After some were upset that Namco Bandai changed the contents (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/03/dark-souls-collectors-edition-contents-slightly-altered/) of the Dark Souls (http://joystiq.com/game/dark-souls) collector's edition, now it looks like many fans won't be getting the collector's edition at all.
Co-optimus (http://www.co-optimus.com/article/6902/some-dark-souls-limited-edition-preorders-won-t-be-filled.html) reports that online retailer Newegg didn't receive any copies of the collector's edition at all, while it appears that Best Buy's supply isn't enough to satisfy all pre-orders.
To rectify the situation, Newegg will be offering $20 gift cards to all those who pre-ordered the game, while Best Buy will offer $20 cards for anyone who doesn't receive their collector's edition as expected. Kind of a bummer, to be sure, but as Co-optimus points out, twenty bucks is almost enough to buy the full, printed Dark Souls guide, which features more content than the digital mini-guide included with the collector's edition.
The art book, however, can't be replaced, which is unfortunate because there really are some spectacular designs (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/05/dark-souls-director-details-the-monsters-that-will-be-killing-yo/) in the game.
