Got my shipping notice from Best Buy as well. Didn't look good for a while...it showed as out of stock when I checked yesterday.I just got my shipping notice from Best Buy. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: Just got my shipping notice from VGP at the same time, too late to cancel one. Looks like I'm going to end up with two copies, in case anyone here gets ed over on their preorder.
I'm with you on this one. I emailed Aksys about the packaging. If everything comes inside a nice big box, maaaaybe I'd be tempted. But I wouldn't be surprised if this was loose on the side type deal.Gah, I think that game looks interesting, and I think I'd buy a LE for it in heartbeat. But the things it comes with are some the worst extras I've ever seen come with a game. Seriously, so bad I'm wary of getting the standalone game...
That's one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard. I'd have spoken with the store manager right away so that he/she could arrange to have a new one shipped from warehouse. Not a single competent EB Games employee would ever gut something and create unnecessary work for themselves; they already have more work than they can handle with the meager labour hours allocated to them.Well . It's looking like this is a for real *Limited* Edition, and EB screwed me over. My store only got a few copies, and they gutted all of them for fun. I didn't want a gutted copy, so I had my clerk call the nearest EB to check for stock and put one on hold. I cancelled my preorder and proceeded to the next EB, only to find out they had no LE's available, just the regular version.... That EB phoned around more for me, and every local EB is soldout of the LE. I went back to the first EB to grudgingly take the gutted copy, and they wouldn't give it to me, cause they had more preorders than their allocation covered, and my preorder was cancelled so I was at the back of the line...
Here's hoping BB stocks it shortly, so I can swing in and grab a copy off the shelf.
Glad to hear it! It's really a gamble with BB/FS though, but at least you can just return them no questions asked.My Best Buy copy arrived today in beautiful shape. It was in one of those stiff cardboard envelopes.
Same...received my copy on Monday. I was surprised how good a job the envelope did protecting.My Best Buy copy arrived today in beautiful shape. It was in one of those stiff cardboard envelopes.
Same here too. Mine came in surprisingly good shape. Now I need to return a copy from EB unless someone wants it.Same...received my copy on Monday. I was surprised how good a job the envelope did protecting.
