Did you find the closing stores from that blog site or some other way? I'm guessing that list is very incomplete since it's only based off of social media and local articles.

Can anyone confirm if Animal Crossing or any other preorders work for the 20% bonus?

For anyone having trouble using gift cards/trade credit to pay in full, consider sending an email to [email protected] and letting them know this isn't an isolated issue. It wouldn't surprise me if GameStop corporate has no clue there's a problem. If enough people complain, they might...

So you were finally able to order online using trade credit? Every order I've tried with trade credit, gift card, or a combination has been automatically declined since Wednesday night.

Anyone ever had any luck getting a pre-order bonus through corporate customer service when a store runs out? I don't really want to get my store in trouble since it's the best one in the area, but they only had enough card & sticker sets to cover a third of their pre-orders.

Did they ship in a single package from the warehouse or in multiple packages from stores? If they came in a single package, did they use a box or bubble mailer?

And even if you buy 2 of each, you're not guaranteed a "rare" frisbee.

Madden, FIFA, and NBA have actually been OOS for weeks on Amazon. It looks like they never intended to stock a big chunk of the games that were on sale elsewhere.

The frisbee is currently for sale on Fangamer for $12. That's probably the most disappointing thing for me. When I consider buying CEs, I want items that are 100% exclusive and can't be bought any other way.

I wouldn't count on it with Ys. They posted on NeoGAF earlier today saying that their still concerned about Ys selling well due to the existence of the Asian version. It sounds like they probably erred on the extreme side of caution when choosing a print run again.

There's a video on Youtube showing the sellout in real-time, and they dropped the limit to 1 on the standard at just over two minutes into the sale. I think that's the first time they've done that mid-sale.

From the cart, do you click the black Checkout button or go straight to the yellow Paypal or Amazon Pay links?

That was only their third release, and they hadn't built a large devoted following yet. Their previous two releases were only 1,500 and 4,480, so to jump to 7,500 combined for Oddworld was a major step. Also, only the PS4 version lasted a day, and it sold out almost instantly after they lifted...

I never would've predicted this would end up being one of their fastest sellouts. Not counting the Dariusburst LE, this is right up there with Shantae in terms of total availability (~10 minutes).
