Hi,
I have read on ubishops "Help" that they charge credit cards for physical items when the game is released and ready for delivery.
Ok, i ordered 2 CE`s and then inmediately charged me!
Is this normal? They act exactly opposite of their own terms!

[Ayiu]

The 5th Freedom Edition is available in Germany through Gamestop for 99.99 Euro and the Freedom Silver Edition can be purchased for 99.99 Euro but only at UPlay. The Ultimate Edition will be exclusively sold through Amazon.

[KIERONOO]

Ye I ordered the silver edition from uplay and they charged me. Does anyone have a link to contact someone to know why the hell that happened?

They never charged me upfront. So maybe they charged you to see if the credit card is valid and will refund it to you soon.

I hope so. I need that 79.99 to help pay towards my songbird :v:

Sounds plausible to me, lets see what the next days will happen...

[Tejstar]

Went for the Silver Edition on PC. Couldn't justify spending the extra ?30 on a most likely inferior console version.

[comaamen86]

Sounds plausible to me, lets see what the next days will happen...

no i dont bite they only have to do a nominal test payment of a pound to see if card is good, i would get in touch with em

[Puk]

Hoppala,
They did a "nominal test payment" of 124 GBP in my case....
I wrote them a message.

[Dreamcazman]

EB have it on their website already @ $118, not a bad price.

[Letrico]

Uplay have the silver edition, EB have the standard freedom edition. I bet JB will be getting utlimatum edition.

[Dreamcazman]

I'm a little confused, does Uplay have an outlet here in Australia?

I checked it up and I can go through the process of preordering it @ $129.95 with free express shipping!

Are they AUS versions, US or UK? Anyone know?

I like the Silver edition as it'll probably be rarer than the standard freedom one.

[Mike1888]

So it is confirmed Uplay charges you when you place the order?

Takes payment if you pay by paypal. I believe it charges when shipping if you use Credit Card

[KIERONOO]

If anyone who ordered with uplay and got there Money taken out straight away I got this from a ticket:


Thank you for contacting Uplay Shop Customer Service regarding Splinter Cell: Conviction

In order to respond to this email, please update this incident (Please do not create a new incident)



Your money is currently being held as part of a process known as Authorization Hold:

"Authorization hold (also card authorization, preauthorization, or preauth) is the practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with a debit card or credit card and holding this balance as unavailable either until the merchant clears the transaction (also called settlement), or the hold "falls off." In the case of debit cards, authorization holds can fall off the account (thus rendering the balance available again) anywhere from 1–5 days after the transaction date depending on the bank's policy; in the case of credit cards, holds may last as long as 30 days, depending on the issuing bank."

In this case the hold will "fall off" and the money will be made available to you. Another Authorization Hold will be requested shortly before the game's release in order to prepare the final payment which will be taken on the game's release date.

[KIERONOO]

BTW If anyone is wondering Why they said splinter cell conviction I have no idea

[comaamen86]

that blows

[ro4eva]

I'm so jealous - You guys in R2/PAL regions get the coolest CEs.

Yes the RC plane is neat for the NA release, but I'm diggin' that silver edition.

I hope they don't screw up the silvery paint...

[Christown]

Yeah, It'll probably flake like a bitch.

[Clusks]

Just had a good read through. Want to get the silver edition but having to pay up front isn't the greatest!

[ladyhawke]

Any one think the watch is worth it? :P

[Xmo]

Any one think the watch is worth it? :P
