Xbox360 Seekers of Adoulin backordered...from SE shop

I had pre-ordered Seekers of Adoulin for 360 and now an unfortunate e-mail greeted me this morning:

Was anyone else greeted by this unfortunate situation?

How long do you think we'll have to wait for them to ship? :(

At least I got the pre-order bonus heh

I got the same thing and I got the music box bonus. 5 songs on digital download.

I was going to order it online until I noticed my local Gamestop was selling Xbox 360 copies of the expansion and ultimate collection.

Mine was pre-order though.

The only thing that scares me is that they never ship 'em again.

Does anyone @ SE do their job? I swear I was at the welfare office with the way they operate their bussiness. How can you not have enough copies of a game for your launch?

Well maybe because an expansion for FFXI at this point has a very limited demand. I don't mean 'small' demand. I mean predictable demand. The playerbase for FFXI at this point probably doesn't increase much.

But after analyzing what I just typed...then they should have predicted better :(

There are still some at Newegg.com that aren't sold out. Just cancel your order and buy the expansion elsewhere. Unless you're from the EU or non-us account.
