Ni no Kuni for PS3

[desocietas]

aghhhhh

Is that a vote of disapproval? :O

Ha, not personally a fan of designs that look like you just stuck a sticker on your torso.  A lot of custom items on CafePress look like that - lazy design, in my opinion 

[soera]

Oh I agree. My actual shirts are an entire rainbow (18 to be exact) of blank t-shirts. I have a couple with minimal designs on them but for the most part Im just generically nothing! My pick of black over white is simply the picture itself. I probably wouldnt order either.

Mine says the same thing about my order through Bandai/Namco I think they should give us more expensive taste players more extras... I mean I am avoiding being buried 6 feet under while alive if my wife finds out.....

Ni No Kuni's FB post today is about a contest to win a Wizard Edition box... The comments the post is getting is pretty brutal:

I guess I'd be more upset if I owned a PS3.  But I'm ok with waiting a bit longer, as long as it doesn't show up all beat up from the rain.

I actually dont mind the wait ... I still have Suikoden II to play. But I can definitely understand the frustration of the people who are complaining. Its a slap in the face to the people that did order the wizard's edition. I cant see them selling too many limited editions on future releases after the mishap from this one.

Im also kind of concerned about another thing. Apparently the company that is shipping them for Bandai (Digital River they are called) is well known for having pretty damaged items.

[foxhack]

Wait. Digital River, the company that tries to force download insurance on everything digital it sells?

Good god, why do people still use them?!

[libernullmal]

more than likely Namco/Bandai has a terms agreement or something with Digital River that is why they still use them... Though I saw the transaction in my credit card and was told that it was approved by my credit card. I just have to wait till they ship mine.. I believe it will be tomorrow.. On a good note I received my Amazon Official Guide Today with the Gold Hurly Familiar DLC

On a bad note I heard they were unable to remove the add to cart button on time (in 2 hours) and that people were having cancelled orders.

Bad news for some of us... You might get an email like this (I just received this re: my 2nd wizard edition order):

I would be more than pissed if I got that. I havent gotten any email ... yet. But they did charge my card this morning.

[jobocan]

Still got nothing. I'd be PISSED if that happened though, because I actually pre-ordered within the first few hours the Wizard Edition became available to Canada. It would have to be a pretty freaking dumb mistake to have been sold out already at that point... It's already stupid that they kept taking pre-orders if their stock was so limited.

[scott]

Ouch. That's crap, I'm glad I didn't jump on the 2nd batch now.

[libernullmal]

It happened to me an $20.00 is bull that is a slap in the face.

[scott]

Looks like Amazon finally remembered to hit the send button.

I just got my Promo code for the Griffy Familiar. Good thing I haven't started playing yet.

Im feeling a little better. Its actually possible to track this through ups via your order number. Go to ups and find the "track by reference" option. Put in your order number. I just did and it says it should be at my house by end of day tomorrow.

Nice!  Did you pay for faster shipping?  I paid for the cheapest, and the order I placed in August just says that the label was printed, but no other info about shipping.

Also, there are *two* pending charges from Namco on my credit card.  So either they're charging me twice or they might actually send me my second order despite the cancellation email *fingers crossed*.
