Ni no Kuni for PS3

[varkias]

Yeah, wish they gave a little more time.  I just finally got mine pre-ordered.

Ugh just noticed that the website is going to stop taking pre-orders on the game August 31. I have got to come into some money fast.

Well technically you shouldn't be charged until the item ships, so you could pre-order now and take care of the money in the meantime.

[soera]

Cheers! I didnt realize they would charge at ship date. I assumed it was purchase date. Its ordered now!

[soera]

Well, damn it. It has a hold of the price on my credit card and I didnt have the spare money for it. I really hope its just a temporary thing cause if not, Im really screwed.

[jobocan]

Crap, that's really weird. All online stores that have pre-orders that I've dealt with never charged until the item was about to ship, that's how they all work. Maybe you can contact their customer service?

[scott]

Oh man, that sucks. 

[soera]

They could have been verifying the account ... but why do it with the entire purchase price? Most places have only verified with a $1.00 check.

*EDIT* I just called them. It was a temp hold on the money. It only lasts a few days so I am good still.

[jobocan]

Well that's a relief. I do wonder why the process is like that though, it clearly causes potential problems as we just saw.

[jobocan]

On a more cheerful note, canadians can now pre-order it! So I'm doing that now.

*edit*
I wonder if they'll extend the pre-order time because canadians are catching it pretty late.

[soera]

Your wish has been granted! http://rpgfan.com/news/2012/1849.html

I hope it makes it to bonus #2 with the extended time. Regardless, Im glad I pre-ordered. I really see this game as my sole obsession next year.

[jobocan]

Cool stuff. And since we're at 81% towards the next bonus, I do think we'll reach it pretty easily.

[soera]

It only has 4 days though ... lets hope the people at that convention really like the pre-order idea! I love every thought of this game already and an extra bonus is going to make me a super happy mofo.

[varkias]

Good news!  I see they are adding a soundtrack now as well!

[soera]

Up to 88% now with 3 days to go. Good luck this weekend!

Btw, is anyone getting a copy from a different pre-order source? Im keeping my pre-order at Gamestop as well as this one.

[varkias]

I just received an email that says the release date has changed to September 4th. Anyone else get this?  That seems odd, I feel like I'm reading it wrong
