ok, so now i have to hope that this comes back in stock once again (of course it does, but i must not miss it then)... zavvi just cancelled my order because i had an in-stock item in this order together with the pre-order. payment problems with credit card; they also cancelled my pre-order even when there would have been plenty of time (3 weeks) to solve this problem.... zavvi style. :angry:
 
I had sent zavvi and email 2 days ago.. as usual their looking into the matter and will respond to me once they have the information... in other words - "piss off and dont ask us questions because we dont know what we're doing either"

I'm REQUESTING here because mods like digitalbabe, wreck etc tend to know information about stocks/ pre-orders going live/ cancellations etc that us regular members do not. That's why we come to the forum - because its a sharing of information.

Hey guys, if the Staff receives further info that can be shared it will be posted as usual. Thanks.

Sweet Judas Priest there's some rubbish being posted, which is the main reason I'm starting to stop reading the forums which is a real shame.



Just be happy this is getting made and enjoy it when it arrives.


Confused why the print run has caused so much trouble. Resale value maybe?

Even if Zavvi did say it was Ultra originally, the title has not been released yet, so either cancel, or keep it! It's your choice, you have time to act, if it really upsets you that much.

Way too much negativity on here lately, which is a shame.

EDIT; far from being a Zavvi lover - they have the worst CS I have encountered.

Maybe the confusion is from the "Ultimate" in the steelbooks title, and has just simply been misread as "Ultra" in the print run by some people. :dunno:
 
Brad, I think there is an understandable collector 'anxiety' that occurs anytime (regardless of title, retailer, etc) there is discussion about verbage in the description, whether initial, final, print run, and depending on where it is seen.

In addition, Steelbook collecting has always been engulfed in all kinds of speculation and mystery, it's just part of the hobby. All we can do is order the titles that are of interest and base that decision on info that is available at the time of order, and adjust orders if we see fit. At HDN, from the time this thread was posted, we were not given any info about 'ultra limited' print run for this title, and the thread was posted exactly as the info was given to us. Whether someone at Zavvi made an error in sending out e-mails/adding info to the site, or plans for the title changed from 'ultra' to 'limited', and all of that got reposted with outdated info at another site, I have no idea-as many of us are, I am busy helping to keep HDN updated and a fun place to be for collectors, and don't have the time to track and compare descriptions that may change for 1000's of items, at dozens of retailers.

But rest assured, if we are given further 1st hand updates on this title that can be shared, we will.

Lets move on please...
 
yes folks, if you don't want it just because it doesnt have the word "ultra" in zavvi's description, please cancel! i need this to come back in stock!

FYI, there's easily over 100 of these on eBay at the moment; one of the highest amount of listings I've ever seen for a Zavvi Exclusive anyway. Each listing has between 2-5 copies available with a few 10+. Prices have been steadily dropping too, now to under £20, to compete with the other listings prior to release.

So if you haven't got one, don't order off eBay just yet. They won't want to be stuck with a rake of them, so pre-orders will inevitably get cancelled - and they'll end up back available to purchase on Zavvi around release time.

thanks for the tip, rpg!
i wouldn't ever order from ebay when there is still good chances that this will be back in stock anyway.
the thing is, i had 3 copies on pre-order with stacked codes (turned out to be 15€ (12GBP) each). but zavvi cancelled without a good reason (payment problems could have easily been solved within the 3 weeks until release date). when it comes back, i think i will have to pay the higher price, but whatever... i will get one for sure.

first time ever I got an email from Zavvi saying there was a payment problem. I always used paypal and there has never been a problem before. Do people experience the same with this item?
:dunno:
