Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Just got a call from my local Gamestop, telling me I have been reimbursed 149.99 for MW 2 Prestige Edition, since supposidly they sold me a preorder that didnt exist, since they had already sold out of the prestige editions at the time I preordered mine. So now, Im out of any special edition MW 2. Does anyone know where else someone would still have any prestige, or even hardened editions? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm never preordering nor even trading or buying games from Gamestop ever again man. For that reason and another reason is that I somehow bought a used game but payed for it like its suppose to be new. Gamestop/EB Games are the biggest rip-off stores ever!

Gamestop can't run out of pre-orders. I work there. We just had our cut-off date for the Prestige Edition of COD:MW2 a few days ago, though.

Gamestop can run out of preorders, or at least thats what they told me when I tried pre ordering Dragon Age origins Collectors Edition for the 360. They said they hadn't sold out of the PS3 Collectors Edition but I want my blood dragon armor in mass effect 2. :) So I preordered from the EA Store, I was desperate :?

Limited/collectable productions are limited, standard editions are virtually unlimited supply at release. Store could have gone beyond their alloted amount of orders of the limited/collectors edition.

Tell gamestop to shove that hardened edition of Modern Warfare 2 up their ***. Make sure it's at night though so only people who managed to get their hands on the prestige edition can see it.

i've always preordered from Amazon and i've always been satisfied. i dunno if they're going to have any supply problems due to how popular MW2 is, but that's probably your best bet.

Isn't that why pre-orders exist so they won't get customers upset when they are out of stock? They should be counting their number of preorders and not sell more than they are getting in. That is like when the overbook airlines

You guys don't understand. Each store gets a certain number of limited editions, if they run out, they run out.

I never pre-order games from stores. I go with Amazon. Matter of fact, the first game I'm ever going to pre-order is Halo 3:ODST off of Amazon. How sad.

I wasn't really a fan of Modern Warfare... The fact that it jumps to current time and ahead makes me gag. Infinity Ward, I thought you focused back to WWII and giving your fans pieces of what is was like back then.

I would say consider yourself lucky, now you get to re-evaluate whether you really want to spend 150 bucks on a game.

And this is why I don't pre-order from places like Bestbuy, Wal-Mart, Target, Gamestop, EB Games. It's because they all have a cut-off date. I go with Amazon.

I did preorder, last month, but I guess that wasnt soon enough. But its all good, I preordered one from Amazon due to all the people telling me to, so I did, and I got same day delivery. And honestly, whether the NVG's arent amazing quality, or if they are, they will look amazing on display.

I had pre-ordered the hardened edition which was cancelled because IW had dropped it and were only selling regular and prestiege copies.
