Sony just cancelled my Infamous First Light Pre-Order...

What if all the laid off employees took the DLC with them?
O.O

The exiting former employee would have left with a beautifully bright and slightly pink briefcase containing 'personal documents' only..... >_>

Not sure if possible.

It's now showing as not available for purchase on the SEN site.

And yet this is what's in my download list...

I'll check my PS4 tonight to see if it's still in my library, but I suspect it won't be with them cancelling the pre-order.

My shows that I am still able to pre-order it. Maybe it says not available to you cause you already purchased.

That list is very much incomplete.

Quite a few games were preloaded already.

ok, sorry, didn't know that. thanks

As someone a EU link for the pre-order content?

it's just a link to the game in the store. There's no voucher code included. The german mail transports the meaning more clearly saying:
"Wenn du die Vollversion des Spiels über den folgenden Link herunterlädst, verlierst du deinen Anspruch auf das Kostüm für Fetch nicht, das dir durch deine Vorbestellung zusteht:https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/cid=EP9000-CUSA00897_00-INFFL00PREORDPSN"

"If you download the game over the following link, you will not lose access to Fetch's costume, which you are entitled to due to your pre-order: https:....."

which i take as "you don't need to hold off purchasing it digitally at release as we'll be sending you a voucher code to the pre-order bonus anyways"
 
I hope they do, that means they are absolutely giving the game away... or it was canceled. Can't imagine that's the case though, release is 4 days away.

Giving it away for free on PS+ doesnt mean that they have it forever in PS+. Would make no sense to cancel the Retail release.

"Your account has not been charged for the product" EU thing? Here in the US I had to pay for it upfront and haven't got an e-mail yet.

Europe only charges upon release.

I also had my pre-order cancelled and can't buy it again because I already own it.. Confused.
 
Can't say I'm too upset, I can get the disk version instead now, which didn't exist when I ordered it. It's not exactly easy to cancel these digital pre-orders.

As for the "continued custom" phrasing, that's pretty standard English in the UK.

no way they're canceling the retail release this close to street date, either

neither is it going to be on PS+.

If they were to give the game away they would just announce it already. Why create confusion if you could just send a cheerful "hey everyone we're giving it away, so we canceled your pre-order" mail.
I think they're simply having some issues with european pre-load servers or whatnot.

Seems like they cancelled preorders to fix the PSN license glitch.

Just checked my console, still has the countdown timer and not canceled (NA)
Looks to be only effecting Europe

US PlayStation tweeted this shortly before this thread was made, so maybe NA isn't affected?
Or maybe it's a glitch, idk seems weird.

Sounds like eu people can't pre-load and it will be avalible to download when it comes out.
No idea why this is happening though.
 
I haven't gotten any email about it and I preordered it a week or two ago. Hm, I've been looking forward to it so I hope its not delayed or something.

Weird.

Guess it's a good thing I've decided to wait on the the retail release or get it from the US store afterall.

why? nothing has changed. we might just not get to pre-load it, but that's pretty much it.

First sucker punch employees get laid off, now pre orders of first light are being cancelled? Omg infamous IP is cancelled, first light isn't coming out. The project was never finished!

As I said in the OT, I hope this isn't delayed and they aren't telling us, and is in fact just some technical issue with the system or that license problem that is cropping up for people. Either way it better still come out on time, I've been looking forward to this.

WTF is continued custom?

Continued custom, as in, continuing to buy from them as a customer, perfectly valid British English that does get used here so I assume you aren't from the UK.

That Engrish, though.

I don't see anything wrong with the email.

I dunno, just assumed it might be something more than not being able to pre-load. Just the pessimist in me I guess.
And they most certainly will eventually at retail ;)
 
Could be related. Kokaku posted this:

"We are aware of this account issue that has affected a very small number of users. We are currently investigating the cause of the issue and have made progress toward a possible solution."

I pre ordered diablo 3 on PSN recently and I canceled it on the phone with sony. I got an email the next day saying that they refuse to cancel my order. Maybe the gods have given me this luck.
 
Most probably it is related to that PSN-cannot-access-anything bug. It was caused due to canceled pre-orders and hence they have fixed it. But to apply that fix, they might have had to cancel preorders store wise.


Or they want to test if people lose their PSN access because of canceled pre-orders and all of you are part of their experiment :p
