Dear Chet,
Thank you for your article. I saw it online yesterday and immediately went to pre order one. Very much appreciated! However do you know if whether the our orders are guaranteed? As in we definitely will get a copy?
or is it dependent on the number of stock you get and allocated on the first come first serve basis. I say this as i seen most sites maxed out their order and removed D3 CE from new pre orders. However Zavvi seems to be up even in the this time of short supply!
Any insight for this?

I also bought this, you didn’t mention anywhere here that it was spanish, so I hope it’s not, otherwise this is rather misleading. I’ve left you guys a ticket last week so… can only hope this goes well…
