Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Pre-orders Were High
Pre-orders for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix were high, with at least one store having no stock for customers who hadn’t already bought the title ahead of release.
The release of the pack – which contains Kingdom Hearts 2, Birth by Sleep and a video version of Re:Coded – has been a long awaited addition to the PlayStation 3 catalogue, with fans waiting over a year to complete the collection.
Released today in the UK, it has been a popular purchase, with at least one major store running out of copies for people who haven’t pre-ordered.
The GAME store in Wolverhampton couldn’t sell copies to customers, because too many people had pre-ordered.
@Nikstormtrooper sorry we could not fulfill your order it was a highly pre ordered title, if you reserve a copy we can guarantee a sale

Although it may have been a highly pre-ordered game, it’s far too early to make a guess at sales figures. A remastered HD collection is likely to have far fewer copies per store than the latest Call of Duty. So while we can’t say it’s a hugely popular release, it’s fair to judge that it will at least be successful.
Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix is available to purchase now.
