MikeMonger Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Cancel the CE order and just order the digital version. No you won't get all the extras, but honestly, after the first week, would you have messed with them anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmptrnick Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thank you! All any of us did was go to the main site, see the preorder list and go down it until someone still had the CE in stock! I didn't up and decide to support an 'evil corporation' because I felt like it. It was because - for whatever reason - BioWare/EA decided to give WalMart more preorders than other places and/or no one wanted to order from WalMart in the first place and thus everything else was taken. Sorry I don't just have 150 bucks in disposable income to throw down the moment preorder was announced? yeah lol. Origin -- sold out Amazon -- sold out Walmart -- ding ding ding. we have a winner. Ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMonger Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 um, yeah, I would. Like what? The authenticator is what...$4 seperately? The statue you would stick on a shelf somewhere and forget about. Other than those two, I the DDE has almost everything the CE does, with the exception of one pet.

Step 2) leave this thread alone, you're trolling and not helping the topic at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me...I'd rather play sooner than wait around for something I'll just throw in a closet anyway...or could pick up on Ebay after the fact if I REALLY wanted it. But that's just me.

BillATL Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I am just speculating here, but... People buy more copies of the CE from Walmart than were available from BW to Walmart (most likely an issue with Walmart's online ordering). BW ships the original number to Walmart's main facility for distribution on the 9th. Walmart still requires more. BW has more copies of the CE shipped to Walmart on the 14th. Maybe they had to make more, maybe they have a giant vault where Scrooge McDuck swims through a pool of CE's... Originally promised EGA still doesn't start till tomorrow.

Also, the in game CE store is still exclusive, your DDE wont cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMonger Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Walmart won't let us cancel. How are you paying? If it's PayPal it's easy to block the payment. Then just get a return sticker from them if and when the item ever actually shows up. I've had to do that with crappy retailers before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BW has stepped up and pushed Amazon to ship earlier, the folks overseas have their products released tomorrow. Origin offers the codes on the 16th to us orders. Bioware should step up and do the same for Walmart customers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they can work with Amazon, the largest online distribution company, and get them to change dates, they can surely do the same for Walmart.

BW has stepped up and pushed Amazon to ship earlier, the folks overseas have their products released tomorrow. Origin offers the codes on the 16th to us orders. Bioware should step up and do the same for Walmart customers as well. Ok, speaking as someone who works for a company that supplies stuff to WalMart, I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty. NOBODY pushes WalMart to do anything it doesn't want to do. Because WalMart has the power. If you get uppity with WalMart and it decides not to carry your stuff, that's hundreds of millions in lost revenue, and WalMart will just go to someone else for their stuff.

I am 100% certain Bioware IS in talks with the company - but, as the largest Retailer.. Walmart doesn't like to be pushed. At all. They like to be the one doing the pushing. They tend to not only ignore companies that push back, they also mess with them. Sound familiar? Edited December 14, 2011 by Maxlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruei Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Look, we're not whining about Early Access. In fact, no one in this thread is really whining about anything. We're frustrated and tired of dealing with something that should never have been our problem. It's not a matter of we shouldn't have done x, y, or z. We were told that a) there would be a grace period b) you could pre order the CE online and c) BioWare recommends these companies. How in any logical form does that make WalMart messing things up and thinking they're required to hold something when they're not, a glitch in their system, and BioWare taking no stance to help the situation our fault?
