No one knows yet if ALL are cancelled. BB might have picked a date and cancelled everything after that, who knows. We have to wait and see since some people in this thread still have their orders active.

No that was for the limited edition of the game, which was originally advertised as Gamestop/Fry's only.
I still want that statue, I kinda hope I'll get lucky like with the WW HD LE and be able to get it again a few days before release.

What about BB Canada? Anyone got a cancellation email?
Yeah, I believe BB wasn't mentioned initially but somehow pre-orders opened up on their site (Wait, this was for the game's LE and not the console? Hard to keep up and remember all this info). People started pre-ordering (because why wouldn't you!?) and now there's this mass cancellation going on and we don't know whether it's all orders being cancelled or not. Someone fucked up bad and we're not sure who is reponsible (or mostly responsible). I don't think BB would open pre-orders before at least getting confirmation that they'd receive the item but that's just me speculating.

Same. Now I'm wondering if that has anything to do with us not getting canceled.

You jinxed yourself bro.
That sucks so much ass dude. Man as time passes more and more people post that theirs has been canceled.
Please don't cancel mine Best Buy.
I don't think pre-orders lasted for more than an hour, so all the orders are from 1/14/15.
honestly not sure how they're prioritizing these cancellations. OP claimed to have ordered within minutes of it going up and theirs was cancelled. I took about a half hour to order mine due to work but mine's still active (for now)

My order hasn't been canceled but I'm really afraid

It would really be shitty if they cancelled randomly.
I'm not a GCU member and mine is still active (for now at least).
Nope. Mine exists still and I am a regular old scrub consumer.

My order still seems to be open and BB just authorized a charge on my CC earlier today so hopefully I'll still get one...
I'm sorry to hear many of you guys had your orders cancelled though.
If it helps, Gamestop should still be taking pre-orders in-store - I was offered one at one of my local stores earlier today (which I declined b/c of my BB order).
Seriously?? Blah. Any idea when it's going into effect? I've ordered a few things already this year and don't recall any tax being added.

I don't know who delivers for Best Buy, but a lot of places - including the United States Postal Service itself, in some cases - have started delivering on Sundays recently.
I feel bad for those poor drivers/delivery guys, but hey - dumb stuff at your door 7 days a week.

Ok, that's probably what I'm remebering. I got an order for both the game and the console so probably mixed up the info for each.
This is pretty sad. On top of this I have a feeling there are going to be some very upset buyers on eBay when the resellers are forced to cancel a bunch of orders or simply can't fulfill the orders.
I hope Gamestop didn't oversell their allottment. I just checked and my order is active. Looks like this is going to be one of the most sought after 3DS Limited Editions with one of the smallest numbers. I feel bad for those that had their orders cancelled.

Got my order canceled too, but I had a backup order from Gamestop just in case shit like this happened.
Already spent my $50 gift card they gave on Bloodborne CE, so it works on preorders everyone!

I purchased mine as a guest and it's still up, so I doubt it.

Ebay prices just went up like crazy. Mine is not cancelled yet. *Knocks on wood*

Poor wording. Didn't mean to imply that GCU-ers were the only ones who would keep their orders. I'm just wondering if they're saving our cancellations for last.
Welp, there goes that theory.
I think GameStop still has them in-store, and the pre-orders from there and Target are all still valid.

I knew that some delivery services did it sometimes, but it's still something the stores have to allow. Gamestop still doesn't do Saturday or Sunday deliveries apparently, so if I don't get my (MH4U) system on release I'll be stuck waiting until Monday. (Although apparently I'll be able to get my $17 shipping charge back.)

Are you GCU or BB Elite member? They may be giving priority to their best customers since all the orders came in around the same time.
You are about to release a new system. You have 3 variations 1 regular and 2 special editions.
Your company is in dire financial straits and only just returned to profitability. You have X amount of dollars to allocate to making the initial shipment. If you ship too many you will lose money. If you ship too few you "tick off loyal customers" with a complex that makes them think they are owed whichever system they chose.
How many of each system do you release?

USPS started delivering Amazon packages at least in my area on Sundays recently.
It's...weird. Not sure if it's the same thing as his thing though.
Edit
h, sorry. a bit late
It works on ANYTHING.

I doubt Gamestop oversold considering they (officially) sold more today. Unless they're really stupid.
Seriously? :-(

You gauge consumer response by announcing the goddamn thing more than a month from release and get preorder numbers. Then you ship what you need to fulfill preorders PLUS some retail stock.
You know, what everyone else does.

I had no idea that day-dependent delivery depended on individual store policies - I just imaged that stores just offered as many delivery options as their local UPS/USPS/Fed Ex/etc distribution centers allow.
neither. I rarely ever even shop at best buy and I actually checked out as a guest because I don't even have a BB account :\

Damn, all these pre-orders being cancelled. Just, how many pre-orders did Best Buy take over there allocated stock?

I was told it was a mass cancellation and that the SKU is no longer in their system. Take that as you may.

This feels like a horror movie. We hide in the closet while Michael Myers looks for us.
Scalping pieces of shit such as the lady in the picture are usually able to return their leftover product with no hassle. There's really no risk involved that's why you see so many people (take a look at the slickdeals forums) doing it.
Did you still get the $50 coupon?
If they do cancel me they better damn well give me that coupon.
My order is still there...
Ah, gotcha. Yeah I don't know, but I fully expect my preorder to get cancelled though.
I'm perusing the games section to see what I want to do with that $50 gift certificate. I'm thinking it's going towards Xenoblade Chronicles X!
