Being a big deadspace fan i decided to get the special edition. From a bit of advice on the forum I ordered it from a shop with a dog and microphone last week. Got email today
Unfortunately, this item is very limited and our supplier has recently advised us that they will be unable to provide us with stock for your order. We will therefore not be able to supply it to you. Consequently, we have cancelled your order for the item, but don’t worry we haven’t charged you!
Anybody else had this
sad :mad:
so sad :mad:
 
I guess it's sad to see them going down this way. Much as I do like to shop online I also like to browse for music, games and movies in HMV or anywhere else for that matter.

Not long left for them, I fear.
 
I refuse to shop with HMV since last christmas. Spent about 80 quid on presents, 1 dvd i bought someone allrerady had it, tried to return it with receipt unopened etc and they made choose an alternative. i didnt want anything.
 
I believe the 'Collector's Edition' on 360 and PC was exclusive to to HMV in the UK, and has sold out, hence no longer being available via their website. This is the version that includes a replica of the Plasma Cutter.

The PS3 CE is Play.com exclusive and doesn't include the replica gun, but the Extraction game + content.

I've noticed there is also a PS3 Limited Edition, which is just the normal game plus Extraction again.
 
I wondered why page was no longer listed on site. The CE's have probably all been bought up by someone selling them on via auction, as seen a listing with 10 stock available (will be funny if he gets his pre-orders cancelled too).

That seems pretty good service to me. They informed you, allowing you to make an order elsewhere. I've known companies that don't bother doing that.
 
I was looking at US forest site, but as I wasn't willing to pay £55 from UK sole supplier I'm sure not going to more and then possible import tax.

I was reluctant to pre-order the CE as previous game CE's I've purchased haven't sold well and then ended up getting heavily discounted. So assumed DS2 would be the same.
 
I have been looking everywhere for this on the 360 and judging by a thread I saw on an EA forum it seems that this edition never was up for ordering in the UK, the thread was 2 months old and nobody could order it then either - seems like UK 360 owners got screwed on this one!
 
From what I've been reading the collectors edition isn't that brilliant either - the 'replica' plasma cutter is about the same size and quality as a free Macdonalds toy.

I gave up buying collectors editions (especially from EA) when the 'art book' in ME2 turned out to be about 8 pages printed on glossy toilet paper. The majority of the thickness of the book was the hardback cover.
