Wow, that is bullshit. I haven't got that e-mail yet and now I'm gonna get worried every time I hear my e-mail notification go off. I was never gonna order this, but then I saw that people already had it on eBay for twice the retail value so I decided to get a copy about 3 weeks ago. So I must be at the very end of the list, but maybe that's not how they operate, which is stupid.

Nlkuysdf if you get a copy, no offence but I will be PISSED.

I will go crazy and start making calls TO the GAME centre and ask to be put through to the supervior straigt away.

I understand, I would be too, especially if you say you ordered it when it was first announced. After seeing your post I emailed my friend in England (whom I get all my PAL games through). He just e-mailed me back saying he got an e-mail a couple days ago saying that it was on its way. So according to him it should be in today or tomorrow.

I would definitely call and complain; what's the point of pre-ordering if they're not gonna honor it.

My day of pre-order was Oct 14th or later, looking at the correspondence between my friend and I.

Gurps, mine just arrived from Game, and it was pre-ordered on the 15th. They definitely were not going by first come first serve. I would definitely raise hell.

Someone at GAME is going to die

I will give them a call tomorrow and give them my 2 cents.

Just checked my order, I placed it on the 8th.

I mean I'm obviously glad I got mine but that's total bullshit to just cancel yours. I'm quite curious as to how they determine how to dispatch their orders.

I have justed checked my order log when you log in, thisis what is says:-

Order status log

08/10/2010 Your order is currently held as a Preorder

26/10/2010 Your order is waiting for authorisation and release for fulfilment.

26/10/2010 Your order is held for credit checking.
Funds will not be debited until your order is shipped.

26/10/2010 Your credit/ debit card has been authorised and your order is now being released for packing.

26/10/2010 Your order is currently being picked and packed.

28/10/2010 Your order has been cancelled.

-------

So not a credit card problem, they were picking and packing it,

They obviously though they had enough so just handed them out to the packing staff with no queue system, then they ran out of stock and though oh s**t let's just send out an e-mail implying everyone after me didn't get one either.

Have just had to order on on eBay for £95, as they were going up in price for the PS3 version anyway

There's 4 Xbox ones on eBay right now. 2 for 98 pounds and 2 for 199 pounds. Ridiculous. 50% increase already, before release, that's just absurd. And there were more up so I'm assuming people bought them. Wonder if this one is actually limited. I've seen quite a few copies of the US version just sitting at best buy, so I doubt that version is.

gurpswoo1 · #40 10-28-2010, 09:49 PM

Yes this one is considerably more limited than the US version.

Don't know why that is, but expect this one to be one of the more valuable edition in the future. Well just being Castlevania limited edition will make this valuable.

Life just isn't fair.
