    What did they say when you called them?

  • jimbobaus on 31/03/2020 - 11:51

    Most likely will arrive in Aus Early, but Square will "request" this be held until release date.
    some smaller retailers might break street date, but EB, JB etc most likely will not or might go a day early given release day is a holiday

    The Twitter post says "may get it early"
    and Sqaure Enix is known for being pretty strict with release dates etc

    Just in case better make sure there is enough money on my card for JB to charge me for my 1st Class Edition pre order :)

    • jazzilla on 31/03/2020 - 12:05

      How much was it for 1st Class Edition?

    • Taro Milk Tea on 31/03/2020 - 14:25

      how do you order the 1st edition through JB?

      • jimbobaus on 31/03/2020 - 14:37

        Went on pre order when they announced the game, sold out in minutes
        word is they only had 20 that they could sell.

    • shmoney on 31/03/2020 - 14:38

      It seems likely that EB will break street date since they did it with Persona 5 Royal.

      • jimbobaus on 31/03/2020 - 14:39

        The developers allowed them too break the street date in Aus.
        Square enix are not known for allowing games to go live early

        they have accepted in their twitter post that it may happen, but they do not want it too

        • shmoney on 31/03/2020 - 14:44

          The developers allowed them too break the street date in Aus.

          do you have a source for that? just interested in reading on what happened but haven't been able to find anything

          • jimbobaus on 31/03/2020 - 14:45

            @shmoney: Press Start
            IGN
            Gizmodo
            EB Games
            And so on and so on
            it was WIDELY reported that Persona 5 was released early at Dev's request

        • Taro Milk Tea on 31/03/2020 - 14:57

          Square enix are not known for allowing games to go live early

          If they still want to maximise the selling for this game, it's better to release this earlier. I really don't understand the hesitancy here…it's for everyone's benefit!

          • jimbobaus on 31/03/2020 - 15:14

            @Taro Milk Tea: As they said in their post, they really want to avoid people runinng it for other people

            • coxjon on 31/03/2020 - 16:46

              @jimbobaus: How could you ruin a remake?!

              • The Value on 31/03/2020 - 17:31

                @coxjon: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"
                "No."
                "I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend.

                Not everyone knows.

    Some of us apparently already received the copy of the game!

    IT'S ON SALE TODAY!!!

  • CheapyD on 01/04/2020 - 11:14

    Any know when amazon will ship? I cant get through to customer service, might just cancel the preorder and pickup from JB for $10 more.

    • ThePriceMatchGuy on 01/04/2020 - 11:25

      Apparently will ship today, so arrive by end of this week, early next. Supposedly Big W are $69.

      • Antares on 01/04/2020 - 12:25

        I just asked Amazon chat and was told they are not shipping until the 7th… How did you hear they're shipping today?

        • ThePriceMatchGuy on 01/04/2020 - 12:27

          My bad dude, I thought they'd follow other major retailers. They're all shipping today if not already. Guess you'll have to wait for that superb Amazon service lol.

          • Antares on 01/04/2020 - 12:28

            @ThePriceMatchGuy: All good, I was just hoping you had other news… I don't know if I'm willing to wait another week for Amazon to deliver so slowly.

        • mangobango on 01/04/2020 - 13:26

          My tracking said it will arrive on the 7th, but Amazon chat kept saying it will be delivered on the 10th.

          Kinda confusing, but fingers crossed it comes out a little earlier.

            @mangobango: Mine marked as shipped yesterday. I'd wait the extra few days to save some $$$.

              @[Deactivated]: Yeah I checked my account just before and noticed they've taken money out now, and the tracking says it will arrive on Monday (though it hasn't been shipped yet). So happy times all around!

                @mangobango: Would've been good for this weekend - but hey can't have it all. Enjoy it!

                • mangobango on 03/04/2020 - 11:03

                  @[Deactivated]: I agree, would've been good but oh well, when you look at the savings it makes it better :)

                  Hope you enjoy the game too!

  • Robbob on 01/04/2020 - 11:29

      I got mine for $69 through BIG W, i ordered this morning. posted as a deal before, few seconds after that they changed the price to $79. Guess I got lucky

      • Robbob on 01/04/2020 - 12:52

        Got it instore from bigw $69 just now

        • Taro Milk Tea on 01/04/2020 - 12:55

          eh? so they haven't changed the price in store? that's so dodgy

        • ThePriceMatchGuy on 01/04/2020 - 13:51

          do you mind posting a pic of your receipt? Wanting to price match also.

  • DingoBilly on 01/04/2020 - 15:59

    I picked up from Jb hi Fi. Asked them to price match Amazon and they did without issue. Melbourne CBD.

  • Puglife on 01/04/2020 - 18:25

    Amazon changed the price on my drive down to J.B. No price match anymore:(

  • TKGX on 01/04/2020 - 19:55

    canceled my amazon au order. gonna pick up tomorrow first thing in the morning. all closed now.

    • Taro Milk Tea on 01/04/2020 - 21:59

      Just spent my last 4 hours for this game. Amazing game!

  • hamwhisperer on 02/04/2020 - 08:46
