on amazon.

hmmm I have a feeling we will see a restock in the future. Really dont see this CE being worth a whole lot, unless you collect model/ rc planes!

Cool, maybe they aren't going to make many. I imagine they'll restock though. Is everyone selling these? It does say it's available in "very limited quantities" but we all know how that goes. Lately for a lot of the CE's it seems to be true though. Either way I can't justify $170 for that. Maybe if they were numbered with a low run I'd bite.

Incorrect. They were never "in stock" simply because whoever added the listings didn't input the release date or even an estimated release date. You can, however, still preorder them.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 says otherwise, you honestly never really know how these CE are going to turn out. It seems more and more that they are selling out though, maybe they got smarter about over stocking these things.

I miss the old days of $80 collectors editions, I thought those were overpriced and expensive, you can only imagine my grief now.

Black Ops 2 did become available again at GS and Amazon a couple weeks before release though. There always seems to be some last minute wave of stock whether that's because of cancellations or whatever. Having said that, this was never out of stock. The earlier poster was completely wrong as it has said "temporarily out of stock" since the listing went up this morning, but it can be preordered and it's just a glitch in the listing because the person entering the data forgot to enter a projected release date.

htz wasn't being serious about it being "sold out", just providing the link and info that it went up on Amazon.
I think.

Didn't seem like a joke to me, but it's hard to tell without some other indication like a j/k or emoticon.

Me too! Very excited about this book (and game of course). I am kind of surprised that it is still available - they only made 1,000 of these clamshell editions.

I wasn't referring to the availability but to the fact that it did sell out for the most part. I did see these at a few stores a while after release but I'm sure they were just Pre-Orders that were not picked up.

These big box editions always clearance out like crazy. I see multiple copies sitting all over the place on clearance--especially at Best Buy; I don't think there is that much demand. It is also paying a premium for something that is pretty lame. A giant RC toy, or a shabbily made statue is not something I am interested in paying a premium for. It doesn't have to be cheap. I'd be happy to spend $80-90 for a more conservative package with better contents. I also already gave my counter point to your whole 'don't have to buy it argument'. I think that oversimplifies it to a point where we are no longer even having the same conversation.

I actually thought amazon sold out. >_> Didn't know when they put it up, it was set to temp. out of stock. Hard to tell seeing how recent $150+ CEs are selling out quick like the TLOU pandemic edition and bioshock infinite songbird.

And the point still stands that if you don't want it, don't buy it. I don't know why you are arguing this fact. If it doesn't float your boat, then pretend its not out there. No amount of arguing or posting how bad something is will make companies not come out with these bigger and more expensive CEs. The only thing that stops that is bad sales, which that doesn't even really effect it much as you can see when there are clearances at Best Buy or amazon. I don't even really know now what you are trying to argue about with this "conversation" at this point. Let's just agree to disagree, seeing as how I won't change your opinion on the matter, and I'm happy that some have agreed with me.

If you think buying a CE for $150 is a unforgivable rip off and you need to vent that anger in the forum, wait until your girl/wife asks for those thousand dollar purses.

while i suppose i could justify some fancy clothes or purse for said person....unless she is the millionaire of the pair no way in the hell would i ever get a woman a several thousand dollar purse. and even then if i got lucky enough to marry a millionaire i'm making damn sure that money doesn't get blown away by living too crazy.

I'm glad you got some validation, my friend.

I was upset with my BlOps 2 CP purchase. So I managed to snag a $115 one from Amazon Warehouse that was brand new. Returned it to Best Buy, and I feel much better now.

Mainly upset with the foam drone, rest of the stuff was pretty cool.

Op, I saw this missing from the post.

Two things:

1. Women love Coach
2. Your future wife will buy one

You can beat your single chest all you want, but until you're in that situation, the words, "I'll never" are empty.
