Digital River strikes again!
So when the Ni No Kuni Limited edition (PS3 game) went back up with limited stock last week, I was excited. Then I saw it was run by Digital River. Still, was able to get an order in, got a confirmation, everything.
A whole lot of orders got cancelled just now, the day after release, because they couldn't manage stock. That namco club store sells like 10 items, and they couldn't handle it. I hope they're really really cheap, because there are always nothing but complaints about them. So now He-man collectors and videogame enthusiasts can share in the pain...

Any toy collectors posted on any of these gaming sites, referring folks to Google "DR" and "Mattycollector" to see more about this wonderful company's track record?
They're giving strategy guides to people who were effected. My favorite line is "This situation is truly unfortunate, having come about due to a glitch within our E-commerce provider’s ordering system." Funny how the E-commerce provider and the glitch have the same name.
