Heavensward CE preorders not being released in AUS???

The thing is Arielyanna I spoke with the person who does that job in a GameStop warehouse (I was good working friends with that person when I was a store manager for that company); they said nothing was slated...so basically SE Store Online.

Fair enough, but AUS/NZ have a long standing history of getting screwed over when it comes to shiny things being released. Quite a few (if not most) of the CE's and limited edition consoles never make it to our stores, so I would just like confirmation from a rep that there is no need for concern, or that it is true that AUS/NZ are not getting CE's (or at least a "we'll look into it")

I'll concede that point... however in the past we have sometimes received titles released here BEFORE NTSC territories and we have received quite a lot of CE of many other titles in the past. I have a feeling that even if a forum mod or rep from SE themselves were to respond, the official info would be that 'preorders will start on the 16th of March'.I'll agree also that yes it is frustrating not knowing, but until the official date has released (personally, I'd wait til the 18th before contacting EB Games/JB HiFi/etc... give them sometime to update their systems), just be patient and wait.

I'm friends with 3 store managers as well as the state manager for EB Games in my state and they can not take preorders for any title, until head office has put the relevant information for the title in their system. I admit, while they are taking preorders for Mass Effect 4 now (with a release date of 30/12/2016 and a RRP of $9,999,99) and not for Heavensward is weird, but hey... that's the way the company does things. Thing is, how can stores like EB Games/Gamestop/JB HiFi and the like, take preorders for something if it's not in their systems yet? They can't, they have to wait for the companies to inform their head office with the info, so they can update their systems and then start taking preorders.

Officially, we won't get anything concrete infowise, until the 16th... and like I said to Mayoyama, wait until the official date SE has stated for preorders to commence, then contact your store of choice (again, I'd wait for the 18th, to be sure that the systems have been updated) and ask if Heavensward is in their systems and be available for preorder.

We did get this: https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/...ition/22140675

I'm still holding out hope.

Heyo, I actually work for MightyApe (hopefully I don't get in trouble for saying this >.>) and I've already asked out product manager about this. We haven't got confirmation just yet if we can get it, but I've definitely got my fingers crossed.

That said, I am pretty hopeful that we'll get it, since we got the previous one. I'm just glad that SE hasn't forgotten us NZ and Australian folk!
