Subject: ODST Pre-order problem (SOLVED)

Edit: It appears the problem is solved. This site lists the Collector's Edition as a exclusive to GameStop. Thanks for the help.



So, I was at Best Buy today, trying to pre-order Halo 3: ODST. As mentioned here, Best Buy offers the Sgt. Johnson pre-order bonus.

Best Buy has plenty of the regular Halo 3: ODST pre-order copies (with Sgt. Johnson), but they had no copies of the Collector's Edition pre-order. An employee checked the computer network and found none in stock. This Best Buy was in Michigan, US.

Link to website product listing: Linky

Has anyone been able to pre-order the Collector's Edition (with Johnson) at Gamestop, Amazon, or Wal-Mart? Or is the Collector's Edition not open for pre-order until a set date? I could really use some help here.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I had no issues pre-ordering my collector's edition at GameStop. The problem is that particular Best Buy is simply out of collector's edition pre-orders.

I would have thought that, but Best Buy's computer system simply has no evidence of the collector's edition even existing. Normally it would show the product and say "out of stock".

I guess it's time for some store-to-store research.

It's probably because the "limited edition" is exclusive to Gamestop. And there isn't anything extra like an extra dvd, its the exact same game and box packaged with a sweet controller.
