from JD_2020 twitter>---- @FlipinDazzel stated that the hardened was sold out at his gamestop and this is what jd_2020 responded with

@FlipinDazzel It sold out in your area. That's why they're called "Limited Collectors Editions" =P - they really are in limited supply.

turns out all Gamestops are sold out BUT you can still get hardened from Amazon, wal-mart, and BestBuy

[DEMON xMYQx]

Each Gamestop and EB Games bids for a certain amount of copies of each Limited Edition of games, for example Halo Reach Limited and Legendary. The reason being because they are limited. You have to pre-order as soon as possible otherwise you cannot guarantee a special edition of a game.

I've already ordered the regular edition for the PS3, but it is possible to upgrade to hardened edition? I've been regretting not buying hardened edition, I was thinking I might get it instead of the normal version.

Btw, my heart sank when I read the title of this thread on the homepage, then I clicked it and it said "for Xbox 360" and I was really relieved :lol:

Ahhh, i remember you from the old CoDz. You made some really great quality threads and theories. Great to have you back!

Hi CODz community,

First post from a far-from-first-time-member. Been browsing the site since zombies came out, I used to be JezusSaurusRex on here but I guess my account isn't active on the CODz forum anymore.

I just got back from sitting in rush hour traffic for an hour to hear a GameStop employee say, "We aren't taking anymore hardened edition preorders," followed by the other employee working saying, "And neither are any other GameStops." Right then my heart sank...

I'd been waiting it out to preorder and somehow I wait until the day zombies gets announced. Yet, its still almost a month and a half before the release date. The employees suggested I buy the prestige edition and "just sell the toy car". I'll be made a fool of much more intuitively than to purchase a single game title with a bunch of other useless plastic items for $150. I believe I speak for this community when I say; the maps should be fucking FREE. We already paid 800MS points per map and now we're paying for them again? I mean I'm a sucker for marketing, but this is just getting ridiculous. The previous game cost was over $100 with the three map packs and now its [was] a [$80 or] $140 buy-in? It seems rather far-fetched that a company that develops videogames would skip out on a chance to make another x$/customer on a multi-million consumer market. But since they've already announced their plans to empty our wallets, I decided to preorder the regular game. I almost walked out without making any preorder at all, but that would have just delayed the amount of time before I could play the game.

It seems like--with their commenting on planning to do DLC--the maps will come out later for those of us that only have the option of picking the regular or prestige edition. With Treyarch's creativity and ability to keep secrets for the benifit of surprises, they could be intentionally not mentioning that the maps will become DLC as a marketing ploy (to sell more hardened/prestige editions). In addition, I feel they may not announce the four maps at all for DLC until they make the release successfully and do not effect the quality of their sales.

All I can say is that I really hope Treyarch stays on-target and does it right. Thus far I feel they've done that, exactly. Should be everything MW2 tried to be and more!

Cheers,

OG RJ

you can still get it in GAME, and gamestation in the uk

ive already pre ordered so it doesnt efectme, ifact i think i probally one of the cause

did you know i preordered it in hmv for 1/2 the price of game? and you could do it in the shop which was cool, actually i put a tab on it, meaning they'll buy it for me and others bulk cheap, then i buy it of them, which ends up still cheaper than game... about £50 overall... but i'm not sure if the woman actually tabbed it.. if they havent ill yell untill they give it to me... :roll:

[the 1]
