KOF XII delivery Gamestopped

   FGC News   August 4, 2009  2 Comments

As you may or may not know, I pre-ordered my KOF XII.? As you may or may not know, Gamestop actually released the game EARLY, before the official release date.? What’s even more amazing, my copy of KOF XII arrived in London, UK, on the 27th!!!!!!

However, this joyful event was offset by two things:

a) I was actually in Osaka, Japan, at the time.? They attempted to deliver twice and were about to “abandon” delivery when I called on the 3rd, just in time to re-arrange delivery.

b) I had to pay a VAT charge of ?17.90 on top of the retail price + shipping.? Nnnng.

Still, if I hadn’t been in Japan, I guess having the game before release date would have been pretty damn cool!? It should arrive today, don’t expect any updates :3 I’ll leave some comments as soon as I get into the whole lag/online play/broken raiden-mature-bug debate.

    They called back at 4pm. It’ll come back from Germany and they’ll attempt to deliver then when I get the fucking card (as I’ll obviously be out) I can arrange a re-delivery. Which probably means the 14th or 15th August.

    SEE YOU ON GGPO

    Ah. UPS decided, after two attempts, to “abandon” delivery and send the game to their “overgoods” department… in Germany. I called them up and they said they had cancelled this process and it would be delivered the next day. Guess what, I waited all day and called the next morning to discover that the cancellation order hadn’t reached the depot in time. So now XII is on its way to Germany. Uh huh. Should be a week before I get it back! Nnnnng. Whatever. I still have to sort out all the crap I got from Japan.
