Here's another pic of the watch along with the cylindrical container it comes in with the Zero Escape logo :D

What time is it?
Hrmm clicked on my pre-order from months ago and it says Standard Edition again. x: It was pre-order version like a week ago.

Same with my order (placed 3/9). The promo does say this though: "This offer will be extended to all existing pre-orders. Limit one per household. Amazon reserves the right to change or terminate this promotion at any time." I'll be disappointed if I miss out. Amazon CS doesn't seemed in the dark when I contacted them.
 
Guys...
I preordered in March on Amazon..., so I thought that I already qualified for the watch and that's what everyone was saying too.
But, I couldn't shake off this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, so I emailed them yesterday.

They said that I didn't qualify for the watch promotion...T_T
I don't even know what to say.
I have been looking forward to Zero Escape even before it was announced for America and that's why I preordered so early.

I don't even have a 3DS yet and the only reason I preordered was for the watch.
I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am.

So, I'm out...
And for everyone that preordered early like I did, please check just with Amazon.

Seeing as how you are in fact getting the preorder watch.....avatar quote.
 
We spoke with Amazon yesterday and anyone who had pre-ordered the game prior to the watch announcement will have the watch retroactively applied to their order.

They also mentioned that their sales people were informed to know as such.

So if you pre-ordered in March, you should definitely get it!
Ok, thanks for the fast reply!
I guess the Amazon customer service representative that I spoke to was misinformed.
Oops...I didn't mean to be a herald of doom. ^_^;
 
But now I have a preorder bonus woe. I ordered both the Vita version and the 3DS version of the preorder versions of VLR, so I expected to get 2 watches along with my 2 games. But bender's post about the preorder bonus says "Limit one per household", so does that mean I won't be getting two watches? Can Belisarius or Akselziys comment on my situation?

is that why the preorder bonus for vita sold out quicker?

Amazon is still currently applying the pre-order bonus retroactively to orders from before the pre-order watches were made available :)

If you guys would like to confirm, please feel free to PM me your Amazon username/email and order number and we'll forward them to Amazon to make sure that the pre-order watch is applied.

But this is only for people that pre-ordered before the watches were made available :)

Hm I cancelled my original preorder from months ago to re-order when the watch bonus version came up as a separate listing. Looks like ironically I'll have a higher chance of not getting it if amazon oversells or stock runs out now ( ´_ゝ`)

Any orders that were placed before they formally took them down will be honored, even if they went over the maximum threshold :)

I really appreciate your involvement! Love supporting a company that shows they care about the fans. Thanks for the quick replies.

Just to make absolutely sure, what date were the watches made available?

Last Friday Amazon put them up (for VITA), so 9/14 :)

And it's our pleasure!

So I'm not the only one. Wasn't sure which portable I'd have first (getting both anyway), so wanted to cover and support both bases.

likewise lol. (well for the most part, I have a 3ds, but I wasn't sure what one I would want the game on as I plan to get a vita soon as well)
my big plan was just to change the shipping addess of one to my parents house for now. I am currently leaning towards keeping both and giving the gift of zero escape for christmas to one of my friends... I need to get him something nice anyways as he already told me what he was getting my wife for christmas and it's well deserving of at least something as sexy as zero escape.

Was the pre-order bonus every up for the 3DS version?

I got in for the Vita version, which is fine, but am just curious.

It was up for a day or two until a barrage of people pre-ordered the heck out of it to make it sell out in record time ;)

So what are the pre-order numbers like, out of curiosity?

With a game like this, I imagine there's a fear that the audience can't expand beyond 999's sales, but VLR seems to be picking up in popularity.
 
As long as they allowed you to pre-order then the bonus should be applied.

I believe it was 1 per person per platform when the bonus went into effect?

I just got on the chat with an Amazon rep. and I explained my situation to him and he told me that you guys had limited it to one per household so I would only be getting one. So was he just confused or am I slightly screwed?

I don't think I can divulge that information, but they're very very good :3

We're currently confirming with Amazon right now, so we'll let you know you for certain once they get back to us :)

999 seemed like a very slow burner where it was praised a lot and people slowly checked it out, so it wouldn't be surprising if the sequel did quite a bit better.

I know others have said it, but thanks for being hands on with us. It's really nice to see companies working with the customers like this. It makes it all the easier to love Aksys :)

I emailed Amazon and I'm not getting a bracelet. I pre-ordered on the 17th when they had the listing and before the split, but they don't have enough to go around. :/ I would've pre-ordered earlier, but I was hoping Canadians might have some other options.

Consider the mass appeal of the watches, I would say it would be in Aksys best interest to do a round 2 of the watches. I don't even want one (Well I kinda do), but its so sad to see so many people who got screwed, especially when they did indeed preorder during the time frame.

A little blue bird in a gas mask told me to keep your eyes and ears peeled tomorrow for news about "stuff" :eek:

Such an adorable little bird~

If it's the bird I'm thinking of I'd stay away if I were you. It tells me to burn things.

lawl But seriously...super-extra-secret-special-awesome-stuff?!!

I just preordered it for $29.99 on newegg instead.

If I can't get the watch, may as well just get 10 bucks off while I can.
