I've asked an EB representative, they say that all the online allocations have been sold (in literally less than an hour)., it says not available now.... I'll have to try in-store preorder tomorrow.
You're mistaking GameStop for EB Games Canada. I wish EB Games would sell rare, brand-new games.Really, GameStop? This is what you're offering? When it said "exclusive limited edition", I didn't think that would mean less than an hour of actual availability. EFF.
Don't worry guys. There will be "used" copies available in complete and excellent condition for only a $40 markup in no time.
Gotta love a good box.
Actually, I was thinking of resellers who purchased this with no intent of playing in the first place... but you've got a good point.
My EB told me it wasn't even in there system yet. Manager said "oh yea we got an email about it or something" Yet they had nothing on it, i don't know if that means my store isn't getting any or if that just means they were sold out already.
Physical goods tend to appreciate better and easier to transfer than digital if you decide to sell in the future.
Totally makes sense. Though, really, I don't think a lot of people (especially ones here) are buying these things with the plan to sell. Lots of folks have figurine collections and the like, I've just never understood the appeal.
I wandered in today having just heard about this. Supposedly the instore preorder date was circulated online in advance, my EB had a lineup at opening, and apparently every shop in my town was pre-soldout within an hour of opening.
It's pretty hard to tell what Nintendo's thinking at times. We still need a proper reprint of Xenoblade, not this new supply of "used" copies at gamestop that they were selling for $90. They also reprinted Super Mario All-Stars, after selling out quickly, as well as with Fire Emblem: Awakening. In the case of FE:A though, I'm not sure if that was just an unprecedented demand for Fire Emblem or if there was just a short stock shortage cause of a delay in a 2nd shipment for w/e reason. I could see there being a 2nd printing of this just cause of how fast it sold out and how unavailable it was.
They actually wrote the instore preorder date on the title of the game online. It was no secret.
Except from people that have lives and don't watch the internet. That's kinda the point of pre-ordering, so you don't have to lineup to get things.
WHAT?
I didn't say I'd skip the game, but buying a vanilla re:release of a game I've already played and still own, doesn't make me buy a console...
I'd totally bite on that console, if it actually came with the game and not some worthless download code. As is you're basically just buying it for paint on a controller that's irreplaceable.
, if I bought that I simply wouldn't use it because it'd just get wornout, thus making it a waste of my money and closet space.I ordered one too and I was kinda of thinking the same thing. Haven't been hit with import fees in awhile so I rolled the dice. My local store was still saying they are sold out so this was a much better option then the $150 on ebay right now.
I saw this.
The regular copies also have a gold cover; this is nothing more than a regular copy in a cheap box with a cheap figure. You may as well go ahead and get the regular version.
Yep, I saw that shortly after my posting that comment.
Well, I got nailed with $18 in tax/brokerage. If I knew the US Gamestop was going to UPS it up here I wouldn't have had it shipped over the boarder. UPS is the worst option for sending stuff up here.
Oh dear lord.... mine is coming monday from them and if I've gotta pay that I'm just dumping it onto ebay and getting my money back. ugh.
