Amazon Fail

[SuperSouter]

I sent an email to amazon this morning where ther hell my copy of DMC is and I got this back:

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience, but "Devil May Cry 4 Ltd Edition (X360)" appears to have been a surprise sellout.

Sometimes unexpected fluctuations in supply can add time to our original availability estimate. We have learned that "Devil May Cry 4 Ltd Edition (X360)" is now back-ordered and we now hope that your order will be delivered by April 11, 2008.

Please note that the availability and dispatch times listed on our website are estimates only, and not guarantees. While we do our best to adhere to these estimates, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers, and occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply can add time to your order.

When you placed your order # 203-1787331-3077941, we believed we had access to more copies - we then discovered that every one of our suppliers had rapidly sold out.

Major suppliers have thousands of copies on order from the developer, all apparently awaiting the next distribution run. As soon as more copies become available, we'll be able to dispatch them to our
customers. "

Bullshit!
Sorry but I have been waiting for my game only to find that the game I pre-ordered months ago is now delayed to april?

Amazon have failed.

Before I get a copy somewhere else what do you actually get in the tin edition?

@ SuperSouter in the UK (and I believe the rest of Europe) you get the metal case, and an art book which contains around 20 pages of concept art from Devil May Cry 4.

:( This has really annoyed me.

I will just order the standard edition and get it with the quickest post I can.

Play.com and Gameplay.com have Devil May Cry 4 for £29.99 (standard edition) with free delivery.

I just got a copy from Ebay, next day delivery. I just want to play it now so should have it tomorrow (if lucky) or Saturday.

Do what I did - waited for HMV to open and got the tin case w/ art book for £30 and got a free LIMITED EDITION faceplate (only available from HMV) and apparently there were only 2,500 or something.

I went to Zavvi aka Virgin and took the normal edition to till. The guy told me to go back and get the limited edition cause it was the same price. Lucky huh? :P

Unlucky, I got mine free with my new xbox.

I just went to GameStop friday and they had a Limited Edition so I bought it lol. I don't know about the UK version but the US Ltd. has a bonus DVD with Making Of the game, the dvd also gives exclusive wallpapers and a screensaver for you pc. Tin case (limited edition standard?). Finally, DMC anime, first four episodes.

That's nothing, I ordered from PLAY, they dispatched it, but gave me no email confirming this, and it still has not arrived and its bordering 2 weeks now?

Terrible, safe to say I ditched it, and went to Tesco's and got my Ltd there. Still I have to wait till the 27th before PLAY refund anything >.<

Geez, that blows. I trust gamestop.com I ordered Halo 3 off there and it showed up on time.

Ive had the same problem but not with DMC4. I bought dvds (24 boxset I think) didnt get it, phoned them, they send another out but it didnt come either. Turns out that ROYAL MAIL ! yes my postman had been stealing my stuff cos he knew what it was. Same thing may have happened to you.

[Rickt]

Haha thank you, I'm going to be giving him an evil glare now whenever I see him XD

[LastbornSmudg3]

I've never had a problem with PLAY.com i get every xbox item from there, if i pre-order games really early i even get the games a day before release! (Sweet) Also why is the standered and limited edition both £30? I had the same thing for Lost Planet when it came out, every other game they add £5 or so for limited edition.

Also on that note Devil May Cry 4 has the coolest limited editon tin case i ever seen, looks awesome.

that really sucks.
