Ni No Kuni Collector's Edition for EU/NA [failure level well beyond critical mass]
- Thread starter rockman zx
- Start date
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't figure out the trick to getting the UPS tracking number, and I trust UPS to be generally more competent about this stuff than DR is.
... Actually, yeah, if it weren't for MyChoice I wouldn't have realized they shipped my Microsoft Store order back in November in two packages, they only ever mentioned one. Assuming they used Digital River there, but if they did for the Surface RT they must have for the games.

Still haven't an update for myself. Just the UPS shipping label for 2day shipping. People from the 17th are getting their emails... that bums me out.
When i visit my account is 120$ short, is there a chance this is an authorization hold ?
And what would be the difference when i cant use the 120$ since they dont even appear on my account anymore
Call 1-800-742-5877, select the Brokerage Inquiries option (option 3). Once the rep takes your order number ask if there are any brokerage fees.

They're running a facebook contest right now to give away a copy of the wizard edition. That's probably someone's cancelled copy.
That's a load off. I was feeling terrible for paying $150+ for this. That's part of the reason I was even contemplating reselling.
Damn they are crazy !!!

Will do thanks
Or of it was a xbox exclusive, like Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon
Sad part is that i never see MS bother with JRPGs again
, but they sure are the best for western releases

authorization is just a temporary hold, not a charge.. nonetheless you still don't have access to those funds. (this is still a positive sign, means something is actually in process. my card hasn't even been hit with a authorization hold much less a charge)
you haven't been 'technically' billed for it until they settle (finalize) the charge.
if you used a debit card, unfortunately you have no access to those funds until they release the funds by cancelling the hold. What you ultimately want is for them to charge you because that's a sign they shipped your order.
Just got the shipping confirmation (with legit tracking URL) from Scamco as well.
I imagine UPS won't update until much later tonight or early tomorrow.
The knot in my tummy has eased a little bit.
Still a god damned shit-show for almost everyone involved though.
This is way worse than the Darksiders II ass-fuck.

uhhh, it being an xbox exclusive wouldn't have changed anything. the problem here is namco using digital river. if it was an xbox exclusive you'd still be having problems because Namco would still be using digital river to fulfill orders. The console exclusivity is completely irrelevant.
I see, i did use a debit card
I am only 4 months in US and cant really say i am a card expert
, i had never used a card before in GreeceWouldnt it go though MS since they are the publisher, like LO case where both localization and ditribution were some of the festest i have seen in my JRPG gaming life
So I gave them a call, asked about my January 17th order. Apparently that one is definitely going to be cancelled, so I asked them about the one I made last night.
Since I haven't received any cancellation notifications for that one, apparently it's going to be shipped out sometime soon. I just checked the reference number on UPS and I got a hit. For such a gorgeous book, better late than never, I guess.

Sweet! No fees.
Anyone know what the fee usually is?

Called again. Here's the conversation.
Me: Just got a cancellation email. Is it going to be cancelled or not?
Lady: No. Everything is sorted out now.
Me: Quick question--are you lying to me?
Lady: No, not at all. There was an error and everything is fixed now. You will be getting your copy.
Me: So can you guarantee this?
Lady: Yes, you will be guaranteed a copy right when it ships.
Ugh, the plot thickens.

Got my shipping email at 3:27pm EST - my bank charge is still pending, and UPS is still just showing a shipping label. But I have a shipping email! There is no way this will appear tomorrow if it's not already on a truck, so I'll refrain from the dance of joy until it is in my hand, heh. Good luck folks!
So, they cancel old ones and take new ?
They are officially mad
, the situation is becoming laughableIMO they should just reprint the Wizard and send it for 60$ to every cancelled order
Also kindly provide a PSN version to play in the mean time
Then maybe the have a chance that frustrated gamers will buy one of the their games ever again
i did.

This is nonsense. I mean, this is really totally unfair. The woman on the phone tells me my order cancellation email (the not real one) that I found in my spam folder was not sent by accident. So whoopie.
Then she tells me everyone from the 17th was getting cancelled and she's "really sorry". I told her she was wrong because I was reading here about people ordering on the 17th who got shipment notifications. I ordered at 1:03pm EST. Did anyone past 1pm order and get a shipment notification yet? I mostly saw people from right before 1pm.

This collector's edition wouldn't have existed if they'd localised, haha.
Not to mention it would be voiced by the usual suspects. No amazing Welsh accents and the like.

No, MS does not in fact publish every 360 game.
Indeed, but they did publish LO ( i think ? )
Just got an email from Barnes & Noble about my strategy guide order listing it as shipping on 2/13. I suspect that this means any orders placed with them at this point will be fulfilled using the paperback reprints, not the hardcover first editions. Just a heads up.

I hope to god you're not trolling
I am not trolling. But I think the lady I talked to is. The way she was rushing through everything, she just wanted me off the phone, telling me what I want to hear. I'm already planning on buying a regular copy tonight at Best Buy--I've lost hope for my WE.
Hah, lovely. Well then I think that's a pretty legitimate issue to raise to their customer service people, and I really have no plans of supporting either company if they don't do right by us with this fuck up on their part.

No problem, just be careful not to use your debit card on your online orders, for cases just like these.
Yeah, RE:Ni No Kuni, this is strictly a problem of their distribution chain being total garbage. Not a problem of manufacturing these items. Not to mention administrative errors like arbitrarily cancelling orders.
Here's a good article on the economics of game manufacturing
xseed and atlus are all about special editions. there certainly would have been one.

w00t got my order confirmation email. I'll be getting the game at least two weeks later, but still.
What a nightmare, though.

LOLI just checked my order and that what I got:
1/24/2013 1/24/2013 Order in Process $95.11
And UPS:
A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.
Namco think they are smart, go and eat dust : D

The funny thing is I placed two orders and the first one was "cancelled" (I don't even know if I believe that at this point), and the second one hasn't been sooooooo....that's weird.
And my Paypal payment hasn't been refunded yet either.
Yeah, it opened around 2-3am. The link's probably a good 10+ pages back, but it doesn't work anymore. No idea if it was leftover from people who's credit cards cancelled or what, but a few people managed to grab it. So lucky I got a spammy email from Amazon at 3am and forgot to turn my max volumed tablet off.

TBH i would totally have wanted him to play as Drippy. this 13 year old isn't doing it for me. he's just so flat.
Yuri Lowenthal as Oliver.
I dunno about XSEED, but Atlus very rarely do proper special editions. The only one I can think of is the Persona 4 one from Amazon.
You think the main boy is called Drippy?...
You ordered it today??

Yes, I post link that CS give to make reorder. And its work. It's seems after you make order by this link it is still valid.

Well I'm really upset now.
First two reps I spoke to told me that my order is in process and that it will ship eventually.
Then I called to talk to a supervisor in hopes of getting more information.
First of all, they have absolutely no system to check what e-mails they've sent to who. They told me this specifically.
Second of all they said that most orders from the 17th will be canceled.
So this doesn't make me confident in anything.

Outrageous yes, but still 100x better than not getting the thing at all. (Which is what seems to be happening to everyone I know who ordered one.)
