I just got it from the Ebay link! I will be coming in the morning for in-store pickup.

 

[OmegaFax]

and gone.

 

[//ARCANUM]

WOAH. they stopped it. says 1,999 sold and it's gone....

 

[B.K.]

The thing that worries me is the text below the in-store pickup option.

*Item availability, pickup time and miles to store are approximate, not guaranteed and may vary depending on your location

So even though they're selling it for in-store pickup, they don't know if they'll have enough or not?

Edit: Just got the email. Order canceled. :/

 

[sorakirosaki]

WOAH. they stopped it. says 1,999 sold and it's gone....

edit:nvm i clicked on the amount sold and its showing 1999

 

[Velcro Fly]

i instantly regret not buying one even though in my heart of hearts i'm gonna need the receipts to know these are real

 

[Weevilone]

Damn, every time I tried it said there was a problem, tried a few stores.

 

[hurricanes]

1,999
So two thousand copies in total, I grab one for a friend who miss out the pre order... Let's see.

edit: they also have Pokemon 20th 3ds... To order or not to order...

 

[Soyongdori]

It's back. Go! http://www.ebay.com/itm/322012782169

Store pickup is on there this time. It wasn't when I grabbed it.

Brace for incoming barrage of "order cancelled"

 

[//ARCANUM]

we should all be prepared for a very sad morning.

 

[SalvaPot]

Everyone got their Best Buy one and I am just here waiting for Walmart to confirm mine.

 

[B.K.]

we should all be prepared for a very sad morning.

We don't even have to wait until morning. They're already canceling.

 

[exmachina64]

When should I expect the digital versions to be up on the eShop?

 

[chaosblade]

i instantly regret not buying one even though in my heart of hearts i'm gonna need the receipts to know these are real

I won't freak out unless we discover those were their stock and the original orders are cancelled. Because, being reasonable, that's really unlikely.

But if that does happen, some poor rep is going to get an earful from me and I'll take my business elsewhere, regardless of GCU.

 

[//ARCANUM]

watch stores be flooded with these, lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

My SE that I ordered within 5 minutes of it going up is delayed!

Last time I'm buying anything from Best Buy

Delayed to March 14

l o fucking l are they delaying it because Revelation isn't until the 11th? Holy shitfuck I just woke up my entire house screaming MARCH 14TH out loud

 

[Geneijin]

pretty good

Um, their eBay store doesn't qualify as part of BestBuy.com.

Q: If I have already pre-ordered games, will the 20% off be applied to those orders?
A: This will depend on whether you placed these pre-orders in-store or through BestBuy.com

People can always try, but it's pretty YMMV.

[NeOak]

UPS has my CE ready for tomorrow from Amazon. Really tempted to sell it because I do need the money

 

[fernoca]

Well hopefully some did get lucky and manage to get one frim tbe eBay link.

It was a bit weird. Since it seems to be a an old listing or something. It didn't even appeared in their first 100 newly listed items (though Birthright and the n3DSXL did).

Unless it was hidden listing...or something.

But yeah. Hopefully those that actually wanted one get one.

Doubt is related to that since at the moment it's only Best Buy the one that was affected.

Though Best Buy also had preorders open for more hours. So maybe the oversold some and are getting a few more.

When should I expect the digital versions to be up on the eShop?

In the US?
Live as of 2 hours ago.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Probably not even going to buy the game at this rate if I can't get the SE cart I don't even want all the extra stuff.

 

[RiderKairuu]

I got a text from BB about the delay. What a joke..

 

[//ARCANUM]

Email from BB.

3/14/16. Haha.

hey if the VICE PRESIDENT says it's gone be there by the 14th, then it's gone be there. GO LOOK IN YO MAILBOX.

oh god i just realized that said MARCH. I forgot what month we are in. holy shit. wtf.

 

[microdot]

Email from BB.

3/14/16. Haha.

Lol. Was this from eBay?

 

[jwhit28]

So is it only shipped items from eBay BB store that have been canceled so far or in store pick up too?

 

[Craig Majaski]

Ordered on 11/12/2015 from Best Buy, and they're going to pull this shit?

Craig, please accept our apology for this inconvenience.

Unacceptable.

 

[Basileus777]

No, BestBuy.com order from November 12.

 

[The Outsider]

Got my cancelation notice.

Back to square one. My original preorder better fucking ship tomorrow.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Got the same fucking email. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? Fuck you BB. FUCK YOU!

 

[Metroidvania]

Haven't gotten an cancellation email yet, selected in-store.

Guess we'll find out in the morning.

 

[chaosblade]

Email from BB.

3/14/16. Haha.

Same thing.

What the fuck though, why are they on Ebay if they can't fulfill their existing preorders? What are they doing?

 

[NeOak]

My SE that I ordered within 5 minutes of it going up is delayed!

Quick, someone page Kotaku that BB delayed the preorders and sold stock on eBay.

 

[Tevos]

WHAT

THE

FUCK

NOT an ebay order. This was ordered the very fucking minute they went up.

FUCK BEST BUY.

 

[dallow_bg]

So is it only shipped items from eBay BB store that have been canceled so far or in store pick up too?

Only one person said they got a cancellation so far.
Edit: make that 2

 

[zulux21]

Um, their eBay store doesn't qualify as part of BestBuy.com.



People can always try, but it's pretty YMMV.

if it's site to stored it still would be an order through the store.
beyond that I am pretty sure I ordered from the online store before and it has the same forms as an online order for an in store return.

could have changed, but either way it's not a big deal.

if people get this for $80 at this point I think they will be happy.

 

[Weevilone]

Probably not even going to buy the game at this rate if I can't get the SE cart I don't even want all the extra stuff.

That's the shitty thing about this. I don't care about the extra crap. They had to go make the damn game cart significantly different, then make it difficult to get. I won't buy it if I can't get an SE.

 

[microdot]

No, BestBuy.com order from November 12.

Looks like you're not the only one. I would try to get some sort of compensation. That's BS.

 

[//ARCANUM]

i have 2 best buy eBay orders and on both of them I have so far gotten an email saying they've received my order. (1 in store 1 shipping). fingers crossed.

 

[Gaspard]

Haha jokes on us, we get to play Revelations later than digital folks.

Spoiler

:'(

 

[Basileus777]

I really wish I knew how long this delay will be. If it really is March I'll just buy it digital and resell the SE.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Ordered the day they were available and this is how they fucking treat us? Are you fucking real BB? You are going to get some serious hell for this.

 

[B.K.]

So is it only shipped items from eBay BB store that have been canceled so far or in store pick up too?

I chose in-store pickup and got my cancellation notice about five minutes ago.

 

[dallow_bg]

And there's my delay notice for a 3 month old preorder.

 

[zulux21]

Same thing.

What the fuck though, why are they on Ebay if they can't fulfill their existing preorders? What are they doing?

ditto I have that as well.

I think I might get mad if this random ebay order doesn't get cancelled and it shows up before the one I ordered from the store

 

[RiderKairuu]

I ordered my SE literally seconds after that Direct back in November. I'm pissed I have to wait until March, but they can put orders up on Ebay? I'm never ordering limited quantity editions from them again.

 

[microdot]

So those that are now getting 3/14 emails from BestBuy, were you waiting for your order status to change?

 

[Hyperfludd]

Got the same email, what the fuck? That's absurd. If I managed to find one at Nintendo NY tomorrow, I'm just gonna cancel my order. Holy shit, this is the first time that ever happened to me and Best Buy.

I ordered my SE literally seconds after that Direct back in November. I'm pissed I have to wait until March, but they can put orders up on Ebay? I'm never ordering limited quantity editions from them again.

Yep, seeing ebay get orders but the one I preordered the second it went get fucking *delay* is crazy. :|

So those that are now getting 3/14 emails from BestBuy, were you waiting for your order status to change?

Yep, that's me right here.

 

[//ARCANUM]

what if they ship out these 1,999 eBay orders and delay/cancel all the OG pre-orders.... that would be beyond messed up

 

[B.K.]

That's the shitty thing about this. I don't care about the extra crap. They had to go make the damn game cart significantly different, then make it difficult to get. I won't buy it if I can't get an SE.

Same. I just want the cart with all three versions. I refuse to buy anything digitally from Nintendo as long as they have their shitty account system.

 

[The Outsider]

WHAT

THE

FUCK



NOT an ebay order. This was ordered the very fucking minute they went up.

FUCK BEST BUY.

Best Buy better not be fucking pulling this shit. This is fucking unacceptable.
