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 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.

I don't think it will change either, but limiting it to one would technically help, even if only a little bit.
Overall, I'm happy with the service they are providing. My anger for this particular round was aimed at my internet provider (by the way, they had to come out and replace the line running to my house :-X). It sucks that I couldn't even get internet through my cell phone at that time. Just crappy timing that day.

That really blows. I've missed a LOT of the LR games because it's just really tough to schedule my life around it. Fridays are nuts at the shop, and despite what everyone seems to think, it's not always that easy for "the boss" to just drop what he/she is doing to buy video games, not to mention remember. I always set an alarm on my phone, but if I'm in the middle of something, then the likelihood of me getting to my computer in time or even being able to make the purchase on my phone (which is usually at my desk anyway, which I am usually nowhere near at 10am) is slim :-\

I got Wonder Boy this morning. It sure is easier to order when you have a working internet connection. :P
TDIRunner:
And Wonder Boy is sold out already.

I was in 2 minds whether to go for it today, especially as my copy of wonderboy arrived from play asia this morning - but I went for it. Collectors edition of Wonderboy, and lawbreakers standard edition.
Now I'm even more annoyed at missing out on last weeks though. lol
