Yep, got a couple of emails today stating that my orders have been canceled as they cannot get hold of the titles 

Sent an email back asking why they were still for sale on their site and that I did not want my order canceled but I can't see it doing any good.

Oh well, worth a try

I appreciate the disappointment caused by the cancellation of this order.  This was a great bargain which led to an extraordinary demand.  Regrettably, this demand exhausted all stock very quickly and has resulted in us being unable to fulfill your order.

These sales and promotions are launched with a significant stock holding at the discounted price and are offered on a strictly first come, first served basis.  However, once all discounted stock has been allocated to customer orders, normal pricing resumes and excess orders are cancelled.

We had managed to procure stock at a discounted rate from our suppliers and as always, we passed on the discount to our valued customers.

One of the appeals of CDWOW is the many fantastic deals we make available to our customers, across our domains.  Accordingly, some promotions exceed expectations very quickly – so much so that our sites may be unable to update our stock holding (or absence thereof) quickly enough to identify shortages.

We do acknowledge that customers are increasingly agitated at missing out on a great deal, though we also seek and encourage customers to appreciate that we operate on limited (albeit substantial) stocks for these promotions.
