In store is the way to go... EB don't have Lockon listed on their site either

I always go in store, but I only go there as a last resort or just to have sticky nose as to what they're charging compared to other stores/sources.

And this is where the story gets interesting.... I tried to pre-order the Collectors Edition through EB Games by calling them and paying with a credit card.
Unfortunately they are unable to do that.
So, I then had to drive 150km to the nearest EB store to pre-order in person.
As Ubisoft has stated there will be a limited number of copies coming from the US, even if you have pre-paid the full amount, it is a case of first ordered, first served. In other words, even after all that and paying upfront I may still not get a Collectors Edition if not enough are bought in to fill orders.

And so the saga continues....

Bloody hell 150kms, you are keen on this game. If anyone deserves a CE its you mate.

Cheers drewpee, are you offering your copy if they run out?

Just one quick question, do the people responsible for the marketing of Cliffs think that they are doing a good job? (especially with the distribution of hard copy of the game)

I honestly couldnt answer that as I don't work with the people who make those decisions. All I do know (as a result of asking) is the decision was based on demand in each region, I suspect based on past titles

Maybe Ubi might change their mind.
