Emurii's Updates on the GameStop/EB Games situation

Yukiyo · Post Posted: Oct 24, 2012 8:53 am

Yeah Lol Natsume is trying to be nice ._. And people get stressed instead... Like me >_>; xD <3

Oh I looked on Walmart's site. They changed it back to "If you preorder this it will ship out the 6th of November." Yesterday it said that you could get it by the 30th for the site to store and tomorrow for express.

I don't know what's going on with the retailers x3

All their minds have been hijacked by Natsume's craziness, haha.

I think Natsume should have straightened everything out with the retailers and stuff BEFORE saying they were releasing it earlier. XD

The poor stores are freaking out because A) They have no idea what's going on, at least not everyone and B) All the fans are calling them non-stop.

I'm very stressed over this ;w; Want game. Nao.

GAMESTOP CHARGED MY CARD. My order is still "open," but I preordered VERY LATE so this is fantastic news.

Anyhoo, I just want to thank Emurii for consolidating all of the recent developments of the GS pre-ordering fiasco in one place! It makes everything so much easier knowing where to find up-to-date information and what not. I'm anticipating my game from GS along with everybody else in this thread, and it certainly makes the wait much less tiresome (knowing that there are others in the same boat/ship/land/state/continent that are eagerly waiting for any kind of news).

I just want to thank everyone for contributing to this thread! You guys are all awesome sauce

~ On another note...I wonder if there is any member in this thread within a 25 mile radius of Los Angeles who is waiting for the game like I am?

I'm from Western Pa :3 North of Pittsburgh ^^;

@Fuji: Me too...Me too. ;3; I even ignored the livestreaming of the game last night because I didn't want to spoil myself. That was soooo difficult!!!

You live in Pennsylvania, and it said that the game is coming you're way? Shweeeet, I live in Virginia, so hopefully it isn't far off.

You, good sir/lady, have much more strength than I.
/shot
I stayed up so late watching it ;w; Totally worth it. Although I am like, FREAKING OUT NOW.
This game is so beautiful. DX In many, many ways...

TIME TO CALL GAMESTOP/TARGET/ALLLL THE STORES.
Yay, Emurii!!!

Yeah, I didn't watch the livestream either although I was online. I was like, must... resist... D;

I'm really tempted to call EB Games now. But I know that they will have no idea what I'm talking about and then I won't want to call again because I'll feel like I'm bugging them. D;

Lol ._. Bug them that's what they're paid for =.=;...Well they're paid to answer your questions anyways and if they want you as a customer they should be happy to answer them ._.;

Yeah, the people at my EB Games are always really nice so it should be fine, I just hate calling in. I'll probably wait a few days, because if Gamestops in the US don't have them in-store yet there's no way that Canadian ones will anyways.

I actually don't blame Natsume about this. Natsume told retailers about this and gave a time window of when the game should be in stores. It's the corporate side of the retailers fault that we are playing this waiting game. Had this been a game of the year series like Madden, Halo, or Assassin's Creed this wouldn't have happened and most retailers would have had the game as soon as the company said so. But some places are like pfft it's just HM and it annoys me that they haven't shipped it and/or got it sitting in their back room in their store and won't release it(Despite Natsume and us telling them about the soft release and not communicating with their staff about it).

Emurii · Post Posted: Oct 24, 2012 9:11 am

I updated the main post!

Fuji · Post Posted: Oct 24, 2012 9:13 am

I don't blame Natsume or anything~
I just think it'd have been cool if the companies/stores knew about it a few days before us fans did. XD

Our frantic calling, canceling orders to re-order elsewhere, crazy running around, etc. might have been reduced...lol.

I do agree though, if HM was a more popular game, it'd be WAY different.

edit:
Just called Target...lady there said it's not in stock, and they have no listing of it being in soon. She said they'll only really know if they're getting it, WHEN it shows up in a box. ;w; Silly unpopular games...
I want to call Gamestop, but the guys there scare me >> They all sound like they're the same, high-school 'jock' kind. That's what their voices remind me of. And they call me dude a lot D8
