Something is not right about your deal.
The "elite" edition Q3 mentioned is described in your link as being in the collectors tin box. There were a limited number of those made and they all sold out withing 30 days, and that was over a year ago.

 

[KameLeon]

Hell if i knew..

Read on e-toys:


<< ...Comes packaged in a collectible tin box.... >>


and it says elite edition.

 

[cremefilled]

Awesome find!

 

[dougjnn]

Totally agree. Quake III Arena, Thief II and Diablo II for $57 shipped.

Sweet!!!

 

[BlueHeelers]

I just ordered the Q3 tin box for $24.49 shipped. I hope this deal is good.

From the tech<gooddeals>.com website:

<<Etoys has put Vendors on hold. Etoys has formed a creditors committee and it does not look like they are shipping orders. Call 310-998-6005 to hear etoys message to their creditors. (Thanks Phil) They are shipping orders to US but not to Canada. (Thanks Burt) >>

Pretty worrying. US purchasers by credit card should eventually come out whole, no matter what. But it could be a whole big hassle, credit limit hit, etc. Speaking as one who ordered first and found this info second.

I know something about this area, actually. It may be that they don't try to mess with the credit card cos, and the source of their current cash flow. I'm hoping for the best.

 

[dougjnn]

Can anyone please explain to me the rules around here?? They include the obvious, but go way beyond that.

E.g. my having to say tech<gooddeals>.com website, in the prior post. Why on earth was that censored?

 

[Willith]

Ordered my Q3. We'll see if I get a shipment confirmation, got the order confirmation. So, I know they can take my money, now just wait and see if they can deliver my game.

 

[Jim]

my point was that the Q3 tinbox editions are long gone, and the ID guy (CEO) mentioned that it was limited and there would be no more. Strikes me as odd that we now have a flaming hot deal over a year later for a product that was supposed to be a limited edition.

 

[namlook]

Maybe some distributor found a bunch of them in a warehouse somewhere? Stuff like that happens all the time.

 

[dougjnn]

How's about Deus Ex for 18.99?

And well, I confess to wanting Tiger Woods Golf 2001 and Grand Theft Auto 2001 for cheaper each as well.

 

[BurninUp]

Thanks KillerDC - I nailed the extra 10% with a wish list - wow I got some awesomE deals off etoys today - makes up for the 400$+ they got from me before Xmas - Thanks a lot guys

 

[KameLeon]

I wasn't really putting any emphasis on the elite edition part. I haven't found Quake III for less than $30 online anywhere. Of course, monkey island is relatively new and GREAT game, and for $8.99, It's a steal.

 

[Achilles81]

Damn... Quake III is gone. how many did you guys order? I was going to get that and Monkey Island... but now I guess I'll have to settle for Diablo II and Monkey Island... Diablo II is worth it right? I never played the first one.

 

[auyong]

I bought 5 diablo iis! Too bad quake is gone...could have bought a bunch also...

 

[Achilles81]

Damn this forum... I just spent $25.63 on Diablo II and Monkey Island when I should have been saving it to purchase the rest of my new computer. Damn you all.

&quot;You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!&quot;

 

[Zero]

What do you mean Quake is gone? I just ordered it. Came to $25.87 total. Confirmation number and all. We'll see what happens.

Zero

 

[auyong]

Yep it's gone. It was out of stock at first(around 2am today) and now(830am) it says we no longer sell this item.

 

[HKSturboKID]

I ordered for Etoys 2 weeks ago and got my order last week. I just ordered about $200 bux worth of stuff yesterday. They have a lot of great deals on Models. Now I am gonna hunt down to see what games to get.

 

[dougjnn]

We can't blame an etailer from selling out.

What is annoying is when they don't update their stock except for once a day. Which is most of them. eToys seems to have a better model than that. At least theoretically. We'll see how well the performance matches.

I got a couple of orders in last night (ones'es, no eFlay action here). We'll see what ships. So far I'm &quot;In Process&quot;.

 

[Zero]

Wierd. I was able to get in my order at 4am PST. I doubt I'll get it though.

[HONKER24]

They also have Crimson Skies for 26.99, but I'm not gonna make another order from them until I get my Toy Story 2 DVD pack which I ordered from them on Dec. 27th and still haven't received

Edit: They also have MS Flight Simulator 2k Professional Edition for 36.99, that's the cheapest I've seen it so far.
