You're assuming that people just preorder every LE and leave it to chance. Threads like these help prevent people from making poor investments. Anyone who's followed more than a couple limited edition releases should have half a brain.
I just got this at Gamestop. I didn't preorder, but they had 3 extras so I got one. I went to bestbuy to kill some time before meeting up with my GF and bestbuy had 0 LE and 20+ regular edition.
bestbuy also offers the dynamic theme
most likely same sku (not sure about upc). keep in mind, different upcs are often consolidated into one BB sku like Tomb Raider BB exclusive.
No. It just means the case itself is in the form of a book. Albeit a very small book (in the case of movies it is basically like a tiny hardcover book, with about 20-30 pages, and then a spot for the movie).
Yup. Though historically you can usually get some bang for your buck. Like MK / Injustice costumes being sold for 40+, Home preorder costumes were worth 60 at one point, Cyber Ninja DLC was selling for $6 - $20 on ebay, even things like those tiny Kyurem figures were / are selling for more than the game itself is actually worth.
How many times has this actually rung true though? While you might save money on the MSRP, you can also lose money a number of different ways.
While I have no clue why this needs to be stated... the digibook is the artbook and the artbook is the digibook.
everything is in the le package, no separate artbook/
in a way, the dragons crown artbook is rare, not even amazon is carrying it anymore
Tip: Never trust a press release to say anything helpful in terms of preorders. Like the artbook was a limited edition "preorder" item, yet it turned out to be a first print edition. They also tend to imply X retailer might have preorder items, but the reality is that they don't always get them. So long story short... you're most likely out of luck. Especially since I've never heard of Target giving many (or really any that weren't packed in) preorder codes.
I ordered from Amazon and have Prime with Release Day shipping and it looks like mine isn't going to arrive today either. Guess I need to contact Customer Service. Just thought I'd mention that since Amazon is also going to arrive after it should.
Contact them after you receive it, just in case your copy arrives flatten, like mine did.
so you ended up with the game in regular case, and no artbook at all. nice.If your name is Jose and you pre-ordered at the Best Buy on Sepluveda in CA... you're welcome.
The customer service reps were going to give me your L.E. copy since they only had five and they didn't even set my pre-order aside, but I decide to just settle with the regular edition instead of taking your copy. After watching the unboxing video, I'm kinda glad I didn't take it since I'd much rather have an artbook that's seperate from the game case. So, yes... you should be very thankful, Jose.
By the way, the code for the dynamic theme was printed on the receipt and also emailed to the account tied to my RZ membership after I picked up my copy.
This guy knows the tricks of the trade.
I got really lucky and the lady on the phone from best buy is overnighting me a LE copy and forgot to set up a return so I got a LE copy for free =). Unless she calls back asking if I got the LE copy and tells me I have to return the other one. But I think that is illegal to make me ship back a copy on their mistake I could be wrong.
I've been there before with Newegg and dead space 2. Ordered the limited edition and received the regular. Tried to return and they stated it was the same sku. Stopped using Newegg that day for games. After all of this and having to worry about it, I may be done with best buy too. They keep going further and further down hill gaming wise.
Let me know the name of the store where you purchase your logic. I'd like to go pay the owner a visit. He must have insane prices. I need to have a talk with him to try and bring down his prices to help you out.
I called again and got a supervisor who gave me a $25 gift card on top of the $10 creditI got really lucky and the lady on the phone from best buy is overnighting me a LE copy and forgot to set up a return so I got a LE copy for free =). Unless she calls back asking if I got the LE copy and tells me I have to return the other one. But I think that is illegal to make me ship back a copy on their mistake I could be wrong.
Here is picture of the order she setup.
I am pretty sure a store cannot force you to send a copy of a game you got for free if it was a error on their part..... So my logic isn't incorrect. Maybe if they setup a return/exchange then I would be obligated to but the lady made a totally different order. So thanks for your great input that wasn't at all needed.
You did order the merch, slick. So your link is irrelevant. This didn't just magically show up on your door step. You ordered a copy, got the wrong version, called back and complained and the lady is sending out a corrected version. Your link holds no weight.
So your putting words into my mouth? I said that is was illegal to make you send back a item on their mistake. Like I said the lady didn't make a return like she said she was going to do. She told me she was going to help me out and just make a new order and make it 0 dollars. And technically I didn't order the merchandise I was asking to do a exchange and she made me a new order for a a new copy. Since the way she explained it her exchange system was down so she was just going to make a new order. Technically they can probably charge my card but I am allowed to fight it if it was a error on their part I can fight it and idk if they take returns of opened games.

This isn't like you ordered a copy of Grand Theft Auto V and got a toaster... you got a copy of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 (which you DID order), but it didn't happen to be the version you WANTED. The only thing "illegal" here is you committing fraud / scamming BestBuy, though lets now turn this topic into sitcom / drama educated kids argue about what is and isn't legal.
So if I buy a car from a dealership, they deliver it, but it doesn't have the limited wheels that I wanted, it's illegal for them to make me ship it back because they made the mistake. I'm using your same concept on a much larger scale. You should be in the right to keep the mistake of a car, and keep the correct version with the limited wheels? All I can say is wow. I hope they charge your card. Inventory on a store of this size isn't just going to overlook the fact. I really hope you get charged twice!
