Subject: Too Many Swag Bags Were Sold.

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.

Cortana: The message just repeats. "Regret, Regret, Regret."
Miranda: Any idea what it means?
Sgt. Johnson: Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
Marines: Hoo-rah!

I don't think Bungie would screw over their fans like that. As the article says, if it comes down to that, they'll cancel.

I will be pissed if they cut the multiple orders down to one.

1. Fixed price.

2. Every sack will be worth the price you pay for it. Some will be worth way more.

3. You can buy multiples.

4. We're still figuring out the sweet spot. It won't be super expensive.

I got mine second round of the gorilla bags ~2:25pm pacific time.

You will be complaining about not getting your desired amount of bags when some people didn't get any. Words can not describe the way you enrage me.


I'd be more upset for the fact that they changed their policy after I had ordered my bags. I know I lucked out in the first place.

Lol. A lot of people are going to be disappointed when they open their swag bag only to find a couple women's shirts and some nick nacks

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

I'm about 300% less excited for my bag to ship now.

I support PORYGON.

Well, that might suck for some people. Glad I bought it at 2:30 and stuck with my gut and not cancel. Although, that still might not excuse me from getting a bag canceled.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

They better give me something worth while...

Urk, if you see this, I spent $96 NZ... I am not asking for much... but at least some swag that isn't a waste of money... thank you so much Bungie for all your hard work and dedication to your fans...

I love it when NeoGaf gets updated before us! :D


Would you expect anything more? During the entire swag fiasco Bungie only updated their twitter. What about those who don't use Twitter?

Yep. Not freaking out for three reasons. 1. The order is still open on Amazon. 2. I got an email from the BungieStore saying my order was open and would ship soon. 3. The BungieStore isnt even open yet. Why would they start cancelling orders when they aren't even working?

I've had experiences where a charge disappeared while it was "processing" on my online bank account, and it reappeared later when my card was actually charged for it. Besides, I'd at least think they would email you apologizing for having to cancel your order. Don't worry about it until urk says something else on NeoGaf :P

Gray socks are best socks. White is second, black third. Every other sock color is simply horrible.

I ordered mine over the Bungie Store, it charged my card, I have the confirmation email, and it says I should get my bag in about a week. I hope I'm fine.

Are you being serious right now? Twitter is a free service and all the swag bag tweets were made public. All you had to do to be informed on the Twitter front was stop crying about nothing and open up a tab with Bungie's feed.

Weird... checked my bank account and money seems to not of gone through, yet I did see it ready to go through not long after ordering the Swag... but I checked my order on Amazon and it says "Shipping Soon"...

I AM CONFUSED.

Yup, most who bought a bag on the 30th probably are right now. If a transaction stays pending and is not finalized within a certain number of business days, the bank will end. That pending transaction was basically Amazon pinging your account to make sure it was there and had the funds(Amazon like most online stores don't actually bill you until your order has shipped). Once the items ship out, the transaction will probably be made again and those funds will leave your account again for real.... unless they have to start cancelling orders, then who knows.

  • 07.06.2011 8:49 AM PDT

If you can't trust yourself, then don't trust anyone.

I went on to my bank account, and there was no amazon transaction taken on the 30th :(.i got my money back, did they cancel my swag bag order?

Edit: It still says shipping soon on amazon.

2nd Edit: Whoops didn't see the post above me, I hope they didn't cancel it :/

He makes a good point. The fact that Twitter is free is totally irrelevant. A lot of people don't tweet. Pardon the dramatic metaphor, but it'd be like the government using satellite radio to broadcast an emergency instead of the standard radio alert.

I don't use Twitter and I still use it to keep up on Bungie info faster. It's a lot more organized for them to use their official Twitter or even their official forums rather than a completely irrelevant forum to make official statements. I hadn't even heard of NeoGAF until yesterday.

Just because they have an official account, doesn't mean it's a format embraced and used/followed by all (although, 73k folks is a LOT ;). You're right though. Twitter's more organized from a sheer distribution standpoint and fast and easy too. And while I wouldn't call the NeoGAF announcement official, yeah, WTF? Seems like Frankie (at 343) and Urk are dropping too many nuggets over there. Somebody explain to me what's the big deal about NeoGAF. :-/ I got enough stuff to keep up with.
