There's no "lesson" against preordering here. It's a weirdo freak occurrence.

I am impressed that NISA somehow managed to introduce a bug in downloading a game.

Based on the information I've seen floating around, it sounds like this is all Sony, and almost certainly related to the discount that got misapplied.

All hail the disc

Yeah, walked in and picked up a copy today and it's currently installing. With that said, it was also apparently the only free copy they had - I didn't ask if there were any copies reserved for preorders. I'm in a fairly populous area too, so if that store only got 1 copy, it might actually be fairly hard to get a physical version of.

Yeah pretty much this. My brother is smart and ordered a physical copy, which he got this morning. The cashier at the store told him his was the only copy, and the only pre-order they got. No other store in my area bothered with such a niche game.

Trails games aren’t super popular but the fanbase that it does have are very loyal and cult like. I wonder how many copies of CSIII sold? I dont imagine anyone jumping into IV as their first trails game.

There's clearly some pseudonyms in here too, so don't take these as gospel directly. But if you want to cross-check these against the CS1/2/3 cast, there you go, might do it later myself...

Nope! The most recent update is basically that they're working on it and don't have a timeline for a fix.

6-7 hours since NISA's last update, I'm guessing it's something fairly complex involving issues with the discounted digital deluxe versions being invalid or something and NISA is trying to fix that and dealing with Sony at the same time, since the full 80$ version is apparently working.

I tried it and it denies me after it asks how long ago the purchase was made. I assume because it has been more than 14 days since I paid for it and the policy says you can't do it after 14.

I'd try entering less than 14 days just so it puts you through to a live person and see if they'll just refund you due to the situation. From what I'm seeing on Reddit they're just giving out refunds now without much hassle and if you re-purchase it the game works fine and downloads. I guess this doesn't help you if you had paid the $60 for the deluxe edition since it's $80 now, but I had purchased the $80 so it didn't really matter for me.

Up until I learned that the included DLC was 25$ I was fine with it, but once I realized I was paying 35$ extra rather than 15$ in addition to these issues, I decided I'd rather get a refund, but that failed.

Forget the opening movie, it takes literally hours to get out of the mostly cutscene prologue. So while we'll certainly be ahead, how much we'll actually be playing before the issues get fixed and digital orders gets access is another matter.
