My Bestbuy order just shipped and used my $20 certificate + $5 Promotional Credit towards SFV = $26.75. Not bad, thanks BB.

 

[Cleve]

Damn, BB take care of you on fuckups like this. I'll take the delay for $20 back.

 

[JJP12]

I was told Best Buy said those emails went out in error and everyone got them. I got the email but my card was charged just an hour or two ago so it should be shipping soon.

Thanks, you were right!

Looks like my order will be arriving Monday and now I have a sweet $20 credit to use for next time. I never doubted you Best Buy! haha

 

[Verelios]

Gamestop put an unwanted GPG warranty charge on my bill, and I, stupidly, just paid without confirming the receipt. Now I'm stuck wondering if $3 is worth going over to GS, calling management to complain or if I should let it go.

Pisses me off either way.

Call and complain, they added something on to your receipt without asking you hoping you wouldn't notice. That's not cool at all.

At least do the survey if you don't want to go back. They take that stuff pretty seriously. Be as detail as possible.

 

[The_Kid]

So if the backorder in their system isn't really in March, does that mean the window Amazon opened for backorders might come out soon?

 

[SDBurton]

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

Absolutely.

Waiting for mine to come in still. There will be hell to pay if my box is fucked up.

 

[PAULINK]

woot woot $20, hasn't shipped but this is gonna go towards senran kagura. Thanks Best Buy.

 

[Miker]

My eBay in store pickup was canceled. The dream is dead

Call and demand they not only take off the $3 but compensate you for the time and hassle of having to call them up.

 

[Jetku]

Probably not a popular plan... But since I now have a 5 month old, my available time is unpredictable.


Didn't realize Best Buy shipments would arrive so late, and I want to play this weekend. Went to Best Buy and they had 1 copy of conquest left (no birthright) so I picked it up with GCU, the $20 promo, and a $5 reward. Total of $8.88.

Since I don't know if I'll ever have time to play the DLC, I will just buy it if/when possible. As for my special edition, now I suppose I'll either keep it sealed, sell it, or if damaged, just return it.

I'll stick with Amazon for my preorders from now on with the exception of in store pick up - Best Buy has never failed me there yet.

 

[NDPsycho]

Got mine in a box, still was dinged on one side

Thanks UPS D:

Mine was pretty banged up in the box too. Not too upset, I was opening it anyway, but I don't ever expect them to get me something undamaged at this point.

 

[Baliis]

$20 is pretty nice, but man what to spend it on? Nothings jumping out at me.

 

[Hyperfludd]

UPS updated, on it's way for tuesday here. GCU+RZ Certs+$20 Credit means I basically got this LE for $30. I don't mind the weekend wait. Nice on Bestbuy for doing that.

 

[ChaoticBlue]

I want to buy this.

Fuck let me buy it man.

 

[LiK]

so the fact that BB is giving away credit for this must mean they won't be restocking this, right?

 

[Marty Chinn]

so the fact that BB is giving away credit for this must mean they won't be restocking this, right?

What? That's irrelevant. They've given credits in the past for delays regardless of the product.

 

[Seiniyta]

So question: If you buy Conquest retail and buy the other two digitally, how many blocks is it then?

 

[Quote]

I was able to buy this instantly though Amazon, digitally. :>

 

[Korigama]

So question: If you buy Conquest retail and buy the other two digitally, how many blocks is it then?

Quoting from the OT:

Birthright Digital Download: 12,467 Blocks
Conquest Digital Download: 12,544 Blocks

Conquest Path as DLC for Birthright: 864 Blocks
Birthright Path as DLC for Conquest: 787 Blocks

This is actually far more SD card friendly than I imagined. I thought it would've been a massive wreck to my card if I didn't get the SE, but it's not much if I just had the card. Fascinating.

No idea regarding Revelation, as that won't be available to download until next month.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Apparently Gamestop just doesn't have my order. The store said it was canceled and they call me multiple times, but I pulled up my phone records and proved them wrong, then I checked online and it said the preorder was ready for pick up, then I sat on the phone with corporate for almost two hours and they also said that it should be there and if it isn't it's on the store to make it right, then I called the store, then they called corporate, and now apparently corporate is going to call me tomorrow with some kind of solution that I'm guessing won't involve getting the game or the $250 I'd need to get it off eBay.

Best part is that is still shows "Ready for pickup"

I'll call up corporate tomorrow then, thanks guys.

Not to sound cliche but it's not even the money. I just found it incredibly rude that they'd add a charge I didn't want to my bill without telling me, and smile to my face.

 

[DeuceGamer]

How many are still waiting for shipping notice from Best Buy? Despite the email I still don't have a shipping notice and it's now 8 o clock.

 

[LizardKing]

Got my $20 gift card and preordered Twilight Princess HD. So after all is said and done with GCU and knocking off money to make up for it (called and they game me a little off), I'm getting 2 games with a value of $140 for $84. Nice.

Sounds like one of the employees got yours, or sold it to someone else.

That's normal for shipping on a regular basis. The stuff doesn't go out until late sometimes.

or the $250 I'd need to get it off eBay.

Damn, that sucks, and holy shit, I had no idea it had gone up in value that much already.

 

[Kitoro]

Got my $20 credit a couple hours ago, but my copy is still in Preparing for Shipping phase. Not out of the woods, yet...

I know it seems safe, but I once had an Aladdin Bluray with the Best Buy Exclusive Slipcover stuck in Preparing for Shipping phase for a week until it was ultimately canceled. :S

 

[Mr_Kuschels]

I'm still waiting. I know there's nothing I can do about it but I keep refreshing the page every couple minutes... It's not like I've got other stuff to do.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

I am. I got the email about the $20 back and the statement that it's shipping today, but their website says they haven't shipped it yet. :/

 

[Zee-Row]

When I started playing this I don't think it gave me the choice between birthright and conquest. How do I know which version I'm playing?

Yea, I'm still not confident in their ability to get me the item or know what's actually going on.

 

[scurker]

I'm still waiting for it to ship as well. You're not alone.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Yea that's what I was thinking, it certainly stacks up that way. Plus one of my really good friends works there and I talk to him almost every night so if they were actually trying to contact me about my preorder being canceled I'm pretty sure I would have heard, I also told him to keep an eye on it after they announced they oversold some preorders and he said mine was fine.

 

[rpmboy]

When I started playing this I don't think it gave me the choice between birthright and conquest. How do I know which version I'm playing?

You don't make a choice until chapter 6.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

When I started playing this I don't think it gave me the choice between birthright and conquest. How do I know which version I'm playing?

Isn't chapter 6 where the stories diverge?

I haven't played yet myself as mine just shipped, but I. The trailer I saw it said play until chapter 6 then chose your story.

 

[Korigama]

When I started playing this I don't think it gave me the choice between birthright and conquest. How do I know which version I'm playing?

The first five chapters are shared between the two. The choice isn't made until the sixth.

EDIT: Beaten.

 

[Zee-Row]

You don't make a choice until chapter 6.

But in the limited edition both versions are in the same cart right? Also where is the code for the 3rd story since its download only?

 

[BuckRobotron]

Props to Best Buy for that $20 coupon. I'll give them another shot in the future for pre-orders after this goodwill gesture.

 

[Zee-Row]

Wait if I'm understanding correctly if I only got the conquest cart by itself there would be no choice? It would just continue that path since that cart is specifically that story?

 

[Korigama]

But in the limited edition both versions are in the same cart right? Also where is the code for the 3rd story since its download only?

The third path (Revelation) is download-only for the regular versions. Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation are all already on the cart with the SE.

Ah cool! I understand now.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

So mine shipped AND I get $20?

This is a good result.

 

[foladar]

There's an option, but it doesn't let you choose the other path.

 

[robotrock]

Amazon shipped mine in a bubble mailer

Nah, man, totally. Some things need to be said.

[rpmboy]

1. Yes.
2. Revelations is on the cart. That's the main point of the SE.

EDIT: beaten

 

[Lumination]

On ch3. Felicia definitely sounds off and Gunter's "hurt" grunt is so bad it's good territory. Aside from those two, the VA has been fine so far.

 

[MikeE21286]

Picked up my Best Buy pre order. Feels so good
