I guess that would be the case. They should really, really consider looking into preorders, though. It never scares the video game market about getting profit.

Logistically, it can make sense to do pre-orders for some games, particularly ones with multi-player components, as then the game has a strong player base from the very beginning that makes it worthwhile to play. Also, while some people want the physical goodies, many many players are satisfied with just the activation keys. These keys are very easy to create, distribute, and sell. It should be noted that some publishers use the pre-orders to further finance the game development before release. 

Naked 3 doesn't need a pre-order for hype building - UD and their Naked line are very well known. I believe the stores will be far more concerned about trying to keep it in stock (especially as a holiday-time release) than about finding buyers. Also, at this point, it is likely that stores do not know how many they are going to get, or know that they will be receiving a very limited quantity with uncertainty regarding re-shipments.

I wonder how this palette will work with my red hair/freckles. I am light but not too fair ,very neutral in that I don't tend to be warm or cool. Any ideas??

Good points. But I wonder why urbandecay.com wouldn't take pre-orders? I guess they don't want to keep the other retailers from getting orders?

I'm getting really excited for this palette! I love rose gold! I made a little set on polyvore in celebration of this palette!



jlgansen- I think the palette could look really lovely with your red hair. I am thinking you might use the browner end of the palette, but I'm not really great at choosing colors, and I don't know what you really look like, that's just my initial thought! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

At first I was kinda meh about this, but after reading some blog posts I think next year I'm going to get it. I am already buying N2 and Lorac Pro this year with my birthday money (on Black Friday I'm getting them...) so N3 will have to wait. I think I'm start to have an addiction to HE makeup too...:icon_eek:

I have already put aside some money for this pallete lol just in case something else comes up, I want to be sure I can get this palette

 

[jlgansen]

eastofthesun - thanks!  I am also obsessing over rose gold and LOVE that look you created!!  I would probably use more of the browner shades but since I always go for neutral brown, I think the mauve-y shades will help me experiment outside my comfort zone.  I can't wait!!

I can't tell you guys how jealous I'am to see this on instagram. They're doing a sort of treasure hunt in each city and the prize is this! So if you got the time, you should check it out! The release must be coming soon...and @eastofthesun rose gold is one of my absolute favorites, can't wait for this release!

For someone who

I'm in the minority but I'm not feeling this palette. Half of the colors are too light for me. Also considering that my Naked 2 palette has been used only once in the last six months I can't justify buying this.

for someone who hardly wears eyeshaddow would you recommend buying it

The problem is they are only doing the giveaway in 3 cities. So, this giveaway is useless to everyone else.

If only I was still in Texas, I could have went to the Austin one! Sadly no one ever does anything for Iowa.

Whoa, can I just say that the packaging of that treasure hunt gift is to die for? It's so cute. I love how they took the palette theme and put the three palettes in a box like they are the eye shadows. It's like a humongous naked palette!

Who knows, maybe they'll possibly be selling a set like the online? I don't think I'd shell out the $ for it, but it could happen. I am pretty sure the first two palettes won't go well with my skin shade, so I'm just in it for N3. But still, really freaking cute packaging!!!!! Lucky ducks!

Blah really disappointed there's nothing in DC! Edit: No idea why it created that huge space, and won't let me edit it.

 

[hotpinkluv]

I cant wait till this pallet comes out. I just hope it wont sale out before Ican get my hands on it.

I wish I could take advantage of living in NYC for that Naked challenge, but it really sucks. The rules say 18 or older. I'm only 17 Dx

Just a thought, but it really bugs me when new palettes come out and the only bloggers that are given the chance to review are lighter-skinned. I'm not knocking on the bloggers who have reviewed Naked 3, because I follow quite a few of them and greatly admire them. But as a darker skinned woman, I have no idea how these shades will look on my skin and I never know until I purchase. I love Urban Decay, especially the Naked line, but I wish they would open this up to a wider variety of bloggers.
