Just a heads up for those that pre-ordered the FM4 LE from Best Buy, there is a good chance you won't get one. I pre-ordered my copy on July 25th and I just got an email that they can't fulfill my order :grumpy:

But, if I pre-order the regular version with BB, I get a $20 gift card and 1,600 MS points, so I'm going to do that.


Jerome

I hope that's not the same with EB Games... (gamestop)
 
Amazon must be out too:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050SYQLG/?tag=gtplanet-20

$240 for a new one, $5222 for a used one. Something is fishy with the inventory.

.....I must admit.. I am STEAMING about the thought of turn ten locking cars to the LE and there could be this going on. See this console gen with all the "season pass" BS and different store pre order bonuses is getting on my nerves. I really could just forget all about this game for six months and just by the super duper edition with all the DLC in it for $25 if the "LE" is really limited. I wish these console developers cut this nonsense out.

EDIT: sorry about the rage just having a rough day. Out of character.

Exclusive pre-order bonus, season pass, online pass. Yup this stuff is getting quite frustrating for sure. I wanted the pre-order Subaru but I didnt want to order from Amazon. Now I am really glad I didnt since it sounds like some people wont be getting the LCE from BB.
I always pre-order from Gamestop because so far I havent had a single issue getting my game the day it comes out.

What?!?!?!?! I would have been pissed. GS better not even think of it. Did they say why all of a sudden they couldn't fulfill the order since you pre-ordered well in advance?

Honestly man, I STILL play FM3 all the time and seeing the lock on that SLS, Koenigsegg and LFA honestly still pisses me off a little bit. I bought all the DLC packs minus one and they expected me to go out a buy the game AGAIN for three awesome cars.. man GTFO. I would like some dinner and a movie before i get screwed. Much as I really have enjoyed all three Forza games, outside looking in man it looks like we are getting screwed in a way.

Same here and totally agree with you. I really hope they don't pull that stunt again.

I still play F3 to this day and I hear ya. I only bought the regular edition for F3 and in fact I only buy the regular edition for any game. But I can see where people would be really mad that had the LCE for F3. To come out with the FUC for $30.00 with all the DLC and then have cars that others cant get was pure BS. My friend bought the LCE then bought all the DLC then bought the FUC. Thats just crazy.
I still havent been able to drive the Cuda yet so I am thankful its in F4. I also took a risk this time and went with the LCE for F4. I sure hope they dong let me down.

They 'severely under-ordered the FM4 LE' (according to the BB online rep I spoke to) and didn't expect near the amount of interest in the LE. Amazon is no longer taking pre-orders (unless you want to get finanically RAPED as someone else pointed out), Wal-Mart and GS are no longer taking LE pre-orders. I just decided I would rather have the rare content in the LE rather than the MS points, so I went to eBay and did a BIN on one of the LE's there for only $20 more than retail...not too bad considering.

eBay Link.

If you are even on the fence about wanting the FM4 LE, act fast otherwise you'll see Amazon's prices on eBay.

I'll get my copy around Oct. 14th so until then I'll use my CSR (when it arrives) on GT5 :D

It is a bit mad.

Still I did order from Amazon just because it was the only way to get the Alfa, got to have my own car.

:lol: I guess a used-acceptable copy is far more valuable than a brand new copy.

I believe you get the Impreza from Amazon.
 
Game UK just emailed to say I might have a cancellation order due to high demand.

If I do I'm to place an order with them again with a link provided.

I will get delivery message to say It's being sent out early.
It isn't actuall,y that's there way if telling me it's being held for me.

Tracking delivery won't be activated until the evening prior to release.


Are these jokers for real or what.
Pissed.

Wow. BB really dropped the ball on that one if they were sold out before you pre-ordered your copy back at the end of July. I would have thought that you still had pre-ordered early enough to get one of the few copies they had. I pre-ordered my copy from GS back on June 30th so I should be good even if the same thing were to happen with them.
 
I have a question.

Does anyone know if you need to be a Gold member to post hotlap times for the full game?

If there is an online hotlap leaderboard in the game, yes you will need to be a gold member. Otherwise, you can play locally (not online) with your silver account. Assuming they have a per-track leaderboard like in GT5 of course.

They sure did Chris 👎 Next time I need to pre-order, it will be with Gamestop. They are always solid and know the importance of LE releases like this.

I pre ordered from Amazon when release date was announced.

It was cancelled without any notification to myself.
They actually only have copies from Germany. Unless something's changed recently.

Depending on when you ordered, especially if early. Have a quick check.
 
As of now my Amazon pre-order is still active, though I did only order it last month so we'll see what actually happens.

Alright man.Thanks.

I was hoping i didn't have to get the Gold membership(oh well).It's been over 2 years since i've had gold,since i bought my PS3.

Not if you live in the UK you don't...

Mine's still in place (had to go and quickly check).

Bunch of amateurs.
 
I'm hanging now?

Wait to see if game are going to cancel or not, what's that all about.

I could be ordering from Amazon as we speak.

Knob heads. I hate game anyhow.

Ever since they added £3 to limited edition shift 2 in store.

EA unusually gave the LTD edition at no extra cost if you preordered, for some extra events via DLC code.

Game had the cheek to add £3, silly I know but it's the principle.

I placed my pre-order on the 29th June so I'd hope that's early enough not to encounter any problems.

Still, the email they sent smacks of incompetence. Surely these companies know how many copies of the LCE they will have and only accept as many pre-orders?

Maybe some of the pre-orders got lost in shipping or damaged. To counter this they should order extras to make sure every pre-order is covered.
 
Honestly...after checking around online and seeing it sold out all over and thinking about the cars being locked and the whole "unicorn" car thing. Must say I am very disappointed, I may just avoid this site to keep my hype down and wait for this to be on sale around black Friday.

I am very disappointed. May just work on doing 100% of the events in FM 3 to pass time.

I got the same email......I'm pissed! :ouch:
 

A bit on the later side but I think GS had one of the bigger quantities of LCE copies so you should be good. Just make sure you get to the store early to pick it up because I have heard of people getting to the store and they have none left. I will be at the door before its unlocked for customers. I was even thinking about going the night before and seeing if I can bribe someone at the counter to give it to me early. (maybe tell him here's $10 just don't process my pre-order receipt until the morning since it's all ready paid for in full) :sly:

Wow man! I feel for you guys. I wouldn't be happy.
