Just got my shipping confirmation. Says estimated delivery tomorrow. I ordered with 2 day free shipping last night, so looks like it's on schedule!

Apart from not getting the game today I'm satisfied.

They paid for A and are now getting B instead. Not cool. Lousy service. Also is that how you would respond to your customers in a situation like that? What if they wanted more since they feel you've wasted their time and they're disappointed? What do you do?

I would play it on my next day off, the world will still go on and I'll still have the game.

If I was Amazon and I indeed shipped it on time, the way the customer paid for I would tell them to take it up with the carrier.

UPS came and dropped it off while I was out. Now I don't know whether to open it or keep it sealed.

I'm going to play mine. I bought it to play, not because I was hoping to would be rare

Well every Gamestop within a 10 mile radius in NYC has this in stock. I'm actually somewhat surprised.

Fair enough. One thing I will say though is that Amazon normally doesn't tell people to take it up with the carrier and neither would I in their position. The customer may not care at all even though it may be true that it's a carrier issue. It's just a part of business. If I were amazon I would issue the credits to the customers and look into the issue with the carrier. Was it avoidable? If so as Amazon I'm upset with them not the customer. If not I just take a loss and move on.

Nice shades. I bought the Deluxe edition for both reasons. Apparently I should have went with the standard. Lesson learned.

Same with my area Gamestops. Especially the "Love is Over" edition. Hmm...

No shipping confirm yet from Buy.com free ship. Still "Processing" "In the shipping process". I'll understand if they're behind or out but I will be very unhappy if they need another batch and I don't get my artbook. Thats my main fear.

To that end, Walmart is selling the game with the artbook and CD wrapped and bundled together. BB just has the game. Both have the "alternate" zoomed in "more tasteful" cover art.

I sure am keeping this off topic but that's really sad in this day and age. What is so distasteful with the cover that they wouldn't stock it?

Imagine this being a movie or music CD. Would they still not stock it? Grow up and get with it Walmart.

Finally got my tracking number. Coming from Kansas via FedEx instead of the usual fulfillment center near me in Kentucky, which is a little odd. Just curious, is everyone with delay issues getting their package from Kansas?

Yup, mine's coming from Kansas and is suppose to arrive tomorrow even though I chose release date shipping.

There's nothing to suggest the alternate cover came about because of retailers refusing to stock the game. It seemed like it was provided as a courtesy to those who wanted less heat.

Griping about censorship is such a tiring issue, especially when it comes to moves like this taking the path of least resistance without a specific villain.

Got the deluxe edition in the mail and put 2 hours into it already, extremely solid game. Reminiscent of Persona in many ways, but also incredibly unique. BUY IT

You guys see that Fry's has the deluxe for $59.96 and the regular for $49.96? It's available online as well with $5.99 shipping, so not a bad deal if you're not in a hurry!

When did you order it? I ordered mine 7/22 (free shipping also) and I got a shipment email 8:45 am this morning. They shipped it UPS.

True. Except the griping about censorship being a tiring issue thing. I like progress.

So, I'm a bit fed up with Best Buy right now.

1. I can't cancel my order, which they wouldn't let me do Store Pickup for any how (so its shipping to my house.)
2. The shipping speed sucks...but Amazon has spoiled me, I'll admit that.
3. Now the game is backordered, shipping in 1-2 weeks. I figured by now I'd have confirmation of my game shipping, but no. They've already charged my card for the total, but the game hasn't shipped from what I can tell. So, I'm not sure if I'm going to get it today, next week, or even next month with it being back-ordered!

I only ordered from them because I had certs that were close to expiring.../sigh.

7/14 is when my confirmation email is dated.
