I got the other way around, telling me to call/e-mail back in two days to check if it's done. Seems like their web server is flooded and can't handle the traffic, which is why the pop-up might not show.Thoraxes said:

Really need a bigger 3DS for this game, hand keeps cramping on the tiny 3DS.
Game looks fantastic though.

This cant be happening, my 3DS ran out of power in the middle of the dungeon and apparently save files only resume at the start of dungeons?! Terrible game design choice!

Fuck why is this bothering me so much.
Fuck why didn't I wait till I got home to do it.

Dude, call them. They're not going to think you're trying to get 2 copies, not with all the problems they've been having all morning.AbsoluteZero said:

WOOOO, GOT MY COPY GAF!
Going to try to register my copy now...
It's not even a damn sticker, it's PRINTED ON THE BOX. Stupid bilingual shit ruining the boxart!! (Nothing against Quebec--you guys are cool). But it also ruined DQVI's boxart too.BY2K said:

By the way, wtf is up with the cheesy manual they included with this game? At the very least it's in color, but a flimsy fold out? Bleh.
Game is awesome and that's what really counts, but damn.

went to a million-dollar gamestop where my friend was the manager. they didn't have enough copies for preorders and wouldn't sell to the guy who walked in for one. usually this is just bullshit, but after he left, the guy in charge started asking the other employees to pick up copies if people had extras at other stores... so it sounds like they really were low on supplies.

Meh. Not Walmart and Best Buy.
two things. one i got the club nintendo website to work for me for ordering the soundtrack. i'm in the us.
2. gamestop is such a joke of a company. preordered using their website, went in at opening..."oh, it says you preordered at the other one across town, we only have enough for preorders." same thing was repeated to me when i went across town. was asked to preorder 5 different games. youjr website doesn't even let me preorder, why the hell would i give you money down? when you can't even get enough copies for walk ins? piss off.
walked into target in the same parking lot, dude had a stack of them right at the cashier in electronics, bought it. simple, no hassle, no "dude you gotta preorder RAGE for ps3! its gonna be badass!" just a "i cant wait to try this out later, i loved the n64 version." comment from the cashier.
there's a reason people root against gamestop, and hate their consistent badgering in store. i'm normally indifferent, and only go there for sunday nintendo releases, but i'm done with them. amazon and random local store for me from now on.

Man I wasn't too into 3d and stuff but the 3d is pretty awesome on this when I got it just right. I wasn't going to do that gyro aim thing either but I think I like it.

Yep, seems I should have waited. The number of people having no issue getting the OST seems to be dwindling.

That was beneficial, if only they could have left the enemies defeated. I guess I now know to keep my 3DS close to the charger and that I need to make sure to time myself to get through the dungeons. Its just unnecessary hassle.

So I ordered the CD while registering the game on NoE, but no confirmation send nor message on the account info. Hope I'll get it.

I was initially annoyed, but then I realised I quite liked it. The design was quite nice, the screenshots and control map are way bigger and clearer than you'd get in a standard DS-size manual, and no flicking through pages to find what you want.
Sure it seems a bit of a cop out, but I don't mind it. If it means we still get something in the box, I'm all for it. I only wish it had a map on the back or something.

Unless it's a room where the door locks behind you and you've got to clear it of enemies you can just run right on past 'em dude.Dedication Through Light said:

Welp that didn't work. Registered the game and nothing. Who am I supposed to email again?

Received the same e-Mail quoted earlier (literally copy paste/"I have taken the liberty to etc"), so I checked my reward orders to be sure (as was instructed). My only hesitation (it's there) is that it says backordered. Does it also say the same for others who have 'solved' the problem via e-Mail?

Okay. Called. Verified my info and actually added a cell number to my account.
Asked what time I completed the survey. I said 10:45am, which was about right considering I got to Best Buy at 10:15ish and was probably in there about half an hour.
Said he'd forward it to the admin dept and I'd hear back within 24-48 hours.
So I guess no guarantees yet but considering he asked me when I called makes me think they are paying attention to who registered earliest.
Edit: Betcha this is the last time we see Nintendo doing something like this.

I had no trouble redeeming the CD offer. In fact, I tempted fate by registering on my iPad. It went well, and I already received the confirmation email.
Just powered through the first dungeon, nostalgia bomb. Feels great. Updated graphics are interesting, but really lack luster for me. The 3D looks great when you're not trying to use the motion controls to shoot. The motion controls really surprised me in their effectiveness, which has created the problem of 'do I use 3D or the motion controls?' because they break the 3D effect very easily.
Somewhat disappointed that your location isn't saved, would have gone a long way towards improving the portability of the title. Guess we're stuck putting the game into sleep mode.

Now to muscle my way through this game.

Hilarious that those who registered first had less chance then those who registered later in the day.
