FAQ: 
  • What is this thread? A massive collection of limited edition games & other attributing items, included with links. 
  • Why put it all in one thread? More traffic due to collaborating interests.
  • Why is that important? This keeps the thread popular and doesn't risk a failed CE from falling through the cracks unnoticed. 
  • What can be discussed here? Anything relevant to what is posted.
  • Why make another CE compilation? Karma. 
  • Where are the big pictures? Still here, scroll down. Due to the increased number of CEs, a preface post is needed. 
  • When is the Final Fantasy XVI CE? Not announced. Granted, IF it does, you can bet I will devote an entire page to it. 
  • What about other CEs that have been announced? Give me a minute. It takes a bit of time to format the title, price, date, & retailer links in correctly.
  • What about the Book/Steelbook/Console/Misc. Picture Posts? I condensed the thread. Not necessary to include pictures for all those items. They will still be included in the Everything List post.

By 11:15am my store was told to shut off all pre orders for it, and already has 45 pre orders for the standard.
Wow! I'm doubly glad I was able to order online then, I wouldn't have been able to get to the store until after work. I wonder if the standard edition is going to be hard to get too? I had put in an order with Gamestop for the $59.99 price before the CE went up.

 
Still have Walmart and Amazon, let’s not rage yet. Besides, I have plan B, I have an extra botw special edition.
Not looking good for me honestly. It's busy season for us public accountants and hard enough to check for updates and whatnot, while being sleep deprived.

Honestly, worst case... I'll just buy a scalper copy. If Nintendo doesn't want my money, might as give it plus 200% mark up to someone else.

I refuse to believe these things are gone. I ain't even worried about it. The LE Switch consoles were not even hard to acquire. Items like this have been popping up 6 months after the fact as well.

It's been a lonnnnnng time since I've had trouble acquiring a CE from Nintendo.

BUT BUT BUT THE MASTER EDITION. Yes I know, Timmy. I can also name about 15 of them since then that have been np at all to acquire. I got two different BotW SEs which were pretty cool. We will have options. Just gotta stay tuned. There will always be more collectables and they won't squander their opportunity to capitalize on TooK; keep your chin up.

Thinking twice about my wanted dead CE pre order now. Not going oos yet or could be in a few days. Same thing with like a dragon isshin. Wo long steelbook edition still available except for ps5 version for whatever reason. Hope I can wait for price drops for these games before they’re oos
 
So close! Was able to cart it, but not get through checkout fast enough. My cart said "3 left" during checkout process. Dang it. I had just checked minutes before it went live, and then minutes too late.
 
Also, "limit 2?". Kind of a dick move on Walmart's part. Should have been limit 1. Might as well call this one the "bot/scalper edition".
 
Literally checked this page at 8:25 am CST today for any updates... And WM having it was posted at 8:30 am.LOL Oh well, prob wouldn't have mattered since it went so fast.
 
At this point, it’ll be like 90% resellers with this CE. If garbage scalpers are just gonna bot the entire stock It’s not even worth it to collect anymore.

oddly enough, i will be glad when we transition to the All Digital Age next gen.

No more running around like a chicken with our heads cut off trying to get these "physical" CE. Refreshing pages every few seconds to see if the preorder goes up and all the BS that comes with it

Realistic Sony and MS will be the 1st to transition to all digital and Nintendo might transition 2 gen from now(meaning we have another 6-7 years left of this crazy physical CE collecting before all consoles move to digital and then we dont have to worry about all this nonsense)

I guess the only thing we would be chasing after would be the Limited Console editions at that point. Im not much of a collectionist for consoles but i do once in a while pick up LE consoles. I might pick up that rumored Zelda theme console when, and if, it goes up

Pre ordered yesterday in store at GameStop. The employee did it for the regular edition when I specifically ask for the CE. Now it’s sold out. FML.
 
I got a question on Best buy game with  steelbook preorder.  Do they still let you return the game and they dock $10 off the return and you keep the steelbook?  I want to grab octopath steelbook but not sure if i have time for the game with isshin coming out

 
Not really. Who would want to pre-order in a store that'll likely close before the game is out?
I’ve stop doing online pre orders for GS because the last couple times Items have been missing or carriers lost the package. I rather do it in store and the nearest GameStop near me is a bus or train away.

There was no instore pre-order for the CE. Just WIS and online.
That is consistent with what the store manager at my local store said. She said the in store allotments had not yet dropped, and the "in store" preorders that occurred yesterday were just web in store preorders. It could very well be the case that there will be no in store allotments at all (or very few), but she seemed optimistic that they'd at least get a few copies once the in store allocations are determined. Who knows? At this point, that slim chance seems better than trying to beat the bots once Amazon goes live.
 
Looks like the hogwarts limited edition dualsense sold out in a min. Couldn't even add it to cart.
Was just about ask about it... PS's stupid site kept re-directing me to the UK one (because that's where google search first led me) and when I tried to change countries, it only gave me options for other EU countries. Even when I logged it, it just said I wasn't allowed to access the UK region site but did not re-direct me to the US site. I had to go to Sony's main page and then switch countries before the US popped up but by then it was already 10:02 AM PST and I figured it was long gone.

Given how popular the series is, you'd think they'd make enough to at least last a few minutes.

Its a combination of rampant bot/reseller scum and Nintendo once again underestimating the demand of a CE of one of their most loved franchises. Since this is listed as a "Collector's Edition" and not a "Limited Edition", hopefully Nintendo realizes they are leaving a lot of money on the table and print a bunch more.

 
Did everyone here who ordered Like a Dragon for the steelbook at Gamestop cancel theirs when Best Buy came up with it too?

No, I have trade credit at Gamestop I'd rather use.
Man, I'm super out of the loop... didn't realize BBY had the SB too, would rather get it from them since the two times I got GS steelbooks, they were scratched up to all hell. But I also have rewards certs to use up at GS so... prob just gonna risk it with them.

 
I cancelled my Gamestop Yakuza when BB popped in since it actually shows the steelbook on my order. GS screwed me over with Bayo3/Fire Emblem lately so I don't trust them. 

 
Does the best buy buy then return game and keep steelbook for $10 still work?
It does, but my store seems clueless on returns and marked the steelbook as returned also the last 2 times. They usually have to call the manager and ask if an unopened game can be returned.

 
Am I the only who thinks that hogwarts dualsense should’ve been white and gold instead? Anyway not mad that I missed it. Need something better than that. Perhaps FFXVI will have something

I really like the design decision, but that pretty much applies to almost all themed controllers for me. I can find the good qualities in almost all of them. 

On another note, has the Hogwarts Legacy CE dropped down to $99 yet? I figured I would pick it up in the clearance bin since Best Buy still hasn't fulfilled my original order;)
