Originally posted by DeaconX Originally posted by TemperHoof Sold out for me too. Wow, I have to admit that is impressive. Feels like I'm going to see a movie tomorrow and all of the seats will be full. While I'm sure it's for technical reasons a la 'servers can only handle so much safely right now while offering a quality experience so lets not let TOO many people get the game, get in and BOOM', it's also classic marketing to create the supply/demand, withhold a bit and demand goes up heh. Oh, I'm sure it will help hype it. Nothing helps sales, better than a product you can't have it atm, lol.

In fact I want 2 more just to have on my shelf Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Well.. it's not like they didn't warn us about this last week. I believe the words were "If you want in on the pre-purchases, don't wait". You can still pre-order the game, and they may re-open pre-purchases at a later date, time will tell.

Originally posted by Tayah They'll have more available, they are just limiting it for now. Ya can't really run out of digital copies. Probably wanna go with what they have atm for the weekend and not fully overload themselves. this and also if you bought it now you may not have time to download it in time and it might cause unneeded lag on their system and confusion with ppl trying to get into the BWE last minute. My guess is they will reopen sales after the weekend.

While I don't expect them to give out a number (yet) - the 'getting started' post of the forums (initial download link) has been viewed 196 743 times. So it's a good number of people.

Heh yea this could be a good or bad thing, if its like an I-max theater with 1000 seats its good, a community theater with 50 seats its not so good...

Originally posted by firefly2003 I may be on the side of error here but how can you sell out of a product that's a digital copy? Very easily. You determine the maximum acceptable load on the servers you have available. Once you reach that point, you have 'sold out'.
