They usually don't mark things as "no longer available" because people can always cancel orders, it's why there's a waitlist. I wonder if they got a lot of complaints about the shipping cost and made it unavailable until they fix it. Unlikely, but just a thought.

 

I know this may be an odd thing to say, though can any store charge ANYTHING they want for shipping? Or is it even legal to make up a random price for shipping? A friend told me shipping was $20 for a plain copy of the FF remaster. I didn't believe him, there's no way a physical disc copy that weighs not even 100g costs that much to ship.

I can corroborate that--the cheapest shipping option I saw was $24 for "Express", and that was the main reason I decided to pass. Agreed that there's no way a PS4 game case should cost that much to ship.

Yeah I just missed the shipping email; label was created Nov. 5 but Fed Ex didn’t get the package until last week.

SquareEnix uses UPS, and from what I can see those are normal rates.

 

Standard 3-7 days $5.99+

Express 2 days $23.99+

Overnight $31.99+

 

What's upsetting people is that standard shipping wasn't offered for the Pixel Remaster.

Unbelievable. 

 

This is so disappointing.  and then they leave out the hardcover book from the JP version and charge the same price, $300 after shipping.  I hate this company so much.  Wish they'd go under and someone else normal acquires them at this point.  But the financial success of FF14 is going to supplant the rest of their failed enterprises for eternity it would seem. 

 

We already own all these games (on previous platforms)....would it really have been so hard, or so bad, to do something nice for the fans to celebrate the anniversary? Instead of using it as yet another vehicle to price gouge your fans for the umpteenth time. 

I want Yoshi-P to take over as president so they can get some real change going. I'd rather buy Chained Echoes for $25 to support an excellent game even though I have it free on Game Pass than support this shitter company anymore. Their refusal to commit multi-platform support for all their games makes the choice even easier.

Don't see any I think they already sold out. Were they really restocked?

Yes, I even saw the standard PS4 edition available, but by the time I got to the cart, it had sold out again.

Still extremely scammy of them. Those are personal rates as well, not negotiated corporate rates. And there's no reason they can't offer standard shipping.

Companies can charge whatever they want to ship a package. Dont like it then don't buy it.

You are welcome. Hopefully the guy asking if companies are allowed to charge shipping at whatever rate they like is also similarly helped.

SE has been scummy for years now, nobody should be surprised by any of this.

 I am since I never ordered from them before. I didn't know the base game for the FF remaster was square exclusive, I figured since it's just a plain copy it would be available nationwide.

Nier Replicant CE was like $11 to ship lol. I wonder if they disabled standard shipping when they had their holiday sale and just never turned it back on.

I agree the shipping is outrageous but maybe they did away with standard shipping bc packages were delivered best to high hell-- my nier collector's edition was

That still doesn't explain why the standard edition shipping cost is more than anniversary. My guess is those anniversary edition contents cost very little to produce so they're already going to be making a killing in profits for those, but need a way to make a killing for the standard, and that's to way overcharge for shipping.

This is like the 400th time of them rereleasing the same goddamn ROMs

These can run on a period test at this point, you might as well wait until you can play FF pixel shit directly from your brain via neuralink.

This is like skyrim tier of begging for donations at this point from squenix, damn. Are you going to buy again when 7 is remixed into the list? When it's 1-8? When it's 1-9? I don't get the huge interest in the rehash of incomplete packs over and over again. It's not even unfeasible to fit 1-12 on the same disc at this point

Picked up my final fantasy crisis core preorder at bestbuy. Got home and noticed there is a dent and a spine slash on the steelbook. Out of stock online and no store has it either. 

 

Would you keep it even though its damaged or just return it? It won't most likely come back in stock again.

Keep it as a "Battle-Damaged Edition". Thematically the dent and spine-slash make sense.

Normally I'd say return it but since best buy goofed and made them available to purchase separately they are pretty hard to find. If it doesn't bother you too much then keep it.

Hmm not sure what happened with Octopath Traveler II, all listings on all platforms for this game has been delisted from Bestbuy

On the same note of delisting, Crisis Core steelbooks are delisted too

So its weird i went to preorder Octopath 2 to get the steel book from best buy and it was delisted on the US site.

edit: seems it was already mention it sucks i missed it.


Per Wario, the Octopath steelbooks are back.

Kicking myself for buying this day 1... anyone know if this falls under Gamestop's extended return policy? I preordered it when it was first up but I'm wondering if I can return it because the delivery date falls in their extended holiday return window.

Can always attempt an in-store order if you live close to one.

Had no idea this was coming to the states...  looking forward to it.

 

And I really hope the SB is individually wrapped. I only ever gotten a few SBs from GS (Ni No Kuni, FF7 Remake Intergrade, and Lost Judgment) and all were covered in scratches/scuffs/dents since they weren't individually wrapped. Most SBs I get are from BB and I think most of theirs come individually wrapped (Cyberpunk is the only one I can think of that wasn't individually wrapped).

It should, since the release date should be considered the actual purchase date.
