So, is there anyone besides me that got multiple copies? (One to play, and one to keep sealed)

It's already sold out on Amazon. I'm hoping it goes the way of Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Would have bought the last one at Target this evening, but one corner was all smashed up. Ick. I hope the ones on the way via USPS are packed decently.

Our local store didn't get any yet I'll have to go again later today an dseeif they got any yet. That surprised the hell out of me too, that's NOT one of those games I could see not being available from release.

My copy from Amazon arrived on Tues delivered by UPS and it arrived in a padded envelope, with one corner (about 1/4 of the box) crushed.

This is the FIRST item I've ever ordered from Amazon that didn't arrive in a box, including when I ordered just one CD or DVD. I've sent an Email to them about this and also rated the packaging as unsatisfactory. We'll see if anything happens.

Hopefully, everyone else has their copy come in a box.

I ordered mine from Amazon as well. Arrived in a box in perfect condition. I have only had one bad packaging experience with Amazon and that is when they packaged a Blue Ray in a padded envelope and a corner of the case was crushed. Usually most games, DVDs, or Blue Rays I get from Amazon are shrunk wrapped to a piece of cardboard then put in a box with bubble wrap.

Ordered mine from Amazon as well, should be here today.

I noticed today that Amazon is now out of stock on the game but other sellers there are asking $51.99 and higher for it.

I'm really curious how "limited" this edition is, i.e. is the print run really small and limited?

Saw a bunch at Best Buy the other day. Now I'm still tempted to pick it up and keep it sealed for 20 years.

I just received an Email from Amazon apologizing profusely for the packaging error and damage to the Mario All Star's game I bought from them. Not only did they say they were sorry 4 times within the letter, they processed a $29.99 refund.... "as compensation for our mistake. Please accept this refund as a gesture of goodwill in hope that you will continue to be a regular customer with us".

Truly unbelievable customer service provided by Amazon!!

They are the best.

I doubt it's "limited" or anything (or maybe that is in reference to the audio disc being included) It's probably just limited till christmass so bust out your credit cards before it's to late to get one before christmass.

Awesome CS there. To bad about your game though, oh, did that work still? That's cool either way.

[Atariboy]

I imagine it will be another Metroid Prime Trilogy (Another limited edition). Everyone that wants this shouldn't have any trouble locating a copy at the MSRP over the coming weeks and months.

Amazon are fantastic, been doing business with them for years. I buy 99% of my games from them.

[Austin]

I am so weak. I bought into this today.

Although, funny story.. My Best Buy was completely sold out of them. I checked their little kiosk as well, and it said every single other nearby Best Buy was also sold out of them.

Fast-forward a few hours, I end up at this Best Buy again with my brother after dinner. Apparently in my absence, more copies of this game magically appeared on the shelves despite the system saying they were sold out. On a Sunday. W. T. F. Weird. Anyways, whatever--I snagged it, haha.

Damn thing is sold out everywhere I went and looked at online. May need to order from a US location.

Amazon had them back in stock Friday afternoon for regular price, now looks like they're out again.

Saw two on the shelf at a Gamestop last week, and the employee said they'd received a notice saying that they won't be getting any more.
