"Social Link Expansion Pack" Restock Availability thread

[onlylunch2]

As the name suggests, this thread is purely for people to post when the "Social Link Expansion Pack" on Amazon is restocked/in stock. If this thread is deemed pointless by any means, feel free to take it down. I just put it up for the people who come check the forums to see if its in stock.

[jeffx]

supposedly you can sign up for amazon to send you email once it goes back in stock... but that never happened for me and Sei (I think it was)

[Sei]

^ Jeff is correct, keep checking, one will pop up eventually, the Amazon automailer doesn't seem to ever work.

[onlylunch2]

Alright, will do. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if atlus even plans on putting more on Amazon? Or was that all? Thanks.

EDIT: Sei your giant fish is very interesting!

[ang3lsh1]

Heads up, Amazon has just restocked and I've just finished my pre-order.

[Sei]

Onlylunch2: Thanks! Futomimi caught it, but there is enough for everyone onde dude is done molesting it.

Feel free to join the cult of the giant (tuna?, bass?, catfish?... nfc) by adding it to your sig!.

For every sig with the fish, someone may feel like eating some and will get very healthy omega 3 fatty acids and not so healthy mercury.

Also, Sashimi is made from special Sashimi grade fish, never attempt to make it from non designated fish at the supermarket, you may get sick. (You require well bred, really fresh fish).

Okay so it doesn't ship to Canada *mega SAD face*

Although unlikely, would anyone be willing to buy me one and ship it to me? I'll pay the product fee, shipping fee, and an additional 20$ for doing me a favor.

Thanks.

[jeffx]

because amazon.COM hates CAnadians when it comes to software and video games. they would rape you with shipping fees anyway, regardless of the fact that their distribution center is in CANADA!!!!

tough luck bro, wait until the next restock. I can let you have my shirt/night gown though?

[onlylunch2]

haha good point. Thanks for the offer, but im really after the second CD >:D haha

[jeffx]

Check your PMs for a solution that won't cost you 20$.

[Enzo_Kensei]

onlylunch2 pls. share me the songs of soundtrack B when it comes out. Thanks in advanced. :)

[jeffx]

^ Your request is probably a big no-no on the Atlus forum.

[Enzo_Kensei]

^ Your request is probably a big no-no on the Atlus forum.

Really? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thnx.

[unknown]

Definitely a big no-no

[onlylunch2]

Thanks a bunch jeffx, that might solve my dilemma. And Enzo, i already have the full OST, both sides. I sent you a private message on how to obtain them. And if you guys are wondering why i want the second half of the P4 OST when i already have it, is because i want to support them! Torrents are awsome but supporting the makers is even better.

[konakona]

More are available right now on the .COM whoever didn't get a chance to grab it...grab it before it's too late again! Here is the link:

[Enzo_Kensei]

I guess I'm being misunderstood. What I meant with "sharing of songs" is that, just to tell me what songs that are included in the CD B which are not included in CD A. Sorry.

[StrikeRaider]

I'll 'trade' my side B if you have the Nocturne OST.

[Invader Random]

I've been an Atlus Faithful for a long time now. You can imagine my delight when I saw the mailer from Atlus talking about the pack, and then my disappointment when I found that you could pre-order them on Amazon.com, yet it said the pack was "not availiable yet" on Amazon.ca. Being new to Amazon (buying), little did I know that meant it was already sold out.

Since then, I've been constantly keeping an eye on the Amazon.ca link and these forum threads. When I saw no activity for a while in them, I started getting worried. It's been a few days now of refreshing on Amazon.ca, (and .com because I'm Canadian and like to give myself false hope >.<) and there has been no sign of restocking the Social Link Expansion Pack on either. Does this mean Atlus is completly out of them now? Say it's not so... I love what Atlus has done with things like this, especially since the price was right. I'm still hoping I can get one from Amazon.ca...I refuse to give in to the price gougers on Ebay.

...Oh, and yeah, I don't think those Amazon email alerts work right now :(

[onlylunch2]

well if you bothered to read my posts earlier in the thread, you would of realised Amazon.ca/.com will NOT sell them to YOU. They expansion packs are sold/shipped ONLY to areas WITHIN the United States and are currently prohibited from shipping them outside US territory. Which royally ####s over all Canadians who live right next door.

[Invader Random]

Hey, no need to be testy. I found this out before I even started reading these forums, I literally had one in my basket at Amazon.com when I found this out. But Amazon.ca will ship to me...Once they restock of course...Unless you're saying .ca won't shop them to Canadians because that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

[onlylunch2]

sorry, i didnt mean to sound testy. Im just putting emphasis on the key words. But yeah i called up Amazon.ca because i was having problems and they said the product itself is not allowed to be shipped to canada, despite it being on .ca

[Invader Random]

sorry, i didnt mean to sound testy. Im just putting emphasis on the key words. But yeah i called up Amazon.ca because i was having problems and they said the product itself is not allowed to be shipped to canada, despite it being on .ca

Wha...But...This can't be right...This thread had Canadians as well as Americans rejoicing in the fact that they snagged one... :question:

[onlylunch2]

hmmm. I cant say 100% but i havent heard of any canadians getting one, or amazin.ca having them. but i signed up for the email thing. and i live on the internet so i check like 7 times a day, and nadda

[Invader Random]

Oh sorry, I meant the other Social Link exp Pack thread in these forums.

[onlylunch2]

yeah so did i :P

[jeffx]

sorry, i didnt mean to sound testy. Im just putting emphasis on the key words. But yeah i called up Amazon.ca because i was having problems and they said the product itself is not allowed to be shipped to canada, despite it being on .ca

that rep was hopped up on goofballs. amazon.ca wouldn't advertise a product that they can't sell to Canadians. call back and smack'em up the side of the head.

[Invader Random]

Help us, Atlus! You're our only hope! Can you straighten out this conundrum? *is hopeful*

[sora4126]

Help us, Atlus! You're our only hope! Can you straighten out this conundrum? *is hopeful*

Just do what Jeff said, call up Amazon and be like "bitches! you're amazon.ca! act like it and gimme my P4 extras!!"

[onlylunch2]

alright so i had it straightened out. I was wrong, no... the representative i spoke to was wrong XD. Either way, lets just hope they get some soon dammit. :P

PS Atlus, if you're reading this, would you mind letting us know when Amazon.ca will have them in stock? Thanks.

[Invader Random]

Just do what Jeff said, call up Amazon and be like "bitches! you're amazon.ca! act like it and gimme my P4 extras!!"

I admire your enthusiasm Sora, but it might just get me hung up on. :D But, if this goes on for another week or so I may have to. Maybe we could make it a united front, "squeaky wheel gets the grease" and all that? I dunno...

[onlylunch2]

Well, i called up and since its on .ca, they said they ship to canadians.
the question remains... when the hell will they have em in stock? The games almost out!

[Inzaghi]

Well, I'm glad that mess got straightened out. But I believe we're out the pack entirely by now on both .com and .ca, so I don't think there'll be any more restocks on either site. Sorry!

Oh, and onlylunch: they'll ship alongside the game in early December, not before.

[Invader Random]

Ah. Excuse me while I cry on the outside and scream on the inside...*sighs*

Oh! But wait! Is there, I mean is it at ALL possible to make more of the pack and restock Amazon.ca and com? As you well know it's in high demand, and the game isn't out YET...Isn't that guaranteed money for you guys?

...Maybe?

[Inzaghi]

Ah. Excuse me while I cry on the outside and scream on the inside...*sighs*

I suggest you dry your tears, cross your fingers, and enter Play Magazine's contest (http://playmagazine.com/index.php?fuseaction=SiteMain.Megaten). They're giving away ten copies of the game with artbook and (crucially) SLEP, plus some other prizes.

There's a slight problem with that contest though... I can't enter 'cause I'm 18.
There's an option for "Under 18" then the next one is "19-24".
Well so long as I get a hold of my artbook when I pick up my game I'll be k, but still, quite a problem.

[dragonlife29]

Yeah, I forgot to post in the magazine thread about that ^ I guess we could just lie, but still...

[onlylunch2]

Ah. Excuse me while I cry on the outside and scream on the inside...*sighs*

ten copies of the game with artbook and (crucially) SLEP, plus some other prizes.

So are there any problems with the art books? (in terms of stock) Cause id be real pissed if my eb games doesnt get the art books, since i WILL be in line to get my game.

[sora4126]

Chya, I'm hanging out at mine pretty much the whole day until I get it. And I will be pestering them the whole time about the artbook as well. I'll be sure to come back here after a week of pestering my gamestop and be like "I didn't get mah artbook!!" if I don't get it.

[onlylunch2]

god just thinking about not getting my art book... i've know about P4 since the day it was announced for japan. if anyone has waited for bonuses, its me. On top of that, it doesnt look like i'll get and extra social pack so i better the artbook or heads will roll.

[sora4126]

^That makes two of us... well with the waiting thing anyway. I pre-ordered about 6 months ago, so there better be an artbook waiting for us! Otherwise there will be blood.

[onlylunch2]

dude i swear... i'll make a GTA rampage look like a parade compared to how violent/angry i'll be.

[sora4126]

Jack Thomson would have a field day with our past three messages. XD

Anyway, I doubt I'd do anything physical, I'd ask Atlus about it after a week of bothering my gamestop though.

[onlylunch2]

yeah me too. but before that i'll bring tear gas, flashbang, and a smoke grenade to the line up on Dec 10th. I WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!!!

THIS.... IS.... SPARTA!!.. err.... PERSONA!!!

[sora4126]

I sure hope we're not at the same gamestop. XD
Well, I guess I'll find out if I see smoke and hear people screaming as I'm sitting outside it.

[Invader Random]

I'm really looking forward to the artbook, 'specially since, well-

Oh! But wait! Is there, I mean is it at ALL possible for Atlus to make (or put out) more of the pack and restock Amazon.ca and com? As we and they well know it's in high demand, and the game isn't out YET...Isn't that guaranteed money for Atlus?

...Maybe? I'm not trying to be a pest, I just want to know if it's possible. I really feel like hugging that Teddie plushie right now...

[onlylunch2]

hah yeah, i want to know as well. On a side note, lets hope the new webisodes are out tomorrow! and greater than 3 this time!

[sora4126]

It'll be either tomorrow or the next day. I have a feeling it's gonna be Rise's videos. Either that or stuff on the shadows.

And Inzaghi clearly said they're cleared out and no more restocks for either sites. So I think the chances are kind of slim. In the e-mail they did call the pack "Ultra rare".

[Invader Random]

-I believe we're out the pack entirely by now on both .com and .ca, so I don't think there'll be any more restocks on either site. Sorry!

It's when he said "I believe" and "I think" That got me hoping, since it didn't seem to be a definite no...

[sora4126]

^ You have a point there. Well, hoping's always good. I'll hope for you guys too.

[AzSiDe]

Ah. Excuse me while I cry on the outside and scream on the inside...*sighs*

Is this contest free to sign up, and do you have to be a play magazine subscriber to enter?

[Invader Random]

I don't think you have to be a subscriber, it let me enter right off the bat. Course with my luck at contests...(ie: bad luck, lol)

To Sora: Thanks, every "hope" uh...counts. So, I guess you already got the pack?

[sora4126]

^Well I ordered it. It doesn't ship until December 9th though. I'm definitely bringing my Teddie to school with me. XD

[Invader Random]

^Well I ordered it. It doesn't ship until December 9th though. I'm definitely bringing my Teddie to school with me. XD

December 9th. Still a little ways away...I guess that's why I hope it's possible to make some up for restocks...Like I said, it seems to be guaranteed money...unless it costs more to make them than sell them, not sure. Not that I know the inner goings on of Atlus...Just my optimism.

[Olethros]

You guys probably haven't been around long enough to know this, but your chances to get a definitve answer out of Inzy is basically zero. They (AtlusUSA) simply don't give definitve no answers to anything, just in case a miracle happens. However, by his phrasing and tone it's not too hard to figure out that he would've said no if he could have. At least he pointed you in the direction of the contest, tho.

[Invader Random]

Ok, thank you for the information. Rather than lose all hope...I shall now hope for a miracle, and the fans that never had a chance to get it cause it was too late when the mailer came (or for whatever reason) can join me!

Keep your spirits up, cause that's all we can do! ^.^

[Olethros]

^ Good attitude. I hope it does work out for you.

[Invader Random]

Is there another auction site like Ebay that might have people selling the SLEP? Ebay's out of them (by themselves) and Amazon.ca still has no restock (just in case). If anybody knows, I'd be really grateful. ^.^

[persona3rocks]

i just found exactly 1 one ebay it comes with the game for $109.88

[Djay]

Well, I was lucky to snag a pre-order for the Social Link Expansion Pack on amazon.ca on November 7th. Before then, it still had the "sign up to be notified..." option. I quickly pre-ordered once it came available.

[KillPhil]

It's back in stock on Amazon.ca. I've been checking the page constantly for the past month and stumbled on it by luck tonight (I clicked the bookmark by accident). I signed up to be notified back in October but never received an e-mail.

[persona3rocks]

if anyone buys two plez let m ebuy one i want one so bad but cnt get one from canada plez anyone

[Invader Random]

I got it! I got it! I got it! It's back on Amazon.ca RIGHT NOW! Oh my god I GOT IT! Sorry, I'm just so happy I finally got it!

[RV0LVr]

Lucky people that can order off amazon and will get the SLEP I envy you :(....at least play-asia actually has the bonuses this time around,YAY FOR ARTBOOK & SOUNDTRACK DISC! \(^o^)/

[Olethros]

I got it! I got it! I got it! It's back on Amazon.ca RIGHT NOW! Oh my god I GOT IT! Sorry, I'm just so happy I finally got it!

Congrats. I really am happy it worked out for you. :D

The constant stock fluctuations are a bit weird, though. I'd be curious to know what the hell kind of distribution system the Canadian Amazon has in place, since they seem inconsistent at best.

[Invader Random]

Yes, I had no idea why they were back in stock again, because the last time I checked on Amazon.ca, it finally said they have NO idea if they were getting any again. I had almost-ok, pretty much lost hope when I checked my email and since I subscribed to this thread, KillPhil's post popped up. I freaked out thinking I had missed the window of opportunity again, when I noticed they were still there. I was surprised, since I got the message 4 hours earlier, and read it 4 hours later.

PEOPLE WHO CAN ORDER FROM AMAZON.CA, THEY'RE STILL THERE! I JUST CHECKED! HURRY! http://www.amazon.ca/Persona-Amazon-ca-Exclusive-Social-Expansion/dp/B001H14C8C/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_4

[persona3rocks]

can i get one sent to the u.s. if i get it off amazon.ca

[Eternal Sin]

i dont think so since they have .com for U.S. but maybe. Best way to know for sure is call them up.

[Crazyswayzee]

Argh, that's frustrating.

4 or 5 times it's been in stock and I've missed it everytime.

Oh well, I guess that's just the way it goes....


BTW, it says on Amazon.ca that it's unavailable so it's probably safe to say the pack won't be coming back.
