Anticipated Dark Souls 3 CE and Prestige Edition

[CollectorFanatic]

No just the prestige edition. I knew this was going to happen. Every mom and pop shop and amazon had preorders for it....with 2000 of them made. They should have just made it available for preorder on ONLY 1 website

That fucking sucks. My sympathy is with my fellow soulsborne bros who have no respect for their wallets in this trying time.

At least you have a lot more money to spend on other DS swag now.

Downside is that the regular collectors edition is selling out. So get on that if you didn't have a backup plan.

I think I'm getting it. That price is awful, and it looks like what you get for the $110 (in Canada) price difference is completely offensively abysmal. A bookmark (albeit cool) and a little estus flask that you can't even drink out of, and that just looks like a crappy vase to anyone who doesn't know anything about DS?

I have it ordered, but the more I look at it, the more I think I'll offer up my pre-order to someone here if it goes out of stock.

My sympathies to all those that have had their orders cancelled. I can understand the disappointment. I ordered mine through EB games and paid $400 deposit up front. Did amazon require this from you guys? So far, I have not received any cancellation notice.

Amazon never charges before shipping and never takes a deposit. I know Amazon.es has cancelled for overselling, but hadn't heard Amazon.uk or Amazon.de cancel - yet. It also was only 336 Euros to pay in full from Amazon.de - 400 seems like a pretty big deposit.

I didn't think they would have asked for a deposit but I just thought that may have a bit to do with the cancellations.
In Australia two retailers offered it, one for $900 AUD and the other for $800. I got mine at the cheaper price, but had to pay for half up front to secure it as they only had a very small amount of stock - 20 or so.

Ah, that makes more sense! I didn't pay attention to you being from Australia and the AUD conversion making a difference there.

Regarding the cancellations, Amazon does that here in the US sometimes as well, but not as bad as Best Buy or Walmart in my experience. They don't ever charge a deposit mainly because of the US credit card laws and the frowned upon area around charging before shipping. Some companies that have US outlets still charge on purchase (Squaresoft store etc.) but most only on or right before shipping.

I still think a lot of times these cancellations happen that the distributors over promise companies what they have available. The seller always bears the brunt of it, but that is just because they are outward facing. Of course that doesn't make it suck any less if they cancel on you.

I tried to change my shipping address to my neighbor's because I might not be home when it's released. However, it won't let me and said this product can't be shipped to the US.

If you had it shipped directly to you, I suggest you to change the shipping address to some member here from EU so they won't cancel your order because of the address

My preorder is through Amazon.de. I have bought games in the past from them and had no issue with their Global Priority shipping sending to the US, but I don't think I have ever bought anything as big/heavy as this is supposed to be.

That would of made a lot of sense for keeping track of the orders, but I suppose they are just going to let the retailers hang people out to dry since somebody in distribution can't count.
