This unfortunately means we are unable to cover all of our pre-orders for this game. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]While we regret disappointing our customers, we feel that letting you know as soon as possible and cancelling your order is preferable to keeping your order open for perhaps weeks past the release date when you may be able to source the item elsewhere.[/FONT]

I got this too. I think they've got a cheek to criticize special offer websites when they must have generated masses of business from them ,ie us.
I think I'll boycott them, until the next good deal

Just got the same message, will be writing a strong letter to them asking to be removed from the database. this is not the way i expect a reputable company to behave.

got the same email. wrote straight back asking for at least an explanation for the reason why the order has been cancelled! will not be using this company in future and will be letting as many people as possible know how poorly they treat consumers.
