Orders of Ys are showing remaining inventory. Is this them measuring how many of the copies they've already ordered that have been shifted?
(In which case, it's nearly already sold out what they'd previous allocated?)

Not for long, but for quantities THIS high, it's great!

Ok, couldn't resist because they were still available after 5 minutes.
Vita collectors edition bought.

Yeah , I wonder how the pre-order compared to first cone first serve method, differs. By now it would've been sold out if the old way of sellling was working.

I was expecting people were going to use there bots to order unless LRG disables bots on there websites?

Wow, I was hit by Paypal errors for the first time ever, and I ended up needing to enter my credit card, so I was sure I'd lost it, but somehow I managed to get one!

Picked the Ys vita CE in my first transaction. Then swung back around for Asdivine on Vita with a second transaction.
Smooth sailing.

Kinda weird actually. Asdivine sold out faster on Vita; Ys CE has gone faster on PS4.

Shit I fucked up... I wanted the bundle Ys collector and Asdivine Hearts but it wasnt available for pre order at 4pm so I took the Ys collector alone, then the bundle was up so I took that and I thought I had cancelled my standalone Ys collector... It wasn't until checkout that I realized my mistake... I coundl't back down since it probably would have been too late to order them anymore.
I opened a ticket for LRG support so they can cancel the Ys collector. Shit I feel so dumb right now, they probably going to cancel all my order because they'll mistake me as a scalper :/

PS4 Ys doesn't have the bugs on it that need the patch, so that makes sense.
Seems Asdivine is 3.8k on Vita and 4.8k on PS4.

Fair points!
Kinda smart that LRG have worked out how much lower Vita runs need to be than PS4. Seems they're not too far off (Asdivine PS4 was about 10% when Vita had sold out).

I'm not saying it should, but people certainly expected to see it fly as fast as Night Trap and Wonder Boy which were OOS in 2 minutes top. These games were simply crazy.
Thus the Ys hype was maybe a bit overinflated.

PS Vita version got bugs?
They both have patch that fix it. PS4 version has the patch on the disc.
Is the standalone "technically" a separate item versus the bundle even if both have the CE? Either way, I'm sure they would appreciate the message to clarify.
Well, there was a combined 6,000 LEs this time.
PS Vita version got bugs and is not the patched version on cartridge?
They said they would've had to rebuild the WHOLE game to put the patch on the cart.

EuroGAF that has bought from LRG, do you usually get hit by customs? I have 2 orders coming, one is already in the UK and it says that it has cleared customs but I don't know if when it arrives in my country (Portugal) it will get stuck in customs again. If that usually happens, I might as well get Ys Origin from PA rather than LRG because taxes would be lower...
More CEs available across two consoles, AND the possiblity of just leisurely ordering just the game for people that don't want to deal.
Win, win.

I encountered a problem with Amazon payments for the first time. There was an error saying the payments were being throttled or something like that and it couldn't continue. It gave me a heart attack that I might miss out, but I couldn't get around it and had to just input my CC info.

Are the bugs very bad and do they occur often?
Nice, hope this is a big success for them and 24h preorders are here to stay.
Got the bundle into my cart but when I tried to go through Amazon pay my browser throttled and kicked me back to my cart. At which point I got the "some items in your carts are sold out" message.
Fortunately I was able to get both items into my cart separately and check out, but it was disappointing that I couldn't get the bundle.
Tense couple minutes though.

I have to say, I do hope the 24 hr thing takes off. Putting it up 1m before the other games was fantastic to stop me worrying; meant I could focus on the rush for the other game.
Lower end of the sales expectation is a good start, hopefully it keeps going.

Hooray got the Vita CE! No thanks to that stupid "hey dont refresh or you lose your place message." I remember losing out on everything last time so I did refresh and it went right to the "choose your shipping page."

So, question - if I have my hold shipping order shipped now, it won't actually go out until like late September once they get in the copies of Ys Origin on Vita, right?
Still, not the bloodbath some expected. But that's good, I guess ^^
France here. Never ever had to pay custom fees. The system works like a charm
Really ? Cool ! I didn't catch that on Twitter.
Just missed the first batch, but I'll be there for the second one to grab Asdivine Hearts.
Also, just an update from my held order, they just shipped it this week, saying the shipping label got corrupted... Meaning that not only did they not ship my games early last month, but I could've gotten the other games I've ordered after to be shipped with them. Not only that, but the list they sent me is missing Dariusburst, despite having an order for the game and listing the order number on the message I sent to get the held games shipped. Why did shipping and handling took a turn for the worse after improving so much over the last year?

Oh it's just my own unscientific tracking of the quantity numbers.
