The beauty part of ordering through Amazon is that if they do cancel it, you can always send them an angry email and they'll give you a 5+ dollar credit to pacify you.

I did order one
But I sent an email to verify the order and cancel if they aren't shipping memory cards. No response yet, but Wario posted one from CAG where they said it was showing up as Wipeout on their end, so it was a product mismatch.Saint Gregory

Congrats to anyone who gets in on this since that's really the price those 32GB cards should have been in the first place. I never understood the strategy of overpricing storage media on a closed device when the whole point of it is people buying stuff from your store to put on it.

well Buy.com never listed Wipeout 2048, so we will have to see. I think they would send a cancelation email before they stupidly send out Wipeout 2048

Do that too many times and they'll close your account and refuse to do business with you.

Since a bunch of people seem to have jumped on this deal, I'm guessing that if they don't honor it we'll at least all get some gift cards.
Amazon will not close your account because you complain about them cancelling an order.
I've gotten dozens of $5/$10/$20 credits over the years. Tons of them.
Someone on CAG or some other forum got banned from Amazon for complaining too much
If Amazon is stupid enough to ban me, considering how much money I spend on their site, then they don't deserve my business in the first place!
I think we would need to know what they complained about.

i saw the thread on CAG. he complained 6 or 7 times in a year about various things: missed shipping date, i think a product had a crinkled edge or something.... i dont remember everything but it is true. maybe he just didn't post EVERYTHING he complained about tho

Ive done that way more than 6 or 7 times a year, then again if I told anyone here what I spent on amazon.com a year they would be in shock lol
I guess spending a shit ton on their site and being a prime customer for years has kept me from being banned.

like i said, maybe this dude CLAIMED he only complained 6 or 7 times but maybe the truth is he was complaining on every other order or something

Buy.com order is still processing for, they need to just go ahead and cancel this so I can move on!

I looked on Amazon, and it shows the card will be shipping soon and I should receive it between the 24 and 29th.
Of course, there's a possibility they still haven't caught it yet.

Same thing with mine: shipped from Tiger Direct w estimated d Delivery estimate:February 22, 2012 - February 27, 2012. I ordered from a credit card just in case so I'll have enough cash on hand for Vita deals in store if it doesn't work out.

The dream is dead seeing if I can get a credit for bitching to amazon in a nice tactful way:

They won't ship it. They will just cancel your order.

It's an easy way to deflect cost from the hardware. The only really egregious examples previously were the Gamecube memory units (MC 59, lol) and the 360 hard drives. If you're the only shop in town on closed hardware, your consumers don't have a choice either. I'd argue that it really only worked for MS because for about 3 years, a 360 with an HDD was still cheaper than buying a PS3. Not really a comparable situation for the Vita. Hopefully Sony sees the surge in demand at these prices and wizens up down the road.
MrMephistoX

Yep I sent a stern email to them and to Amazon warning of such. Spoke with a useless chat CSR who advised to file a report. Hopefully they'll send us a credit at least: if they knowingly ship out the incorrect item and force me to ship it back at my expense while waiting for a refund which may take a week it's patently ridiculous. + Why the hell would anyone even bother purchasing Wipeout from Tiger Direct in the first place when Amazon had it on sale for $29.99 and next day free with Prime.

so has anyone got past "processing" on Buy.com?
MrMephistoX
Member
Hope is dead. If they get past processing they've likely sent you a copy of Wipeout, in which case you'll have to ship it back to them and wait a week or so for a refund.

And possibly pay return shipping since it's not a defective product.
MrMephistoX
Member
Yep, they did say in a follow up email that they will refund the shipping after they receive it but still that's over a week for getting cash back. Again hopefully amazon will respond. I'm not to troll for freebies but this is a case where sending a gift card would be a good customer service move.

Fuck that noise. I have proof of what I ordered. Isn't that info off Tigers own website though? I dont think it works that way if you buy off a marketplace seller on another site. You shouldn't have to pay for return shipping if they ship something out that's not what you ordered.
I'll just have my bank reverse the charge if they dont cancel and give me a hard time.

Be sure to file a complaint with Amazon as well.

I ordered off buy.com using paypal. I have already sent them a cancel email yesterday after word got out this was 95% likely to be some error besides the price. Just waiting for a reply back.
If this was amazon, it would be easier for me to deal with since I use them weekly.
If I get no response, I'll go through paypal to get my money back.

Just got an email from Tigerdirect through buy.com, my order will be cancelled. Turns out the same thing happened there as it did on Amazon, it was supposed to be for WipEout. Oh well.

Though it still f-ing says processing on the site. Would feel better if it said cancelled. How f-ing stupid would they be if they ship wipeout.

I filed an A-Z complaint. It would be nice if Amazon kicked in some sort of compensation for this but I doubt they will. They did fucking ship Wipeout though despite my cancellation request and the volume of them they must be getting:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Unfortunately, our records indicate that this order has already been shipped with tracking number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. However, it is advisable to refuse this package upon delivery to your residence. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
MrMephistoX

Seriously? The jokers at Tiger Direct are insisting I simply refuse delivery on the package. Kind of difficult considering I actually work for a living and do not do said work from home.

Make it harder on them; easier on you. Tell them to send you a prepaid box for the return. If it even works that way
