I would like to have this topic since there is so much "limited edition" shit out there that seems to be made just for these fucking resellers.
A good example is the Namcos 5000 copies of Ni No Kuni WE that is not even limited edition at $99 a copy BUT it sold BEFORE it even got out for over $450 on ebay
Now that is just fucked up. The video game companies are smart now and they see that they can profit even more from shit then the actual game!
Just check out how much shit you can get from the Mass Effect series. And now the Dead Space 3.
On EA Gear page you can check how much shit there is to buy!
Here is a good example for this limited edition ugly fucking piece of shit that after some time will be on ebay for shit load of money.
Since it's limited to 500 then you know it will show up on ebay for a million dollars
