I’ve just been informed via Twitter that UK video game retailer GAME are currently switching The Last Story limited edition copies to the standard edition, and they aren’t actually notifying people that they’re doing it. Twitter user James Duckett only found out that they had changed the pre-order when he logged into his account and found that the two limited edition copies he ordered had been downgraded to standard edition. GAME has pulled the limited edition version of The Last Story from their website.
That sucks for people who wanted it.
Well ain’t that a kick in the shitter.
well they can always order it online i hear game kinda sucks but im from the us and gamestop is cool
it was an online order
No games are suck only preference.
I heard some people also saying Xenoblade is suck.
Most rumors are invalid. A lot of good games suffer from this.
Not game as in The Last Story, GAME as in the store that is doing this.
People should sue. 0_0
No, people should cancel order of course be mad at GAME – and order the special edition somewhere else.
Maybe now the game industry will stop this train of releasing things in the UK sooner than the US, where its largest market rests. I hope that retailer gets sued and shat on though, that isn’t fair for anyone.
It’s not just UK you fool. It’s all of Europe. It’s not up to Ninty as a whole, Nintendo of Europe just had enough cash to release it.
IT’S NOT JUST EUROPE! IT’S AUSTRALIA ALSO.
I needed to make caps so you can see it better :P
Le sigh. Sorry, I haven’t been feeling well. All coding and no play makes Matt a confused lad.
TL;DR version : Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHY DON’T THEY RELEASE IT IN THE US. STUPID BRITS.
“STUPID BRITS” – For what? Translating the game to English, grow some brain cells dumbass. It’s the store’s fault
Oh shut your stupid mouth and learn to read. This had nothing to with the fact that the UK is getting the game.
You wish! :P
It’s nice Europe actually getting games before the US ;_; Hell, there are loads of games I’ve wanted in the past that never came here like Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor and it amuses me to see you guys distressed. :P
this is not Nintendo’s fault. Game have lost their credit insurance (if they cant pay the insurance company will) there for most companies want money up front. Which Game dont have. They have had stock issues with Nintendo for ages. The company will blame Nintendo if you ask them mind. its what make zavvi and woolworths buckle in the end. no stock – no sales= no new stock
I wonder why they did that…
That’s a real dick move GAME. They seem to be making a lot of missteps lately.
Leave luck to heaven.
I was in GAME this morning.
The staff approached and tried to flog me a 3DS, Vita and a discounted 360 bundle … so yes they are getting pretty desperate for sales it seems.
I fucking hate shop staff jumping out at you! I just want to browse the shelves without people hounding me for a sale every 2 minutes.
Lol similar thing happened to me in Liverpool.
thats why i left and i was a store manager. its used to be about the customers and then it become about ripping them of with warranties etc
Gamestop Did something similar with Tesident Evil. Out of the twelve pre-orders, 8 of them got bumped from preorder status, losing their bonus.
*resident
Tesident Evil: Revelaitons :)
I know at the gamestop in my area had 15 pre orders and stupid ass Capcom only sent 3 cases. I had mine preordered since October, I wish they would give the pre order bonus when you go there like they use too
I don’t know why GAME is trying to keep their things so secret.
Thats the main game store in my town, if that goes…
RIP getting Wii U at launch &
RIP GAME :(
yh exactly!! game is fucking up so much lately :( i want to get wii u at midnight launch from game, i cant do that if they die :( im gonna get the standard edition of last story from them, every little helps
use the internet to buy it. use a trusted site like Amazon or shopto.net
What if I didn’t make an account when I ordered it how do I check? O_O
email them asking about the situation
Good luck with that. They take ages to response back
Yet another great move by the tactical geniuses that is Game.
I just ordered from Shop.to. Getting packed and ready to be sent out as we speak. I’ll probably have it tomorrow.
Amazon had the limited version down to £39.99 too.
