Are you sure? The UK site says they take the funds at point of shipping.

Didn't know Coolshop had expanded outside Denmark, just pre-ordered on their danish site.
Also can only speak of the danish site but they are reliable, bought from them many times without hassle.

they always charge after shipping.
Even with PayPal?

yes.
that's how I always pay.
Coolshop ONLY ships to the one country their store is for.
DE -> Germany only
CO.UK -> UK only
NL -> Netherlands only etc
me too, this is just to fall back on, not happy paying almost 100 eu for trinkets.. -_-
but damn, I will reward nintendo with my money for not killing metroid after other M and FF,

I thought that but then I had to give in a TAN (not just the usual password), which is pretty unusual and looks like they want the money now and not at release.

When I try to proceed to the payment screen on coolshop. I keep getting "Bitte versuche es in einer Stunde erneut." (Please try again later). Am I out of luck?
amazon.de is sure making it dramatic for the rest of europe and the world, but if some stores here in Germany started updating, pretty sure it's a matter of hours for it to appear elsewhere.
also, after hearing stories of cancellations on the french side of amazon and how they have 1500 for the whole country, fuck no, I am glad I have the coolshop preorder now.

Cannot be sure that Coolshop won't cancel our orders oO

Is there any placeholder for it on Amazon Italy & UK? Can't find it by search

Not aware of any German stores updating anything.
Amazon had the LE product page up since four days ago. Media Markt & Saturn had their regular edition pages for several days now too. Nothing really happened other than Coolshop letting loose their product page with inaccurate info (they have the USK rating entered as USK 6, not USK 12).
If they did, we'd all get our order canceled anyway. Because everyone would bash down their front doors.
oh I am sure ours are among the first preorders they got,
I had been F5ing that link for hours today every 5 minutes , and every now and then days prior.
it was no more than 3 minutes between it went on and I pre-ordered mine, I am sure of that.
I guess they can still cancel for some reason but definitely not "sorry too high demand, and you were too late somehow".
Nah, they are selling exclusively the censored and edited version of the game.
Game is region-locked so only crazy people like me will buy it just for the SE goodies.
EVEN MORE LIMITED!!!!111elf
Oh ok.
What annoys me is that I'm pretty sure I was in the first minutes of Amazon.fr (I had refreshed the page less than 2 minutes before) and it still got cancelled
I envy your preorder, it may be enough low-profile to hold...
Apparently no...

yeah coolshp is very low profile so chances of cancellations are lower
this is also a terrible price we'll very likely pay
how much was it on your amazon.fr now-cancelled preorder?
Something like 60. But honestly, I'd gladly pay 94...

Tbh I was confused how it was so cheap for a limited edition. Expected 80-90ish anyway. So if it turns out to be cheaper, I'm even more okay with it.
It's supposed to be on the official UK store at the equivalent of 69.99 EUR.

Pre-ordered on Coolshop.de.
But if I can get it pre-ordered on Amazon.de or Mediamarkt.de I'll probably cancel it on Coolshop.

That's what I feared.. I'm already fearing for the mail...
I doubt it'll happen today. Either Saturday Morning/Afternoon or Monday.. if at all.. we don't even know if it'll happen soon.
My theory is that it's still available because that price pretty much nullifies any scalper attempt, is hard to profit when you need to sell at 130 just to get a couple of euros, not worth the hassle.
Also, it's the wrong price, Germany only and as low profile as it gets, it doesn't even appear on google results if you don't explicitly write "coolshop" in your search.

I bought it about 6 mins after you posted (which I still thank you for btw!).
I was on mobile so it took a while to load and honestly, I was getting all nervous, especialy when my SMS app refused to load the PayPal-Code for a minute or so. Been pretty much convinced it'd be sold out by the time I reach the PayPal window, because of all those tales of it selling out in mere minutes. Your points do calm me down a bit, but it's still weird that no other big retailer put it on sale so far.
