It's not even mentioned at Gamestop anymore. It's still listed on my order history, albeit as "Backordered", although I've been told others weren't so lucky (for the record, I pre-ordered on the 16th of April, before the artbook was even announced).
So anyone know what's going on?
I actually pre-ordered online before the artbook was announced (I don't trust Mississippi's Gamestops when it comes to Aksys games), and the artbook isn't that big of a deal for me. I was just wondering what was going on.
It's back up on the site again. Apparently they just got another shipment of artbooks.

...after shipping and "handling fees" I feel as if we're really just buying the book...that said, still worth it!

You think the art book is online only because of "suggestive themes"?
I will only accept that as a legitamate reason if the artbook features some of the art featured in the pre-order phone cards that Japan is getting.
I won't post it here, but while not outright porn, it features things like naked Taokaka and Litchi spooning in a bath and Rachel in some very suggestive poses.

Then again I've made my decision. It is useless to get an artbook for blazblue anyway,I would have considered it more but I would rather go out my way for GG instead.
The artbook to me would just be a waste of time for me to get anyway,because all it shows is more or different pics of blazblue and its characters. I also have no volition in buying something to know how the characters are drawn or have been brought up in design,which as an artist is dumb to me anyway cause I hate drawing other peoples creations.
I like GG art better cause their close in pictures look more realistic.and most of the characters pics too.someone will probably post the BB pics online in scans anyway thinking"ooh look at me,I'm the first one who posted the BB esclusuve artbook online".I'd be willing to pay more money for the artbook,but as long as its online forget it.

I think you might be over thinking it a bit. All it really is is a neat collector's item if anything...with scantily clad women in it.

I'm overthinking it?huh not to be a -your mother is a classy lady- but isn't that what most people are doing,I don't care about a book that has too many alternatives(like someone scanninig it,someone selling it on e-bay seperatley).No offense the artbook is fine.But for something with this poor of a marketing scheme,honey I wouldn't even want to. Yeah so it has almost naked women in or so else some other things like exclusive pics or whatnot.But again as an artist I don't care about whats in it,I don't even care about it cause its not my work so therefore it for me is a hopeless item for me cause they are not my characters
Again I would be happy to pay more in-store for the artbook,but if gamestop is going to be stubborn like that,so what if I got it in 5 days later,infact I don't care if it were 1 day to wait,I'm not getting it.People overating how good a character looks cause of the design,is dumb and pointless and actually if thats all your getting is pictures and stuff then I'll ignore it sooner or later and it will just gather dust.DMC4 artbook release was much better than this -your mother is a classy lady-. I wonder why more people gawk over noel but there wasn't that much gawking over GG's I-no.guess cuz she wans't blond,LOL

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! well well that was cool Trevok. Come on solshido have some fun for once. Besides the forums are free for anyones words. Even Hitler LOL.
My comments to Trevok. (still laughing.)
Sry the artbook is not for me and LuciferD666 (since we're siblings). Not that I'm not a fan but Blazblue's marketing turned into a classy lady on it's first release.
Funny how PROTOTYPE get's it's extra content (and it's M-rated).
their solshido is that on topic for ya.
.......still laughing.

because prototype is something U.S, had worked on,and its mainly an american game,so gamestop dosen't care about some HD2D anime type game,they care about shooters and destructive games.And yeah they'll kinda try when when its a shounen jump/viz media anime game cuz its insured that fans will buy it,or if its a game that(if not good reception of the 1st game)has a sequal or many sequels to it.
thats the type of retailers gamestop is.
