Discussion: Bad move! What is fair?

[crazyviking03]

Yeah, I've worked for Amazon.com for the past several years, and if they are not shipping until the 4th (day after release) its because they have been told to. Normal circumstances, Amazon aims to ship preorders so that the customer gets their order on release day, especially this time of year, when business is a little slower, giving extra time to ship standard shipment preorders, and not just 1st or 2nd days. It all depends on the labor and rate for that day, they decide how deep into the order que to dip after all priorities have been picked, packaged and shipped.

I guess that says it all...

I would rather this not be a big deal, and there is still time for it not to be.

But come the 3rd or 4th of March there are going to be a lot of disappointed people if they don’t have a game in hand, that they have paid for. And many of them are going to be angry when they find out why they don’t have the game.

It would seem to me that this time the preorders are much more in demand than in the past. The interest in this game seems much larger than in the past titles, just from the numbers I see visiting Parliament.

The number of new people who have joined the Guild just to talk about the game is a bit staggering when you look at it.

A lot of the member here are also members at the other forums and word gets around.

These people are not going to be happy campers when they learn that CA or Sega has delayed their copy of the game.

Unhappy members tend to make an inordinate amount of noise and it is not going to help the products sails one bit.

I just hope they quietly make the changes necessary and it never causes a peep….but I guess we will see.

I think unless you picked overnight as your shipping, you won't see it on the 4th. When I got mine from Bestbuy, the email said I should expect it anywhere from the 4th to the 10th. I'm more than certain I won't see it on the 4th since I picked the standard shipping option.
