VSTM Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Originally posted by Aerothorn What's worse, I just saw that on EB games you get a $10 mail-in voucher...so not only are us using Gamestop not getting our game, we're paying $10 more to not get our game!

Wsmonkeyboy Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Doesn't Ebgames already have Psychonauts PC version in stock? I don't see any ETA date on the site. Has anyone got the Pc version from ebgames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSTM Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I preordered it, and apparently(but I don't remember) requested to have it sent to my house. I still haven't received it. The last time I was at ebgames was the day after the they got the xbox version. They also never gave me any update on when I would get it. I did call though, and the support guy said it would probably be later this week. I hope I get it tomorrow, but the tracking information, from usps, that I posted above doesn't make me feel too hopeful. I would much rather have to game already than a mail-in voucher. I'm going to call tomorrow to see if the store has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libertine Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Well, EB Games have shipped my game now! To Sweden! Wohoooo! It's still in Kentucky though, so I don't know when it will arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSTM Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Went shopping tonight. Guess who has Psychonauts? WAL-MART. Guess who doesn't? ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsmonkeyboy Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Well, unfortunately, my prediction was correct. I check out gamestop this morning and guess what! The pre-release date is now 4/29!!! So....... I guess my weekend plans of playing psychonauts will not happen. I'll continue to impatiently wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSTM Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 USPS tracking: "Your item was processed and left our CINCINNATI, OH facility on April 28, 2005. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later. " Look like I might get it NEXT WEEK. Maybe I'll get it Saturday. Considering that I could have bought it at F*ING WAL-MART sooner than preordering it, I'm officially mad as hell about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagamorph321 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I got the same exact message from the usps. Leaving Cincinatti April 28th even though the package supposedly shipped on the 25th. Bah. The things we do for a voucher and a pack of cards. Time to run through the demo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerothorn Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hey, vouchers are cool. Espescially since my Gamestop membership covers the cost of shipping on full-priced games. I sent an e-mail to Gamestop, saying: "On March 21st, 2005, I pre-ordered Psychonauts for the PC- supposed to release on April 19th. And apparently, it did release on April 19th...in stores. But for some reason on Gamestop.com, it was pushed back to April 25th. Ok. But then April 25th arrives, and it is pushed back to April 26th. Then April 27th. Now April 28th. The game has been out for over a week now. I can go into stores and buy it, I can order it from other online retailers...why is it continually being 'pushed back' on Gamestop?" To their credit, the reply was quick; I just got home from school and in my inbox is a response, saying: Dear Customer, We are sorry for any inconvenience but we here online and our store locations dont have this shipment yet so we are not able to ship out our orders.. We have gotten told by the manufactor that our shipment should arrive to us today. So therefore we will be able to ship out your order today ..Thanks and have a nice day. We value your business and hope to see you again soon at GameStop.com. Best regards, Donna GameStop.com So if their info is correct, it should ship soon.

VSTM Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 My best guess is that Majesco's calculations on exactly how many people would buy the pc version was grossly inadequate, so it's taken longer for them to produce enough to send to all the stores. I guess Wal-Mart just had a higher priority in the list than EB Games or Gamestop. Or maybe some EB Games and Gamestops have them and some don't. I just called the EB games here in town and they don't have the pc version yet either. The guy on the phone said he doesn't know why they don't have it. He seemed kind of confused about it. Maybe this is a good sign...maybe it means that Psychonauts is selling better than anyone expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Shipping. At last. Not Import Madness though. Grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_cobb Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I received my copy (PC version) from ebgames today. So it looks like the pre-orders are finally starting to trickle out. Now if only I could get it to run on my Voodoo 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libertine Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 My package has arrived in Europe (GB) now so I am eagerly anticipating! Do UPS keep working through the weekend or will my package stay there until Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerialFreak Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Psychonauts arrived here in Brisbane, Australia yesterday afternoon. Five CDs of Psychonauts goodness, Psychonauts playing cards, Colour instruction manual, and one of the best games in a while. I haven't played much of it yet, but it's pretty damn awesome.

Thrik Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Good God almighty, it's finally shipped. Anybody have any idea (from past experience) how long it'll take to ship it to the UK via GameStop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerialFreak Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'm not sure about the UK, but it took 4 days to ship to Australia with EBgames... I'm not sure the difference in distance, though... If anything it will probably arrive in the UK quicker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsmonkeyboy Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yep finally shipped. Expected to arrive around sunday, at noon. can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSTM Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'm in mid America(Arkansas) and my Psychonauts and my tracking reads thus: "Your item was processed and left our CINCINNATI, OH facility on April 28, 2005. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later. " Doesn't make much since that it would arrive in Australia before it arrives here, but I did choose the cheapest shipping. Does USPS ship on Sundays?

SerialFreak Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well I ordered from EBgames and it shipped with UPS. EBgames got it before GameStop I think. For you guys who are still waiting: It's worth waiting for... One of the best games I've played in a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nappi Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I wonder when will the DVDboxoffice get the game. I tried emailing them but only got a reply with no real content at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Woohoo, Gamestop finally shipped . It should arrive within 3-5 days too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrushthedwar Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Originally posted by Nappi I wonder when will the DVDboxoffice get the game. I tried emailing them but only got a reply with no real content at all. I mailed them during the week and here is their answer... "We do apologize, unfortunately the title is not in stock at the moment. We do receive stock in everyday and are working extremely hard to fill your order. You will be emailed by our system as soon as your order ships. We can't estimate when the title you are looking for will be in stock, but if it is listed on our site, we will do our best to get it in for you as soon as possible. " ... woohoo, they should have told me they manage their business on the fly. Anyway,I received a "back-order" mail [i don't know what that means] yesterday with the note "Unless notified, non pre order items will be shipped as soon as stock arrives. Note: We receive stock everyday and fulfill back orders on a first come first served basis. We thank you for your patience and patronage." And they don't even bother changing the disponibility date of the game on their site. Pfff, I smell trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yeah, GameStop have finally shipped mine too. Now I can sit staring at the USPS tracking page instead of the GameStop tracking page. Currently, it's sat in Philadelphia. :~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
