          • Miss B on 20/10/2022 - 18:30

            @nismo: The other thing with pre-orders is you don't have to pay until it's sent with Amazon and if the price drops again, however unlikely, you get the lowest price.

        Which Box legendary do you want.

        Consider Pokemon that only come in one version

        Which professor do you want to start you on your journey, The GIGACHAD professor or Wild Cave Babe professor.

        Do you like wearing orange or purple?

        I'm sure there are other very small differences, but these are the big things i'd personally look for in making a decision.

        Not sure the correct way but I'm in the queue to talk to their chat.

              I have contacted the relevant department requesting a cancellation and refund of the order.

              Provided the request is accepted, please allow 2-5 business days for the funds to be deposited back via your original payment method. You'll also receive a credit memo in your email detailing the refund within 24-48 hours of the refund being actioned.

    Do Amazon still send game preorders out a few days early to ensure they arrive on release day?

    • Teh White Mamba on 20/10/2022 - 14:21

      In my experience they ship on launch day then I get it the next day being in regional Vic, you may get it launch day if in a capital city.

    • skrot on 20/10/2022 - 14:21
      +4

      In my recent experience, no, and often sent days late. Maybe depends on their actual stock levels and when you preordered or something, though.

        • tedprior on 20/10/2022 - 15:08
          +1

          The last time I preordered from Amazon (with Prime and a promise of same day delivery) the day before it was due to arrive they sent me a message saying my estimated delivery date had changed and it was TWO WEEKS later.

          • meetyourmaker on 20/10/2022 - 17:39

            @tedprior: Amazon is the absolute worst with pre-orders, especially if you live in any metro areas where they use CouriersPlease as their de-facto delivery provider. Not sure if they're actively aiming to overtake Aramex/Fastway as the worst courier service in Australia, or just outright incompetence.

            The sub-contracted peanuts will lie out of their teeth using the excuse of "Business closed / after hours" as a reason to delaying your parcel delivery for a standard residential address.

    • Hybroid on 20/10/2022 - 14:30

      Usually launch day in Sydney CBD, Dragonfly shipping are very very good here. But your mileage may vary.

    • DrPopkorne on 20/10/2022 - 14:31

      I usually get it the day before release.

    • Meredori on 20/10/2022 - 15:58
      +1

      Last time I preordered (GT7) They sent it out days later. I also placed an additional order on release date and that one arrived next day while my preorder didn't arrive until 3 days later.

      DO NOT preorder on Amazon with any expectation of getting it on release date.

      • meetyourmaker on 20/10/2022 - 17:43

        Yeh exact same experience when I ordered a copy of GT5 on PS5, Amazon delayed the shipping until 3 days after release. Then to top it off, CouriersPlease added to it by delaying it another week and a half after spending hours on the phone trying to get through to their CSR team that claim they'll try to follow up with the subcontracted deliveryman but never to hear back from them again.

    • dbmitch on 20/10/2022 - 18:21

      Adelaide here, every Friday game release 2021 I had has amazon just sending it out ON THE DAY, for estimated arrival…Monday!

      This time thou, it sees to explicitly state: FREE Release Day delivery Friday, November 18

      So it better mean what it says it does this time

    • ramboando on 20/10/2022 - 20:58

      Their deliveries were pretty bad due to/during COVID but pre-pandemic it was okay. Hopefully you'll get it on or soon after release these days.

      Unfortunately they don't out all the pokemon in the games anymore. So the line is now "gotta catch some of 'em".

          You can catch em all in Legend Arceus.

          All here references all in that edition.

          There are over 900 pokemon by now - so not one game will have them all available.

            • tajid on 21/10/2022 - 11:58

              @Circly: To clarify what i said, unlike all the previous editions, with Arceus - you can complete your Pokedex without needing to trade etc. Though you cannot get other Pokemon outside its 'regional' dex.

              With all the other previous ones, you have to trade between versions to even complete the original regional dex.

    • PainToad on 20/10/2022 - 16:17

      If you’ve never played a Pokémon game before, start with Gold/Silver (or Heart/Soul). Not this modern crap.

    • nfusion on 21/10/2022 - 04:47

      OK, sounds like best for me to try it the cheap way and play it on Gameboy first. I remember selling those when I worked at EB Games, shoulda started catching them back when,.

    I had the pre order at 68 on Amazon thinking this would happen. However it didn't update my existing order to show 48? Shouldn't that happen automatically under amazon price reduction policy?

    Edit: oh, time delay

        This is what I did as it was still showing $68. I know it's meant to update, but wanted to be sure.

        • ramboando on 20/10/2022 - 21:01

          Worst case you could contact customer service and they'd refund you.

      • justtoreply on 20/10/2022 - 14:44

        Yeah, I did

      • ramboando on 20/10/2022 - 21:01

        Could be riskier if they run out of stock in the meantime. I've never not had a POPG (pre-order price guarantee) that I'm aware of activate, and many times it has when I was not aware of it.

    • HomeAlone on 27/10/2022 - 14:40

      "The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24-72 hours of the price change if your product has not yet shipped"

      Did yours ever update to reflect the lower price?

      It's been a week now and still showing $68 for me.

    Ordered both, had the 2 pack ordered. If they adjust scarlet to $48 it will updated and even if they don't it'll be cheaper than the 2 pack

      Wdym

      • McFodder on 20/10/2022 - 15:21

        Buying the two individually (even before Scarlet was pricematched) still worked out cheaper than buying them bundled together

        • capslock janitor on 20/10/2022 - 15:23

          Oh ic

        • KRiSX on 20/10/2022 - 17:58

          the 2 pack is $128 on Amazon, individual would be $136 prior to the $48 price (2 x 68), but is now only $116

        • tm32 on 20/10/2022 - 20:53

          showing as $128. Did it change?

          Have this still in pre-order so may as well cancel as the case will end up in a drawer anyway.

    • Vitorll on 20/10/2022 - 16:26

      • KRiSX on 20/10/2022 - 17:59

        steelcases (if you care about that sort of thing)… $12 for steelcases might be worth it…

        • aragornelessar on 20/10/2022 - 21:10
          +1

          Now it's technically $32 for the steelcase though, since both dropped in price to $48 each. It's got me undecided. I like steelcases but knowing it's practically $32 instead of whatever RRP I was locked into originally…

    May as well place the order. Pokémon for this low is hard to argue with.

    At the very least, it’ll make a decent birthday or Christmas gift.

    • relteran on 21/10/2022 - 09:05

      Yeah, I wasn't happy with the trailers but it still looks better than Sword and Shield, and half price isn't bad for the (lack of) quality shown so far. I just hope the world isn't as sparse as it looks in the trailers.

      • Circly on 21/10/2022 - 11:51

    Thanks heaps - Ordered Violet and will wait to see Scarlet drop and order.
    Then boy can figure out which one he wants and cancel other one.

    P.S. Stuff Gerry and JB for cancelling orders and not price matching!

    Generally - how good is Amazon - I bought Prime membership and whenever you want anything - large or small - it is here the next day with no delivery changes - I once ordered a $2 thing one night at 11pm and was at door by 8am next morning.

    Note: Amazon doesn't take money until it has been sent out, so you can still cancel anytime between order to when they ship out.
