My order is "delayed" which almost assuredly means "canceled tomorrow".

Some people on reddit were saying they got confirmation codes after the delayed email? They might have been lucky though.

Edit: I just got a code after initially getting the delayed email.

Everyone gets the delayed email, but I got my code and am downloading it now. Remember this is a cross buy thing so even if you only want one version you get them both. That was all I needed to know.

Aren't their hands tied in situations like these? If you bought it for those prices then they have to take the hit and honor them no? I feel like that's the case every other time it happens.

I can't buy it in the UK unfortunately. I don't know if the code would work on my account even if I could get one.

Nah, not at all. I've seen more of these types of pricing errors end in refunding the money than actually giving the costumer the product at <50% of the normal price

I got my copy but after reading all the horror reports on PC, I'm going to sell it for double the price.

Be sure to add a healthy dose of salt to those horror reports as usual :)

Logged in on the US version of the site, used some bogus address info (just typed in random numbers in the zip code and phone number box, that I guess was somewhere in Seneca?)

Got "delayed" email, code came 30 mins after. Downloading now :)

Edit: they fixed it, it's 59.99$ now

edit2: yep, it's gone

That's a bummer. This is the first time I've been able to get in on one of these things.

Nah they seem very legitimate, it has a major CPU utilisation problem. There are people putting their settings on lowest and ultra with hardly any FPS change. It's crazy.

I sold my key for over double what I paid for it. Awesome!

Man...I put in an order just as soon as it was mentioned in UPF today but they cancelled my order :/ Other people were saying they were able to get it in chat I wonder why they got through but I didn't.

They probably had enough of people bying a game for half the price. When it was just a mistake and a few well meaning customers got a good deal its no problem but when its an internet race to exploit a missprint from a store it becomes more so.

So I had my order canceled, tried the customer service chat help and the rep said the best they would offer is a 5% discount for the game if I reordered. I then went to the customer service desk of my local store, showed them the order confirmation and cancellation e-mails and got a $19.99 (+tax) disc version of the game because they were out of code cards. So if your order was canceled and you live near a store, try going in and see if they hook you up like they did me, or maybe I'm just lucky.
