Hey guys, I know this has been asked many times before, and will probably be asked many times again, but I though I'd get an answer nice and early in the topic to prempt this. Ubishop charge upfront for preorders, correct?

Also interesting to note when I go to order the black chest edition from ubishop something called "the watch" gets added as a seperate line item...

Wonder what it is?

1 Assassin?s Creed? IV Black Flag? - The Watch
- Miscellaneous Item (Boxed Shipment)

Boxed item?? :think:


Assassin's Creed IV
Assassin?s Creed IV Black Flag - ?Black Chest Edition (exclusive to Uplay)




Anybody know what the box is made of? Some cheap plastic?

Is the map made of cloth or some pirate's dirty rag for authenticity?

Does Johnny Depp mo-cap this Assassin? (or will there be a Capt. Jack Sparrow skin for mp?)

Did the Endeavour Ship bring some treasure chest of gold coins along with convicts back in 1788?? (I'll have to hunt it down if they did???)

Not preordering this, going by Aus trend, none of the tier one CE have sold out until much later apart from AC2.

I'll just get the PS4 version whenever......:surrender:

[MLSxGHOST]

Can anyone pre order a black chest edition for me?

[Matrix6]

Can anyone pre order a black chest edition for me?

It might cost between AU$100 - AU$140 to ship that to Canada from Australia?!? :nosleep:

no the watch is not a physical item at all, just a pre order program

[Matrix6]

^^ Thanks Coma for clarifying. Not too fussed about that though.

I wonder if either the US or Italy will get a pirate gun replica CE? :drool:

[Dr_Jengo]

Maybe as a promo/press item? Like the Connor's Tomahawk?

[Platfus]

I would need 4-5 black chest edition shipped at once :think: That will be big box :nono:

Sent from my P350 Cyanogenmod 7 using Tapatalk

[Platfus]

And will go probably with skull edition since black chest won't have czech subs.

lets wait to see what US will get....

[MLSxGHOST]

I want the Black Chest for PS4 and the Skull Edition for Xbox.

[Christown]

To anyone who's already pre-ordered the Black Chest edition from uplay, did they charge your card when you placed the order or do they charge you when it ships?

[ison]

I cannot find the link for preordering the ce from uplay store.

Either i am stupid or blind...can anyone post it here?

Thank you in advance.

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Me thinks this is just the begining. Gamestop US still havent got anything listedapart from the standard game,so either they are really slow for once or theres something else yet to be announced.
Statue is huge,46 cm for the buccaneer edition & 55 cm for the black chest edition, Me likey the sounds of that but me no likey figuring out were the heck to put them.

[smitty2011]

To anyone who's already pre-ordered the Black Chest edition from uplay, did they charge your card when you placed the order or do they charge you when it ships?

Yes, I got charged - Paid by Paypal:facepalm:

[Dreamcazman]

I just checked by bank account and it appears I've been charged up front also - I paid by card.

On the plus side, at least I don't have to worry about paying for it when the time comes.

[Vikingo82]

Hope this is a Spanish exclusive...hehehe...

Looks like it will be from Gamestop couse the map is the same as the one for preorder in the US.

Will ask today in the shop today couse I have to go for my songbird edition.

Really want that chest and figure...

So by now, four different figures...and this misterious edition...

Will make some research here in Spain...

[HIPPEEDUDE]

What's this??
Saw it on the Ubi forums..

Another collectors edition like i suspected & i reckon theres more to come. The chest looks good to me,depending on what its made of it would be good to have. What this is mainly is another big dent in my bank account

[Thetof91]

Saw it on the Ubi forums..

Omg a figurine more?

So there is going to be 4 figurines? :O

[Dr_Jengo]

Yup looks like another figurine.. Looks a bit like the McFarlane figurine but 29cm is bigger than the McFarlane figure size. Chest will be a nice addition, hopefully it will be a good quality one.

Someone actually posted that this is a fake a few posts later.. so not sure about it yet.. If this is legit, it will be my 3rd edition after the Black Chest and Buccaneer editions.

[Dr_Jengo]

By the way can someone translate what's on the pic?

Lol.. :D

[vhal_x]

I have requested info from Ubisoft regarding the Seven Seas Edition, but they didn't seem to have any info to give, stating that the only editions were revealed yesterday. Although, I speak with the UK Ubisoft team, so maybe they don't divulge the info between countries?

Ah well, still pressing for more info, will update if I get any xx

[Vikingo82]

What's inside this interesting seven seas edition???

Sounds so smooth...

Buy don't worry!!! We will have maybe 9 CE of this AC... It's UBi!!!

They probably don't ship to your country. They say the edition is available to Europe, Middle East and Africa, but they don't send to several countries. The same is happening to me and to people from Greece, Malta and a few other countries. All I can buy in UPlay are digital games. Check the Forum and complain there.

Oh, and that Pirate of the seven seas edition is almost definitely a fake from what I've seen.

[Dr_Jengo]

Not sure about the watch thingy, why create another platform for extra content? Can get a little confusing but of course more content is always great. Hoping its not too complicated to access and of course, hopefully no issues for international customers.

Darn, I don't see anything on the uplay store link either. Will probably ask someone to help me ship it over..

[Vikingo82]

Then you get this email:

This map is also a pre-order bonus poster from EB games AU:) Dont know if its two sided as yet as they have none in stock yet

[Matrix6]

Is the Black Chest Edition the very first officially announced CE for the PS4?? :bday:

Will it also make it to be the first CE to be released for the PS4? :1:

[I_BE_WILL]

Not sure if anyone has heard different but those EB games posters aren't available until you pick up the game, or at least that's what the manager at the store I rang today said, then again when I put a pre-order on.

[Puk]

They dont charge upfront?
Only if use paypal or something I think..

Not sure if anyone has heard different but those EB games posters aren't available until you pick up the game, or at least that's what the manager at the store I rang today said, then again when I put a pre-order on.

Say what,i was told today by a store manager should be in within the next week or two. If you also look at the website it states if you order onlne just take your recepit in to collect you poster. I suppose that could still be done on launch day but,still that not right. EB games is getting really stingy it seems

Hi,

Just preordered the Buccanear Edition through Game (I hate when they get exclusives as they never wiggle with prices, I prefer Amazon with their price promise).

Anyway, I might have to track down some of he previous figures (I have AC1,2 and 3 models but think I might try and get the Revelations Ezio and the other Connor one that is available for AC3)

The statue in the Black Chest Edition is huge, the box it comes in must be a decent size as well.

No idea where I'm gonna put the statue.

Hi,

I just have my credit card set up on Paypal to be honest, that way I don't have to worry about which side of payday these things come out or being 1p short of the asking price and the payment being rejected etc.

I think thats going to be everyones problem,where to put the bloody thing. I already worked out that to display it i'm taking up two shelf spaces full of collectables:( Going to have to work on more shelf space before release me thinks.

Yes statue is going to be at least 2 parts

Likely the figure will be detachable in both the Black Chest Edition and Buccaneer Edition as then they can just mass produce the crap out of that and the 2 stands and not have to worry about combining them

I'm sure the ship part of the black chest edition also breaks down. Likely the mast won't come attached

I think this one will be bigger than Crysis 2 nano edition. With so much content inside it's impossible to be other way...

It will look like a tresaure chest really really big... Hope is not a cheap plastic chest...but if you think in a wood made chest...it's too heavy I think...

In the same way, I don't expect wood for the Bucaneer edition... I wish for it, but don't think so... It would be such a nice CE in this case!!!

[Vikingo82]

With this price, counting this huge 55 cm. figure and all the other amazing stuff included for 150€, I wouldm't count with it... Anyway, this will be the best CE comparison quality (stuff) / price I have ever seen...

The wooden chest would be the most near of a utopia...such a high price for produce them...

Yeah a wooden chest would only make sense in a small scale production run like some of those austrian or german exclusive CE's

These AC CE's will be made in quite large quantities and thus wood is out

No matter how cool that would be

but I can't seem to find the pre-order button or anything similar? It keeps bringing through to the Uplay site where the only mention of AC4 is the pc download.

Can anyone help me out and point out where I should be going to pre-order this or if I have the right place and it's just sold out?

Thanks :)

Hi guys thanks for the responses I have tried the link I posted above multiple times and the link provided by Vhal but still no dice. I wonder is it a region thing because I'm in Ireland?

EDIT

Yeah it's something to do with my region, I just tested it using a VPN/WTS through my work network so the site thought I was accessing it from Germany and both of the links worked =)

[SwiftDeath]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the uplay store ship to more European countries when ACIII released?

I wonder if it's because they lost money shipping to certain countries and then having to eat the shipping costs on returns?

Don't want to bring up a sore topic but I'm curious

[Evilhawk]

They are still losing money on shipping, they give you free shipping through UPS on all orders over 50GBP i think. So imagine the shipping cost on the black chest editions

[MadMan5]

Looks like uplay are trying to charge me upfront for all methods.. Aus will get the other 2 sets so i can pick them up second hand
Think you maybe right to wait as if you live is AUS EB Games are selling ACIII CE for $45 only in shops.

Thats one of thing all collectors should be used to by now, the unknown. Do we buy something now while its there or do we hope its still there 6 months later at half the price. The key word is "hope". These price drops do happen occasionally & the ones that come up are generally what someone has ordered but cancelled come time to pay. Occasionally the stores may order extra but only then maybe a few copies depending on the game. With AC 3 Freedom edition,i tried several stores a month or two later after release but,none were available.All these cheap editions are at certain stores & the only reason they got them is the EB games warehouse sent them a box of random stuff they had left over,this is usual practice with them. Most if not all pre-orders here are sent back to the warehouse & done whatever with.
It's only for the figure, no game included.

Says who,it doesnt say anywhere that its the figure only that i can see

[I_BE_WILL]

I checked for the closest shop and rang, then checked the next closest, and then checked 2 other stores that were 400km apart. All said that they are selling the figure for $45 and the game for $45 seperate.

Well it should say that on the website really & not be misleading. I know that Eb Games does do this occasionaly,they did it with the Halo Anniversary packs. Whatever was left over,which was very little they just removed the game & sold the remote control toy seperate.

[blockbusterboy]

I ordered two Black Chests late Thursday or Friday and got a message onscreen about processing the order and they'll let me know soon about the confirmation. Am I missing something here. I don't get it. Anybody able to shed some light on this because they's no record of the order either via an e-mail or in my ubi account as a pending or anything. How long does it take for them to confirm the order and how does this process work with ubi ? I've had a few things from ubi before and I don't remember any of this happening.

I should ask,at the end of it all, has anybody else had a similar problem/experience when ordering Black Flag out of hours ?

[kittychloe]

Maybe cause of easter?

[xpl0sive]

Has anyone pre-ordered the PS4 version? I know PS4 is not out yet, but I figured with the console releasing end of this year/early next year, some of you may be planning to buy one and hence pre-order the game on PS4. I think I'll pre-order the PS4 version :)

Looks like they drained me of the money but I still can not get any information on the transaction they not got back to me yet. Got it wrong this is what is on ther site:

When will my credit card be charged?

For purchases of downloaded products, your credit card will be charged the day after your order is placed.

For purchases of physical products, you won't be billed until your product is shipped. This includes any preordered or backordered products. If your items are shipped separately you will be billed each time a product is shipped.

[xpl0sive]

So they charged you even though they state they don't charge until it ships?!

[blockbusterboy]

All this with ubi is very confusing. They's no record in your onsite ubi account history regarding the order nor is they an e-mail saying the order is pending confirmation. Infact nothing apart from the the last part of the transaction with the onscreen message stating order awaiting confirmation or words to that affect. Once you come out of that screen then your totally blind until you get an e-mail form ubi so whether the order is successful or not is a total unknown. Obviously I don't want to place the same order twice.

As it is they have to give you the confirmation sooner rather than later because of "The Watch".

Regarding charging quite a few companies will take the full amount from your account, well it's the bank actually, and then the company,ubi in this case decide whether they want to take the funds from the account at this time or not. If they don't take the funds then the funds become available in the account again as the transaction window has elapsed. Then closer to the despatch time then ubi re engage the transaction and procure the appropriated said funds.

Yes I know I'm confused too. But anyway it's a bit of an irrelevance really because ubi are operating on the principle that if the full funds are available April then it stands to reason they are available come November. A bit of a logic flaw there.

More as it will get a proper CE for Czech republic
And not just pre order items
As fnac.es is the Spanish one
And I can see either GameStop or amazon buying there own CE this time (Amazon's depends on the success of rigormortis dead island riptide edition)
So maybe 2 NA ce's this time as I don't think ubi not america will give amazon and ubi a CE
Maybe one czech as well, since Dead Island got one too :)

Yea looks likely

[Platfus]

Well ACR or AC3 didnt get one, but I believe AC4 will.

[Ayiu]

Maybe one czech as well, since Dead Island got one too :)

I think Dead Island gets a special treat in Poland/Czech and Europe in general because it's a developed by a Polish video game devoloper and published by Deep Silver which is part of the German "Koch Media" company. Even though Dead Island is not available in Germany they gave Austria the treasure chest the last time.

AC is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and we all know that Canada and the US has not the best relationship :lmao: So all you guys from the US be nicer to the Canadians and the time will come you get something in return :wave:

Yes this one looks like a fake as of now because there isn't an official announcement but of course no official announcement doesn't mean fake as well! Could be leaked as Ubisoft didn't outright deny its a fake either.

Of course that's the collector in me speaking, I would love another ACIV figure especially one less dynamic compared to the previous ones announced. And of course, you must be kidding me if you say you don't wish to own a black flag treasure chest.. Look into my eyes and say you don't want it... :spiteful:

Ubisoft told me that it's most likely a fake (I contacted the UK Ubisoft, and they contacted the Spanish parts to find out information, and the Spanish division had no idea what it was :rotf:). So either it's really a fake, or they are just good at lying to me :haha: xx

Unless perhaps it's going to be a bundle offering like the Gears of war judgement kilo edition?

Would they need ubisoft's permission to do that?

Hello, Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Technical Support. In order to respond to this email, please update this incident (Please do not create a new incident). If you pre-ordererd this from the Uplay Shop, you wil soon receive a physical item with the code attached. If you have any further queries or issues please do not hesitate to contact us again and we will assist you further. Kind Regards, Shane Ubisoft Technical Support.

A info about the watch when preorder from ubishop :)

So they're going to send everyone who pre-orders from ubishop a physical item with the code?

Sounds like a lot of hassle when they could just email it.

[Vikingo82]

It's easier to preorder the skull edition from amazon, (even if you cancel it later)...I did it this way...no need to be UBI.

But at the moment the amazon email confirmation comes inbox, in the same moment another one comes with the code from UBI.

You register that code with your mail, and the follow some instructions, and you will have full access to the watch.

Fast and smooth...you register, you cancel the order. Job done...

I saw you many pages ago how I did it, and the downloadable map they gave you for entering the watch.

[Thetof91]

Ye.. But that is the answer I got :)

Then hope it will be more than just a code, a kind of pre-order bonus :)

[Vikingo82]

It doesn't matter couse the mail for registering, is after you put the code.

So there should be no worries...you are in the watch with your mail... The code really means nothing at all...

This are the steps for some people afraid of loosing content or whatever...

[Christown]

So, did anyone who isn't from Australia get charged upfront when paying by card?

I know you're asking people who aren't from Australia but...

I did get charged upfront but then when i checked my credit card account today I noticed that the payment had dropped off. So they do charge your account as a way of verifying the account is valid and you have the money, but then after a couple days the charge will disappear and the money becomes available again. They will then charge you the amount when it ships.

[MadMan5]

So, did anyone who isn't from Australia get charged upfront when paying by card?
I did was a bit pissed of with it all my first order got lost and they had no info on it as I got it from the UK when I put order in but the money was taken out of my account. I did it again from AUS site and it went through and the money was taken from my account so now I had paid for it twice. Tey say the mone is not taken but it is what they do and it is not them but the broker company or what ever they call them selfs this is what happens is they but the money on something called Authorization hold? in other words the company takes the money and holds it for them that is how they get around saying they don't charge. Now I got back to them as I wanted to get my money back this is what I wrote to them:

Hi, I reordered the item and the order went through now on your site you say:

‘’When will my credit card be charged?
For purchases of downloaded products, your credit card will be charged the day after your order is placed.
For purchases of physical products, you won't be billed until your product is shipped. This includes any preordered or backordered products. If your items are shipped separately you will be billed each time a product is shipped.’’

What is this? What is an Authorization hold? ''The Authorization Hold for that order has been reversed'' as stated by Thomas on the 4th So this means that I have been charged for the item the money has been taken from my account when you state my card is not charged till the item is shipped.

I have been charged a total of $379.90 and those funds have been taken out of my account I now know longer have access to that money if you policy is to take the total I would of paid by PayPal as I need the funds right now I would like to cancel my order and have the full amount of $379.90 paid back to my account.

If you take the money out of accounts or have the funds in this Authorization hold when you pay by card then state this on your site, as this is just misleading.

I will be writing to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to bring the conduct of this matter to their attention if the matter is not sorted in a timely fashion.

Thank you

They got back to me very quick and told me that my money would be back in my account in a few days it took about a week to get back to me all good now. Your bank account will have the full amount held and it will show up every day as that until the item is sent. If they just said that on ther site or just take a deposit then people can make a better decision as to what to do as we do have bills to pay.

All this has done for me is I'm putting a lot into the PS4 and i have not no idea what the thing looks like (if any thing like the super slim not good) or how much it will cost and with high speed internet getting here in Australia in 2021 this instant game feature on the PS4 that is one thing I can not use, first cross on my box.

So for now I'm just going to save as much as I can till I have a better idea as to what is going on in fact i did not get a Fat PS3 until 2009 and even then it came free with TV then got YLOD two years later crap.

So when the light is not on you are just in the dark.

The authorization hold isn't always down to the company you pre order from, it is usually your bank who does it. Some people can pre order and not have the authorization hold happen, depending on which bank they're with. The funds don't stay held until release, they are what's called "ring-fenced" for usually a week, and then the hold drops off and your funds become available again :) xx

Well if that is what happens then so be it but I would like to know that that's my point. So if the money has been released after you have ordered by card let us know.

[vhal_x]

I'm actually blacklisted from ordering from Ubishop, so I can't say anything, but I know that that is what happens when an authorization hold is in place, as I've had it happen to me from many different stores before. Even GAME in the UK does it, but theirs luckily only holds a pound or so xx

Someones been a naughty girl:lmao::)
I have kept upto date with this thread,read all comments about payment,how they take money etc & came to a conclusion. It seems to me that the most simplest & easiest thing to do is just pay for the bloody thing now. If you have the money for it now,why not just pay for it now. I would really hate to order something & then when the time comes find i have no money spare for it,that would be a major bummer. Would it not be best to simply just pay for it outright now than either try to remember to keep some money aside near release or realise near release your in the red & cant get it anymore.

[Neilikki]

I know you're asking people who aren't from Australia but...

I did get charged upfront but then when i checked my credit card account today I noticed that the payment had dropped off. So they do charge your account as a way of verifying the account is valid and you have the money, but then after a couple days the charge will disappear and the money becomes available again. They will then charge you the amount when it ships.


Oh, right, so that's what the case is. I know, I've been experiencing this from some stores too. Totally bothersome if you ask me, especially when they don't outright state they will be first checking your card if it's legit...

Ye.. But that is the answer I got :)

Then hope it will be more than just a code, a kind of pre-order bonus :)

Will I have preorder it from Ubishop because it is the Black Chest edition I want.. And if I get a code from there I see no reason to do that :)



I ask in about if there was a promo item or something you will get since they ship it physical, got this repsonse :)

Yes, you will receive a physical promotional item soon. Unfortunately the only timeframe we can provide at this moment is soon.

They have always been reasonble on the shipping but,as you say the tax hurts like hell. Me thinks though this will increase their sales of this edition & in all likelyhood this will be the only place your able to get the bonus items.

Do Mightyape require any payment upfront? xx

[Vikingo82]

Want my beer in this Tankard...

Needless to say nothing else...hahaha...

But this game is gonna cost a lot to get everything...begining with the pre orders, exclusive steelbooks futureshop, uk, etc...the US collectors edition... Gonna broke my wallet...

Ubi have big bussiness here...

Do you know if mightyape does payment at the moment, or when the stuff is shipped??

[Redmagster]

Do Mightyape require any payment upfront? xx

One of the key advantages of shopping online with Mighty Ape is your ability to pre-order items before they?re available for sale on the store shelves.

Pre-orders work just the same as a regular order, except that your item wont ship until it?s available for sale. Pre-ordering is the best way to ensure you don?t miss out on big Games or DVD/Blu-ray releases where day-one supply might be limited.

If you?re paying by credit card, we will not charge your card until your order is ready to ship, so it?s safe to pre-order days, weeks or even months in advance.

If you pre-order an item and the price drops before the release date, you?ll pay the cheaper price.

If you pay by paypal I am sure it goes out immediately....

[vhal_x]

Cool, thanks. I'll wait till next week just incase they put an authorisation hold on funds, as I've got nothing in my bank right now haha xx

[Vikingo82]

It's pretty cheap with the Au$ to Euro conversion...63€ for all that stuff...

Will sell the game separately and keep the good stuff for me...hehehe...couse I'm gonna have like 5 or six similar copies with all editions together...

[HIPPEEDUDE]

To my way of thinking there is going to be quite a few members who will be getting quite a few variations of the Collectors editions for a variety of reasons. Because of this it stands to reason that if this is the case would it not be best to at least pay one or two off completely upfront now rather than wait for this humungous bill towards the end of the year?? This seems a bit more logical to me & less of a worry

I ahd this conversation on another thread - it really throws me when i totally forget a preorder and the money goes out.... :sorry:

I actually prefer to pay when I order then when it comes it's like its free!!! :banana:

Or at least thats how I kid myself :)

Tho at the moment I can't... :pooryou:

pretty much the only store that doesnt take paypal money straight away is NISA.

Now this I do like, looks like I'm breaking my rule of only buying one copy of the game

There is no such rule.. it's a battle to see who buys the most CEs :lmao:

Anyway on the MightyApe PreOrder bonuses.. they ship internationally right? I remember getting something from them a long time back. The Darksiders War Figurine I think..

The stuff looks good, the mug/tankard looks cool but was hoping it looked more authentic like the one in the first trailer that BlackBeard was drinking from

[Vikingo82]

Fuck NISA... I bought them the Disgaea 4 premium limited figure set, and never received the figures... It's been like a year opening support cases for solving that, and no response from them!!!

they send item tracked?

Also paypal/CC claim? (obviously to late for that now)

[Vikingo82]

The CE arrived perfectly with the Atelier CE, but no figures on the package.

I wrote them, and they told me that they were having problems with stock and were so busy that they couldn't sent at that moment, that they will do in some time...but still waiting...

So...patience. What most enoys me is that they have again in stock that edition, when it was supossed to be highly limited, so they could send me just the figures.

When they put the edition again on the online store opened another case, still in progress...let's see what happens....

[LowlyAssassin]

So wait
Just mighty ape has announced pre order items so far?
As I am still going for all pre orders
And do mighty ape take payment upfront?

They are so useless...even a monkey would work better and would have more knowledge what I'm talking about...

They give you the code for the watch impressed in the preorder ticket.

Spain is different... :sigh:

It should be the map don't?

In the bill they price apart the map and the editions....so I think that it should be the map and code for the eatch...

The map is the only thing we could imagine it being too... although, for some reason I originally thought it was going to be just an in-game map or something. Thing is though, I've been considering cancelling my pre-order (I can't really afford it), so I hope they don't expect me to return the map if I do eventually cancel it.

PC(black band white logo), PS3(black band white logo), Xbox360(white/green band), WiiU(unconfirmed), PS4(unconfirmed)

Yeah, for this reason I made the question, they notified me that my preorder was sent to me and one of it, it's for Ps4.

Can't wait to see my first box in the collection with the ps4 stripe.

If so, will upload some pics. If reallly comes with ps4 logo...

I mean honestly how does THAT much damage happen?

Were they transporting an elephant and put it on top of just your jiffy bag?

Somehow they literally flattened a dvd case

There must have been a massive amount of weight placed directly on top it for the edges to break in that fashion

Just wow :facepalm:
