Please tell me you will have a lot more than 5,000 for CSH!
Funny enough when I went to order it said the Vita cases were all sold out lol.
Does ctrl+f5 work? That forces a full refresh I think.
Did you get a confirmation email from LRG? If so, then you are ok.

Same Here. Vita ver.
You mean refreshing the page? No. Ctrl +f5 just opens file for me.

PS4 still in stock but Vita was available less than `1 min as I was refreshing the entire time. I'm all for Limited Releases but if I can't get a copy when I'm on the site, logged in, refreshing the entire time not sure I'm going to bother with future releases.

I've done everything as possible as well and could not order the Vita version. I was able to order the PS4 version no problem.
This is really frustrating and I hope I don't have this problem if I try to get the Vita version for the second batch.
I haven't missed one release yet but they really need to figure out what is causing these issues.

Still showing me 3 Vita copies left in stock
Ah rats I think it's sold out now... It allows me to add to cart but can't go any further after pressing checkout saying it's out of stock.
Anyway if you're still having trouble during the restock later try Ctrl+R. Not sure which browser you're using but sounds like Internet Explorer from the Ctrl+F5 behavior.

Well, PS4 version has lasted 20 minutes, so at least they got demand right for that!

Yeah, PS4 version went to cart just fine, though sadly I don't want that version.
LRG, is there any work around to this? Like, can I order the PS4 version if it happens again and just make a note that I want the Vita version. I really don't want to be stuck like this again.

Thing is, I have an appointment at 6EST, so I was really counting on making it here. Now, I have to cancel an appointment to have another shot. And who knows if it glitches on me again.

Well I can report trying to order Vita from Mobile Chrome was broken.
Got a PS4 order in. Guess Limited Runbhas made it to Mondo levels of insanity.

Yep, not had a problem until today and I've gotten all of their previous releases. I actually love Limited Releases but if you are selling out in under a min it's basically luck of the draw on who gets it.
Hopefully I can snag a Vita copy during the 2nd batch. I seriously hope some folks didn't order more then one for each platform
I hope they did so LRG can cancel those orders and put more up for sale.

That's because the PS4 version still hasn't sold out yet, which wouldn't really solve anything

If they did, it'll be canceled per the site warnings.
PS4 was a PS+ game so I'm guessing people want the Vita more cuz of that.

They can compare time stamps of the orders.

That... wouldn't work. They'd have to cancel the order of someone who thought they'd gotten a copy by ordering from the Vita version.

Really didn't expect the niche release for the niche system (Vita) to sell out first, even at half the the number of pressed copies.

For whatever reason I thought this would be up at 6PM BST. Missed Vita version so ordered PS4. Will try the second batch for Vita instead...hopefully I'm on time.
Was it? I never checked. Now I'm confused.
They could easily take it out of the second or third batches. Seems pretty obvious.
I got my Vita copy through mobile Safari, no issues here.

Hopefully this yields more Vita games and similar print runs to the PS4 games from now on.
Part of the reason Vita sold out so quick is because...
For one, they split the total copies up into two batches.
And the Vita version has half as many as the PS4 version.
So the Vita version is getting 2500 copies worldwide, which means only 1250 were available this morning.
Also I tend to think the Vita install base, while small, is very active and buys lots of games. So while Vita versions of whatever may not sell "a lot!" compared to big platforms, when there's niche releases the Vita platform tends to do pretty darn well.

I ordered through mobile chrome with no issues when it all went live. I don't think it is specific to a browser.
I think LRG should strive for parity since it's clear that when in small numbers (under 5000), both PS4 and Vita can pull off those numbers.
Which is why CSH will have at least 5000 copies for the Vita, right?
And done, that's our motto right there.

I mean, I know it's frustrating (is for me too!) but this seems like a bizarre solution. And they're going to have to go through every single PS4 order to check to see whether people were actually ordering a Vita version.
They're already a small company and this is a pretty large undertaking as it is. They need to improve/move their website but sometimes demand is demand, and there's clearly loads there for this particular game on Vita.
Uh, they do read the extra messages you put on the orders. They don't have to go through every PS4 order. Don't know why you'd think that.
And a bizarre solution is better than no solution, though why do you think it's bizarre?

The lower print probably also makes it the more sought after one this time, I bet. Last time, with SMRPG, Vita version seemed to take a tiny bit longer to sell out especially in the second batch, so it was reactionary caution I guess.
Best to err on the optimistic side for both versions imo. They could have made another little chunk of cash money today.

Because they'll have an order on their system showing for PS4 which they'll have to cancel and then put back onto the site for someone else to get, and then take one from the Vita stock which will take one order away from someone else.
The idea of having a second batch wasn't really for if you missed it first time you'd get a second chance (although that's certainly part of it); it was that people from all over the world order these games and for some of them it's not practically possible to order it at a specific time. And if they sold out of all 2,500 copies because everyone who hadn't gotten a Vita version had ordered a PS4 version with a note on, then there'd be no stock left over for a second batch.
And they would have to check through every order to see if it had a note on if they implemented it. Why wouldn't they? If they were allowing people to do that then they'd have to check.
It's a logistical nightmare, I don't know why you think it'd be practical for a 2-man team to do at all.
But at the end of the day, it's not up to me, it's up to the guys from LRG.
I dunno but the Vita is a platform where JRPG/JRPG-styled games thrive so having a decent Vita print is a good idea.
Yeah, the diff platforms have different markets for certain game types. Definitely expect the more japanese-related or RPG leaning stuff to be more popular on the Vita than something that isn't.
