euklyd Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Any of you who has tried to obtain Xenoblade in the past year or two is probably familiar with the vast array of problems with actually obtaining it.Some of you are aware that Gamestop is selling pre-owned copies for MSRP as a Black Friday sale online today (Thursday) and tomorrow, so, selling it for 39.99 USD, which is a far cry better than ~70 USD.So I go to order it.Get through all the steps: checkout, billing, shipping, confirmation...Fucking "Undefined: Order Submission Error" message.Sooo pissed.(Email sent to customer support, probably gonna try and go in to the physical store tomorrow, blah-blah-blah, but still, pisses me off).I'm not even sure why I'm telling you guys this. Meh. Well I guess there's a takeaway:tl;dr - Gamestop.com is selling Xenoblade at a reasonable price for Black Friday, have fun Success! Just got it at a physical store nearby today, yay~ tl;dr v2 - Buy it in a physical store if you still can today!

Komeiji Koishi Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Ouch, and Xenoblade easily sells for at least 60 dollars these days, you have my condolences, good sir. Hope you can get it sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 You know, come to think of it, it was about exactly a year ago i wound up with that game. I must have been seriously lucky considering i bought it on a whim. I bought it new and there was a used copy at my Gamestop too. The difference in price was like five bucks so i just said "the hell with it. Ill get the new one." I had no idea the game would be so hard to get a hold of. (it was fifty big ones for my copy which was the average price for a new Wii game at the time.) Good luck, mang. The game is worth it.

euklyd Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 So I've heard. It's basically the one game all my friends have been telling me I have to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 More like Gameslop. Man, I never knew Xenoblade was worth a lot of money. I still don't regret buying a 2DS and Pokemon X over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroudening Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Trying to get a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles is ridiculous. Last time I checked, there wasn't a single GameStop that had the game within my entire state. I might as well check again today, but I don't plan on going out of my way to buy it.

SB. Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 More like Gameslop. Or Lamestop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I feel like a superior human being because I own xenoblade since its american launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I had to end up paying a lot of money for Xenoblade, and I still haven't got around to finishing it. It's ridiculously pricy. I also want the Metroid Prime Trilogy, but $200, fuck that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasz Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Euklyd, I tried pre-ordering Xenoblade through their website last year, and I must have tried doing that four times before I caved and decided to buy it in the store. They just don't let you buy it online, for whatever reason. Thankfully, Black Friday sales for all stores extend into tomorrow, so you have at least one more day to grab it (or you can grab it later today, if you find the time). But yeah, Xenoblade is a must-buy for any Wii owner. It's one of, if not the best game on the system. Get it, get it, GET IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monde Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) So I go to order it. Get through all the steps: checkout, billing, shipping, confirmation... Fucking "Undefined: Order Submission Error" message. Sooo pissed. (Email sent to customer support, probably gonna try and go in to the physical store tomorrow, blah-blah-blah, but still, pisses me off). Oh god the same thing happened when I was ordering Pokemon X. They really need to improve their shitty system. Edited November 29, 2013 by Monde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[11/29/13 10:23:03 PM] Euklyd: It just ate like three hours of my life and I'll never get them back. [11/29/13 10:23:19 PM] Gorgar: You'll soon lose many more. [11/29/13 10:23:24 PM] Euklyd: This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't supposed to be writing a Research Paper. [11/29/13 10:23:26 PM] kevin picard: MUCH more [11/29/13 10:23:40 PM] Euklyd: BUT LIKE IT'S SO GOOD [11/29/13 10:23:45 PM] Euklyd: ;_; Also I almost missed a deadline for an online quiz and so almost lost like 10 points because of it...

Karasz Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) I believe those of us who have played it should have mentioned that if you plan on playing it for awhile, you better be in it for the long haul. And I truly mean that. Sure, the main quest will take you a while at most, but you're going to want to do side quests to unlock additional content, and you're gonna want to explore every nook and cranny of every region to discover anything and everything you can find...which is a lot of stuff. Plus, there's party affinity, level grinding, rare monsters and items, and endless amounts of character customization to think about. I'm not kidding when I say my first playthrough of Xenoblade took me 113 hours and 15 minutes. The game is THAT extensive...more so than a Final Fantasy game. You better be prepared to waste many hours of your life trying to do everything you can in the game...you're going to need all the time you can get.

Exactly. This is why Holiday Break is a thing. I hope my family isn't expecting me to be celebrating Christmas with them; I'll be too busy playing and finishing Xenoblade! ... ... ... ... ...oh and Baten Kaitos. And then starting and finishing Baten Kaitos: Origins. And of course A Link Between Worlds. Maybe LEGO Marvel Superheroes. Possibly another playthrough of WW, but this time in HD. More Pokemon Y of course. Still need to finish FE5... Hmm. There's a prerelease event to attend as well. Maybe I ought to delay until Summer Break?
