lagamorph321 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Hey all, If you've got the time, preorder the sam n max game from EBGAMES - they still are clueless about the cancellation as are most people. sigh.
lagamorph321 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 Oh yeah and this is their preorder policy: Pre-orders Your credit card will be charged only when your order is processed. Sometimes, we will process your order one to five days before the release of the product. This allows us to get the product to you faster. Orders containing combinations of pre-order items and in stock merchandise will be broken into separate orders. Each of the separate orders will ship as soon as the merchandise becomes available. Shipping charges will apply to each of the orders independently. From time to time the manufacturers will limit the amount of a product based on their supply. If this happens, we will process the online orders in the order in which they were received. In an effort to ship pre-orders as quickly as possible, sometimes we use a third party distributor to drop ship the merchandise directly to you. This allows us to eliminate the time it takes to ship product to our warehouse and receive it before shipping it out to you. Due to the tight time constraints required by this accelerated shipping method, some orders will not make it into our drop ship process. Those orders are shipped directly from our warehouse usually no more than one day after the drop shipment. Some of the order types that will typically miss our drop ship process are: - Pre-orders received by us too close to the release date. Cut-off dates are normally three or four days in advance of the ship date. - International orders. - P.O. Box and APO/FPO. - Pre-orders that fail our credit authorization process. From time to time, EBgames.com will offer a special promotional item with a pre-order. Due to limited availability, these promotions can only be offered while supplies last. Still Have a Question? If you didn't find what you needed here, feel free to call our Customer Service center at 1-877-432-9675 to speak with a Customer Service Representative. If you prefer, contact us by e-mail. Hours of operation: Open 7 days a week, 8:00 am to midnight EST.
Skinkie Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 ...Why would we order it if it's been cancelled? Maybe I'm missing something.
SyntheticGerbil Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 DOn't do that. I think all of their rotten money comes from preorders anyways. Then their nasty managers get their disgusting promotion and buy LAN parties or something.
BlueRockman Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Unless they know something we don't, there's absolutely no point in pre-ordering a cancelled game. For the time being, the fight must continue on, until we see from LucasArts themselves that the game is going to hit the store shelves. Only then will I renew my now-cancelled pre-order on Sam and Max: Freelance Police. Hmmmmm.... we should send someone to spy on EBGames....
lagamorph321 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 Hey all, I see supposedly 10000 plus sigs on the pettitions to save Sam and Max Freelance police. Wouldn't a few thousand preorders at EBGAMES be a little more convincing? I could 'sign' the pettitions 10000 times myself, but who's gonna preorder Freelance police more than 1 or 2 times at EBGAMES? Maybe lucasarts will get a call from EBGAMES, maybe not. I know it's a long shot, but what other great ideas do people have to get lucasarts's attention? Oh well, sigh. I guess I'll write some more letters to pr@lucasarts.com. Keep the interest up.
The LeChuckie Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Try and get as many websites as possible to push the name of LucasArts in the mud. Persuade them to mention how far up their ass they are.
Sam&Max4ever Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I can see where you are going, maybe if we all pre-order the game, EB games will discover how many money they will loose and then start a silent protest, maybe even contact LA..Its worth a shot
psbales Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Just ordered mine. Remember folks, if there's one (and most likely only) thing that LucasArts understands nowadays, its money. If they see that there's thousands of pre-orders, they *will* understand that "current market place realities and underlying economic considerations" just might be favorable to a highly anticipated graphic adventure game after all. In short: Go pre-order now!!!! PS - To put it another way, an agreement by Paul Balestrieri to give money to EBGames is a heck of a lot better and more convincing than 100 "h4X0r 4 L1f3"'s signing an online petition.
Brushguy Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 This is a long shot...but it might work! GO PRE-ORDER SAM AND MAX: FREELANCE POLICE! CONVINCE LUCASARTS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL BUY IT! I remember one magazine had "Super Mario 64 2" or pre-order FOREVER, way back in 1997 even, and it had a fake cut and pasted screenshot of Mario and Luigi on the last level on SM64 to fool you. It also had the Conker game on pre-order, before they turned it into something else...
lagamorph321 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks for the few positive responses. If we get enough responses, maybe a gaming site will write up a story. They definitely have more weight that a rabid fan like me. 100 + looks - made you look! hee hee. feel free to email me with any Sam N Max 2 stuff - lagamorph321@yahoo.com
SyntheticGerbil Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 You guys is stoopid. This is not going to directly affect LucasARts. This is only helping EBGames and Gamestop or whatever. They make a killing off of preorders and holding your money. I'm sure the longer they can hold it without telling you anything is the longer they can do devious, sexual things with your dirty cash.
psbales Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 SyntheticGerbil, I don't normally feed the troll, but I'll make an excption just this one time, since what you said is blatantly false and I don't want any confusion. From http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/help/products/preOrders.asp : Pre-orders Your credit card will be charged only when your order is processed. If Sam and Max doesn't ship, you never pay. EBGames does not hold any of your money. Period.
lagamorph321 Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 Steve really is tops! Another preorder sighting! Yaaa. Email pr@lucasarts.com and give them a piece of your mind, again.
Darkhelm Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Ok, pre-order placed. I now have 5 percent more hope this is going to be released, that's the major reason I pre-ordered: I don't want to give up hope that LEC will come back to their senses!
lagamorph321 Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 That makes one more. thanks! keep the preorders going. Sam and Max fans, quietly order one for yourself and one for your brother or sister or coworker.
SyntheticGerbil Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Well okay, maybe I'm wrong. It's funny they would need your credit card for a preorder if they aren't charging you. AND BESIDES, WHAT I'M STILL TRYING TO SAY, IS THAT THIS IS INDEED A VERY DAFT IDEA.
jokemaster Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Quote Originally posted by SyntheticGerbil Well okay, maybe I'm wrong. It's funny they would need your credit card for a preorder if they aren't charging you. 1st: It's convinience. How would they tell you they need your credit card number when the game is out? If you don't check your e-mails regularly, you might not get the notice, and many other things. 2nd: Check your credit card statement. If they charged something, calll EBGames up, and complain. *preorders*
lagamorph321 Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 If you're in the UK, amazon UK also has preordering available. -ck
Sam&Max4ever Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 I also pre-ordered And NO they do NOT take your money unless the game is realeased. Nice to see all those pre-orders..Keep it up, we shall never surrender
lagamorph321 Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 Keep up the preordering and spreading the word - some of the people watching the thread must have preordered as well ;-) Vote with your $$$$, preorder a copy and keep on flooding pr@lucasarts.com with your emails.
zongman Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Hello, as I'm in France, I've just pre-ordered from Amazon UK. Though, it seems the game was planned a little later in europe: July 2004. Best regards, Zong.
lagamorph321 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 Thanks Zong. This is just one of the ways to support the return of Sam and Max Freelance Police. Make sure to keep writing pr@lucasarts.com and take a look at the savesamandmax.com website. Interest is growing!
lagamorph321 Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 Jeez - 6th in germany, huh? Keep it up guys and gals. I think we can get Sam and Max back. To all you guys in the UK, get to work - 96th? :-p But seriously, this will make a difference. Thanks and spread the word - write pr@lucasarts.com, otherwise they might actually start responding to all my emails. hee hee. Oh yeah, check out savesamandmax.com - maybe you can coordinate with info@savesamandmax.com to put some news in german.
