I'm still rolling strong on these and haven't missed one yet.  Although if LawBreakers ends up being part of the numbered collection, that will be my first one I'm skipping.  Not really interested in it and I don't really see the point if its an online only multiplayer game.

Damn, this is the first one I'm interested in since Firewatch. I need to pay more attention to these releases. Maybe I can catch it this evening as well.

Well, both land line and cellular internet were down in my area during the evening sale, so I missed out on both games.  :(  I guess it wasn't meant to be this week.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I was working and by the time I got to a computer they were all gone. It's super disappointing how hard it is to get these when you have a busy schedule. The only releases that don't sell out immediately are the ones I have no interest in getting.  >:( Oh well, I'll just have to buy digital and back it up on an HDD.

Really pissed off.  Something was screwed with their systems, and I couldn't put anything in the basket using explorer - by the time I logged in to chrome and tried, 3 were out of stock.  Thought I'd try this evening, but didn't get home until 1am here, 1 hour after live time, and all sold out.  I guess I'm out now.  Won't bother to collect them if I don't have the full set, and not going to pay scalpers prices.  Already on eBay at 70 euros each!  :o They need to recognize the collectors and prioritize over scalpers.

I got everything. I don't mind parting with the vita stuff in a trade or something.

No way at all to stop it.  But a loyalty program or subscription would be nice.

Count me interested.

What would you be looking for in return?

I managed to get all of them this time around.  I figure I'll just try and get every game from now on. Even if I don't particularly want, I know plenty of purple who will and I'd rather someone I know get the games than anyone else.

One per customer at all times would help at least a little bit.  I know that there are some situations where a person could genuinely need two at a time, but that's a slim number compared to the number who buy to flip.

I live in the US. I think the cost of Shipping and handling to Europe would kill the value of a trade. I not sure. I rarely ship or buy from Europe.

I can't see limiting it to one per customer doing anything to thwart scalpers.

Plus, it's really not their problem. They've already been nice enough to add a limit of 2, which is more than pretty much every other retailer.
