36.5h till it goes live on the eShop
Gah. Now my local GameStops are saying the bundle wont be available till the 5th. Whoever said this was a happy clusterfuck was wrong. This is definitely a sad clusterfuck.
36.5h till it goes live on the eShop
Wow I'm salty, yesterday I called Best Buy and the representative said it was unavailable. Today I visit the website today, and it went from UNAVAILABLE to PREORDER NOW for pickup on 2/1/13. so I just called and she's goes aren't you the same person from the other day? anyway, let me see... yes we actually have it available but...OH we sold them all. -_-
Just the idea of not having to dick around with pre-orders, wondering when I will receive a package or driving to a store makes going digital all worthwhile.
Until you realize it's Nintendo. And Nintendo's stone age account system is the absolute worst.

Nah, still worth it.
Except when you lose your 3DS and you lose ALL OF YOUR PURCHASES. It's happened to people on GAF as well. Only reason I'm not going digital on this.
And if you lost your 3ds with a case full of games it would be the same. At least with club nintendo linking you might have a shot of recovery.

By virtually every account of people this has happened to linking with CN does absolutely nothing and they still can't help you. Your scenario only applies if you're someone who is carrying around a case of games with your system which I don't think is the case for most people here. If I lose my 3DS all I'm going to lose if the cart that's inside it, but if I went all digital I would lose every game I own.
Wait, you can only download it once? Once it's on your machine, that's it?

No, you can redownload as many times as you need to. You just can't download it to any other system.
edit: beaten.
So just an FYI.
Went to the mall today
Best Buy while listing as available on the 1st, isnt getting any until the 4th. However in Kingston, NY they are only getting 6 shipped in for Monday.
Gamestop on the other hand, what they did, which is why there are no preorders or people believing sold out is..... in an assinine move the switched the SKU's in the store and removed the game only SKU and replaced it with the package system SKU. So to preorder you'd have to preorder the bundle.
So I'd imagine they will only get around 10-15 copies.
Anyway that's my findings for today, just thought I'd share.
I pre-ordered the bundle, the clerk tried putting down manually for game-only but it didn't work, figured I just sell off the system somehow. Good thing is I can still get the artbook.
The game is installed in the system, not a hard copy. In case you didn't know.
Oh, what the fuck.
Ok guess I'll keep it.
It is a fine-ass looking system.

I don't know what to do
I want the retail version because of DAT Boxart but I don't want to risk not finding a copy in the first few days so I probably go digital, but I just don't know, maybe I buy it that way then a few months down the line I buy the retail version.

If every store gets 5 copies and is practically sold out, this is nothing but a great result for Nintendo and us FE fans.
Lets hope it continues.
cause it's only available at Gamestop right...There are a bit over 6k Gamestops, so that's 30k sales. Nothing special.

Silly me, I thought this was a Gamestop topic.

Just stuck $40 on my eShop account in preparation. Glad I won't have to wait after release, at least.
