Where are you getting those numbers from?

Using the method people were using during Breach & Clear:

Now I don't know if I want a Vita copy too :(. I want to have a complete Limited Run collection but I don't know if I can justify buying multiple copies of the same game for that.

I thought of ordering both, as I was hoping for the same thing (minus not having Breach & Clear), but figured I would only stick to Vita games if they're multi-platform... that and the US to CAD exchange hurts a bit.

Damn, crazy how everything sold out within minutes. I managed to get a Vita copy, or at least I hope I did, and am patiently waiting for CSH. That's the game I'm really pumped for.
 
rogers was talking about a black label release of VIDEOBALL. $100 single colour scheme, single music track, single map, unique announcer pack and local multiplayer only. Sounds like the game is nearing completion. I wonder if we'll hear about a physical release before launch.

Keeps letting me add a game to my cart, but when I go to checkout it keeps telling me it's sold out and empties my cart...
 
Vita bundle was sold out as soon as it went live on my page and I was refreshing the entire time.

I was able to grab the games though and will try for the bundle tonight :)

Yeah same here. Was worried I wouldn't get them but thankfully I got my order in early. I really want CSH too so hopefully I can get that too when it goes on sale. I worry that will be harder to get.
 
Managed to get only a PSV copy in the end.

I hope they put up more PS4 version/soundtrack cds given how badly their website has been functioning. :/

Even if so, I'm still going to get hit double on shipping though, sucks.

Yeah luckily I was in time with Breach & Clear. I'm pretty sure I would hate myself for not buying the Vita version today if there aren't too many multiplatform releases after this.

It won't. Paid $15, same as with my B&C the first time.
Alright thanks.

Now I gotta decide what to do with my first order. I guess I'll try and order both when the next batch goes on sale, and try to cancel my first order. Or keep both orders and sell my extra PS4 copy to a gaffer that wasn't able to get one. I don't know if they would allow me to keep both orders though...

Kind of panic bought a Vita version. Not really sure if I'm going to keep it though and might just sell it at cost on here at some point. Damn limited edition shit always gets me.

Hopefully if I'm able to get the PS4 Soundtrack bundle later there'll be a way of merging the order later on, $30 shipping will be quite expensive given the way the ordering system works with no guarantee you'll even get anything nevermind 2 different items at the same time.

There was a limit, I think it was 2 of each per account. They're looking into 1 of each per account for the next batch.

They should go back and make this one 1 per and put those extras back up.

If it is like last time they will probably cancel bulk orders if there was no limit in place to begin with. So maybe there will be a third batch now too.

There was a limit of 2 per but that should have still been 1 per.

Yea they said to email them after.
 
There was a limit, it was 2 per platform per customer. The second batch will most likely be 1 per platform per customer.

Also if you bought some from the first batch and try to double dip your order will be canceled.

Thank you! At least I'll have a better chance in the evening, then.

Why not go back and make this batch 1 per? Since you miscalculated the demand it would give people another chance.

Yeah I got a Vita copy I prob don't want. I'm a sucker for these things, but wanted PS4. Honestly considering moving on and ignoring the rest of these releases though. These things just piss me off.. always fighting the fucked up websites and such. With the price low and quantity too low, they're just going to leave money on the table and feed the EBay flipping scumbags.

If someone tries to order a PS4 copy from batch 1 and a Vita copy from batch 2 (or vice versa) will their order still be cancelled, or is it only if you try to double dip on the same platform?

Is there someone we can contact about merging orders? I got the vita version this morning, but there was some weird bug with any of the others. I'm hoping to get the PS4 /w soundtrack as well in the second batch but I'd prefer not to pay $30 for shipping. :/
 
I'm currently reviewing the orders and checking to see if anyone abused the system.

Anything I free up will go to the second batch, we can't unfortunately change our policy on the first batch. That would also be a huge headache and email nightmare for me. I am honestly making sure this is as fair as possible, and this has changed our stance on future releases, big time.

I too had struggles with the website. I ended up with 2 vita orders madly clicking and having to open the cart in a new window. But would gladly shift one of them for a PS4.

Guess I'll have to try again later.

your entire order?

I bought 2 vita copies, one to play one for shelf, but I really wanted a Vita copy with the OST. If I buy a 3rd one with the OST, at which point I'd be happy to lose one of my regular copies, would that null my entire order?
 
Kotaku had put up an article the other week saying that Saturday Morning RPG would be one of the rarest PS4 and Vita games ever made.. so.... I think that may have impacted all of this...

Yep. Good for them and for future releases, and for displaying demand to devs... but it's also why I yank my own leash on helping to promote releases for the last week or so until I've safely gotten my own order in. It's not in my nature to be like that, but I gots to. It's also why I think "no! you fools!" whenever I see news sites run a story or a regular bump this thread around release, even though I also want it to sell out every time for the sake of future releases.

With as fast as this one sold, I don't think I have to be a good wingman anyway :p

I think two is fair for the first batch TBH. Too many scenarios where two people in the same household could want a copy. Siblings, college roommates etc. Not fair to punish people that had a legitimate reason to order two copies because of the hoarder scum.
