Go read the fourth post from the bottom on page 26.

Thanks alot for the quick reply. I think I will just stick with bestbuy. Its $10 less savings but at BB i get some extra dlc to compensate at least. Im happy with $40 and potentially trading it in for near what I paid.

Wow, misread the MS email andthought I was getting free shipping, not a free game. Gotta admit that MS really went above and beyond in correcting this snafu. Kudos.

Might do this for Assassins Creed 3, thats a nice deal. I want to get black ops 2 also, but they dont seem to have the hardened edition. -_-

Actually i might just get ACIII, then use the 10 dollar code on Blops 2 regular edition, then use that 10 dollar code on $20 ms points. So ACIII, Blops II + $60 dollars in MS points for 126 after taxes. Thats like getting 60 dollars in MS points for 6 dollars.

If i order blops 2 from MS store ill still get the nuketown 2025 map right?

I got a cancellation email but I received an email from UPS that microsoft sent me a package. Nothing official from microsoft, but they have already sent to according to UPS

I went ahead and ordered Fable: The Journey. I was going to end up playing that game sooner or later (really can't stop playing Fable games) and with the $10 coupon and the free points it's really not that bad of a deal. Not to mention free shipping.

Hey LilJrSanchez, great job keeping such a massive thread up to date instead of abandoning it. Very much appreciated. /end sarcasm

Dishonored

My order was cancelled, but has since been reinstated.
I got an e-mail, saying so, along with a confirmation that
I'd be getting a $10 store credit, and 1600 MS points.

As far as my Borderlands 2 extras are concerned....:
A few days ago, they said that I was entitled to them,
and that they were working on the issue.

I really hope that this problem, with their store, is fixed,
for future purchases.

Got a delivery alert from UPS, looks like Fable was sent out Next Day and will be here some time today. I'm fairly impressed with how far they've gone to resolve the situation, definitely much more than I expected.

I just got a UPS delivery alert for today from Microsoft Store. Looks like we're getting all that free AND release day delivery

Nice.

Edit:I got a phone call a little while ago from the customer service rep I spoke to yesterday afternoon. He reiterated what the emails from last night said, apologized again, and said the game should go out today or tomorrow. I'm impressed that he called.

Over the weekend, I received codes for the MS points and 10 dollars in credit. While the code for the MS points worked, I attempted to order another 1600 point card with the ten dollars.

After the order was confirmed, I waited for an hour and went to check my status. and it says the order was 'Declined by System'. I tried to order again and it now would say 'the code has been used the maximum amount of times.'

Attempted to email them but no response, I guess I'm gonna have to call them this weekend. Sucks though.

Hmmm so is this just bad luck for you or do you think we cant use the 10 coupon on 1600 point cards?

Is this deal available within the Microsoft Stores themselves? Because I'd much rather drive to the closest one to me than have to wait 3-7 days for the game I want to order.

I think some other people confirmed it worked eariler in the thread, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. Maybe it was just my credit card, but I'll find out for sure when I'm able to contact them.

Western NY. The first UPS delivery alert e-mail came through just before 1AM last night.

I never got a UPS confirmation email but my game was just delivered a little while ago.

I too had ordered both Fable and Dishonored, and got the cancellation emails. After reading here, I decided to let Microsoft work at it for a while, because I had a busy day, and didn't have time to complain to them. Last night I got the "your orders have been reinstated, and we're giving you the games for free", and this morning, I got my delivery from UPS.

It was a bit stressful to have the cancellation emails come through on games about to be released, but to have them reinstated was good, and to have both of the games be free (plus coupons) is awesome. Microsoft effectively just gave me $110 worth of games.

Hands down, this is the best response I have seen to a pre-order screw up.

I didn't realize that Fable got the same free treatment. I almost ordered the game. I never use my Kinect and figured I'd never play the game.
