This thread has been linked to the game 'Halo 2'.
So, I roll into Gamestation at 07:00, get interviewed by some bird from the local paper, and eventually arrive at the counter, big-smiled as I await receipt of my Halo 2 LE.
I give my preorder receipt and my name.
"I'm afraid I can't see your name on here, I can only give you a Standard Edition mate."
WTF?!
The moron (who I thought I was sorted with) didn't put my name down in the little preorder book. They only had 14 LE's - they were all reserved, and that was it. For ever.
I'm not as pisssed as I thought I would be, as I've saved a few quid. But I can't believe they could screw this up so easily.
They did give me a display LE case too though, ehich is pretty pointless, but the thought counts.
Awww.
Still, I now have Halo 2, so I'll see you ladies online!

Apparently so. I asked when they were getting more in, he said "When they said it was limited edition, they really meant it. I didn't even expect it to be so limited". They're not getting any more in, ever.
Still, they'll be available on eBay no doubt, for anyone that really wants one.

So they are actually limited then? I honestly thought they would be easy to get hold of bar the first few days.
That's what I thought - it does say 'For Display Only' but I'm sure some geek would buy it.
Don't think I'll persue the availability of the LE now. Not going to all that trouble just for a Making Of I'll never watch.

I fell asleep last night at 9pm (WTF!?) and just got up! heh - Halo 2 should arrive this morning, sell the replacement case on Ebay, some moron will buy it in a few months.
