So Walmart is going to cancel my Pip Boy edition.

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 3:34 pm

Just wanted to put this out there so I ordered the PS4 Pip boy edition from Evil corp. aka Walmart back in june well the card I used expired in august now I goto the site to update my info and low and behold I can't and customer service isn't a big help first agent didn't know jack so after an hour and a half of holding I get a supervisor and he explains to me the reason I can't update my order information is because the item in question is out of stock and with no other information can't do anything but the only option I can do is cancel it WTF! I know Walmart isn't really up to date with the times but this is just lame bush league crap so because of the most ridiculous of thing I won't be playing Fallout 4 never played 3 but saw friends and family play the games and I liked the storyline and was really looking forward to 4 on PS4 but thanks to Walmart I won't be preparing for the future. hope this info helps out anyone that's ever ordered from them.

Yep.
But honestly just get the Pipbou edition off Beth's site here if it is available, or buy the reg.
Why does everyone say "I'm not gonna play x game!!!@@!!Ggrrrr!" due to a silly reason, it's not the game or companies fault.

You really aren't going to play the game because you can't get a plastic toy that Todd even said is a "gimmick"?? That's pretty sad.

I agree, have mercy and use more punctuation. That was a challenging read.

But you have to face it, blame Wal-Mart all you want but you let your card expire without updating it or paying for the whole thing before the card expired...it's actually your fault this time, not Evilcorp.

Soo.. you used a card that was going to expire in the first place before launch, which you knew, and then didn't update it until 3 months later..

Yeah...

Besides why are you not getting the game anymore, just because you are missing out on some collectibles?

Exactly, it's about the game, not the collectibles - op can't pretend to be a fan or care to play a game when describing his scenario in such a way that it seems he won't play the game now cause he can't have his pip-boy...oh please...just buy the normal game and move on haha.

You really shouldn't have used a card that you knew was going to expire before your order shipped - they can't charge the card until it ships.

Are you sure they didn't send you an e-mail warning you that they would cancel the order if you didn't update your payment info? Maybe it went to your spam folder.

A fair statement but if the OP is looking for sympathy, as it would seem, it's not a surprise for him to be given a hard time for being irresponsible and blaming someone else for it.

Ain't it just a place-holder? They don't expect you to pay for the game until you pick it up. You should be able to just update order with the store you can pick it up from and then pay cash or with a new card. Or is the Pip Boy edition a shipping only deal like MGSV collectors edition?

I always pre-order and then pay in cash in person at the store.

Probably wasn't the OP's intention.

Well, yeah, this is normal. It's up to you to make sure that your card is up to date.

Doesn't matter if he intended to pay cash or not. If your card is expired, the retailer has no guarantee that payment will be made on release day. They'll give it to someone else who has guaranteed payment.

That said I walked out with a copy of Sjyrim at midnight from gamestop with no preorder. Chances are OP can get one with no preorder easily.

Let's not be so quick to judge, folks. US Bank has replaced my ATM card thrice this year due to "random security sweeps". I would be supremely P.O.d if GameStop up and cancelled my pre-order, and that's just for a regular copy of the game. OP, that's rough, buddy. You wanna go down to the Walmart and just...pee on it a little? I've found that to be a good way to let it out when a business has wronged you.

It was a online pre order. I just don't understand why Walmart needs the item to be still available in order for me to update my info. Does'nt make sense to me. now with my The Division target pre oreder(I used the same card) was able to update with no problem at all go figure. Well I don't know about you but I was really looking forward to that pip boy on my wrist. now that's truly making a game feel really immersive.

Lol! I don't think I'd want to go down to the local Walmart and attempt that I'll most likely get arrested for indecent exposure.

That makes a lot more sense, I wouldn't ever say Wal-Mart ever had customer satisfaction as a priority and they honestly don't care or try, and Target is about the opposite in many ways so I shop there instead. If it makes you feel any better, I watched a pip-boy edition unboxing video and it honestly doesn't look very quality, a cheap plastic gimmick so you may not be missing out on too much. Hey, get creative with some cardboard and other materials with paint and sandpaper and make one yourself, could be pretty neat. :)

That really svcks. I can understand why you're angry. I would be pissed too. Still buy the base game, but then again. I NEVER do anything like that through Walmart. I go Amazon all the way. They're more trustworthy with everything.

Two things. First, I have to agree with the comments on his puncuation. I had a really hard time reading the OP.

Second, your D&D joke had me laughing hard. Good grief, that was funny.
