You can still order the bonus through the US website and they'll ship it to Canada and convert the money and all that, but as I said previously, doing that makes the game even more expensive.

Strangely enough, the EBGames site seems to ship everywhere but the UK, so I ended up buying from GameStop (who, interestingly enough, are in talks to buy out the company I work for at the moment). Cost me just over $55 in the end including P&P, which is good because I'll be paying roughly $54 here when it comes out and that's with my staff discount! (About $80 full price).

For those who pre-ordered online using EBGames. All you have to do is send them an email or make a phone call to get the new price :).

Hello,

Q1: Will you chage my order #xxxxxxxx the old price of Suikoden V or the new one? You recently dropped the price of Suikoden V from $49.99 to $39.99 but my order still shows the old price.

Regards,
Basel Mahdi

That's wonderful Basel. I shall send an e-mail to them immediately. I didn't expect them to be nearly that helpful.

Edit: They did update my price soon after I asked. They were very helpful.

Preorder

Post by Shigure »

I've never preordered before and I'm VERY interested in that Suikoden Artbook, and it's nearing release. I don't have a local Gamestop but I do have a local EBgames. Money's not really an issue and neither is patience, however could someone outline all the stuff I'd have to do to get that preorder bonus?

Example; Do I have to walk in, request the preorder bonus, can I order the bonus online, is it naturally assumed that I GET the bonus if I do order online?

Anything'll help. Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvience.

Woo, I've missed alot ._.
I'm not sure, but I think that the gamestop preorder is store specific, because mine still doesn't know about it. I'm going to call others to find out some things, but so far none of the stores within my location know of anything.
