The Lord of the Rings War in the North

Well, I finally got my PS3 version this evening after a load of pissing about with order "delays."

Looking on the bright side I had 30 days to return the 360 version so I was able to make sure that the PS3 one was definitely coming. Also they didn't try to charge me full-price after i pre-ordered it at £53 . . .which was a good price, all the dicking around notwithstanding.

I still think Amazon pulled a flanker here by sending out 360 as a placeholder because of a PS3 shortage. Personally, I'd have more respect for these corporations if they just told you the truth in the first place.

I just hope the 2012 CE season brings better online pre-order competence because this year has sucked, quite frankly

my order from jb hifi still has not shipped, they said it would ship 11/3/11 then 11/16/11 and finally 11/23/11 and guess what? my order still says "in progress"
when i contact customer service they just keep saying it's in progress and ask if i want to cancel??

I will not be buying from jbhifi in the future...

Did you order a PS3 version, havuk ? There seems to have been a general supply problem all over with that version. I and another member were were sent 360 versions instead until the PS3 supply became available in the UK.

To be honest, jbhifi sound like a right pile of shite

yes, i did order the ps3 version since it's region free, and am aware of the shortages etc.. but JBHihi should still be able to answer a simple question instead of these "canned" responses...

The secret to dealing with JB Hifi is to pay with paypal. It took them ages to reply to my queries until I opened a paypal case. After the case was opened, they replied to my emails within a day, sometimes within hours.
