I went to the Best Buy in Towson, MD yesterday when I saw they had copies in stock while checking online. They only had 3 (so I was told) and I had the last one. There was a lady who looked VERY razzled about getting her copy. I pre-ordered\paid for mine last week and received a email my game was ready last Friday but wasn't in stock. After a call to CS, we both agreed it was a error and I was ok waiting. I'm glad I checked on it yesterday myself, because the system wouldn't have alerted the store to contact me and I would have been SOL. I'm not about pointing blame or anything, however this was just bad on Nintendo's end. I'm glad I was pro-active and didn't wait around.

amazon is starting to piss me off... i called them up monday and asked them about this and talked to a higher up and i got this responce in a email




In addition to our large selection, one of the benefits we try very hard to offer our customers is convenience. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced in this case.

've set a reminder to call you back on Wednesday regarding our conversation today.

I appreciate your patience while I continue to work on this matter.

I look forward to speaking to you again soon.

Thank you for your inquiry. Did I solve your problem?





never got a call today......

Just picked mine up finally.
The guy tried giving me a dumb excuse as to why I wasn't getting the artbook with my game today he told me I pre-ordered before the cutoff date and that he ordered extra copies so I had to come back next week. Before I paid it off he was like screw it and he gave me one. I was like happy that I actually got one the guy is pretty cool I was always talk to him when I pick up games.
Yea I think I also got the last copy from the batch of pre-orders he said the only got 4 copies out of the 13 and other people have to wait a couple more days to get a copy.

Apparently Best Buy got some in stock and I ordered off BB.com, try checking there. Still waiting on shipping confirmation but they said they are preparing my copy to ship. Amazon has great deals on games but clueless reps sometimes, lol.

Holy shit..BB shipped mind out yesterday and it came today.

I got my in-store pickup copy from Gamestop today. Didn't receive a call or text or email. I called and they only had one copy left but five artbooks?

This is standard GS BS for "your not getting it, but i dont want to deal with you so come back when someone else is working". Believe me, if you didnt get your book then and there, you wouldnt get one next week. Employees/managers dont have the power to order extra preorder stuff, half the time they dont even know its coming. You got one because you are a regular customer and the guy knows you, only way to get anything done at GS.

I also got a BS amazon "we try to sell you convenience" email. I told them 1 day shipping does nothing to help me here, yet they are now asking if my case is solved..I know its not their fault, but they arent helping their case either.

That is because the games are coming in waves. There wasn't enough to fill all the pre-orders at my store when I was working tonight. Luckily, I left my pre-order up (got it at Target) so an extra would be allocated to someone who didn't get one.

Just received an email from GameStop. My FE bundle finally shipped.

Me too. Unfortunately, it looks like they are shipping the art book separately which means it will likely be sent in a padded pouch and arrive damaged.

My GS manager said my copy would come in Friday and assured me an artbook...we'll see.

How can you tell it's shipping separately? I just got my email too.

Edit: NM just checked my email. It says the art book also shipped with the bundle

I ordered the bundle from Gamestop.com and they finally started the shipping process today which is annoying since I paid extra for faster shipping thinking it would be here already.

Picked up my copy at Gamestop today, they were surprised that I had a preorder, apparently they had only 1 copy left and another preorder to fill. Since I was there the manager said it was mine and the other guy would need to wait, got my art book too. Feel kinda bad for the other guy but I'm sure if it was the other way around they'd give it to him if he arrived first.

When did you guys order? My 12/22/12 order hasn't shipped at all.

Free shipping? What did it come under UPS? Everytime I order from BB it comes USPS and is slow as .

Order still in can't be canceled phase so I am pretty sure I got a copy. I will feel relief once I see your order has shipped.

Yea when he told me that I knew for sure I wasn't getting one. They told me the same thing about the ZoE pre-order poster.

The guy does recognize me he's really cool but don't get why he told me to come next week. I don't think he wanted one himself since they were enough from what I saw to give out to all the pre-orders.

I never received a call either from GameStop about my pre-order. I just called when they opened this morning, found out they got their shipment, and fired right over. The guy totally forgot about the artbook, and thanked me when I reminded him about it, lol. I love my GameStop.

Hmmm, to order from best buy using a rewards certificate, or wait for amazon to ship it out and hopefully compensate us with some amazon credit.

Just got my copy at the local Walmart here in Chesapeake, VA. They had 3 left when i left the store. So I would check Walmart if you are still looking since they seem to be getting in copies now. The Target and BB near me have none still.
