My roomate has been all over the hot deals forum on here and fatwallet since like two weeks ago trying to find the SE at the absolute cheapest place possible. He narrowed it down to eb games, and went to place a preorder there, but they wouldnt take any money. They assured him he would still get it.
I wasnt sweating it, and on a whim the day before it came on, I placed a preorder in store at the same eb games before I hopped on the train. Put 10 bucks down on it.
On the next day, when it officially was coming out, I was on the train back, it was about 7pm. I called my roomie and he said they didnt have any of them. I figured Id go in and check anyway, I ask him if they have it, of course he says no. I ask what about with a preorder? He asks to see the slip, and pulls the SE version out. He said it was the only copy they had there, and apparently I was the first person with a legitimate preorder (that put money down) to come and claim it.
I walked back to out place with a big smile on my face. I asked him what happened, let him tell his story and vent about how pissed he was that he couldnt find it anywhere, and then told him "You probably dont want to see whats in my bag then."
The look on his face was priceless.
Its now friday, and he still refuses to buy the cd version. Im almost done with the single player and Ive been playing it online for days.
Damn good game, but the headset really, really blows. If youre holding out just for it, youre gonna be dissapointed.
There were a grand total of 60,000 SE DVD editions produced, 40,000 of which went to the united states, most of which were used up for pre-orders I'm guessing
