            @aragornelessar: Ah right. Didnt notice they were referring to the gold 'steelbook'.

            Both will get u something gold (digital case and/or physical case) ^^,

  • kekw on 12/11/2019 - 13:14

    order updated to this price. But estimated delivery is on the 20th - 25th… sad…

    • sleet on 12/11/2019 - 14:35

      Which delivery method did you choose? Just out of curiosity

      • kekw on 12/11/2019 - 14:47

        i chose the prime free delivery.

        • Forfiet on 13/11/2019 - 07:16

          when did you order?

  • cassiopeia on 12/11/2019 - 13:33

    Random question, but how does cashrewards/shopback work when there is a price change on a pre-order item?

    • Circly on 12/11/2019 - 16:15

      Wonder if it gets cancelled

    • merc on 14/11/2019 - 10:45

      You don't actually get charged until the item ships.
      So I'm guessing the cashback would be based off what you get charged

      • cassiopeia on 14/11/2019 - 15:37

        But your cashback would have been tracked based on your initial shopback transaction (so when you've pre-ordered) even though you haven't actually paid for it yet.

        The reason for my question is that I utilised an amazon shopback increase and I would hope that I still get the higher shopback % rather than the standard %.

        • wangasm on 14/11/2019 - 16:50
          +1

          It tracks the initial transaction (so you get whatever % rate at that time) but the final order amount is not confirmed by Amazon to CR/SB until it is paid for and shipped. Otherwise you could have just cancelled the pre-order and still got cashback.

  • Asterix1 on 12/11/2019 - 14:13

    Is it sad that I want Amazon to price match JB just to save an extra 10 cents?

    • jackthefrost on 12/11/2019 - 14:17

      no we don't judge. if you think it's worthwhile to you, go for it. the operator on the other end might roll their eyes but will oblige.

    • m0tyrider on 12/11/2019 - 14:22

      No - This is OzBARGAIN. Not OzPAYMORE

  • ozbargainer88 on 12/11/2019 - 14:20

    My order is still showing $62.10 and Amazon chat said they couldn't apply the discount to my current order. They wanted me to reorder it but I used a gift card originally and don't have the code anymore. Did anyone have any luck getting Amazon to apply the $5?

    • wangasm on 12/11/2019 - 15:56

      If you cancel, it should be refunded back into your gift card balance: https://www.amazon.com.au/balance
      You should be fine to cancel and reorder, you don't need the code anymore. (Note: store credit is different to gift card credit)

    • aleayr on 12/11/2019 - 16:18
      +1

      Just to confirm, my my order page it still says "$62.10" as well against the product itself, but the little grey bar above the order says "Total: $57.10". If I click the "View or edit order" button to the right, the Order Summary section has the product price, minus the $5 itemised out.

      Worth double checking before you cancel it :)

  • Circly on 12/11/2019 - 16:44

    Hmm kinda thinking of cancelling my pre-order. 14-18 hours is kinda ridiculous. Spoiler warning it's just a compilation of perceived shortcomings of the game.

    • Circly on 12/11/2019 - 20:23

      What?? The whole game is 14-18 hours???

      • Circly on 12/11/2019 - 20:28

        Ok I'm reading and i think I might cancel too.

      • Ononono on 12/11/2019 - 20:55

        I haven't played pokemon in many years but isn't that around the same time it took to beat previous games?

          +1

          I haven't played since the red blue days but I can't really remember. I cancelled as I was on the fence anyway, if it sounds like it's alright I'll pick it up down the track.

        • Circly on 12/11/2019 - 21:24
          +1

          Nah used to be 40-50 hours.

          The most recent ones (Sun/Moon) were maybe 30 hours.

          • mrend55 on 13/11/2019 - 01:25

            @Circly: Bit shorter then that for sun and moon pretty sure I finished at around 20 hours, pointless cut-scenes and explaining pointless futures added extra time. the ultra games were even worse somehow.

            • Circly on 13/11/2019 - 09:58
              +1

              @mrend55: Yeah you are right 30 would be pushing it for S/M.

              I suppose the writing was on the wall given how much content they stripped out of S/M going '3D'.

              Going to new hardware must have really stretched their underfunded and under resourced team. Not to mention that they aren't to good with the software side of things.

    • Johnny L on 12/11/2019 - 23:19

      Just the info I have been looking for. Thanks for posting! Not gonna order now

    • mrend55 on 13/11/2019 - 01:23
      +2

      I don't see how 14-18 hours is ridiculous, everyone seems to be okay buying shorter games for way more than the price of this one (last of us,mario odyssey) and honestly I would rather a shorter game (14 hours does not seem too short to me but whatever, plus this the estimated time length be from that one guy who rushed the game without doing any of the side stuff so that obviously adds time) than one that does not know when to end like dragon quest 11.

      a few of the latter points should be the main points of concern, especially point number 7. sounds like it is more handholdey game which ruined sun and moon for me, it's a pokemon game it's not that hard. Whats the point of all this handholding and a million of unskippable cut-scenes that focus on dreadful Pokemon stories.

      • kulprit on 13/11/2019 - 08:21

        I'm not sure how quickly you finished Mario Odyssey, but there was heaps of post game content

    • idonotknowwhy on 13/11/2019 - 07:34

      Pokemon Blue is less than 2 hours https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnredblue

      • Circly on 13/11/2019 - 10:00

        Haha for a speed run. Tell that to 10 year old me.

        Catching pokemon/legendaries, grinding, figuring out what to do all takes time.

        The newer games are much more linear and have less things to figure out yourself.

        • idonotknowwhy on 13/11/2019 - 10:51

          Yeah I'm just kidding. I put at least 60 hours into Blue to catch all the Pokemon.

    Price dropped by 10c down to $57.00 (from $57.10) for Prime. Nice.

    I cancelled my preorder and redid it with the Shopback bonuses ($2+$5).

    Hope I don't regret it but I noticed on the new order email it says:
    Arriving:
    Monday, November 18 -
    Tuesday, November 19

    (whereas the original email said Friday).

    :(

  • Orpheon on 14/11/2019 - 09:06

    Where do OzBargainers sit on the whole axing of the National Dex dilemma? Curious to see if it will actually change anyone's mind from buying it.

    • S3ISOR on 14/11/2019 - 10:19

      I’m not happy about Dexit but I’m more pissed about other issues, especially with graphics, story and gameplay. I just wanted something new and different (and challenging). My dream was to have Pokemon cross Zelda BOTW where you make your own adventure, explore a massive open world, have side quests, collectables, etc. That would have been absolutely perfect for me, and could’ve been a 200+ hour game. But instead we have the same 20 year old formula and basic story in HD. And it feels even more simple, easy and childlike than ever before.
      I still love Pokemon and I’m sure I will enjoy the 10-20 hours this game will offer, but I was hoping for so much more for the first Switch Pokemon game. But alas, it’s Gamefreak, I should’ve known…

    • jace88 on 14/11/2019 - 10:59
      +2

      Honestly doesn’t bother me. It doesn’t have to have a complete Dex for me to enjoy the game. Besides there’s so many Pokémon now that I don’t necessarily need every old one in there because otherwise I’m less inclined to explore and try new things.

  • AnophthalmiaCervidae on 14/11/2019 - 11:29

    Both my orders (Sword and Shield) went down to $57.10.
    Sword got the extra drop to $57 but Shield got stuck at $57.10.
    They are both now showing as pending transactions ($57 and $57.10) on the credit card.

  • rycyt on 14/11/2019 - 12:13

      Me too. Very weird as usually ships in the afternoon about now, but uses express and still arrives Friday.

      It could be reporting incorrectly as well, maybe with a default ship on Thursday afternoon answer?

      The auspost app is erroring for me so maybe it's not feeding back to Amazon either?

      We thought you'd like to know that we've shipped your item(s). Your order is on the way, and can no longer be changed. If you need to return an item or manage other orders, please visit Your Orders on Amazon.com.au.

      Arriving:
      Tuesday, November 19

    • kulprit on 14/11/2019 - 17:43

      If you go deeper into the order, it still says delivered tomorrow by 11pm even though the main part says Tuesday delivery.

      Also they are loading onto Australia Post and showing express delivery.

      • lukethefish on 14/11/2019 - 19:06

        Usually to reach me in Townsville they post out Thursday using Toll Priority. This time and two weeks ago they post out Thursday using Australia Post express which they know as no hope of getting here. I managed to persuade them to give me $40 promo credit since this is the second time in two weeks, and I'll pick up a copy from JB Hifi tomorrow and when the Amazon copy arrives return that to JB.

        Complete nonsense though…

  • Wafflel on 14/11/2019 - 17:44

    I've emailed them about it so we'll find out…

    • PepsImax600ml on 14/11/2019 - 18:14

      Mine says ; Arriving tomorrow by 11 PM

      Edit; On with live chat the guys says ;

      Juttu:Upon checking the details I see that due to huge demand, we couldn't ship the item on time and that is the reason why it was delayed.

      For it to be here tomorrow, one would assume it should be "out for delivery" by now.

      Edit; Got an e-mail about Fallen Order being shipped, now just waiting on Pokémon Shield. - received email about Shield.

      • lukethefish on 14/11/2019 - 19:08

        Complete nonsense. They used to ship to me in Townsville using Toll Priority which has no problem arriving the next day. This and also two weeks ago for Luigi's Mansion they chose Australia Post Express intstead which takes at least 2 days.

  • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2019 - 18:35

    Just got an update via email saying it’s shipped with an estimate of Tuesday the 19th of November. Original date was supposed to be tomorrow but oh well.

  • iRMonkey on 14/11/2019 - 18:41

    I'm on live chat with a rep now.

    The pre-order pages specifically say:
    "Want it delivered the day it's released? Choose FREE Expedited Delivery at checkout."

    And in my order confirmation it says:
    "Arriving: Friday, November 15. Your delivery option: Expedited Delivery "

    But the Amazon rep is trying to tell me this, which I disagree with:

    "I've just reviewed your order details and see that your order is estimated for the delivery on: Tuesday, 19 November 2019. As you have selected the standard shipping speed, the original speed would be 3-5 bussiness days.
    Please don't worry, you will receive your item on or within the estimated delivery date"

    After giving the above info, they've responded with:

    "I'v checked with my resources and see that there are huge volume of orders on this item so we got an update from the carrier department that there might be slight delay in the delivery for these orders.
    However, please don't worry, our 1st priority is to deliver the item on the release date.
    I'll take the all required actions from my end to deliver your item as early as possible. "

    • lukethefish on 14/11/2019 - 19:09

      I would get back on them and demand compensation.

        I'm not going to get up the rep too much in live chat, not their fault. I just thanked them for their time and emailed through to their support for a full explanation as to the why, gives them a bit more time to look and find out.

        Doesn't bode well for my Cyberpunk 2077 preorder with them though.

        • sleet on 14/11/2019 - 19:14

      I feel like if you preordered it early, they like… forget about it.

    Well. My order isn't arriving until (at least) Monday. Rang auspost and of course they couldn't care less.

    How do I get on live chat with Amazon? The app only gives me the option to call or email.

      Use a computer and go to their contact us page. Fill in the appropriate details (e.g., where's my stuff? -> delivery date was changed", and you'll get an option at the bottom to have a live chat). Make sure you quote that when you ordered the game, it was advertised to be delivered on game release, and you would probably get $10-20 amazon credit from it.

    Just got mine, Sydney metro. Got notification from Amazon saying it was shipped last night at 6:21.

    Ordered when this was posted. They ended up sending me 2 copies and they told me to keep the extra copy :-/

    I don't know how the rest of you manage to get compensation - Amazon have refused to give me anything for the inconvenience! and that's with Prime paid annually upfront.

    Talking to Amazon now - apparently orders to WA delayed due to bushfires

      odd… excuse my ignorance but i would've thought the bush fires would be delaying the post aus wide? some users have commented they've received in Bris, NSW and SA

        I'm just going by what the Amazon rep said. I ended up cancelling (since it hasn't been delivered yet) and getting for $5 more from JB.

      They told me it was low stock.
