I havent received my copies today, anyone else ?

Got an email and text this morning saying mines been dispatched

just had mine cancelled

Nintendo's online service is free.

Well it's a service that has been paid for, and I did already mention it's probably in the terms that they can do what they like... But I'm not going to get into this argument as IANAL.

I can't see any reason why. Access to online services is a privilege, not a right,

I would hope so, if they didn't I think a lot of people would have a good case taking Nintendo to court (despite probably having terms of service to say they can do what they like)

Plenty of people who got their pre-orders early were banned, which in my opinion is unfair. I've even heard reports of those with review copies being banned!

​​​No it has not, they can access online features in the game, but they are forever banned from eshop and other online features.

And you need a second 3ds to even think about doing the workaround.

What's the difference of fan edition?

It appears that the person above stole it; region-switching, while still not completely above-board, is comparatively much more benign.

Not sure how that guy got it but my mate switched his eshop to Australia and bought it the other day :smiley:

That still doesn't justify piracy. That aside, you own it how, when the game's not released until next Wednesday?

Don't be so quick to judge i own the original cart and got banned the same as 100's of others, which once i provided proof of receipt was removed

The Pokemon games tend to really hold their price. Especially special editions (even if it is just a tin case). So I'm planning on playing it for a couple months then trade it in when the switch comes out

Ah, but you have stolen the game, then? You must be very pleased with yourself.

Nope not what i did

This would be the reports of people buying a new 3DS, 'injecting' those details into the banned one, then returning the new one, I guess? Given the implications for the subsequent legitimate purchaser, that#s even worse than just pirating the game. :smirk:

I'm enjoying reading the tears around the pirated version of this today.

Nintendo has released the ban hammer on anyone that has played the pirated version online, Gamefaqs and /v/ have imploded.

Cheap for the fan edition till you realise the fan edition is just a metal tin... pretty pathetic. I'll stick with my £30 amazon order. £5 for a tin.. Not even any roses or quality streets in it.

Exactly my thoughts lol. Doesn't make much sense

After SimplyGames massively 'messed up' everyone's orders including mine for the World of Final Fantasy pre orders, I certainly won't be pre ordering anything from the company again! I'd advise going elsewhere to pre order...

Don't think anyone really knows how HUKD works! What's hot for some people is not necessarily hot for others. Some vote hot if it's the cheapest price at the time. Some vote hot if they think the cheapest price is actually a good price.

And excitement for Switch? Yes, definitely. Certainly more excitement than there was for the WiiU. Admittedly more excitement when Switch is looked at as a portable rather than home console. It will blow the Vita out of the water, let alone the 3DS.

...ok i just read the description and yes that's all you get extra. i was hoping I'd missed something!!

don't you just get two game cases?? one metal n one normal? if you get more please let me know as I'm interested lol. Cheers.

If that's a reason to vote cold then people don't understand how hukd works, also excitement for switch? Really?

Thanks cancelled my amazon order for this.

Ooooh...fan edition

Cheaper in loads of places. I got mine for £31.99 at smyths. I saw a sub £30 deal on here the other day

i already have a simplygames account though. Used my other halfs paypal instead so no worries. bit of a pain in the hoop though.

good price. lame payment options. it says "pay by paypal OR via bank card" - when i go to choose bank card i put in all my details but i cant proceed UNLESS i set up a paypal account. super lame. no sale will stick with my nintendo store order.

seen as argos have just told me my preorder of this game might not be available till 2017 thanks

How are simply games in regards to shipping?

Why is this being voted cold? Is there a better offer out there? Thanks

No wristband = no deal :laughing:
