Dai Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'll be disappointed, if that's the case. I hope I can at least buy it the day it comes out. I mean, yeah, missing out on the artbook kinda sucks, but I want this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I hope I can still pre-order it. I'd rather not have to wait a while to actually buy the game after it comes out. I'll be depressed if I can't preorder it. I preordered it off of Amazon. I only had to pay around $43 dollars while a friend of mine who preordered it off of GameStop said she had to pay around $50+ The only downside is that I have to wait 2 days after the release, which isn't really a big deal for me. So I recommend you preorder it off of Amazon. Edited January 23, 2013 by Quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I recommend you preorder it off of Amazon. I was in the same boat as your friend. I found the art book to tantalizing, so I shelled out the extra shipping cost and it will arrive the Wednesday after release. I only have one class that day. I have all day to play it before I go back to doing school work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Tactician Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm glad I placed my preorder when I did. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to have to wait to pick it up until the 5th though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've been wondering. Really hope I can get it on the 4th. Gonna try asking closer to the release date I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gamestop specifically told me I would be getting it on the fifth. But considering the fact that he said the information for it hadn't been put into the computer until earlier that day, I think that's a sign that this particular gamestop is slow about getting stuff in. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gamestop usually has new releases a few days before hand, so I'm hoping they'll be able to sell 'em on the 4th. Will probably go in and talk to them on the 2nd and ask what they're doing.

Taichi01 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Anyone preordering from EBGames.ca, the art book is now no longer available. Gamestop.com will probably follow shortly since this is the same thing.

Blademaster! Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just walked into gamestop today and found out about this... Damn it! The guys at the counter said to check again in a week if they get more available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company prefers to do Tuesday releases, so I think a good chunk of stores aren't getting their games shipped to them until the 4th so they can be released out on the 5th (from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be a universal thing though??) That being said, I pre-ordered my copy of Awakening back in December almost two weeks before Christmas and my store had it in their system already, but is doing the 5th release thing as well :/ so lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luchinania Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 My local GS said that the game will be available on the 4th, after I asked if it was true about it being released on the 5th. But I'm from Canada, so maybe it's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeroix Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Good thing i pre ordered on the 15th of January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaze Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I asked my friend whether they will be having the game available on the 4th or if we'll have to wait until the 5th. He told me that he would ask them when he goes there for work tomorrow. I know that I pre-ordered my copy back in December a few days before Christmas, so hopefully I can get it on the 4th and not have to deal with another day after release date thing like I did when Pokemon Conquest came out.

Happy_Dingo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I found this out the hard way a few days ago. Since then I've consistently checked their website (in vain). I even e-mailed them to see what the deal was (cuz apparently no one tells the people at my Gamestop anything. They didn't know why it was unavailable). I've since then gone into full depression mode. I wouldn't even care if I didn't want the art book. =[ Think there's a chance they'll get more in? Or maybe someone will cancel their order?

Art book. =/ If I can't get it with the art book I'll get the game somewhere else. I wouldn't even buy from Gamestop were it not for the book. Why can't any other retailers get pre-order bonuses? Gamestop already has quite the monopoly on Gaming specialized retailing (which is why I like to buy from other places if I can). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiilere Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Most Gamestop employees don't know crap. Not because they're terrible, but because their higher ups never give them information. When I went to ask them about the bundle a few days after the facebook post about it, they didn't even have it listed in their computer. I went in today asking if they knew if they'd get their shipment in late, he said he knew nothing about it but it hasn't shipped to their store yet. He also said he'd send someone down the strip to let me know if there's any changes. <3 my Gamestop, they kick ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo M Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 For whatever this is worth, Amazon's claiming their pre-orders for the game "may be affected by manufacturer shipping delays". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRei Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 For whatever this is worth, Amazon's claiming their pre-orders for the game "may be affected by manufacturer shipping delays". Pretty sure that's just their way of saying "we sold more than anticipated, but we're ordering more, however it might take a couple of days to get more".

The Awesomest Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I wasn't aware of this, and I just walked into a Gamestop today to preorder. The attendants both went "AAUUUGGHH" and told me I was probably the fourth person to come in just that day and ask for a preorder. This is one Gamestop of three within less than a mile of each other.

Same thing sort of happened to me i asked the employee who was working on my pre order and i asked is Eb Games going to have the Artbook and their answer was we don't even know and all they said was check there website and so i did and it lead me to Eb Games Canada site and i'm like wtf so the website knows while u who works here doesn't Edited January 27, 2013 by Xeroix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
