I just went through their whole list of games and picked out what did not have a ".99" at the end of it--things that had some strange number on the pricing. I left out one that was like $60 though. I think all of the deals they are offering have some strange number of price on them.

They locked my post I made about 1 minute after Scorch and I gave permission to him to copy what wasn't there:

Buy multiple titles. Two titles were only $6 shipping. I guess three titles would probably be $7.

This site is not very well-organized and does not seem well-maintained. I haven't seen any of these games get updated and changed to "backordered" yet -- some probably should have been by now. So I doubt they have an integrated online store/inventory system. I think that many people will get disappointed come Monday, and us.playstation.com will have fun dealing with this massive increase in orders.

Well...

its the same thing....
if you bought burnout for 50 within a week or 2....
opened it up and played it... you cant return that copy for a refund.... because its open... thats how anything in the retail world works.

but if you got another copy still unopened... just return that one.
dont let the morality police tell you otherwise.

its an object with a barcode. it will be the same item.... same number... there is no way to tell if it was from gamestop or ps.com... assuming there was no sticker on the one from gamestop... but that shouldnt matter anyway... people remove stickers all the time.

order the cheaper one... and return it at gamestop at with your reciept.

thats life. thats how we save money. thats being cheapass.

Because they're.. not? This is playstation.com, dude. They MAKE the games.

If they were backordered, someone would've said it by now.. or the site would've changed.

Now when I get to the website it says that We're sorry. The server is too busy. Please try again later.
If this problem persists, please call technical support at 1-800-345-SONY. Please use your browser's back button or please return to the PlayStation.com home page.

My guess is that the influx from CAG and GFAQs (not to mention any other deals associated website, i.e. fatwallet, bytesizedeals) is starting to overload there system and now the backorders will start..and I had just found enough change to buy something :(

All right, dumb question. For those of you who know the legalities: If I pre-order Phantom Brave knowing full well that it's back-ordered and playstation.com fills the order let's say 25 days from now, can they change the price on me? I'm specifically worried that I will order the darn thing for $27 and then find out that I was charged $53.86 + shipping after all. I want to say that if I order I "lock" in the price, but maybe that's just my delusions speaking.

My order for Phantom Brave, Burnout 3, Viewtiful Joe, Terminator 3: Redemption, and Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires, placed at 11:26AM states "Sourced" for each item. Clicking on "Sourced" pops up a window that states "Processing
This item has gone to the supplier to process. Additional status will be provided shortly."

I ordered Burnout 3 at 5:30 PM when everybody started saying it was backordered, But I haven't got an Email saying it was backordered and it says "sourced" on the site....

I wonder if being part of the GAP does anything for you because it is the Playstation.com site....

^ maybe it does. Maybe being part of the GAP gives us first dibs on games. I dont think it wouldnt matter to me though because I got my Burnout 3 order in at like 10:45 this morning pacific time.

Are you serious? My receipt says Sept 2, so it's been longer than 14 days. Are you sure that isn't their used return policy? Most places let you do returns after 30 days, but I do realize that this is EB we are talking about....

What's GAP?

Gamer Advisory Panel....

It's kinda like a special, invitiation only, survey group for SCEA....

And it is highly affliated with the Playstation.com site, so I am hoping it has an effect on whether I get my game or not....

Most likely not, but One can hope.....

The return policy for EBGames.com says 30 days:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/help/shipping/returnPolicy.asp

It is the EB.com return policy however, but I'm sure it'll hold-up for in-store purchases as well.

(it did come out on the 31st but I didn't pick it up until a few days after)

Speaking of which, I work in the Accountancy Dept at OU, and my boss asked me to make an Accts Rec. call to some guy who owed money for using some of the facilities or something, and I have to say, making Bill collector calls is a LOT of fun. I absolutely LOVE how people freak out and start yelling when they realize that they have to pay money when they buy something. Timeless.

Burnout 3, Viewtiful Joe, and Phantom Brave backorder notices for me... nothing on ESPN Hockey or Dynasty Warriors (the two games I could easily live without, of course). Hopefully, they will restock the games before 30 days is up, but I have a feeling they're not going to (automatic cancellation after 30 days... read the bottom part of the email).

I know, as long as I get them EVENTUALLY I don't mind, I have plenty of stuff to play for the time being, and it'd be quite awhile before this stuff got quite that cheap at retail anyway.

i ordered it like at 2 yesterday, and the posts began like at 12. I was probably some of the earliest ppl to have gotten burnout 3, so does back order have any concern to me. they also sent me a notification like 5 minutes after i ordered.

Admiral Ackbar
09-26-2004, 11:26 AM

It means they don't actually have any in stock. They've sold them all.

They expect to get more from their supplier. But if the supplier is OOS or won't give it to them for the cheap price then the orders may be cancelled.

Personally, I have DW:4 sourced and PB backordered. I hope that because I have one sourced that means if the other comes through then I'll get first dibs.

You can probably stop posting that now, we get the point. I don't think that any of us are naive enough to think that our orders are sure things. There is, however, still a chance they will honor them. To continuously post that the orders will get cancelled is almost as annoying as the people who no doubt will be pissed off and threaten to boycott and contact the BBB if they do get cancelled.

You are entitled to your opinion, which I admit may be correct, but one post is enough.

This is the first time I've ordered from them. If they cancel my order, I'll simply never order from the again. I don't see how these could be pricing errors since so many game titles are 'sale' priced. Got my fingers crossed. I hope they come thru.

And VGTalk (there is an actual member on the IGN named VGTalk who I guess is the owner who ONLY posts on IGN to post deals that advertise his site and post referral links on deals) posted it on IGN's PS2 board without giving credit to CAG of course.

Last time I tried to report it to the mods on IGN because I explained the only reason VGTalk registered on IGN was to spam the boards to advertise their site and post the referral links and what happened? I got PM's from other users saying how wrong I was to report them because all they are doing is helping out the community by posting these deals. :roll:
