would come out to over $100 after tax and shipping. Too rich for my blood.

 

[KillerDark]

It sucks that Amazon was out but managed to get it ordered from Gamestop at least! Can't wait to play this game

 

[LiK]

got it! $5 shipping and tax made it $100+ tho. gah.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Does gamestop not do free shipping?

i type in SAVER for the coupon code and that works sometimes but it's really slow shipping

X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA

 

[dreamfall]

Pheeew. Thanks for the heads up y'all- totally ordered it, crazy shipping cost and all. Hooray!

 

[drtomoe123]

Thanks for the heads up! I've been cutting back on games, but I'm too excited about this game to pass it up.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

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.

Might as well preorder at GS for now if you really want it. Not like theres a difference

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Does Gamestop charge you now or later (when it ships)?

 

[Ridley327]

Does Gamestop charge you now or later (when it ships)?

When it ships. Depending on the card you use, they might have a temp hold on it to verify that it's a valid payment method, but it goes away.

Thanks.

Was hoping Amazon would get more in stock, but since it's been so long (and MGSV) I've forgotten about wanting this.

 

[LiK]

GameStop charges when they ship and you can cancel before it ships. There's no risk.

 

[JaseMath]

Hours later, still available. Maybe this isn't as limited as the Amazon listing made it seem.

 

[LProtag]

I got one, but I'm hoping to cancel it and get one from Amazon so I can have it when it actually comes out.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Hours later, still available. Maybe this isn't as limited as the Amazon listing made it seem.

amazon was after or around 6PM EST (and was up for a few hours IIRC)

this was up around 2 PM EST

people are still at work/school

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Tommorow is the last day for the Best Buy Mario Maker 7 Button Preorder offer.

Hopefully it gets on Best Buy by then because there is nothing else I want from the games they have listed.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Got it from gamestop. Hopefully I'll get it from Best Buy and just cancel the gamestop order. Dat GCU...

 

[Gunslinger]

Game releases December 4th.

December 4th

Thanks!

 

[motherxwolf]

Managed to lock one in

 

[AliasGreed]

Yessssssss got this. Although i would prefere amazon with prime.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Can you cancel an in-store order and use the money you put down on someone else?

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Got one. Thanks for the link.

 

[Boylamite]

Here's Amazon.ca's boiler plate response to me on if they plan on selling this:

Thanks for writing to Amazon.ca.

I can understand your concern.

We expect our Canadian web site to expand and improve the selection of products and services we provide, but we have no further details to give you at this time regarding our plans for this item.

Also without having the exact information regarding our supplier, I'm unable to provide the exact information regarding the exact time frame when the item will be available in our website Amazon.ca.

However, I have passed your message about your interest in Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition - Wii U to the appropriate people in our company for their consideration. It is always important for us to hear how customers react to all aspects of shopping at Amazon.ca.

We are always expanding our selection, so you may want to check back occasionally to see if we have added this item to our offerings. Any updated information we have will be listed on the website as soon as it is available.

Thank you for your interest in Amazon.ca. We value your business and hope that we will see you again soon at Amazon.ca.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Can you cancel an in-store order and use the money you put down on someone else?

yes

maybe they can do it through Web-in-store? since this is online only

Though You have to pay it in full IIRC if you do this and it's shipped to your house

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

GameStop charges when they ship and you can cancel before it ships. There's no risk.

Thanks

 

[Sola Scriptura]

Anyone know if BB has had it listed yet?

 

[Dice//]

I got it, can't waaait (3 months T___T )

Spoiler

That said, I promise not to get all snooty because I got a pre-order over someone who "waited too long" if this pre-order doesn't stay up until tomorrow

 

[jlscool]

Just saw this topic popup on the first page and sure enough...just pre-ordered mine from Gamestop. Thanks NEOGAF

 

[DragoonKain]

Nope. Not yet.

Here's Amazon.ca's boiler plate response to me on if they plan on selling this:

That seems like a little more than a canned answer but still incredibly vague.

I'm not sure what to think. Some U.S. sites have been slow to update with it as well so I'm not worrying too much yet. The Happy Home Designer 3DS bundle was slow to be added to sites as well and still hasn't been updated on EB.

Speaking of EB, they don't seem to have Xenoblade Chronicles X at all.

Very strange.

I still think we will get it but in short supply.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

yes

maybe they can do it through Web-in-store? since this is online only

Though You have to pay it in full IIRC if you do this and it's shipped to your house

Yeah. I want it picked up in store. If it's shipped than I rather just keep my Amazon order. I'm already out but I'm thinking going to Gamestop would be a waste of time.

 

[Rebel Leader]

It's still up. WOW

 

[shuraiya]

It's still up. WOW

Hopefully it's long enough for everyone who complained about missing it the first time to get--or have gotten--one now.

 

[Dice//]

Indeed! Special thanks to Kuroneko (and Isotope!).

gamestop up
http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/games/xenoblade-chronicles-x-special-edition/125408

Up for pre-order at GameStop. Come on Best Buy...

edit: ffs kuro :^(

I'm surprised, 17 pages, mostly about the LACK OF, and they're back in stock for more than 4 hours and this topic has slowed to a crawl. x)

Waiting till its sold out to complain again lol

 

[SuperCambot]

Yeah and I was freaking out trying to renew my gamestop password via my phone browser when I saw this topic this morning, thinking the game was gonna disappear. But such is the new reality Nintendo has created for its fans (and its army of scalpers).

 

[MoxManiac]

I got an order in at Gamestop. A little pricey though ($5 or so tax and $7.50 shipping)

Hoping Best Buy will get it, would rather get it there instead.

 

[Rebel Leader]

It lasted around 6-7 hours

 

[R-User!]

Annnnd

I missed it!!!!

Here's hoping for Best Buy or that someone notices it back in stock again, alerts the thread, and I catch it this time.....

Amazon: 3-3.5 hours Saturday
GameStop: 6-7 hours Wednesday

So websites will probably have it up for a few hours

best buy will likely have it for a far smaller window, they tend to get less stock in general than gamestop or amazon and the power of GCU is strong.

I fully expect best buy to go live either tomorrow between 8-5CST friday from 11-8cst or sat from 10-7cst as those are when I will be work and unable to order

"work" is probably the reason why gamestop lasted so long and amazon didn't

Thanks. Will do later.

 

[BBboy20]

Wow, I had it at the ready to order, got distracted, got around to buying it and it says "cart empty due to availability"

........*sssiiiggghhhh*

 

[zulux21]

"work" is probably the reason why gamestop lasted so long and amazon didn't

maybe, I would put money on gamestop lasting longer because it had a larger stock allotment though.

I mean they were the exclusive publisher of xenoblade
they exclusive publisher of shulk amiibo
I was actually surprised they weren't the exclusive publisher of the LE. I would guess nintendo was going to give them more than other places.

I mean with the amazon thing no one knew to look for it and no one knew how limited it was thus demand was likely higher this go around even with work.
