Preordering through Capcom a Tribulation in itself

Completed Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations yet? Great! Then spare a thought for the poor saps who preordered the title online through Capcom, and who are still waiting on their copies, despite the game being released over a month ago.Infendo reader Andrew flagged up the problem yesterday, and it appears he's only one of many on Capcom's official message board who have been prevented from getting their law on. In fact, we can totally understand the grumpiness in this thread, especially as it took a whole month of customers ranting just to get a faintly apologetic response from a Capcom representative. Now, Capcom has chosen to appease the baying mob with -- can you guess? -- yes! A 10% off coupon for its online store! You just couldn't write it any better.
Capcom has since told Andrew his game has shipped, though there's still no word on the awesome Phoenix Wright plush that was being dangled in front of those who preordered the game. Objection indeed, Capcom.

Time to take the law into one's own hands... :)

A pal of mine also ordered it from Capcom, and has yet to get the game (or the plush).
I'm glad I got it from GameStop...

Hooray, a ten percent off coupon so they can get Apollo Justice a month after everyone else too.

Aw, now I feel bad for just making fun of them with "Waiting for Godot" jokes. And the fact that I got mine, and the plush, on the day it came out.
Boy, I can't help but feel like... well, like all their waiting is just a pointless, endless experiment in futility. Their waiting. For Godot. *snicker*

I am the Infendo reader Andrew mentioned here. Just thought I'd mention that that 10% coupon doesn't work.

Don't forget that it wouldn't even cover the exorbitant (domestic, lowest) shipping on even a $50 purchase.

Here's another thing about the discount:
"The coupon code can be used only once per customer and will be in effect from November 1st through November 30th, 2007."
I guess I'm too late.

Yeah, still waiting.
Wish I had the damn money to just go and buy a second copy, but they already charged my credit card.
