oh god. the EU box is so much nicer. is the manual different? drippy in plastic? D:
I've since had a second email saying there's a problem with the second card too, despite the fact there's plenty of money available and I've never had a problem with it before. Although this time when I went to my account there was no option to revise payment or anything, just the order sitting there saying Awaiting Despatch. Tried their customer service number and it's just a recorded message telling you to look at the site or email them.Exact same situation here, ordered on July 12th as well...
I also deeply hope all goes well now.

Not holding out much hope at this point, but we'll see.
Me: "But what about the copy you were about to send me?"
GAME: "It is sold out, sir. I do apologise you cannot order this item at this time"
Me: "So how is my copy sold out then?"
GAME: "Again I apologise for this, you cannot re-order this item at this time"
I left at that point. How on earth does my copy of the game - which they were about to send me - become "out of stock" when it cannot be ordered by anyone??
I just had visions of a copy sitting in a warehouse with my name on it, which will likely get sent to a random store in the country.
In my rage I went to ebay and paid over the odds for a copy with some Paypal funds I had extra. I just want the edition I ordered months ago. Fucking GAME.
They oversold.
I did think that, but then I realised I pre-ordered the day it went up on their website to "save disappointment"...
They oversold.
Please pm me this site, thanksI dont get why people even use GAME for anything.
I ordered mine this morning from the banned site. I hope I get it. They put it back on their site last night but I couldnt order.
I tried again this morning and they let me order.
Please pm me this site, thanks

The fact that they were still selling it on their sites until a couple of weeks ago worries me. I can't help but feel they may have just massively oversold it and are using this as a way out. I'm almost positive I remember the same thing happening in the past, with the same mysterious payment errors, but I can't place the occasion.Zavvi, The Hut and Sendit are all the same company. Shit, I hope this is just some extra confirmation for them because we preordered so long ago.

I'm not so sure most places have any sort of first come, first served system in place. Even Namco's own store didn't, with people who ordered early getting cancellations and latecomers getting their game. The fact that The Hut Group are such a shitty company in general doesn't fill me with any confidence that they'd be remotely bothered about such things.You may be right, but what I can say is that the experience I've described so far is for an order placed on 19-Jul-2012, which just seems ridiculous.

Count me in on the payment problem bandwagon. Ordered at The Hut some time ago, before it was sold out in any shop in EU. I guess I did because it sold out in NA.
Though, to be honest, my bank is a bit annoying sometimes, they block my card from time to time for "security purposes". Guess I spend too much, lol.
If it doesn't work out, my buddy will be very disappointed, I was hoping to import it for him since I managed to get a US edition for myself and he did not.
Jesus, it's the same fucking problem in the Netherlands. We just got word from Namco Bandai that pretty much the entire country isn't getting the Wizard's Edition. I called a bunch of other stores and it's the same story.
So yeah: FUCK YOU NAMCO BANDAI
wait whut?! where did u get this info?
Just got the call from my local shop.
Also called a couple of other shops.....nothing, same story everywhere in the Netherlands
Probably not.
If you have a European DLC, then *usually* it'll only work in conjunction with a European Disc. However, I found out in the past that "Europe" disc/DLC often covers a vast amount of countries and often include Australia/NZ. In other words, I can often buy Australian disc and I can actually use UK or DE DLC because they were all manufactured by the European arm of PSN.
After you install the disc and DLC, however, you usually can play on any account you want to play. What usually happens is that I'll buy an Australian game/DLC and then I'll pay on my main PSN account, which is US-based.
So it seems that they are investigating.Sadly we have no news from Zavvi regarding this issue and are waiting to hear
Pre-ordered with The Hut round about July last year, yet they won't accept my payment. I've tried three goddamn times now, yet keep getting the same Payment Problem email. Incidentally, this is the first time I've purchased something from their site, and probably the last.
The thing is, it's pretty impossible to get any help from them. The phone number isn't even real. I've tried twice with the payments. They reply to someone on twitter about spending 30 odd quid on a phone bill phoning them about something, but they don't respond to people with current ordering problems. I wonder what this magical phone number he phoned was, or did they just turn off all the phones for the incoming Ni No Kuni shit storm?
