MGSV CE may have worldwide supply shortages; Possibly missing DLC codes

After speaking with amazon.ca chat, i didn't get any further information or help.

I was told to open an order with Amazon.com, but I pointed out it was a Collector's edition and as such, limited and out of stock on Amazon.com as well.

I got offered upgraded shipping but I mentioned if I don't get my item it serves no purpose.

Lol yeah that was what started this whole nonsense for me

My delivery date said Sept 4-8 and I asked why it wasn't Sept 1 so they "upgraded" my shipping to 1 day delivery and then I no longer had a delivery date at all
 
Wouldn't be shocked. Seems every major release suffers from these issues.

Even though my status is...

... I'm still not going to believe it until I see it. Amazon lies to me all the time.

Missing codes? Uncertain stock situations across all retailers? Yep, this is starting to look like your typical Konami CE release. All you can really do at this point is pray.

Oh God, my order is with Best Buy. I was already nervous about it, especially since I ordered it when they opened it back up in July, but if Amazon and other places are reported to having issues I guess I should just start to accept the fact that I'm not getting this.

The only time Amazon's messed up on a pre-order for me that I remember, they knocked 20% (30 bucks) off my order. Hopefully it won't come to that for you lot. Good Luck fellers.

Unfortunately this is true for me too... Had a few CE versions back ordered after they failed to ship by release... My delima right now is that I have an extra gamestop one in payment limbo and I was going to cancel it but now I'm not sure why I should do...
 
I would recommend to just buy the game day one and then sell it when the CE arrives. It's a loss of 10-20 bucks but you won't have to wait 2-3 weeks.

Any issues with Target.com? I was already dreading how long it'd take for them to ship but now shortages have me worried.\

Edit: Fuck, estimated delivery is: 09/03/2015-09/09/2015
 
Yeah I am definitely playing day 1

I'm just going to sell the unopened copy in my CE for close to full price

same here brother or sister. Same here.

Im definitely getting my copy on time. I found a local place that will sell it to me Monday but thats the best I got. I've forgotten about the CE at this point and am at least getting my game.
 
UK GAF..... anyone had any problems with GAME processing the limited edition PS4 console ?
For some reason they rejected my debt card :/

Probably just part of the marketing. Kojima wanted everyone to feel the phantom pain, knowing everyone who ordered the regular edition has it and is playing it while you most wait.

This makes me feel really brilliant for cancelling my ebgames.ca preorder in favour of my Amazon one. Ruh roh.

Both my Amazon and Bestbuy orders are still say September 1st.

*knock on wood*

I'm going to cancel the Amazon order this weekend. I only have it as a backup in case BB f's up.
 
I have a preorder of the CE through amazon.com that thankfully still says delivery by 8pm on 9/1.

I say that not to brag, but for insurance in case of shipping/supply issues, I also have a PSN preorder of the regular version so I can play Day 1. This is the first/only time I've ever done that, and I guess it'll be worth it either way.

edit - I'm worried though because i bought mine from BB in the second round of pre-orders that they opened up. :/

I'm on the same boat as you.

May they not play us like damn fiddles.

Theres people apparently on the BB forums complaining about being backordered. Dont risk it if you want to play day one imo.

Edit: I say this as somebody who's order looks exactly like yours for the CE

I'm in the US, ordered one Collector's Edition each from Amazon.com & GameStop.com within the first hour they were available. My Amazon.com order page says Tuesday by 8pm, which is an upgrade from "September 1st" which it said in the past.

I took days off from work for this, one of them better show up on Tuesday!
But... if it doesn't I will play Steins;Gate until I've seen all endings! That's my backup plan!

Fingers crossed!

Well I don't really have a choice. It's the only pre-order i have. If it doesn't happen I can always just go to the store and buy a standard copy if need be.
 
Best Buy orderer here. Ordered in July. Says "Order Status: In Progress" and "Expected Release Date: 09/01"

Not sure what to make of it yet, I don't see any expected delivery date.

Mine is good...now. The GameStop guy said there was "Like, maybe a 1% chance it may not go through..."


WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

I'm still expected to receive my order on the 2nd... no issues *knock on wood* (US Amazon, pre-ordered on March 9th).

Yep, I'm in the second round too. I almost canceled my first order because of this one, but decided to hold on to it for now as a back up plan. I don't trust Best Buy's preorders on limited items yet.

Where did you get your money tree?

Since when is having $160 considered having a ton of cash?
 
Ordered from BB too all the way back in March. If it's backordered I'll just pre-order a copy with my CGU and use some reward certificates to lower the price further. Might end up making a profit if I sell it to the local used book/movie/music place once the CE arrives.

I get you, Im preordering a standard tmrw from Best Buy probably since I have GCU. I want day one edition and to play the game asap
