$100? That's insane....but I'm not really surprised.

My art cell is towards the end....like 46 or 47000 something.

That's pretty quick to reach $100, it's still available. I'd get another to keep sealed but $60 was too much to pay once, never mind twice.

I wonder if it is all Canadians buying these, since I do not believe we have any offer like this up here, I could be wrong though...

I havent got a chance to play yet, but I picked mine up today and am excited to get started. My Gamestop still had 3 left, 2 sealed and the one they opened for the display on the shelf. I may have considered buying more if I had known the value. I dont think I'll make a run for another copy. I'll let someone else have and enjoy it. It's not exactly a quick drive and for all I know its sold out already. My cel is 24671 out of 4800.

Are all of these cels the same picture, or are there more pictures to get a complete set? I asked this once before with the Robin Hood Cels, but I dont think that game was popular enough for anyone to care. These however may be different.

im guessing these are rare, because maybe some people do not have gamestops near by? i have a feeling that these suckers are going to be very rare, but $60 a pop is pretty expensive.

01-13-2005, 12:45 AM
Yeah I have a feeling they are going to be hard to find as well, since only 48000 were made :-P

That's not really that bad considering the normal retail version is $50.

48000 seems like a lot, but how many RE4s do you think will be made/sold? It's got great word-of-mouth, it's a big franchise sequel, and it's the best thing to hit the Gamecube in....uhhh, ever. So in proportion to the vanilla version, there aren't that many of them out there. It's the best collector's item at retail since Panzer Dragoon Saga, in my book (although you could argue for Lunar:TSSS)

EndlessChris
01-13-2005, 08:13 PM
If we divide the number of copies of the limited edition available (48,000) by the number of Gamestop locations worldwide (1,746) we get 27 copies of the collector's edition for each store.

Of course this doesn't factor online orders, so it's completely irrelevant.

I had a huge surprise today when I went to buy RE4 today...I saw the regular version so I asked for it, then being a regular at the Babbages the sales clerk said "man don't you know you already got the special edition on reserve and it's paid in full" and I was like what...when did I do that and he said "about 4 months" and I was like sweet.

So instead of just getting RE4 and Tork....I went ahead and picked up Mercenedes also for Xbox :D

Man I'm I luckly :P :evil:

Well, Self, do you want a copy of Dangerous Seed for the Mega Drive, or Resident Evil 4?

*makes little hand puppet*

Self: wrr you want Dangerous Seed Ed! Save your money and stuff.

Okay, self. whatever you say.

The Gamestop where I live at (Woodbridge VA) still has three copies of this game for any collectors in this area. Also the Gamestop in Manassas and Springfield VA have one copy left as of 4:31 EST. I hope this help anybody out in the Nothern Virginia area.

Manassas.

I'm sorry, it's terribly off topic. But when a friend of mine recently went down to Florida with his parents, they stopped at a rest station and his brother picked up a brochure for Manassas and said "Hey mom, wanna got to Man Asses?" When I heard that story I laughed for a good ten minutes. Also I apologize if I offended anyone who lives in Manassas.

Um... it was a GameStop exclusive. Unless of course they've already taken in used copies, which I guess is possible, if not probable.
