Just came in. I'm in Ottawa. I can confirm no duties/brokerage fees.

Argghh. Mississauga and still nothing. Congrats though!

I'm thinking I might put playing the game on hold till Friday night just so I can waste the hours away.

 

[TheExodu5]

I'm probably going to hold off until the weekend as well. I'm probably 3/4 of the way through Radiant Historia...if I start another RPG I'll never finish it. Path of Exile is taking up so much of my time.

 

[Jessicat]

Got my NA WE in today at around noon, I'm in Toronto [Canada], no fees and I didnt even need to sign for it, my bro said they jsut threw it at the doorstep and left ._.;
Also someone can't properly weigh or something, there was nothing extra in the box to add extra weight, just a flimsy piece of foam. Made an unboxing video here:

For all you peeps that are still waiting, no worries, my PS3 died in December so I can't even play :/

You are so close to me, shame I have a working ps3 but no game.

Are you wearing PJ's? It's almost 4PM =P

 

[TheExodu5]

This wizard coin would make the best pog ever.

With the EU retailers getting more stock, I feel a bit more confident that fishpond are going to come through with my order. Fingers crossed.

Hehe, yea, a perk of being unemployed is sitting in pj's all day because you can XD Though that vid was taken around 12:30, about half an hour after I work up, lol.

You are so close to me, shame I have a working ps3 but no game.

There's a sale for PS3 slims going on now, but I just barely missed the last one that sold online at best buy, and dunno if any other store will price match it ;^; I seem to have crappy luck.

Nice! Mine is arriving tomorrow (Montreal).

Too bad our WE is pretty sucky compared to the NA one, though. No soundtrack, no coin, no art prints, much shittier packaging. Oh well, the book is the reason I went for the WE anyway.

They also just sent me a newsletter with Ni No Kuni Limited Edition in the title. It'd be pretty poor to do so if they had no stock, but you never know...

 

[Replicant]

hopefully my bestellung will be versandt.

I LOL'd.

 

[kamikazekoala]

Got my WE in mediamarkt in Belgium today. Had it pre-ordered, but there were only three pre-orders including mine there, so maybe that helped a lot to get it. Now, having time to play the game, that's something else...

 

[Jessicat]

Nice! Mine is arriving tomorrow (Montreal).

lol thanks XD
And I was trying to fix my lack of console issue, but failed. I wouldn't trade the game for a new console though, that would defeat the purpose XD

 

[MicH]

So if you're getting the Wizards Edition is the guide worth getting?

 

[Aeana]

So if you're getting the Wizards Edition is the guide worth getting?

If you want a guide, yes. The Wizard's Companion has info about familiars and some locations, but it's not really sufficient as a strategy guide.

 

[nasos_333]

Just noticed that my amazon.de Wizard's Edition is listed as a "discontinued order". No idea why that is. Sigh.

In your orders page ??

 

[BosSin]

Uh oh, I recently saw this on fishpond's order tracker:

29 Jan, 2013 11:32 AM

Your order for the item below has now completed administrative processing and has been released to the allocated warehouse:

We estimate this item will ship by 15/02/13

For context, this is another message I had previously seen on the same tracker:

[PK Gaming]

I had a dentist appointment, so I couldn't be there when my copy arrived

(I feel like I missed my childs birth)

jokes aside, I got my copy and i couldn't be happier

 

[Lucid07]

YES! My Hardback guide is on the way and if this play order goes through for the Wizard edition, that should be on the way tomorrow/ Thursday too!!

 

[Tornintator]

Does the EU have shortages still?

There's a reliable online UK retailer selling the collector's ed for £70, I figure I could get a spare then put it on ebay.

God, come already

Which one?

 

[BosSin]

I am getting really paranoid about this fishpond order and think they are going to send the standard version instead of Wizard's edition. Here's the full tracker info that they have kept updated, note the discrepancy in titles:

play.com, posted on last page too.

If a lot of retailers are getting more stock then I won't bother as prices on ebay will drop.

I saw Play.com mentioned earlier... Might be them? Beaten lol.

Ah ok, not the biggest fan of Play.com.

 

[Takuya]

lol thanks XD

I purchased one of the discounted slim ps3s this week. What a great buy at $179!

You mean to say you are unable to play the game? That sucks!

 

[BosSin]

Ok, I think my previous post is a false alarm.
I followed the link to the product page on that tracking section and it sent me here:
http://www.fishpond.co.uk/Games/Ni-No-Kuni-PS3-Blu-Ray/3391891965804

...


Seems like they have just changed the title of the actual game listed, causing confusion.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Sin you're really going nuts here, calm down don't let a game destroy your health.

 

[commish]

How classy...

I just can't understand why someone would have a problem with people who flip these on ebay. Selling just ONE wizard edition would fund my entire gaming budget for 2013.

Of course, I say that as a man with no Wizard edition.

 

[LiK]

Uh oh, I recently saw this on fishpond's order tracker:

you shouldn't worry about the wording. the link in the account goes to the WE product page.

In light of how your fellow gamers got screwed over on this one by Namco in the US (and possibly by the likes of The Hut Group in Europe), it's just not very nice to capitalize on their despair.

I just think given the mess with this edition (US mostly, but looks like the EU one isn't without its own problems) it's a bit poor taste to come into this thread to let people know you're going to scalp a copy. Talk about rubbing it in for those who missed out.

I mean, even if you are planning to scalp a copy, why would you need to come into this thread and say so?

Ah, now THAT I agree with.

 

[Chance Hale]

Woot, it finally came in. Going to feel awful opening it though as I could be selling it for 350 dollars. But, I am a good person so I won't be taking advantage of people! Plus I want it!

(Friend sent me the Japanese version back when it came out)

Edit: Crazy size, sorry!

 

[Mature]

In your orders page ??

Yes, but apparently:

Someone at CAG said that's a mistranslation, because they preordered a regular game and movie to test it, and they both said "DISCONTINUED ORDER."

It says on the Wizard's Edition page that all preorders will be fulfilled.

 

[Erekiddo]

Uggg, finally! Good luck to those who ended up not getting one.. this was a ridiculous mess from start to end.

 

[Peagles]

Holy shmow that book is big! Can't wait til I get mine!

Yeah I ordered my book a while ago from B&N... really wish it would arrive.

Mine apparently shipped from Book Depository on the 24th. Stuff usually takes a week or so to get to NZ so should be soon! Pity I won't have the game for a bit longer though.

I'm getting those two extra familiars anyway, they're a preorder bonus at the Swedish retailer I've preordered from.

 

[Mudron]

Anyone hear yet from Namco/Digital River about the free guides we're supposed to be getting in lieu of our canceled WE orders?

 

[beast786]

Got mine today. the box is much smaller than I expected.

 

[Mature]

Anyone hear yet from Namco/Digital River about the free guides we're supposed to be getting in lieu of our canceled WE orders?

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

[Quadratic]

Just a question about the German version. Is it the UK/PAL edition with just a slip cover for Germany or is it an all German box and cover art? ASking if anyone has bought German PS3 games before.

 

[Cbajd5]

Yes, but apparently:

It's definitely a mistranslation, my order for Jam With the Band that's already shipped (although the shipping status hasn't updated, but I've got a tracking number) says the same thing.

I'm actually kind of glad that I learned about Amazon.de, because I really wanted Jam With the Band.

Edit: Also, shipping was more for Jam With the Band, which I really don't get. And it'll be arriving the last day the Wizard's Edition could possibly arrive according to them.

 

[Pyrokai]

I sure hope this fiasco doesn't deter Namco Bandai from doing awesome stuff like this in the future, though. That would make me very very sad

 

[LiK]

i think the fact that there is such a large demand means people care about the LEs so they know they should make more in the future. they just need to decide if they wanna continue with Digital River or not.

I hope they don't for you guys' sake (NA gamer) sounds like their order system is terribly outdated and prone to problems.
