European Assassin's Creed III CEs Revealed

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Hey all,just was told something by a manager of a gamestore,which will remain nameless,that some of you may find an interesting idea. He himself has ordered both Assassins Creed Freedom Edition & Join or Die Editions for when they are released. What he is then going to do is keep the Freedom Edition complete & only keep the contents of the Join or Die edition except for the game. Hes then going to return just the game from the Join or Die edition. Because the game will be a new release he will get back near what would be the cost of just the game & have the bonus of the Join or Die Edition contents/box for roughly AU$20-$30. To me this is in some ways seems a little dodgy but its also completely legit & within the companies policies. Something worth considering for those who want the Join or Die Edition just for the medal. I dont think this will apply to all gamestores,only those with a trade in policy.

Cancelled and re-ordered my editions

[Aya-Kun]

just want to make sure of something before I order from the Ubi site. I've read the help section am I reading it correctly that they don't take payment until its shipped?

Don't really want to get it from Gamestop if I don't have to pay now

Defiantly ordering from Ubishop. Only £95 for both editions. Anyone know if they take the money straight away or when they dispatch.

Edit:
Had a look at the Terms of Sale

"We will charge credit or debit cards on dispatch of the Product or commencement of Services. We reserve the right to verify credit or debit card payments prior to Acceptance. Methods of payment accepted by us can be found on the Site."

yay

Edit 2: Seems to have charged me anyway, probably due to the Voucher being included in the checkout and counting as a downloadable purchase (Which is charged instantly).

Charged me too...paid via PayPal.

Yes I think you're right, I had the same issue with not wanting to be charged until dispatch, realised after I preordered yesterday that they were going to charge me as they add the Win7 voucher just so they can class the order as a download and then charge immediately.

Requested to cancel and got cancel confirmation today and thanks to Masoom I will be preodering again sometime today. I think the Gamestop site has a glitch because when you actually go through the order, they too are selling at £79.99. So unless you can't get the discount code to work, I think it boils down to how well Ubisoft will package the product on dispatch vs Gamestops methods (for those in UK that is).

So if I order it from ubishop,choose paypal as a form of payment and NOT pay immidiatly after ordering it will they cancel my order or anything?My copy is safely reserved without paying?
