Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition Sold Out on Amazon? [Updated]

Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition Sold Out on Amazon? [Updated]
I've had this pre-ordered for quite a while, but when I logged on to Amazon just now to pre-order Splinter Cell: Convction ($43 for PC/$52 for X360), the search results included the Collector's Edition of Mass Effect 2. Listed for $200. When I checked clicked through to the product page, it seems that Amazon isn't selling it direct (at least not at the moment) and is only available from a single Marketplace seller, charging that insane price.

Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition Sold Out on Amazon? [Updated]

I noticed this same thing sometime in the last week or two, but it reversed itself within a day or so, and I didn't think anything else of it. Now I've seen the same thing, except all of the marketplace sellers (aside from the one) have gotten people to buy theirs. Normally there are at least a few listings.

Could Bioware/EA have actually underestimated the demand for the game? Did Amazon not order enough units? So many questions, so few answers...

Update: Looks like things have already been fixed on Amazon. Guess I should have waited a little longer to post this one.
