FFXI Soundtrack on backorder

[Ketaru]

Thanks a lot, sir!

Hey gang, I checked into this for you all. Basically the email you received is simply an automated message that is generated when the item(s) in your order are not available to be shipped on the pre-determined release date (in this case, on 11/15). While the message does say it's "out of stock" and makes it seem like your order is up in the air, the notice is simply being generated and sent because the products are not yet in stock in our system to send out. So hang tight, your orders are fine and there's no need to worry!

Does this also include the code for the new Spinet furniture? My worry is that because it says backorder, that it's now the 2nd printing of the CD, where it said:

As a special bonus, the first edition of the soundtracks will include an in-game item code redeemable for a "Spinet" — a Juenoan-styled keyboard furnishing plays a song at random from a selection of 11 songs every time you enter your Mog House!

Will we still be guaranteed the code for the Spinet?

If I don't get codes, all my disks go back...

I ordered them to get them here in time for my wife's birthday to give her one, and your delightful delay just messed that plan up. Now I was hoping to give them as a Christmas gift for everyone. But no Spinet = dealbreaker. I like the music, but the reason I ordered the number I did was so we all got the items...

[Pawkeshup]

Um Bayohne, I think you need to double check that. I just emailed and they said that, in fact, it IS out of stock, there is NO eta on shipping the item, and they did not confirm whether or not we'd receive the first edition bonuses we were promised.

it's been one week and we haven't heard anything else. I really hope we get the cd that comes with the ingame item code.

Relating to the soundtrack for some of us that did get it, how do I claim the Spinet? I'm not sure if you sent directions in different languages to different regions, but I pre-ordered mine out of a retailer in Hong Kong and the instructions are all in Japanese...that is if I'm looking at the right thing.

This doesn't sound legitimate to me. I thought the only way to get it was through SE's online store?

Well.. i wasn't worried, but now I sort of am. Haven't received my cd either ...

My code works. It's legit.

My Japanese soundtrack just arrived (I ordered from Play-Asia) and my code for the Spinet registered just fine on my EU account - thought I'd post just to let others know.

[RagingAvatar]

Proof Really pleased that the code worked - and shame on you Square Enix for forgetting about your European fans. I have to say that I'm really disappointed in our treatment in regard to this CD - I expected more.
