TLDR, because BestBuy.ca is just terrible
Long version, remember my woes about the whole "in store" versus "online exclusive" crap they were pulling, and the incorrect advertising of both? Well it led me to preorder this Steelbook months in advance. In fact when all that sht hit the fan, Spiderman was the first Steelbook I preordered. Easy peasy right?
I'd preordered a handful of SB's since then, all going well. On release day, I'd get a charge notice, and eventually a shipping notice. But not with this one. I didn't even notice it was out until a day later while out hunting for other stuffs. So I immediately check my emails, and I got nothing. No emails, and no transaction in my Paypal. I logged into BestBuy so check out the status, and it says "out of stock"........
Doesn't a preorder...
RESERVE the stock? In the mean time (and now about 3 days after release) it comes back in stock online (albeit for less than a day) but my original transaction still says the same things: out of stock, no charges, nothing shipped. So I figure, to hell with waiting and seeing, and I ordered a couple. A day later... the preorder charges and ships...
WITH ZERO NOTIFICATIONS. And naturally, all 3 end up on my doorstep yesterday.
So I'm keeping the pic of the litter, giving one to a friend, and probably xmas'ing the third to my nieces.
