Xenoblade Chronicles X: NA Special Edition announced.

Any in-store pickup option for GS? Don't want to wait or pay for shipping

if you live near a gamestop you might be able to go in store and do an in store preorder thingy whose name is escaping me.

it's the ordering process that they used on the amiibo preorders that makes you pay everything up front, but they at least give you free shipping on the preorder as it has to be shipped to your home and not to the store.
 
Managed to secure my LE from Gamestop. Thank god...

Me too!

Alright, so hopefully now that peeps are pre-ordering from Gamestop they'll start cancelling Amazon orders and I'll get a second shot. Got a crapload of Amazon credit saved up and not much otherwise so that's my best shot.

Pray for me GAF.

Fuck I'm going to be F5-ing all day aren't I.
 
No free shipping codes for gamestop.com anymore? I ordered one but I'd rather get it from Amazon. .. free shipping plus no tax, but $10 more is better than getting raped on ebay
 
Got one from GameStop, but like everyone else, I'm hoping amazon or best but gets it. GameStop is just my fallback.

I'm not even excited yet since i don't want this to be the copy I get. But better than nothing I suppose.

No one is likely to cancel their Amazon preorder for the privilege of ordering from GameStop. Lots of Amazon Prime members. If Amazon got more I would cancel my LameStop preorder. Especially if Best Buy puts them up.

I just like Amazon for the free 2 day shipping. Love Prime.
 
Manage to place a pre-order. Doesn't hurt since they don't charge till shipping, rather see if I can place one in a store to save the shipping to Puerto Rico (7 dollars).

there hasn't been a free shipping code for preorders for a while now (at least 6 months) Saver still works on in stock orders over $35 though
 
Not sure. I hesitated because I wondered the same thing but given I won't be able to go out until tomorrow or Friday, I got it now.

Would I be able to change it to an in-store pre-order if it's still up when I go?

Dunno, but you can cancel your online order fairly easily.

Pretty sure I had one for my taken king ce... still regret cancelling that, should have waited closer to release. The extra one would have almost paid for mine.
 
Anyone that managed to pre-order at Amazon but now has the Gamestop pre-order...would you be willing to ship your Amazon order to me instead of cancelling it? At cost price please...just know that it'd be going to someone that actually wants the game and isn't going to scalp it.

Please PM me if possible.

Many thanks.

why not order from gamestop?
They won't ship it to your area?

"Not available for in-store pickup"

So no.

-----------------

Got my order confirmation. I'll hold onto the Amazon order for now if the SE pops up again by November.

Yeah just called, online only, this was the reason I didn't get amazon, was hoping best buy or gamestop would allow in-store. I got it now cause I think its probably going to be online only.

We don't get charged until it ships right?

Correct sir.
 
Is gamestop known for canceling pre-orders near release date?

I really wouldn't know, but the one thing I got shipped from them was an Ike Amiibo order that I got on a whim during the craze and it was postponed since there wasn't enough stock, I didn't cancel it and eventually forgot about it. Like a month or so later I got the package, the order was still up all this time and they shipped it when they got more stock.

Anecdotes may vary from person to person though, specially since this is a SE, so I doubt the same thing would happen here.
