surprisingly it only seems to be BIN's of $60 but and their are a few bids that are going for around $40-50 currently

It's a shame... I went over there when there was still some in stock, and I considered picking one up, but I knew it'd be either:
1) buy it and sell it to someone on VGC
2) buy it and have it sitting on the shelf for the sake of the collection (because I don't have any interest in playing it)
3) don't buy it and hope that another collector (who actually wants to play the game) will be able to get that copy
4) don't buy it and give a scalper another item to profit off of

Hopefully you're able to snag one at some point for a reasonable price.  Saturday Morning RPG on Vita was going for $35-40 for a little bit ago, so maybe the prices will settle down.

Its not like a Gamestop "Limited Run" game which goes on pre-order for months and then they release a million copies, these are truly limited run games. I adore their business style and honestly wish I was closer to them on the map, Id work for them!

Forgot to respond to this.  ;)

I don't think the business practices of the two are very comparable. My usual go to is how Gaijinworks/Monkey Paw does their pre-sells/pre-orders. I'm beating a dead horse at this point in stating that it's far more desirable to be able to buy into a limited edition run if I so choose rather than try in the vain hope that I beat out the feeding frenzy by being awake/available at just the right time of day and hoping I have the funds available to make the purchase. To date, I've not been able to make any of the releases because I work 2nd shift and I'm either asleep or at work when the games go live.  :-\

you can always do what I do. set an alarm for 2-3 minutes before the second release and go to the bathroom so I can grab it.

They'll be doing another flash sale of the remaining Oddworld and Futuridium items soon (from cancellations, etc), so let me know if you'd like me to try to pick something up for you.  Not sure what the limit will be, but I didn't buy any Futuridiums earlier this week.

Depending on what they're offering, I'll try to snag a copy or two for VGC folks.

They had teased that they might make them, so they announced yesterday that they'd be selling them alongside the remaining game copies today :)
