Artbook and game get!



The manager said their shipment included less than the number of preorders they actually took.  So he only let me have one of my two preorders :\

Hopefully I'll still get a book for the second order.

Right? Maybe in the future I'll have a friend preorder under their name...

Maybe in the future, you'll stop buying from GameStop and start pre-ordering on Amazon instead. ;)

Honestly, that's where 99% of my preorders go now. Only the VERY RARE cases do I still go back to GS. Mainly because of the douchebaggery involved w/ them constantly begging you got magazine subs and preorders. ha

Ha, I never preordered with them before really, but when they started offering GS-exclusive swag, well... Did the Amazon ones come with an artbook too?

I probably should've had GS just send me the online order, but I didn't want to pay $5 and find that it didn't come with an artbook either.

Not a huge problem if I end up without the other artbook. I was going to return the second copy of the game anyway :P

Nice.  Well, lesson learned :)  I usually try to see if Amazon will have the preorder as well and go through them if so.  I've already preordered Soul Hackers and EOIV with them..

Just went by my local GS to bug them about my second copy of FE:A, artbook, and the 3DS bundle.

The clerk said the bundle will be in this Friday, but there are less being shipped than preordered (I might've been the slacker preorder as I only asked for it on the 4th).

He also said that there will not be a second shipment of physical copies of the game coming to them until the first week of March.

March.

I asked him why, and he said that they wanted to push the eShop version of the game.  He and I commiserated that this was unfair to both the store and the fans as we knew that fans of the series would really want the physical version of the game.  The fact that a good amount of people preordered and that the store was provided less copies than were reserved just leaves everyone disappointed.

What's the point of preordering if it's a gamble that you'll even get the game on launch?

At least I got a second artbook out of the whole thing - never hurts to ask.

Amazon sent me a notice that my copy shipped late last night. So I guess I could see mine within the next couple days. No idea if I'm still getting the artbook or not until I open the package...

My copy is out for delivery! And yet this morning i get a notice in the email that Amazon:

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Your purchase of "Fire Emblem: Awakening" for the Nintendo 3DS is experiencing further shipping delays from the manufacturer. Amazon apologizes for this inconvenience with your order.

Sincerely,
The Amazon Video Games Team"

Maybe they'll ship me a second one "on accident"! haha

My only guess is they sent me a notice because they send it to all people who had it on pre order. And since I have this and Soul Hackers on order together it still counted my order as open? Idk

Yeah, I guess that would explain it better & make some more sense.
