Help! MGS3 Serious question!

Post by Vicious »

I just got off the phone with a worker at EB games in Canada.

They just told me that Canadians don't get the third special movie disc!

Please jesus tell me this jackass was just misinformed. I preordered the game 2 months ago with 68 dollars down on it so that I could get the most expensive version that game out. That is supposed to be the LE version, and from what I am being told Canadian don't get that?!?!

Someone please, tell me if this is true or not so that I can pay someone (ANYONE) to pick up the game in the US so that I can buy it off them!

We Mexicans have the same problem. But you should have less trouble than we did buying off from ebgames online.. of course preorders are now closed, so ebay would be the only way...

I am e-mailing every damn e-mail on this list.

They can NOT do this, it is not fair.

I have to review the LE version with all of it's discs for work and if I don't have the copys I can get fired!

#edit#

Here is what I sent to EBGames

"I pre-ordered Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence (Limited Edition) January 31st for $68.99. I was promised not only the first two discs but also the third movie disc and bonus DVD. Although no one has contacted me at all about there being a change, I was told from a news website that Canadian and Mexican gamers will not being getting the LE version of the game nor the Bonus DVD.

This is unacceptable and also false advertising if this is true.

I would like to know if EB Game is indeed only selling the two disc version of the game. If this turns out to be true I would like to know immediately. I work for a game publication and in good faith pre-ordered the LE version to review. If I do not get an LE version of the game I can lose my standing at work or even lose my Job for failing to write up my review.

I have had nothing but great experiences with EB Games in the past, and I would very much like to continue to be a customer at your stores. But if this happens, I will begin to shop (along with the rest of my fellow Game Journalists that are in the area) at other stores.

The EB Games store I pre-ordered the game at is below.

EB Games – 1608
Cambridge Centre
355 Hespler Rd. Unit # 305
Cambridge, ON N1R6B3
(519) 740-4393

Please, a quick response is very necessary.

Thank You.

Sincerely, Shane Luis"

Looks like that is what's happening in Canada. Sorry to hear that.

got a e-mail back...
Dear Shane Luis,

Thank you for contacting Konami Support. We regret to inform you that you need to contact your local EB Games, for it is their responsibility to contact their distributor on this matter.

Got another E-Mail after asking how I could get a LE copy...
Dear Shane Luis,

We regret to inform you that we do not sell merchandise directly to the public.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence LE will be released at EB in Canada. There will be a limited quantity, so I would suggest calling everywhere.

So apparently they are having it out in Canada?

So what about Mexico now?
