So what the deal with the special edition?

My brother busted down my door (even though I knew there were changes) and said "Your gonna be ****ed" he said gamestop called and said they took out all the cool shtuff and replaced it with...stale air and farts from microsoft along with a note that says PWNT! You thought you were getting cool shwagg huh?! SIKE! So Im really disgruntled, I was looking forward to the little hobbe, da itty bitty hobbe man I could put in a gundam headlock. So What does come with it? I mean nothing is as cool as a LE treasure chest but yeah.

They did it because they don't have enough to go around in the American Region (not sure about European or Australian).

As far as I can tell only some UK distributors are cutting the LE package as everywhere else has. Play dot com has for sure, but when I call my local game retailer (of which it is reserved at) they just say "we don't have a list for whats in the LE yet"...which personally I think is BS and either they've cut Hobbes and the Cards OR they have all of it and don't want irate consumers calling up and begging for them to take an order of which they can't accomodate for ¬_¬;

Well, I just want to play. But, its a heart breaker for sure. I was looking forward to the shwag, but, whatever. Its still messed up to wait till a month till release to make a change, youd think people like microsoft had the whole "Marketing" thing downpat.

You see, the deal with Microsoft is that they are so big business that they can do whatever the heck they want. How many % of the world's PCs are running their software, for example?

Shame that Msoft are cutting some of the nicer and novel elements to the LE by the looks of it >.<

Re: So what the deal with the special edition?

Dont know but i just noticed that Gamestop.com doesnt list the limited edition anymore and that my order for it has had the status changed to backordered.

^90pct of places stopped taking LE pre-orders on Monday to ensure that they could have enough stock...my local store is opening at 8am for the day

For GameStop, Fable II is such a big game that I have absolutely no doubt that they'll be getting in an immediate shipment as stores run out. Trust me on this one; if Lego Batman did it then I have a hunch Fable II will.
