Got this email today:

"Hello,
We're writing about order # ***-*******-******* for “The Order: 1886 Premium Edition.” Unfortunately, we’re encountering supply issues with this item and we’ve had to cancel your order. You have not been charged.
We're sorry for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause."

Wow. Thanks Amazon. 15 days before release, no time to find another one since it's long sold out everywhere.

Great.

Why couldn't they just ask me if I wanted to keep it on my order for if it eventually comes in? Why just remove it completely as a surprise?

The best part:

"To help make up for the inconvenience, we would like to offer you a 10% discount on the item “The Order: 1886 Collector’s Edition”", which doesn't work because I've already purchased it, and due to a technical issue, it wasn't able to be discounted further.

God... dammit.

Show them the info and get a ten percent refund they should do it

And if you order US collectors edition from Amazon.com, it will cost you approx £73 with p+p to the UK and customs fees, which is cheaper than the UK version with free delivery and no custom fees!

flatout and Dreamcazman were very thoughtful in letting me know it's up for order again.

I grabbed one while I could, but I really can't afford it. I can't even part out the pieces I don't need (literally everything but the statue/artbook) for enough to make up a reasonable difference.

Right now, with the current state of the Canadian Dollar, my order total is $260.59, which is waaaaaay beyond my budget (and my sanity). I'm hoping by the time it ships the dollar has evened out and it won't be so bad when I'm charged. However, if February 19th rolls around, and that CAD is still sitting this low, I'll have to cancel and try my luck at just buying the pieces I need.



More bad news is that I heard that it's not just a stock issue in Canada in a traditional sense, but that it was completely CANCELED without notification in Canada. Even when you're on the Playstation Canada website looking at it, there's no more image for the Premium edition, and when you click the link for it, it brings you to a '404 page not found' error.

Canada kind of got the rug pulled out from under us on this one. Sheesh. What a mess.

Definitely going to ask CS to give me a discount on something else, or a gift card for the future. I'm not one to feel entitled to things, but they really screwed me here.

How did yours from amazon total up to be $260? Mine is only around $200 converted.

[Brandon Storm]

No clue.

Here's the breakdown.







If I can just sell one more kidney, I should be able to break even. Keep an eye out for my b/s/t thread if you need a donor.

[Letrico]

Eh? Weird. Do you get hit by import tax or something? Mine is only $159.47 total

[Brandon Storm]

Heavens to Betsy, yes. So much import/tax (and possibly some more tax, it warns me). All these motherfuckers with their hands in my pockets! Leave my wallet alone you vultures!

Aha, bloody taxes! I'm actually thinking of cancelling myself as well... I'm a little tight right now with debts right now. I might just cancel that and grab a local copy.

[Dreamcazman]

I tried to redirect the copy I have on order to Brandon, but the Amazon site kept erroring for some reason. I could change it to any other Australian address though.

I think I'll cancel mine too (unless someone from Australia wants it) and pick up the standard CE instead.

EDIT: Brandon, those tax prices are insane, first the US adds it's tax, then it seems you get slugged again!

In a way, I love it here in Australia, the price you see is the price you pay, no additional taxes.
