    Looks like, although those games are still in the sale, most of the prices have increased. Think we bought at just the right time

    Yeah, don't fall for their "sale" unless it includes a considerable voucher (which it sometimes does, but is very well hidden if you don't read carefully).

    Damn, when they started the sale, stuff like Batman Arkham City and Skyrim was only 10% off.
    Sometime between then and now it changed to 60% off on everything in the sale.
    Unfortunately Batman was sold out already by the time i found out, but at least managed to pick up Skyrim (Xbox) for R214.

    You mean you hope you picked up Skyrim.

    Pretty much everyone has received an email stating that there isn't actually stock of most of the games.

    Bullshit sale yet again from Exclusive Books.

    I got an email confirming that Arkham City (pc) was out of stock, but the rest of my order (Saints Row 3) was in stock and would be delivered.

    Well, my credit card's been charged so there'd better be stock!

    They will issue a refund. That's what they did for me.

    Hopefully you struck it lucky then.

    Many other people got mails saying no Ass Creed, no Skyrim, no Batman or Saints Row.

    Well that's the case with things going viral. I mean during the last sale I managed to secure 3 copies of Fable 3, 2 Copies of FFXIV and 1 copy of Dead Rising 2 for people in the office.

    I explicitly responded to the email to confirm that I will be receiving the balance of my order and they confirmed that is indeed the case. So it would suck quite a bit if I don't get it.

    Shitty shopping cart system if you ask me.


    Orders should be directly linked to inventory, not processed after the fact on a first come first served basis.

    They should have learnt their lesson the very first time they got it all wrong.

    Won't ever be buying from them again, not their website at least.

    To be fair I did notice that the moment after I placed my order of Saints Row that the item was listed as out of stock on the actual site. This was directly after submitting my order.

    So it probably does an inventory lookup at the point where you add it to your cart as opposed to immediately before it tries to process your payment.

    That does sound a wee bit better at least.

    You said it. Absolutely ridiculous.
    Good day,
    We regret to inform you that the title you have ordered is completely out of stock. This means we cannot fulfill your order. We have processed a refund into your credit card and it should reflect in the next 48-72 working hours.
    Regards,

    The irony of it all is that Batman is available to order on the website again...

    Batman Arkham City
