ok...so lots and lots of us had pre-orders....EA must have known the numbers originally before pulling the plug....
So where are these copies...because no one is selling them at the moment..so where they go?
Or were game taking pre-orders on a product they could not deliver (illegal btw under the trade consumers act)...???
So please, stop with the sarcastic slating...we had pre-orders in good faith...in my opinion, it is up to EA/Bioware (by the way guys..same company now,...has been for years) to honour those pre-orders...
Lots of people had pre-orders.
Lots of people missed out because they didn't pre-order in time.
Suddenly all pre-orders are cancelled and up for grabs again elsewhere.
Lots of people who were missing out have now been able to quickly pre-order copies.
Lots of people who had the game pre-ordered since it was announced are now missing out.
Game had all the information on who had pre-ordered with them. EA, Bioware, and all of the new stockists don't. I seriously doubt Game would be legally allowed to share that information about their customers with other companies even if they felt like it, so some organised transfer of pre-orders between retailers is pretty much in the realm of fantasy. Besides which, the retailers don't care who is buying them, so long as they're selling them all.
