The Pre-order updates thread! (Region free crap welcome too)

My Ketsui LE was delivered to my front door 20 minutes ago.

I have 2 hours, 40 minutes until I can leave work.

Sigh.

Also, NCS posted on their blog this morning the rest of their Ketsui allocation came in, so anyone who orders it from them by today will get it shipped today.

Like me! I got the shipping notification a few hours ago. Which means it should be here on Thursday or Friday. I'm hoping Friday actually.

[lmagus]

they say it's out of stock (3~5 days to restock)

I had my pre order for months, used all my credit card balance for the month, today they tried to charge me, and couldn't =(

I had to issue another order, which won't be sent today like the first would, because it went out of stock. damnit =(

[lmagus]

It says in the first post:

KETSUI (NTSC-J) | Regular & Limited editions (Release April 22)
Published by 5pb | First print contains capture guide book, LE adds soundtrack CD (VGI order adds giant arcade poster also)

I went to VGI website and didn't see anything about a giant arcade poster.

My wife is coming from UK next month, I'd order from there and wait for her to bring the game if there was really a poster bundled with the game.

[emphatic]

I went to VGI website and didn't see anything about a giant arcade poster.

When I made my pre-order, that's what the listing said. It even had the poster in the picture. Perhaps they've filled all of those orders already. It now says that it will be in stock the 24th (LE), so I'm not so sure. You can of course always email them and ask.

[brentsg]

All the Ketsui posters are butt ugly anyways.

[dmauro]

My UPS package suddenly no longer has a scheduled delivery date. What gives?

[lmagus]

AmiAmi already started shipping!

edit: Lee from VGI answered my e-mail about the poster:

"Hi, the poster was an option we added with the special edition of the game. It was the arcade poster (not 360 game) and it was more expensive than the normal limited edition of the game. We have sold out now though."

[charlie chong]

not every day you hear this

Thank you for your new order. As requested, we will send Ketsui by special delivery as soon as it arrives. There may be a slight delay due to the volcano.

[Shuurin]

Got this follow up e-mail from Amiami this morning, "Thank you for ordering with AmiAmi.

We are still trying to secure your order for the following item:

** Xbox360 Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra

Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain your item through our
usual distributors.
However, we will still attempt to contact other distributors that
may carry the item.
This process will take a few more days, and after that we will be
able to determine whether or not we can procure the item.
Thank you for your patience; we will e-mail you as soon as we
determine the final status of your order."

While I like that they are at the very least keeping me in the loop. Think my future purchases will be with P-A, at least they usually get enough to fill all preorders and then some. Its a conspiracy Amiami! You don't want me to get half shipping

[Elixir]

Amiami's sold out of the normal version. They still have the LE in stock, though.

[Fudoh]

Yesterday and today's UPS flights out of HK into Europe have been canceled - unfortunately as expected. Looking forward to see if tomorrow's flights can make it in time for the weekend. Customs have cleared the shipment already...

[Shuurin]

Amiami's sold out of the normal version. They still have the LE in stock, though.

If the price difference wasn't so vast I'd jump on it. Tend to not buy limited editions unless the shwag it comes with justifies the 2000yen price difference.

[StarCreator]

Is NCS that much more expensive? They seem to be temporarily sold out of the regular edition, but they have more LEs ready to go, and domestic shipping is cheap.

[lmagus]

NCSX has both in stock now.

[dmauro]

My copy is out for delivery.

[drunkninja24]

Man, I was a bit nervous about using Media Mail shipping for Ketsui from NCSX, but according to my tracking, it should be in today! That's even faster than some of my "priority mail" shipments from the same area. Go figure.

[Schrodinger's cat]

NCSX + USPS = a winning combination.

Just got my SE in the mail.

[emphatic]

NCSX + USPS = a winning combination.

Just got my SE in the mail.

I envy you. Damn that Icelandic fag-volcano.

[dmauro]

PA + UPS = a winning combination.

Just got my SE in the mail.

I paid a little less with this combo (mostly because of NYS sales tax) and also just got mine.

[lgb]

You have to tell them to type it in as one word, or it won't show up.

<3

[monouchi]

I envy you. Damn that Icelandic fag-volcano.

NEWS FROM VGI


> 23rd Apr 2010


Volcano Has Burned Our Ketsui
The inevitable has finally caught up with us: Ketsui will arrive late. At the time of writing, we don't yet know how late it will be. Our guess is that it will arrive somewhere between Monday and Wednesday next week. Sorry guys!

[shmup-o]

just realized that my work blocked amiami.com and of course i haven't seen an email from them in weeks. Pretty sure they're killing the emails somewhere before it gets to me. crap. i haven't paid them yet...

[AraraSPAMWitch]

My bank account just went from nine dollars to three hundred, gonna put in my order for Ketsui next week. I can't wait to play this damn game!

[co-b]

VGI update:

All Ketsui Orders Shipping Monday; Cheaper Japanese Xbox 360 Systems Available
Finally, after about a 12 month delay and another week or delays due to the Icelandic volcano, Ketsui will be shipping on Monday.

Please don't call us to ask if it's in stock and shipping, otherwise we'll put your order to the back of the queue just for asking something which has already been answered here.... sounds like we're meanies but Monday is going to be a crazy day.

YIPEEEEEEEE!!!!

[MX7]

So if they posted them out yesterday, then we'll be seeing them today, which a pinch of luck

[dan76]

The sun is shining outside, but the curtains are drawn - Ketsui has arrived from VGI - Cheers Lee.

[MX7]

Fuck, mine didn't come Still holding out some vague hope, but I saw the postman dash past about 2 1/2 hours ago

[EPS21]
