Well, at least my Gamestop order didn't get cancelled or anything.

Twiddling my thumbs until Tuesday though.

Arg. Why are people with the same shipping getting this earlier than me? It's a smidgen infuriating.

 

[Weevilone]

That's some BS if true...I've had mine preordered since November and amazon cs told me they fulfil the oldest orders first.

They were up while most of us were sleeping last night, so there's that at least. I think it was a 20-30 minute window.

 

[wiibomb]

The SE went up at Amazon again today during the day? Man I've trolled this thread all day and missed that. Ugh..

Edit: Just realized I didn't get any nowinstock.net notifications from the Amazon stuff either time.

it went up veeeery early in the morning, like 1am or 2am PST, so it was really difficult to know in any case.

you didn't get the notification because the sneaky amazon made a different listing to put the rest of the preorders. Not even in the wish list it could be seen since it was a "different item"

 

[Chance Hale]

I chose a bad night to party, sigh. Oh well. Bought Conquest for now

You get these keychains if you preordered them from Gamestop. Funny thing I learn about these keychains, when you scanned the barcode on them in the stores computer, it goes for $1000. I guess Gamestop don't want any shenanigans happening with their employees for these keychains.

They can zero it out for you.

You are supposed to only get them if you preordered both versions of the game or the SE.

 

[Fjordson]

Now, the only reason I got Conquest was because Amazon delayed my Birthright copy. Right when I got home the SE went up on Amazon. I naturally ordered it right away after attempting to get a copy for months. Amazon charged right away and its getting ready to ship today. Then my Birthright copy was shipped...

Wait. Hol' up...

You ordered the SE on Amazon today? And it's getting ready to ship today??

While my pre-order from November is delayed without any sort of timetable...??

 

[georly]

Yay it shipped. Guess I'll get it by tuesday.

I'll just pretend the game comes out on tuesday.

And that everyone else on gaf just got review copies.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

It says shipped! Fuck yes!

it's not a new issue, amazon and (most of the) other retailers have these inconsistency problems. on Amazon happened on quite some times, I still remember the struggle on the Virtue's Last Reward Collector's

though, it is said the chances of this happening are less with prime

It's in this thread.

Well it's still saying preparing to ship for me...

Yea, for me too. I'm still not confident and won't be until I have it in my hand. I ordered mine before the thread was even posted on here and I still don't have a shipping notice.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I received my SE from Amazon today with no issues.

Are those who haven't gotten theirs yet not Prime members? I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Kind of crappy if it does.

Doesn't seem like it, I have Prime.

Just boggles my mind that they re-opened orders. And are shipping them! Like goddamn.

 

[Balmung421]

Got my amazon package of my SE. They mailed it in a damn bubble envelope so the box was destroyed, but thankfully the contents inside the box (artbook, gamecase, cloth pouch) ended up in pristine condition.

Love love love that cloth pouch for my 3ds

You gotta repopen for the few people who cancelled orders. Most likely these people secured it somewhere else like BB, and cancel Amazon, and even vice versa, which is why it was on Bestbuys ebay for a little while.

 

[Splash Wave]

Mine arrived with dinged up corners. Is it worth calling Amazon for some kind of compensation?

did you try contacting amazon about the issue? this was the listing they made today

use it to complain to amazon

 

[Fjordson]

But if they're seemingly unable to fullfill pre-orders, why would they re-open orders? After it had been sold out on the site for months? Wouldn't they be like "uh oh, we fucked up" and just put any stock from cancellations towards fulfilling the orders they've already received?

If you're not happy with it, absolutely.

 

[Cilla]

Australia. Sigh. Wonder when it will release here. I need to escape this dashboard melting weather.

 

[SuperCambot]

You da' bomb, Best Buy. GCU!

 

[Weevilone]

I was thinking about moving a couple NISA SE preorders to Amazon for the discount, but after thinking about the possibility of bubble mailers and boxes with no padding, I'll just pay more.

NISA special editions are ONLY sold by NISA's store most of the time.

 

[Japanmanx3]

BB shipped mine today. Didn't do the change shipping method or anything. Ordered when announced.

 

[NDPsycho]

I was fearing the bubble mailer, but my Amazon order came in a box this time. Now to wait until I'm home to open it and see if it mattered...

Shipped and got a coupon for 20 dollars.

I didn't even change address or email, so some angry people doing the Lord's work I guess.

 

[Farsi]

I don't even need the special edition anymore. It's cheaper to get the games separately

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

Best Buy shipped my order!

No idea when it'll be delivered though.

Spoiler

I can't talk much when I myself am a 3DS console hoarder lol

[MildSoss]

Is that 20 dollar credit towards anything physical or just pretty much digital games?
