The bundles or the game? :O
Only the game Eloise, I am not sure if he has an bundles incoming since it really is a very small shop and will depend entirely on if anyone pre-ordered it through them.
If this game store gets shut down then I am screwed Spamurai! The only game store we have is about 45 minutes away if traffic is good... then another 45 minutes back. I know for sure if I had to drive out to pick up my copy from our nearest city I would probably be pulled over on the way home for running red lights or dangerous driving >.< not sure if they would let me off if I pointed to the AC:NL tightly strapped under the seatbelts in my passenger seat!

Haha, okay. I hope they get the bundles shipped soon! Come on GAME you're killing meeeeeeeeeee!!!
If they did next day delivery then they probably wouldn't ship until Thursday like Amazon.

I am quite well known at my local GAME's and if that happened, I would just walk out and buy it online cheaper as I don't put down a ?5.00 deposit for the game to get messed around and not get it guaranteed on the day.
I am what people would call, persistent for getting things on the correct day.
For example, I will not open my birthday cards and/or presents UNTIL it is my actual birthday...
Shows what they think of the public! "Yes, they're stupid enough to pay for an over-priced video game..."
JasonBurrows - off topic, but I sort of cheered inside when I saw your avatar. I've been playing the original PS1 Spyro games over the past fortnight.

What?! -I tried to check this online but their website is terrible. / As in so terrible it has like 0 pages and no search options. Even google was stumped.
What does this have to do with you being well known at your local GAME store? ;p
OT: Have just heard from a close friend who also pre-ordered AC from GAME also had his order cancelled with no word/e-mail etc.
According to him, he had opted for paypal and isn't with Halifax... seems GAME screwed something up somewhere!

I know right? It is a truly amazing game, I have the trilogy on PS1 and PSN.JasonBurrows - off topic, but I sort of cheered inside when I saw your avatar. I've been playing the original PS1 Spyro games over the past fortnight.
What did you think of my post regarding me being well known at GAME and what I would honestly do if they messed me around whilst collecting Animal Crossing New Leaf or any game for that matter.
Wouldn't be the first time. -.- I remember a couple of years back when they took pre-orders for two major upcoming EA releases, then a few days before the release date they cancelled all of the orders and announced that they would not be able to sell any of the games that EA was releasing over the next month. :/
I'm only glad that I was able to catch this topic really, if it wasn't for these forums I would have just been unaware entirely that my pre-order had been cancelled and might not have noticed until it was too late or untill Friday evening rolled around and I still had no copy... feeling incredibly sorry for the children who are relying on their parents to order the game online, it's unlikely they would be able to spam refresh the shipping status page like some of us here tend to do... going to be quite a few angry customers no doubt.
And the people who pre-ordered the bundle having an order cancelled and a possibility of no stock to re-order... ouch!

The thing you have to remember about pre-orders is, you enter the contract aware that the game may have the date, price and availability changed... It's pure courtesy that they don't adjust prices if they inflate. There's also no rules or policies saying they can't take pre-orders if they can't allocate stock.
It will always be a gamble with any company. A lot of it comes down to luck.
HMV isn't an online store, thats why. However it is true, they do over-charge on most things...
That's how they can afford to offer discounts then it seems xD
