[slapdash]

Bitter me wants to mention this game in the "holiday most wanted" thread...

[c0ldb33r]

I got an email today letting me know that they gave me a refund.

[skaar]

Paypal refunded.

LAME.

[Dangerboy]

Same.

Ah well.

[Oobgarm]

I just had my order processed today through paypal. WTF? Waiting on an answer from them as to what's going on.

[ScourDX]

I got the same message. I like to know if they actually going through the production.

[Icarus Moonsight]

I made my pre-order with my bank CC... Confirmed charges on my holds list.

Merry Christmas from NIS!?

Looks like they got some retail support after all (wonder who exactly?)... Unless this is all a tech boo boo.

[PapaStu]

Yea...... This is the email I got from them this morning

I wouldn't be so sure we are getting this. People on CAG have been having all sorts of problems with Rosenqueen in the last week with their holiday sale. Basically, Rosenqueen charged them for these packages and ended up not sending them most of the items and then refused to refund their payments, offering to compensate them with cell phone straps. I can't even log into my account on their site, so I am concerned they were either hacked or are playing some other type of game here. I also can't find the phone number that used to be on their site.

Holy invasion of privacy!

[Bojay1997]

The more I think about this, the more I suspect they set their billing system to charge us all on December 18th which as I recall was the date the game was supposed to ship. I suspect they never deleted the pre-set charge sequence. This really pisses me off.

[Oobgarm]

Number on their site is 714-540-1185

Tried calling but got robot answering machine.

[Aussie2B]

Weird. They just redesigned their main NIS America web site a few days ago, so maybe they're too swamped with that to notice this problem. Or maybe they're in the process of redesigning Rosenqueen as well.

If they are going to manufacture, I'd be happy for them to take my cash, but I really don't see that happening. I hope they sort this out quickly, though, because it really couldn't possibly be a worse time. I mean, it's just a week until Christmas and lots of people are strapped for cash. I wouldn't be surprised if some people factored this out of their plans and now have an overdraft fee, if they had the payment coming out of a bank account that is.

[Bojay1997]

Just got through to their customer service line. It was an error and they told me they are working on processing refunds right now. They apologized and said that e-mails confirming the refunds would go out by the end of the day.

[PapaStu]

Bastards! Get my hopes up like that this morning. Maybe they should just do the run to appease us...

[eskobar]

I was happy when i got the first email in the morning and pretty bummer to get the second one

[Icarus Moonsight]

This wins Irony of the Year...

Fuckin' whores.

I would applaud this decision except for the fact that between charging many of us for a game they will never ship and stating repeatedly that they couldn't get the rights to bundle both games together on a UMD prompting many people to buy the download version, I am pretty much done with NIS. They are an incompetent company that doesn't deserve any of our business.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Seconded. They (NIS America) obviously can't handle their business. You simply can't afford to deal with a niche market as they have, especially now. I'm not talking about just this Badman business... The missing stuffs in those discounted bundles too. Unless the main thrust of their mission statement was to alienate and sour their fanbase... In that case, Mission Accomplished. Now all that's left is to parachute drop a Prinny onto an aircraft carrier.
