I apologize if this has been addressed and/or answered elsewhere, but...anyone know why Predator 2 seems hard to come by? Where I live (Sacramento area), I've been to a few BB and CC and have yet to find a single copy, let alone even a placeholder for it. Is it on back-order in certain areas?

 

[David Lambert]

Tony, the answer is as simple as this: as with other catalog titles, the retailers don't want to pay extra frieght charges to have these "slower" (to them) titles overnight-air shipped in. They pay the slower ground freight, and hence usually have it by the weekend...or even a few weeks later.

DDD has SWEET HOME ALABAMA for $14.89, no tax, no shipping, if you don't mind waiting.

sounds logical, but why is my predator 2 still on backorder at bestbuy.com?

Same reason, probably. The copies of P2 are likely on a slow boat from the manufacturer or studio to the fulfillment warehouse.

Yep.

Not only that, it's not even available for in-store pickup. Now, why is it that some titles are like that, especially in P2's case? Is that a foreboding that BB won't even bother stocking P2 in-store for a very long time?:frowning:
