Viberum Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) http://imgur.com/cJlEQzc For everyone who pre-ordered the special edition (like myself) you should take a look at this!! Apparently, Gamestop has messed up SEVERELY and now if you've pre-ordered too late, your pre-order has been cancelled and you'll have to look elsewhere. (THANKS GAMESTOP!) However, if you've pre-ordered online, you're safe so don't worry! Only those who pre-ordered in-store are affected. Fortunately for me, I pre-ordered this on the 16th, so I'm good. What about you guys? Edited January 14, 2016 by ChocolaChao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stahl_gaius_fan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah, I actually was told 11/18 in an email too when I asked them about it a while back. I didn't know if the answer was legit cause the guy gave me such weird mixed answers for stuff that I didn't even ask about. I figured that when the manic panic died down it just went away and was a rumor or something. Welp, I'm glad I went the first day. Got mine in on 11/13.

Anacybele Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Fucking Gamestop. Wow, chill out, they had a glitch, okay? It sucks, but things like this happen. It's not anyone's fault. Anyway, I'm glad I was only after Birthright. Didn't need to worry about any of this at all. Edited January 14, 2016 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Wow, chill out, they had a glitch, okay? It sucks, but things like this happen. It's not anyone's fault. Considering this is a FE special edition. I would not blame them for the stock running out. Edited January 14, 2016 by Radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucinaofYlisse Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Was horrified initially, until I saw my receipt. Preordered on the 14th, thanks for the heads up! P: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NekoKnight Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mine is 11/13 too. I didn't notice it before but now there is a "Premium Fire Emblem Keychain" listed in addition to the special addition package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I preordered it the day after the direct came out, so I should be fine. My apologies to those affected tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) That's a meme? I don't think everyone would know that. Not even people I know say that. I got my keychains and game so I am good. Edited January 14, 2016 by Radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viberum Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm glad so far everyone still has their pre-orders intact! I was thinking there would be alot more rage involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warchiefwilliams Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Honestly, while it is... aggravating that Gamestop's software glitched out on them, I am more upset regarding the limited stock of the special edition. When it was first announced I had already exceeded my budget for games/miniatures for novemeber (thanks XCOM!) and by the time I was able to get cash for a pre-order it had already sold out pretty much everywhere. I was looking foward to reading that art book... Anyways, I kinda wonder if IS and Nintendo intentionally limited production of the SE to try and create the who "limited market" thing like they did with Amibo. With how popular Fire Emblem has become in recent years, I certainly wouldn't put it past them. Damn shame about the Gamestop software glitch though. You know that someone was screwed by it.

TearsForFears Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I received my call today. At least I got to hype for about a month before they canceled it. The hype will never be forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosexualbeard Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Glad this is only in-store. I ordered online on the 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Shogi Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I remember GameStop had a limited stock for Awakening as well. I got my copy a few days after the release date but it wasn't cancelled. My condolences for those affected.

angienessyo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Now's a good time to be glad that amiibo traumatized me so I make sure to preorder anything Nintendo the moment it's up D: I ordered an extra to cover a friend if they missed out but I don't have enough extras to cover all the friends that are going to probably miss out now.

Jedi Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Well that's pretty lame. Shouldn't be surprised considering its GameStop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPerson0 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Glad that I was able to pre-order it the day after the direct. Hopefully the majority of these cancellations are scalpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I guess it was naive to think this launch wouldn't be as problematic as Awakening's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I wouldn't be getting anything from Gamestop anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPerson0 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I guess it was naive to think this launch wouldn't be as problematic as Awakening's. It's not even close...you can still pre-order the regular edition of the game with no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
