Man, doesn't even NISA have a better online store, including free release date delivery on LE preorders? Though I know their original one was terrible, did they start out with Digital River?

pretty sure NISA has always run their store themselves and we've just seen the progression of them getting better at it

I watched the unboxing video. Wow, even the cover/inside art of the game is different than the standard edition. They really put a lot of detail into this CE.

It seems to be a trend with BamCo. Their LE copies of games seem to always be more luxurious with color treatments and such.

They said we'll know in 72 hours if we're for sure getting it or not. Just stinks it won't ship til after the 22nd =/

What about those of us who ordered back when preorders first opened up (I think it was back in June)?

Our orders are safe, correct?
 
Tell your wives and mothers before this date haha. Dont want you guys to die.

my wife doesn't mind, she's a big silent hill and sims fan so i can keep her busy with those. i actually have this preordered 3 times. the wizard edition, gamestop and amazon. also have the artbook with dlc ordered. i think i'll return the gamestop order when i get my steelbook.
 
↑ be warned, if the associate adds the steelbook premium sku to the receipt, they will more than likely ask for the steelbook back if you do return..

Where from? I'm waiting on them to become available at Amazon.
They already sold out on Amazon.co.uk. It's where I've got it preordered from. You're best of checking a few days before launch, they usually make all the cancelled copies available for sale then.
 
I have been charged and paid in full with paypal, and I preordered this week.

Ah, I preordered like 4-5 months ago. Paid with debit card and had a temporary hold placed only card. Nothing will be open for shipping on 1/21 so I don't think namco/digital river will start charging and shipping orders till 1/22.

Oh shucks. I interpreted their on site notice as they had made their collectors editions available yet. Oh well, the game itself will suffice.

What my wife doesn't know...

Actually she doesn't really care. I'm not the type to spend money on stuff unless I know I can afford it so she doesn't really think about it when I buy stuff like this. :p

I'm hoping it ships the 22nd or 23rd.

They charged me two days ago. I paid with PayPal's Bill Me Later. I guess that means I'm getting a copy.

This was covered way back when Ninostarter started I'm pretty sure all Paypal orders took it out immediately, CC authorizations just dropped off. At this point no CC purchase's have been charged so no reason to worry.

Just came to post this. Hopefully they free up for some who missed out!

That's what I meant. Hopefully someone who is in the cut off zone gets their order fulfilled now :)

Hope they didn't over do it to much it sucks because this round of orders probably is some big fans of course if they screw over a few scalpers that would be nice.

Same. I hate scalpers. Although from what I've seen on eBay the scalpers got in on the first round anyway.

I'm still expecting my regular order to get cancelled eventually anyway though since I had to fudge my billing address (I'm overseas). I have a backup but if I end up with any spares they will be going straight to huge Ghibli fans here in NZ!

Which I think is actually better for people rather than worse assuming they didn't have a pre-planned limit: more people pre-order, more get produced, and they even serve a service in giving people a third chance! Versus people who just swoop in on a very limited stock at the expense of people who wanted the WE at least when they placed the order. On that note, can't really resent scalpers who are just people who changed their minds, you go for something, realize you don't really want it, and may as well see what you can get for it.
