[Amazon] Tales of Symphonia Chronicles: Collector's Edition ($99.99)- PlayStation 3 Preorder is up

[quote name="Gearstin" post="11583748" timestamp="1394038092"]It's a lazy port. 30fps instead of 60 like the GC. That's the only problem I have with it. That and many scenes and skits are not voice acted unless it is played in Japanese..[/quote]

You expected them to go back and add voice acting to an hd remaster? Lmao

Cancelled my amazon order and got one from Gamestop. Small tear in the shrinkwrap, but it's all good because I plan on opening it and playing it anyway. Good luck to everyone that's still looking for one

I contacted Amazon and some gal said that they will have enough for those that order when oos so don't worry about it being cancelled. That is reassuring to say the least. No idea how they got more but at this point it doesnt matter to me. Plus Amazon got the best inventory system.

 
Ordered shortly after the restock went oos on amazon. My order updated today to "preparing for shipment" and is expected to arrive on the 11th.

Ah that's good for all of you that stayed with their amazon oos orders. I have my copy and now someone else can get the one from the order i cancelled (if it actually runs out) :)

 
i got mine today was in a box with bubble wrap logs,  no dents, looked good. number 17833/18000

so least for me, it still part of the 18000 made.

 
I ordered during that brief Namco restock. I got the notice of shipping last night, and it arrived today. It came in a box that was a little bigger than the CE. It had no padding whatsoever, and could slide around in 2 dimensions but not the 3rd, if you understand what I'm saying. It still arrived in fine condition. 908/18000.

I got mine today too.

No bubble wrap in my package either. Somehow, it miraculously wasn't damaged.

I'm glad my order wasn't canceled this time around (i posted when namco restocked so I got my order in before most people).

 
Every time I see you post (sig), I wish May would come sooner for Drakengard 3. Wonder what bonus 3 is going to be?
I dislike how they added some of the DLC from the CE edition, but all still good since it's just a hat. I got the import so hoping to rock out the DLC this weekend. also ordered myself the CE :]

 
I just got an email from amazon. It says estimated delivery date march 11.

Placed an order when it said temp OOS

...I guess they did get more o_O

 
Yeah, no way I can justify the extra $60 for four figures, two incomplete soundtrack CDs, and a booklet. That's nuts. To give you an idea, those figures, part of a line called "Ichiban Kuji" here in Japan, generally have a market value of roughly $5 each.
Well to me, I see it as a deal. You're also omitting what you actually get:

  • 5 Chibi Tales of Symphonia Chronicles Figurines
  • Tales of Symphonia Chronicles Multi-Disc music soundtrack
  • Tales of Symphonia Chronicles printed novel
  • Collector's Packaging featuring exclusive artwork by ufotable
  • Tales of Symphonia Chronicles Steelbook Case
  • Exclusive Tales of Symphonia Chronicles DLC Theme
  • Numbered and limited to 15,000 units
  • Tales of Symphonia Chronicles PS3 Game
For me that's worth more than $99, but to each their own.

 
My amazon order will be here tomorrow and my namco order was supposed to be here today but UPS ground is acting like dillholes again. It showed in my town at 2 pm today, then showed no delivery due to extreme weather, and is now showing in earth city missouri which is almost 3.5 hours away.

To make this even better I had not 1, not 2, not 3....but 5 packages show up today by UPS ground. I talk to the driver from time to time, I think I will ask him what their major malfunction has been recently.

I'm intensely curious to see how these both fit into the 18,000 printed number.

To me these are the price I would pay for for each. Not to mention the standard in it is better than the regular standards with reversible artwork and full colored manual. I was about to pass on it but saw the reversible and manual. The way they package the CD is also awesome too and not just in a paper sleeve or worst digitally.

Also for those that is getting them when OoS from amazon, please let us know if they are numbered. I got a nasty feeling these could reprints but with the content and packaging from the Europe release.

You're nuts if you think that less than two weeks from release they are shipping out reprinted copies of a CE which they, following that logic, decided to make, then made, then shipped, within two weeks of the launch of the original print of the CE. Especially if you think the contents of the CE will be different from what was originally released, and that Namco didn't decide to tell anyone the contenets would be different.

Hmm, i don't think amazon would waste time/money on repacking the game. even more so with 5,000 copies of the game

that amazon has on hand.

if it was reprint it would be all over the internet. "Reprinting of TOS CE!!, fuck you flipper's!!"

Hmmm, if it was a reprint Namco and/or GameStop will have it in stock.

but that's just what i think, i have "NO" idea of how the business in the retail video game world operates.

What is much more likely is that Namco failed to get some of their stock out on time(believe somebody else mentioned this previously) and that there were the usual pre-orders that got cancelled and those combined to get another couple hundred, maybe a thousand "new" orders.

That makes sense.

 
Didn't it do the same thing with the BD CE and they cancelled a bunch of the late orders?
I still have my bravely default CE on order from amazon from Feb 7th that says "We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

I think amazon is just poorly run and doesn't realize they aren't getting any more and I don't think they will get any more of this game either. Same reason they let people buy 10 OF THEM at a time when it's so rare.

yea because you should always trust some amazon girl from a third world country that doesn't know anything about limited collectors editions.

My friend just contacted them as well and now the answer is quite a contrast from the one I received. Poor grammar skills so I'm going to protect his/her name in case someone from his family reads this.

Hello,

I just wanted to send you a quick follow up response on our chat.

I Understand you want us to provide information whether the item which you've ordered will be shipped even though it is out of stock. I've checked your order #XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX for the item and see that the item which you've ordered is out of stock with us. We can't predict exactly when/if will have more inventory for the item which you've ordered. Since you've already placed an order for the item we'll do our best to get the item for you, and we'll e-mail you as soon as we have more information from our suppliers.

However, I've also forwarded the order details to the specialist team about it. You'll receive an email confirmation from them soon.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best regards,
XxXxX X.

Anyone know if items shipped via DR usually have active tracking numbers right away?

An order from them I checked on findmyorder.com gives tracking, but it says unavailable and it was shipped a day ago.

If you used the standard/free shipping then the answer is no. It typically won't update accurately until it's been handed off to USPS in your region (3-5 days after you get a shipping notice)

 
I just placed an order on amazon for the CE. It says it's temporarily sold out. I figured its a better chance than not ordering it since I missed preorders. I wish I never got rid of my GameCube version years back.
 
Heads-up: I have continued to look at Gamestops to see if any near me suddenly have one available for store pick-up, and one did this morning. I'd recommend continuing to keep an eye out; chances seem slim, but it is possible.

I just want to correct you and the other guy, there are 18,000 units.

 
My order shipped late last night, can't wait! Hopefully it gets here this week.
I envy you so much. Mine and people who ordered later oos are likely going to get cancelled unless people that ordered it while in stock cancel their own order... I'm banging my head right now as I ordered it when it first announced but decided to back off because of the price. That was before I saw the actual packaging.

did you check your order status today yet?

I check like every minute.... still.

Delivery estimate We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.

It's gonna get canned and I'm gonna cry like a kid losing a game of CoD.

Try GameStop store locater.

 
Just a heads up the bandai namco site has limited quantities in stock ordered one but don't get your hopes up maybe idk never ordered from them but i heard about the ni no kuni incident
 
Yesterday i manage to pick up 2 copy from local gamestop, good number too, 1958 and 1689.  debating which one to open lol.  And today every copy is gone from the city. 

 
Ordered, better than watching the grass grow waiting on Amazon.

I have ordered now three times from DR and the first two times were painless...

Thanks! Ordered one. What the heck is going on with this? The stock keeps on going off and on. For 18000, this shouldn't be the case.

 
Namco store restock order just came in. Like other people have said they threw it in a slightly larger box with no packing material.

00949/18000

well im sure its released stock from the cancelled orders from last week. I just got my 2 today from them even though i tried to cancel after i got some from amazon. the ones i got from the namco store were numbered in the 900's, this means literally nothing to me but im sure it does to some other people
