RE-UPDATE THE TITLE
Those who pre-ordered the special edition (with the watch) had to wait *months* to get said watch, only to find that it was damaged en route... Without much communication at all. I'm sure someone can recount the tale better than I, but there was in issue during shipment that caused damage to all of the watches.
still good here
But are we still good? Or is this something akin to the ZTD fiasco, in which we all receive parts of the order, or damaged goods when they finally do arrive?
Hope something like that doesn't happen again. I'll take all my business to BestBuy, which I've never had a single issue with.
oddly timed system issue

I ordered mine just yesterday at Gamestop at the actual store, so I'm assuming this is for online preorders only? Or are retail store preorders affected as well?
Any answers Gaf?

That's the question usually the seller would just send the shipment back. The fact that they are cancelling it is odd if it is really a defect. Unless they were defective and Atlus told them they were not producing anymore. Then they would cancel everything they couldn't fulfill.

TYH Edition ordered in September is still safe.

Welp!! Looks like i'm going to order it digitally then. That was probably my last physical game I was going to buy.
but did he call 19 Gamestops?

My "Take Your Heart" order is still active. Maybe Sega/Atlus couldn't allot enough stock to fill all of the preorders.

Pre-ordered the steelbook launch edition from GAME.co.uk in the UK 2 days ago and haven't had an email yet.

This could be quite the shitshow. Imagine if they force everyone to pre-order the Take Your Heart edition again on a first-come-first-served basis, and people who had existing pre-orders get shut out of this new wave.
So sounds like a standard oversell, as opposed to rogue toxic steelbooks melting everyone's fingers. At least there's that.
FUCK YES
If it's a defect with the actual steel book, it will probably affect all pre-orders, if it's just the shipment that Amazon got, it will only be their online pre-orders.
Unfortunately, we're all kinda flying blind at the moment...so basically...

It does just seem to be Amazon at least. Retailer I ordered with (VG+) told me that they have no problems with it.

My amazon order from June 7th, 2016 is still good (for now).
My best buy order for in store pickup from March 12th, 2017 is still good (for now).
I really hate that you have to get pre-orders in at multiple places for limited items to be safe in actually getting it. Even having it pre-ordered at 2 places, I still think it's a gamble that I'll actually receive it. Feels bad.

Huh, phew.
It's still weird that orders are randomly being cancelled... I guess it's good (i.e. not as horrible as it could be) that the issue is only with Amazon and not everywhere? For now anyway.
Saw this comment in another reddit thread. I also agree that we shouldn't listen to Amazon reps because all of these Amazon rep comments sound like they have no idea what is going on.

I'd almost prefer the latter, if for no other reason than morbid curiosity as to how the fuck that happened.

Hopefully everyone gets a confirmation on a copy so that this can turn into an enjoyable stealth brag thread on who pre-ordered the first day.

I feel bad for people who preordered when it first went up. I just preordered a week ago. Looks like a lottery goes into effect when there is an oversell.

I swear, if they do a last minute delay...
I'm gonna laugh/cry so fucking hard, it seems like this game is turning into the perpetual carrot at the end of a stick.

Was going to change to the collectors edition, so happy I did not.
Edit: if they delay this again....

I know I feel bad for people who ordered right away and are getting cancelled, since, at least so far, mine is still good and I didn't order till January.
