Edit: And for the record, both my orders for 4 games were cancelled for the same reason. Too bad, the deal was too good to be true

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

 

[atomsk]

i havent gotten an email about amplitude yet

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

The prices have changed at overstock.com to reflect what they're really worth. I think a whole lot of people are going to get fucked on this deal...either that, or just me and other canadians (maybe they're not honouring the mistake for canadian orders only? wait, that doesn't make much sense...i'll stick with the "everyone is going to get fucked" theory).

 

[Hournda]

That sucks. I was really counting on making a decent profit on those games.

I can't really cry for the people that buy like 36 copies of something. In some ways it is sad, in other ways I wasn't able to get anything and I'm secretly happy. Yeah, I'm a bitch like that. But I feel bad that nobody was able to get anything. I guess the world isn't ready for game deals that go below $4.99. At the very least this deal showed me that I needed to update the credit card info on my overstock account, so I'll be ready for the next deal.

Crap, I don't feel like paying $19.99 for Wario Ware...I want it, but I don't want to pay good money for it. I was hoping all the $2 copies of it would drop the half.com and ebay prices.

 

[Jupiter Jones]

According to my account page, one of the two Arc the Lad games I ordered have shipped. I don't know if the other Arc or Amplitude are gonna be canceled.

 

[mightynine]

I like that reason of cancellation. PRICE CHANGED DRASTICALLY isn't one you get every day.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

"In some ways it is sad, in other ways I wasn't able to get anything and I'm secretly happy."

It ain't a secret no mo, BURN HIM!

That sums up my thoughts. It's a bummer for those who were just trying to get some titles they wanted. But for all the greedy bastards looking to make a quick buck on ebay...

HA HA!

 

[Wario64]

Mine is still in process. As far as I can tell in the huge ass thread on the cheapass forum, only 1 person got their orders cancelled, but they used Paypal

 

[DMczaf]

My order shipped

Wario Ware GC
Amplitude
Arc the Lad

Weeeee!

 

[belgurdo]

pwned

 

[Pedigree Chum]

 

[Wario64]

I think Overstock needed to find an excuse to screw over Canadians again It's like an universal rule

 

[Bob White]

My account still shows the games at 2 bucks.

I've gotten no email saying otherwise.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I think Overstock needed to find an excuse to screw over Canadians again It's like an universal rule

Yeah, fuck them. Arrgh.

Edit: Have canadians been fucked over by them before, on prior deals?

 

[Hournda]

According to my account page, my order is listed as "accepted" but each of the items are listed as "in process." So, we'll see I guess.

 

[Wario64]

My order shipped

Wario Ware GC
Amplitude
Arc the Lad

Weeeee!

Did you receieve an email or did you have to check your account page?

 

[Bob White]

My order is also shipped. But I had to check the website to find out.

Since I did, what does that mean?

 

[Flynn]

Is that legal?

I get the feeling that you might be owed those games at those prices. I would check with your local Better Business Bureau.

 

[DMczaf]

Did you receieve an email or did you have to check your account page?

Email and checked the account page.

 

[Bob White]

That's exactly what I'll be doing if these fucker change these fucking prices when my shit is already mailed out!

Check his email, it says they're crediting back

I doubt they can change the price if they're already shipped

 

[Ristamar]

Yeah, once they're mailed, I don't think they can alter the price. They have to notify you before shipping, and then re-confirm the order with the new price.

 

[Flynn]

Imagine finding a great deal at a store, taking the product to the counter and paying for it without a problem. Then, as you're walking out of the store, the manager forcably makes you return to the register and makes you get a refund.

I guess the difference is that you never took posession of the goods.

 

[MrAngryFace]

internet stores do not equal real stores.

 

[jenov4]

I just checked my order:

Product Status - CANCELLED

BASTARDS! Btw - I'm in Canada.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I just checked my order:

Product Status - CANCELLED

BASTARDS! Btw - I'm in Canada.

*canadians take part in a group hug* It's ok guys, maybe the next deal will work out for us

 

[Flynn]

internet stores do not equal real stores.

True. And Pedigree Chum just experienced one of the negative aspects of the difference.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

What's really retarded is that they were going to charge me A LOT more than what Americans would be cahrged, and I get my order cancelled. If anything it should be the other way around.

 

[Flynn]

This sorta reminds me of the "relative pricing" a practice in which vendors, like Amazon, can present their customers different prices based on what their customer data predicts you're willing to spend.

 

[Wario64]

People are confirming shipped orders on cheapassgamers now. Canadians owned again.

 

[Bob White]

So that means us americans are still going to get our shit for the cheap prices?

 

[Wario64]

The chances seem good. Unless the website took more orders than what they had in stock, we should be good I think.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

People are confirming shipped orders on cheapassgamers now. Canadians owned again.

Whoa, so does that mean all the orders from Cananda were cancelled? Wouldn't that mean that some of the games would be back in stock...not at that $2 price of course.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Whoa, so does that mean all the orders from Cananda were cancelled? Wouldn't that mean that some of the games would be back in stock...not at that $2 price of course.

yup

 

[Phoenix]

Yeah... its the canadians getting owned. Hopefully that frees up a copy of wario

 

[Wario64]

My order just shipped. I expect Wild Arms 3 and Wario Ware Inc on my doorstep in the next 7 days

 

[DJ_Tet]

Are the diamond watches shipping too?

 

[NotMSRP]

Did you get in on the watches?

 

[Drensch]

I didn't get in on any of the games, but my dvds already shipped.

 

[EviLore]

My games shipped.

 

[Dead]

still in process


/me crosses fingers


Edit: well looks like they already charged me, so shouldnt be any problems

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

I got a shipping confirmation on the 1st of my 3 orders.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Both of the games I ordered have shipped.

 

[GDJustin]

It looks like amplitude is shipping at the $2 price. Mine did...

 

[Cloudy]

OMG, my order shipped!

 

[Crystalkoen]

Received confirmation email, order was shipped 9/29/04. Oh, and I got a pop-up advertisement (Flash style) for "Almost out of stock" Wild Arms 3... Sorry, Canada, but it looks like you got served.

 

[The Shadow]

Got a shipping notice today. Whhoooo!
