[Deal Dead] Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles $14.99 at Sam Goody [Now $49.99]

That's the reserve price. It says reserve instead of buy. They will probably charge you the other $35 when it ships. But you never know.
 
I figured it was worth a shot:

---------------------------------------------
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles / Game
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles / Game
NINT96127CUBE 1 Game $14.99 $14.99

Subtotal 1 US$14.99

US Domestic Mail (may include handling) $2.27


Backorder - Total Price US $17.26

---------------------------------------------

this says the game was charged at $14.99. I'll send it back (or reverse the charges) if they try to charge more when they ship it.
 
Every other pre-order game has the full price listed.

They messed up on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to so it wouldn't be the first time they did this.

Plus if you had to pay more later they would be obligated to tell you.

This is a screw up plain and simple
 
I tried it. I thought at first that the $14.99 price was to reserve a copy, but when you complete the checkout it tells you that the amount listed is what will be charged to your credit card. Like you said, we'll see if it is honored.
 
Yeahman,

thanks for the heads-up on this ;)

what happend w/ the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance pre-order? did they honor their price mistake?

hopefully they will on this one!
 
Actually they would have to contact you to cancel it because I only authorized a $14.99 charge.

I can't tell you how much it f***ing pisses me off when ppl do that. buy one, two, maybe three copies of a game, but NOT tens or hundreds.

"gee, Circuit City is selling $5 games. maybe I'll be a right bastard, buy them all, and make $5 on each one on eBay." :evil:

How do you figure it is the guide? My order says Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles / Game
 
[quote name='crawlingpeter']ive been reading that its actually the guide insted.[/quote]

from the game synopsis? it's a quote, they're quoting the author and source.

How do you figure it is the guide? My order says Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles / Game[/quote]i dunno for sure but apparently they did this before with FFTA and it is the exact price of the guide...

thats not to say it is for sure tho, just telling you what i read at another forum.
 
I never saw the FFTactics with my own eyes. It was posted the same place I got this and when I went to check it, the page was mysteriously unavailable. :twisted:


I second the notion. Don't order a crapload of copies. Give everyone a shot. 8)

Well my order has a column for format and it says Game in that column so if they ship a guide rather than a game they are going to get an earful.
 
I think it goes overboard when people take what they see here and post it some place else. Now THAT IS FOUL. Keep it home people. remember how crazy you were when you first got here and saw all the stuff you missed out on? Let those people find this stuff on their own. at least on the price mistakes. 1000 orders within 3 hours is a red flag for pricing errors folks. they will find out. lets keep it real. I'm going to grab my one copy and be happy as hell if they send it. I'll be real mad if they cancel the day before it comes out because this has been posted all over the place.
 
ordered one ,thanks! and if you look at the synopsis for any other game it quotes a guide to. so it should be the game.lets just hope they honor it.crosses fingers....
 
[quote name='peteyrose']Just ordered 150 copies, thanks for the tip!

:wink:[/quote]

I'm sure your credit company thanks them for it too :D
 
I don't think anyone would want to order a crap load out of the possibility that they end up trying to charge the full $50 per copy on your credit card. I think most "wise" people are only going to experiment with purchasing one copy.
 
I just ordered two copies!
One for me and one as a gift.
I really hope this is for the game and they honor the price.
Otherwise, I am cancelling the entire thing.
 
i already did the 4 for 1 deal at eb but i ordered one anyway. but samgoodys doesnt ship until the 15th. i dont know if i can hold on to my eb copy without opening it to see if this deal works out...

what does it matter? the same sealed game is the same sealed game no matter where it's from, unless the plastic wrap is covered w/ all sorts of nasty stickers.

I'm trying the experiment myself, but they can't change the amount they charge you without getting approval from you first, in which case I'd cancel my order.
 
They never honored the FFTA mistake. Everyone got a letter pointing out that in their legal disclaimer it says they don't have to honor pricing mistakes. And the order was canceled. So at least you're not stuck paying full price. Sorry everyone, don't get your hopes up.

MjC
 
You never know. They can try to charge you, claiming that $15 was the reserve price, and you can take time to dispute it, but if the charges show up at the end of your billing cycle before it gets resolved, then you're faced with an even bigger headache. Good luck to those that do order multiple copies.

No shit, but sadly I've already seen this posted on a major gaming board (XenGamers) so I have little hope this will be honored now. :(

Oh boy, not this arguement again. True, we live in a capitalist economy, but this is a socialist website. If you're looking for a capitalist website, then stick with ebay. That's capitalism at its finest.

I ordered only one I am just pointing out that short of starting your own private site there is no way to stop it. Do not let it piss you off there are far worse things in this world.
 
Ordered 2 as 2 seperate orders. Went through, checked my credit card website, and, yup, they went through as the amount given.

Cha-Ching!

Actually, I'm not "pissed" about anything. I have a feeling that all orders would have been cancelled anyway. Just debunking the "capitalism arguement" that swirls around here from time to time.
 
[quote name='Imation']Think they'll notice before it ships tomorrow?[/quote]

Note that the website lists "2/15/2004" as the release date. The *10th* is the release date. Sounds likes there's bunches of numbers crossed here. At any rate, they've got almost a freakin' week to figure something out, if the 15th is their date for it.

I'm picking my preorder up at EB tommorrow, no matter what.
