Why is GOW2 AF "unavailable" on Amzon?

[EarthBoundX5]

So I was holding off on Gears Of War 2: All Fronts in the hopes that maybe the no more retail disc version was bull (which of course its not). Anyways, they have the retail code card online on Amazon but its "unavailable", and has been everytime I've checked it. Anyone know why??

They canceled the retail version. It's only available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. You still get all the in-game content, you miss out on the poster and the other physical items.

So as in, they canceled the actual retail code version? (ie I cant go and buy one of the stupid cardboard codes for it?)

Its not that I didn't believe him, its that I thought that by the cancellation of the "retail" version it meant the disc, not the code.

Thanks both for helping answer my question.
