Do me a favor D, check your email confirmation....then use that info to check your order status. Let us know if it's been cancelled as well.

Thanks in advance.

bought 3 controllers and 3 games,

great prices!

My guess is they were probably slightly overstocked on these items and wanted to clear some back-stock, but I don't think they counted on the anandtech effect...

now they have to decide if they want to just cancel all the orders that they can't fill...

the one weird thing about the deal, if these orders are getting cancelled why not also pull the items from the site or raise the price instead of continuing to let people order and then go back and cancel...

oh well, crossing my fingers anyway (I have 4 controllers and 1 wavebird now, but the buttons on a couple of the controllers are getting pretty soft after many nights of multi-player button mashing! )

~~homer

UPDATE
like everyone else before me, within 5 minutes of placing my order it shows cancelled on their website.
they are so efficient at cancelling orders, maybe have somebody put a little time into PULLING THESE ITEMS OFF THE SITE!

oh well, you win some, you lose some!

My orders of Star Wars: Rogue Leader and Wave Race: Blue Storm were cancelled. I was only able to get NBA Courtside for $21.10 shipped. Should I cancel it all?

I still see rogue leader for $5.95. Shipping kills it though, if there is nothing else cheap to buy.

I ordered all the XBox games. Just checked the status and they were all canceled. I called the CSR and she said they were all "while supplies last" and a lot of the online orders were cancelled.

mchurchm - i ordered rogue leader by itself last night, and my order is showing up as cancelled today. my guess is that they still haven't updated the system for that particular game.

glad u all got your games. I received this email today:

Hello. I am writing with regards to your recent PC and Mac Connection
order. Unfortunately, we cannot supply the following items from the order:

qty 2 267437 Game Cube Spice Controller
qty 1 269599 StarWars Rogue Leader for Game Cube
qty 1 307701 spy hunter for Game Cube

These items were available in limited quantities. Due to overwhelming
response, they were sold out before our system could update inventory to our
website over the weekend.
I am very sorry for any frustration or inconvenience this causes you.

Please contact us with any further questions.


do u think its worth me giving them a poor rating or just let it go. Cause this is not my fault that they didn't have enough stock!

if somebody got in on the deal and it was legit, then no need to complain. if they were just messing around with their prices to draw us in, and nobody got anything shipped, then complain

all your credit card number are belong to them!

Get this. I ordered 3 games. They emailed me and cancelled two of them. The only one left was State of Emergency. I called them to cancel the order since I couldn't see the sense in paying almost $10 shipping for a single, $6 game. The nice CSR said the game was already shipped by the time I called. I asked her if I could refuse the shipment and get a full credit. She said, "Well, how about if we just credit you for the shipping and you keep the game?" No complaints here. Crappy game but for $6 and free shipping, I give props to PCConnection.

I don't think a company deserves props for cancelling certain items in an order and charge the same s/h fees without notice.

I just placed an order for 20 Luigi's Mansion games and 1 spice controller. So far everything went through fine. I'm still waiting on the confirmation email.

Thanks fleaBay dweller for sucking up all the cheap merchandise... :disgust:

qty 2 267437 Game Cube Spice Controller
qty 1 267440 Luigi's Mansion for Game Cube
qty 1 307701 Smashing Drive for Game Cube

So, I checked my order status and it stil lhave Smashing Drive as being processed but with $10+ shipping.

Then I sent them an e-mail and said I would wait for everthing to come back in stock (I knew they wouldn't go for it) and to ship them all together as I didn't want to pay $10 for one game. Now, this morning I check my order and find the following:

1
303697
Namco Smashing Drive GC
Shipped
$5.95
Sub Total
$5.95

Shipping Fee
$.88

Tax
$.00

Total
$6.83

Kind of cool. Just wish I could get the other stuff I ordered. Like SpyHunter which they never mentioned was Out of Stock. Oh well, at least I scored on one item. :)

Did you get your games? I can't wait to see them on ebay so you can turn a tidy profit, lamer.

Thanks!
