Lots o'people are whining about the re-orders, saying it broke an
unspoken contract with fans who thought they were buying a limited
edition, available only November 3 - November 10. Well, with it
selling out, what about students, or whoever, who get paid on Fridays
(such as Nov. 6) and were going to go out and get a copy with that
money? They get to the store - and BOOM CHA! <g> - there are no
copies left -- EVEN THOUGH it was supposed to be available through
November 10. I didn't see any posters or press that said "Available
only while supplies last."

So think of the re-ordering as a "raincheck" - or the fulfilling of a
promise to people who thought they could get it through November 10
and came up empty days before that date.
Cheers.
