Really hope that MVP edition gets restocked on Amazon.

Damn it, I really wanted to order the MVP edition from Amazon to take advantage of the Prime savings and to use a gift card that I was saving specifically for this game. For some reason Amazon seems to drop the ball a lot when it comes to The Show (at least in my case). For the last 2 years I pre-ordered the game this way and chose "release date delivery" only to find out on release day that it was sent out late and I didn't get my copy until the end of the week. Mind you that over the past several years I've ordered dozens of other games this way from Amazon and other than one other instance, it's always worked like a charm. This makes perfect sense since MLB-The Show is the one game I care most about getting on release day, so logically it's the only one they screw up every year. This is the first time that I couldn't even place the order though. Hopefully they straighten it out soon or I guess it's off to GameStop instead (physical copy is a MUST for me).

I hear ya man. I've been waiting for the MVP edition to pop back up on Amazon for about 3 weeks. Wanted to take advantage of the AmazonPrime deal. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen unfortunately. I think a trip to my local GameStop will be happening in a few days. Can't miss out on release day!

FWIW, I checked my Amazon purchases today, and it's telling me that the game is shipping this Friday, so with Prime 2-Day shipping, chance some of us may get it Monday.

I did the Prime free trial thing because of this thread. Excited for next week.

Actually, if it ships Friday some could get it on Sunday since the USPS delivers Prime packages on Sundays.

I have been using prime to purchase video games and dvds/blu rays for about seven years now and I have only even received one thing early and it was only by a day. I wouldn't mind this slipping into my hands Saturday or Monday, but realistically it'll be at my home around noon on 3/28.

I hope some of you folks get it early but I would not hold your breath. Amazon is very good at knowing how long it takes packages to get anywhere and ships accordingly.
