上昇Taiyou Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Spending a lot of money on something you don't need and then savouring the combination of regret and satisfaction is an important part of being an adult. They should consider it a learning experience for you. I'm getting the bundle because it's a collector's item and it was the only way I could get the art book. For some reason I had the US and EU releases mixed up so I didn't get around to pre-ordering the game until the physical copies were sold out and the bundle was announced. Definitely getting a physical copy too as soon as I can afford that (3DS is half paid for by my family as a birthday present). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoMan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I can confirm that Canada has stopped selling it early. I just called EBgames and they said they can't sell it anymore. But for those that did preorder it and missed the early release (like me), you can still get the bonus artbook on the 4th. Right when I find out about it, they stop selling it... well I didn't really want to go on an EB games scavenger hunt anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 One hour ago from Video Games Plus "New Fire Emblem 3DS and Sly Cooper PS3/PSvita games Now shipping Early. Street date shipping policy in effect" Looking at their Street date shipping policy for a previous release... Street date shipping policy in effect (If your parcel usually takes 2 or more business days to arrive from us your order will ship today. If your parcel only takes 1 business day to arrive from us it will ship on Monday) I I SO EXCITEEEED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I was sifting through gamefaqs and I found a topic saying that PA streetdate has been lifted in Gamestop (this was after the EBgames 'cease and desist' selling order). While I usually take what I learn there with a grain of salt, I'm trying to find any hope of getting this early. Does anyone who lives in PA know if this is true? Preferably western PA (I live in the suburbs near Pittsburgh). I'd call but I'm in school and can't access my phone at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOld Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I checked and there will be no chances of my copy arriving early. The game store prior before the one I went too always broke street date, and my area has been tagged. So, Tuesday afternoon will be the earliest I'll snag it.

Wind Crusader Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm curious, where is the source that says the street date has been reinstated? I've been reading conflicting information all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just got clarification, Video Games Plus isn't sending out the bundle early, they're not in stock yet =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeThiAnh Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm curious, where is the source that says the street date has been reinstated? I've been reading conflicting information all day. I've called an EBgames about my purchase and they said head office told them to stop selling it. You might as well call your closest EBgames and ask about it to double check but if head office said to stop selling it, it's most likely that all EBgames stopped this morning.

Onestep Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Just to confirm, I live in the UK. My copy of Awakening shipped today from VideoGamesPlus. Edited January 30, 2013 by Onestep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) I jelly T_T They haven't gotten their stock of the bundle in yet, so it hasn't been shipped. I was hoping I'd get it before I went back to school... EDIT: And in answer to deuxhero No, that line was changed to Nah: What do you like about her, anyway? You're so serious and responsible, and she runs around like a headless chicken! I have no idea what you see in her... Unless...you rushed into marriage for some reason?

Faye Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 GameStop usually sends a text if your preorder is in, at least my GameStop does. D8 I got no such text, and calling them told me they can't release it before the 4th. Oh, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCrazy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Called every GameStop in MA/CT/RI. None have broken street date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HakureiIllusion Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Spoke to an employee at my GameStop today. He said he hadn't heard anything about places breaking the street date, and then followed up with "it would be a very stupid idea anyway, since there's a $10,000 fine for each copy we sell before the street date". And I've heard things about some places selling out of their entire stock already. Good luck to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Has any one heard about/gotten it in PA yet---*gets shot* But seriously, I've gotten such conflicting news and information everywhere! If they already broke the street date,what's the big deal about not letting stores with stock sell? Is there something magical about only selling after the 4th (5th) that I'm missing here?!

GinRei Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Is there something magical about only selling after the 4th (5th) that I'm missing here?! Well, they likely sign contracts with their distributors in order to get things to sell. Said contract would indicate that items are not to be sold before the specified date (this is to create a fair and level playing field for all those who deal with the distributor, and not give an unfair advantage to those who are close enough to receive shipments early). Thus, selling early would be a breach of that contract. That being said, my Gamestop last night implied that, even if they get it when they expect (sometime between today and Sunday), they still won't sell it until the 5th because "that's what the computer says the street date is". Needless to say, if I find out they have it, I'm going to try to get it early, and if I can't, I'm going to try on the 4th. If they refuse to sell it on the release date, despite having it, hell shall be raised. That or I'll swing by Best Buy or Target or something, buy a copy, play that, and then when I get the one from Gamestop, return that copy to one of the places (depending on whether Gamestop would bitch about the art book or not).

Silver Lightning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ah ok so its business stuff......I see why they wouldn't, but to me, that only applies to before all this shit happened with EBgames and Canada. That's exactly what the street date is supposed to prevent, right? So I don't think its fair that they screw up and sell it early to some of the population then stop and force the rest of us to suck it up until its meant to be released - heck, apparently they're still out there selling it off and on depending on the region... I guess its kind of pointless to complain considering its days away now, but can you blame me? I really really REALLY want this game now; I can't express how much, and as much as I'd like to feel happy for those who have it now (and I do, especially if I had been in that position), I can't help but feel like I got jibbed for no good reason.....

Acacia Sgt Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 And now some guys in GameFaqs are commenting of the date being pushed back to the 8th. Seems there is some conflicting claims of being Canada-only or for both it and the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeThiAnh Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Came to EBgames and asked them about the game being pushed back to the 8th and I got funny looks. They said they never heard of it being pushed back and if it does happen, they won't know til Monday. Also, they said it might be a Tuesday pickup instead of Monday :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Wow, this is a mess. Last I checked my GS gets it on the fifth, if anyone cared. Maybe the 8th is for non-preordered copies? Edited January 31, 2013 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
