That's why I had to use Google Cache to grab it. You most likely read it on the UK site which, like I said, is a copy/paste from the US site where the products are different (they don't have the 'E' restrictions). We'll find out on release day, but as you said, you can flog it (or 'borrow' someone else's legit CD/key).

No, it was the US site I read it on

It said 'United States' at the top of the page

Nah, there will be more. 150 won't be the entire stock at eBuyer. They're probably doing a controlled release so everyone gets a chance. There will also be copies to pre-order in retail stores apparently.

Not surprised the pre-order thread went. Everyone seemed to be trading pricing and/or email addresses for hints - both of which are clear violations of the rules.

They could prune it, but it'd have to be locked thereafter as that problem is going to be unavoidable.

Would be good as I wouldn't mind a pro copy

What do you mean play took your order? on the website or a 2nd confirmation email?

Mark · 15-07-2009, 00:56

There's still 201 pro copies available. Risking the pre-order payment thing so you takes your chance. Go.

Ordered it from play.com. I take it there's no chance of having this on both my desktop and laptop without buying 2 copies?

Glaucus · 15-07-2009, 00:58
