Amazon Pre-Orders: No Release Date Delivery Option

[JazzyC]

For once it makes me glad I went with GAME. Mine copy is already sitting with the delivery company waiting to be dispatched on the 14th Dec.

[NoCry]

no for me Mr Jazzy - I got Friday's email and then spent Saturday trying to speak to someone to tell them I had a new credit card - got emailed (rather annoyingly as I was on hold with the muppets) saying my pre-order had been cancelled on Saturday night. Shocker.

Don't get me wrong, I usually hate them.  I had a similar issue with them a couple of months back when I was short of funds on my card (no joke, would have been a pound over my limit) my credit card company rejected the transaction.
They used to keep trying the card, or allow you to update the payment source.  But yeah, now they just cancel the order.  Sucks absolute arse when it's a limited edition or whatever.

Amazon Game Room says:

Hello,

Here's an update for customers who have pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic that was scheduled to be released on December 20, 2011. Because beta access ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 19, 2011, we've decided to ship the game early to customers starting December 15, 2011. We'll be updating orders over the next two days and new estimated delivery times will appear in Your Account shortly after our updates are complete. These changes will be applied to your account automatically and there is no action needed on your part. Please see below for an update to estimated delivery times based on shipment method.

New Estimated Delivery Times for the Contiguous US:

* Release Date Delivery - on or before 12/19/2011
* One-Day Delivery - on or before 12/19/2011
* Two-Day Delivery - on or before 12/19/2011
* Standard Shipping - on or before 12/24/2011
* Super Saver Shipping - on or before 12/24/2011

Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and international addresses will also ship earlier than originally planned.

Once we've finished updating the orders, you'll be able to find your updated Estimated Delivery Time under "Your Orders" in Your Account:

http://www.amazon.com/your-account

Since extremely limited quantities of the Collector's Edition are available, we recommend not canceling an order for this edition unless you do not intend to order it again. Please note that customers who cancel and attempt to re-order the Collector's Edition may lose their place in line.

Please note that official game access is scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. on December 20, 2011. BioWare will be bringing down all servers for a short period of time before the launch of the game. You will be contacted in-game with details on this planned outage and when you can expect all servers to be back online.

We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the game.
