With Destiny coming up out now in less then a month, two major retailers have notified a in specified amount of customers that the their special edition of Destiny was canceled due to over pre ordering of that edition. First with Walmart and the Ghost Edition, now Beat Buy with Limited, I'm really disappointed to see that that a group of fans and players WILL NOT get the Edition that they pre ordered. But who is to blame? Most would think the retailer who took the pre orders, thinking that there would be an abundance of copies of each Edition, when this was not the case. However, to put the blame strictly on the retailers isn't true my fair considering there has to be some communication issue between Activision and the retailers themselves. With this set aside I want to hear the communities reaction! I wanna hear from anyone who has possibly gotten their pre-ordered canceled, or maybe couldn't pick one up due to the lack of pre-orders. Or if your an outraged or concerned fan of the series or Bungie on the subject and matter.

I say GOOD!!!! The word Limited gets thrown around far too much with games these days. It usually translates to 'extra content' rather than genuinely 'limited' It's the retailers faults as much as the game companies. The retailers were told 'you have X amount of this allocated to you' but the retailers came back with 'you gave us X, we've sold Y, can we get Z more?' Obviously the answer was No. But then again would this have happened if the phrase Limited Edition wasn't just a sticker on every game out there? Personally I've never seen a copy of Perfect Dark Zero that WASNT in the 'limited edition' steel-book case. I say Kudos to Bungie, stick to your guns. Even if that means I can't get a Ghost Edition!!!
