When the Gran Turismo 5 Collector’s Edition was first announced, Sony said “quantities will be limited”, but they didn’t go into details. It looks like they weren’t kidding, though, as two of arguably the most popular US gaming retailers- Amazon and GameStop – have both stopped taking pre-orders for this version of the game.

Customers who already reserved their CE copies have not been contacted about any problems or changes with their order, but both retailers have taken down their respective product listings (old links here and here are non-functioning or direct you to the standard version). Amazon and GameStop have been the most aggressive promoters of GT5, with GameStop securing exclusive content for the game and Amazon offering release-date delivery, attracting the most links, attention, and presumably orders.

If you’re in the US and you know you want the Collector’s Edition, all hope is not lost: it’s still available at the following locations – for now…

• Best Buy ($99.99) – Pre-order online and select release-day in-store pickup, so you don’t have to wait for delivery – this is actually where I’m holding my own pre-order.
• Buy.com ($96.99) – Free shipping.
• Barnes & Noble ($99.99)

wow. if only gt5 wasnt delayed.

i paid for the signature edition i dont think that came out in the Us, so are the 3 different euro limited editions

still available for US customers who missed out  to import.

If only there were a way to carry your reservation over to the delayed date... oh wait.

Lies!11!1 Sony obviously undershipped!

I wonder how many they're making. Thankfully mine's paid for already. Now if only I could find a good deal on a quality wheel.

Supposedly it is a limited supply, so this shouldn't be taken as "GT5 preorders = gangbuster sales in US".

Lol What are you doing Euphoria?

GT5 is t4h doomedz!

Sony obviously stuffed the chann3lz and now it's stuck ...

but teh wii iz da doom
