Limited Run Games selling out in seconds of Night Trap Stock!
Limited Run Games released the limited edition remastered Night Trap FMV for the PS4 and PC. The release was highly anticipated, with many fans eager to get their hands on the cult classic 25 years after it launched on the Sega CD. While Limited Run Games sells out of virtually everything they put on their website, Night Trap had more hype around the game and its accessories than most. To readily prepare for the onslaught of dedicated fans that want anything everything that says "Night Trap" on it, Limited Run Games provided a solution, the Mega Bundle. The Mega Bundle included everything Night Trap related, including a Night Trap T-Shirt and The Bunker, an FMV psychological horror adventure for the PS4. Specifically the bundle included:
Limited Run #74: Night Trap (PS4)
Limited Run #74: Night Trap Collector's Edition (PS4)
Limited Run #67: The Bunker (PS4)
Night Trap 25th Anniversary Edition (PC)
Night Trap 25 Years Later Blu-ray
Night Trap Blood Red 7" Vinyl
Night Trap Limited Run T-Shirt (Size XL)*
Seven (7) Limited Run Trading Cards**
Two (2) PS4 Protective Cases
While the bundle was a good idea, it stopped many fans from getting anything at all, let me explain. While there was only 125 bundles of everything available, there were thousands of games and collectors editions available at both time slots. Because people were either greedy (which is their own fault), or didn't read the description, they missed out on getting at least the game. While I can't fault Limited Run Games for this, it sucks knowing people had a chance and squandered it. Aside from the Mega Bundle fiasco, many fans were so unhappy with Limited Run Games that Limited Run stepped away from their twitter few a few hours to let everyone cool down. While I went for the Mega Bundle during the first launch, I knew the risk in doing so, others didn't. I was about 30 seconds late during the initial launch and had to wait for the 6 pm drop to snag my Mega Edition. I was a happy customer because I was able to get my bundle, but I know many others weren't. This was for sure one of the more hectic releases Limited Run Games has been through but I can only hope the future brings more fantastic titles and good things to come.
Let me know what what you scored, if you scored, or how you think the release went overall. I would love to hear your thoughts!
