Thanks, I got my pre-order in.
However as soon as a more reliable retailer pops up I will be placing one with them. Game do not have the best track records with collector's editions.

I placed my order as a guest, but can I easily cancel it by asking them via mail if needed?
Dunno yet, GAME is the first UK retailer to open preorders that I know of. Guess we'll see if more pops up later today.

Amazing, thanks for the heads up.
Yes, that worked for me before.
Pretty sure pre orders are going up on Nintendo UK soon. The register interest page for the game is gone.
Not sure, but I imagine so. I've never checked out as a guest.

Not sure. You can ask that question in a live chat though

Just ordered from Game for my Aussie buddy. I can't believe I ordered from this retailer, but he desperately wants it. I'd have ordered one for myself but I mainly play on an NTSC-U 3DS so the cart wouldn't even work.
LOL Game finally tweeted about this 3 minutes ago.

Whomp. They said it will be reserved until my order ships.
Neat, we got in before the announcement.

Lol at a game branch asking if it's online only in the replies.

I had to delete my cookies to get in. It ignored my saved password, so I logged in, then it sent me a verify email code, I used that, then it gave me an error.
Delete cookies + saved password, then I got in straight away.
Thanks, but

bugger, sorry man. Their phone support is terrible too, always takes me 20 minutes to get through.
Nope.
Well, trying to register a new account and I've got the phone issue sorted out, but it straight up claims my post code is invalid when it isn't. Thanks Game.
Sure would have been nice if I could have gone with bol.com like I was planning to, but you damn foreigners just had to snatch it up before me.
I've got someone who might be able to hook me up with a copy if multiple preorders come through, so not all hope is lost, but I really don't like maybes... This is the first Nintendo LE as far I remember that I've been unable to preorder somehow.

Damn. Thanks.
Btw, contacted coolshop UK and they don't do pricematch apparently. Only coolshop DE I guess ?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but depending on your postage costs, you're not even 30 shorter than Amazon. LE alone is 60GBP (67) without shipping.
I'm getting the same error message. We're probably too late?

My Amazon.de order is 110€ between my country's VAT (23%) and the shipping. 63 GBP translates to about 71€, which is nearly 40€ cheaper than the Amazon.de's order. I was not exaggerating and I hope to hell and back that this order goes through so I can cancel the other one.
And, speaking of that, it's still up in GAME from what I see. I can't really imagine they have this much stock.

Woops, I snoozed on this.
Ah well. Will try Nintendo Store.
Ah well. Will try Nintendo Store.
I have a strong feeling that it will be up today, since they took down the 'register interest' page. Keep your eyes open for the next two hours just in case.
I can still see it.
That's weird. I can't see it on my phone or desktop PC, but it was always there for me. You can see it on the main page?
Not on the main page, but searching for Metroid takes you to a page with register interest for SR and MP4 and links to other products.
Ah okay. I meant that they took it down from the main page. When they did that for the SNES mini, it went up a few hours later.
Edit: Yeah I just checked and it shows a page for the game, but no register interest option.

There's no box to actually enter your email address any more though.

That means they're probably going to put it up soon. Same thing happened with SNES mini
