I agree. Screw "prospectors" right in the A. If you're REALLY that determined to get rid of an LE, just sell it soon as you get it. You may eat the price of the shipping, but that's nobody else's fault. I see the procedure as a "disincentive" to doing transfers prior to reciept of the preordered game, because you're potentially screwing someone who may be on a wait list to get in on an LE.
