Gone again. Unless I'm just not seeing it. Did no place get extra copies to put out?
This sold out everywhere before release. Amazon will usually have a few extra copies left post-release but those are drying up fast. Earlier today, when I made my post, there was 123 left... by the time I made my post (which took maybe 30 seconds) and submitted it, there was 4 left and I had to go back and edit my post.:lol:
I've seen it show in stock at least 4x today since the original post but couldn't add it to cart
Had one and ups left it in my backyard and it was stolen lol first time a package was stolen from me...
I think so lol there was a lot of people walking around my block too. I had the door open and I was home all day excited for it no idea way he left it in the back this time...
Just keep refreshing this page:
I never thought of that. Didn't know they'd be carrying them. Will check there tomorrow if GS doesn't have any.
I'm hoping mine is packaged properly, but I'm not expecting it to be. Amazon and GameStop really need to change their packaging practices for LE items. I already had my original order from GS delivered wrong or stolen through UPS, and of course, there is no way to replace my items.
I agree---I've already voiced my opinion that retailers should offer a premium packing/shipping upgrade for $.99 or something like that (some specialty stores like Big Bad Toy Store already offer this) but with this particular edition I'm not sure it would have helped. Depending on how the game was shipped (upside right or upside down) you're going to have the entire weight of the artbook on top of the steelbook.
Yeah, there's not much that can be done when a item is packaged poorly at the factory level, but 99% of our issues are at the retail level for sure, and those can be address if companies are willing to go that extra step. I personally can understand why no one keeps stock for losses or damages? This is something else that I feel needs to be addressed.
I've been trying to get one since Friday but 48hrs should be today not Monday right or do they not consider release day as hold time? Idk why I didn't preorder this.
I don't believe the release day counts, because it's mandatory for them to hold it for the release date, and then they grant you 48 hours of grace period to let you pick up the item. At least, that's how it works with typical releases on Tuesday around here, wherein they won't sell them until Friday.
but what happens if the person paid it off fully before the release date? does that 48 hrs still apply?
AFAIK, they're not required (by company policy) to hold the games beyond the "48 hours" rule. If you reserved it and they sell your copy, you'll get whatever money you put towards it if they don't have a copy for you (or can't track down a copy from another nearby GS).
I have to wonder why Newegg put up 3,000 of them for sale on Ebay for $45 on the weekend the game was released, especially with how much they actually will pull in after the Ebay and Paypal fees, and free shipping. Seems like the overstocked on the title or something. I wonder if they could've moved 3,000 on their own site by selling it for the same price.
That was a promotional sale. Sometimes, eBay will partner up with some of their bigger stores and give them a deep discount on fees if they cut the price of an item. It's a way for eBay to advertise a sale and for Newegg to get new customers.
