Thanks to poor weather, import shipments were delayed
(again) and we now expect the remainder of this week's
products on Monday. Mother Nature is a cruel
mistress/maelstrom. 
Final Fantasy ~ The Adventure Bible has been delayed
to the end of August. We will update our customers who
pre-ordered this item once it arrives. The 3-DVD set
features artwork, background, and data from all ten volumes
of the Final Fantasy game series.
PS2
HDD kits are shipping next week from Sony. This means our
suppliers will be able to fill backorders and pending orders
by the second week of August. FFXI is also expected in that
time frame.
PREORDERS
FOR IKARUGA ARE NOW CLOSED AS OF AUGUST 02 - 02:55PM EST.
OUR ONLINE STORE STILL LISTS THIS GAME BUT WE CANNOT
GUARANTEE WE WILL SUPPLY THE GAME TO YOU IF YOU ORDER NOW
SINCE PREORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED. DEMAND HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING
AND MANY CUSTOMERS ARE ORDERING MULTIPLE COPIES. A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE ORDERED 30 COPIES EACH, WE ASSUME FOR POSTERITY AND
E-BAY. WHOLESALE ORDERS HAVE ALSO BEEN BRISK IN RECENT
WEEKS.
NCS
will begin processing and charging our customers for Ikaruga
preorders on Monday
of next week. We will split up preorders into 30 equal batches
so that one batch will be submitted each day over the next
30 days. Preorders will be processed in the order they were
received. As mentioned before, we are unable to process and
charge the
large amount of Ikaruga preorders in one sitting or even
within 2 weeks time. There are simply too many preorders to
handle in a short time frame. A month gives us leeway and
time to complete everything for an efficient ship-out of the
game. A mass mailing will be dispatched later today to
everyone who has preordered Ikaruga. Update below
(2:06PM EST):
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mean I will be
charged for the game before it ships?
Yes. Early preorders
from April will be charged first. If you preordered in late July then
your order would not be processed until the last few batches.
As detailed in our posting, we would not have enough time to
charge everyone's preorder if we started processing a week before the game ships.
We have a very large amount of preorders for this game. If we were to wait until
say, September 01, we would not be able to ship everyone's preorder the week
(or the month) the game is released.
Isn't it NCS' policy to not charge preorders until the game
ships?
Normally yes, but in this case [rehash] we
would not have enough time to charge everyone's preorder if
we started processing a week before the game ships. We have
a very large amount of preorders for this game. If we were to wait until
say, September 01, we would not be able to ship everyone's preorder the week
(or the month) the game is released. [/rehash] We would
finish up processing preorders in November if we were to
wait until September 5 to start submitting credit card
charges for this game. Transaction limits also put a clamp
on how many charges and dollar volumes we can process in a
single day. So sorry.
Thanks
to everyone who offered advice and recommendations on
strippers. Some of you know a little too much
