Arseholes, utter bloody arseholes.
They've spammed me for months upon months with "We're sorry your order [Risen 2 CE] has not shipped yet" after it got delayed then 1/2 days before release they tell me they have no stock?

Cancelled all orders with them and I'm in a good mind to make some form of complaint due to the fact that by this time they should have clearly known they wouldn't be selling it and I really don't appreciate being told so late that there's sod all I can do about changing my order somewhere else that has a decent price.

I had the same spam, every Saturday morning. I've had a moan via the customer feedback address but I can't see them doing anything about it. Had trouble with them in the past.

That said, when they are good, they are very good. Usually cheap, the packaging is much better than most other online retailers and I usually get games before release. Can't see me using them again after this though.

Do post if they offer you any form of compensation, as unlikely as it is.

Just had my reply, waste of time. Guess I'll just pay the extra £20 from Amazon.

I have spoken to our buying department regarding this who have advised me that our suppliers had assured us they will be able to get us a large quantity of stock.

Well . . .I'm gonna contact 'em - pointless though it might be - to tell them that I'm not as effing stupid as they are and point out that i know full well why they've cancelled all orders.

Honestly, i'd have more respect for these moronic twats if they'd just own up for a change and admit they fucked the price up. The way things are going - and i don't know why just gamers are singled out for this lousy treatment - people will be flocking back to the high street to do their shopping.

Couldn't organise a wank in Playboy Mansion . . .

The only way that Zavvi could possibly help and regain some people's trust is if they gave customers who pre-ordered this item, £20 gift card for amazon and I would fruitlessly call them and suggest that as a way they could help. I feel sorry for you guys...

Got my treasure edition from Amazon for the Xbox 360 today and it's limited to 5700 pieces. But not sure if this is just for the Xbox Version or the overall number for Xbox and ps3.

Kat, do you know if any stores in Germany will stock the Treasure Edition? Or is it Amazon.de exclusive? xx

I seem to remember switching my pre-order from GAME to HMV during the period when GAME were in administration. I now wish I had switched the order back again, as mine arrived packaged in nothing more than a grey plastic mailing bag! Courier was YODEL!

Needless to say, the box was crushed and almost every corner dented

I honestly can't understand how anyone can think that this is an acceptable way to package a Collector's Edition! I'm absolutely gutted, and at the very least I expected a suitable box to have been used

From now on, I'm going to refuse to accept anything shipped in a grey mail bag or delivered by YODEL!
