Batman: Arkham Knight - Page 23

These were completed and from what I heard sitting in the retailers warehouses as they were prepping them for shipping to customers starting tomorrow or Friday. Cancelling at the last minute is very suspicious it can't be a quality control issue with the Batmobile toy itself since those were made a while ago, and any issues with them would have been noticed then and thus I could see cancellations at that time, but not six days before launch. WB should give a full detailed explanation to fans.

Exactly dude. At THE very least they could at least upgrade everyone who had the batmobile edition preordered to the collectors edition. The whole thing sounds fishy. It couldn't possibly been a quality thing seeing as the game was delayed for 6 months, so they had plenty of time. Hopefully they have a decent explanation and not some PR bullshit. Ohhh and the free dlc as an apology is garbage

Yeah most people keep saying "Oh it was an issue with the toy" but what they don't seem to realize is the units were done, boxed, shipped to retailers and basically ready to get shipped to customers. WB had more than likely gone over the quality of the toys and they must have signed off on them if they went to the boxing stage of distribution. If there was an issue, it would have been found several months ago, and if the issue was severe, the edition would have been cancelled then, but waiting until all were boxed up, and ready to go out to customers is what is raising red flags. Some may want to pass the blame on the retailers which isnt right, the blame goes to Warner Games/Warner Brothers for this "oh its a quality control issue" nonsense.

The free DLC as an apology is a joke and what WB doesn't seem to understand is alot of people are pissed because they now can't go and get the $99.99 limited edition because those too are sold out. There simply needs to be an explanation given by Warner as to WHY they waited until six days before release. Not a watered down excuse but the truth as to why they didn't catch these quality control/technical issues months ago and then reported it canceled....simply put, why wait until a day or two before they were shipping to customer and six days before launch? That isn't too much to ask....

For what's it worth though Best Buy has made no effort to contact me about my pre-order, it still shows as "processing".....

What a total mess!!

Looks like no editions anywhere

Yeah I am feeling for the people who have paid ebay scalpers for this and are not out of the 45 day claim period. I have been stung by this once before. Long before I found these boards. It was for Monster Rancher for DS. Pre-ordered it with an ebay seller since Amazon wouldn't ship to me here and the seller had a fair price. The game then got pushed back a month. When it came out, I was out of claim period and needless to say the seller never sent the item and j couldn't get my money back...

I can see a lot of people being stung by this whole affair.

However, I wonder how many of these have been made already before they decided to pull the plug, if any? Wonder if some will make it into the wild like the cancelled Fable 2 CE. Lol

I think its because people mainly go based on Amazon and Gamestop for their gaming needs, forgetting that sometimes you can find them elsewhere. Case in point was the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Editions. Sure Amazon and Gamestop sold out in less than a day but Best Buy had them up for three days before selling out, and Bethesda's online store had them up as late as early this morning before selling out. Walmart, Target, and Fry's aren't expected to carry it. Only option now for people is Best Buy in-store only to pre-order but that requires FULL payment in front. NewEgg is expected to have pre-orders soon though.

I don't think that's the case. They have regional allocations for each location.

Really? This morning when it was showing out of stock online, there were people mentioning they had just pre-ordered in-store but had to pay in full as the site was saying "sold out".
