My condolences to those of you that have to wait even longer now ;_;
EDIT: However, It is within your best interests not to run screaming to your local import shop. When GS3-DS was released in Japan, it was extremely apparent that the localization was not all that it could've been. We now have reports from 'RadioShadow' that the American release of 'Trials and Tribulations' does indeed have grammatical errors corrected. To what extent, we don't know. Personally, I'm potentially disappointed, we may never know if 'the miracle never happen'. -Wooster
EDIT 2: According to Nef, who spoke with Capcom's customer service, those of you preordered through the Capcom store will still get the preorder plushie, and it will be shipped within 1 to 2 weeks.

Nef is saaaad. ;_;
OK, no point in calling Capcom, you just get transferred back to Digital River.
OK, finally got through to Digital River, was given a phone number that doesn't work and an email address. Sent an email, hoping for a reply.

I am one of those affected by the backorder, and since it seems poor Nef is playing the telephone shuffle with Digital River...
I thought I might be able to help.
What I have here is a professional letter of complaint, crafted by one of my friends whose job description includes creating complaint letters to big companies who can't seem to get their stuff straight.

It's just sad that we have to object over something like this.

If this happens again for GS4, THEN lets throw out the letters immediately. This was probably just a miscalculation, someone didn't realize HOW big this release was going to be, though they should've taken the hint it would be even crazier after the game was delayed yet again X_X It should be common sense that the pre-orders for this game were going to be insane, more so then the demand for just the game in store stock after filling the pre-orders. Obviously there are way more pre-orders then what they expected, which is why a PRE-ORDER CUT OFF DATE would've done wonders. If the cut the pre-orders off atleast a couple of weeks ago they would've known just how many games to ship to atleast fill pre-orders the first week, then ship the stock out the next week if the demand was this crazy.
This was an irresponsible error on the distribution's part, and hopefully it won't happen again.

Neat.
Might have to do that...In other news, my Daddy who is awesome has forwarded my (very polite) complaint and questions e-mail to Hiroshi Tobisawa, President of Capcom USA. We'll see how that pans out. :D
Also @ Arei, if the problem was not enough games for preorders (yet still some) I would think that Capcom would ship them out in order of who ordered first. And yet I know of at least one person who ordered in August who got the Backorder notice

Don't take my word 101%, I'm not in that business, but it WOULD be impossible to hand out pre-orders first come first serve to ALL of the people in the US that pre-ordered T&T. One Gamestop store in town may choose to have kept tabs on who ordered what and when, and give them out according to their list, but not ALL of them will do that and from dealing with lazyass workers at gamestop in the past, I seriously doubt most did that.

I don't think it's worth it to start sending in complain notices yet, at least until we hear from Capcom about how they're addressing the issue. If it's going to be weeks or even months before the preorders ship...well, that is certainly reason to pitch a stink.

Well I just went to my Gamestop. It's in. But they haven't sifted through all the boxes. Some boxes were in the front but there were others in the back that had yet to be opened. I have to wait, for yet, another phone call once they find it. *sighs* This is frustrating, especially when they said they had it out and ready anytime.
Thanks Elriel for the wonderful Edgey siggy and the beautiful Phoenix/Edgeworth avy!

However.
The clerk didn't seem to know anything about the plushie that was supposed to come with the preorders... I may have to bug them again about that, seeing as how I preordered and... got no plushie.

Went to the store with my hair over my right eye. When I got in the line, I brought out my cell phone. JUST before I was to be served, I called the department I was at. Conversation went as follows:
"Hello, Wal-Mart electronics department!"
"Hey there, Miss Wal-Mart dude! You have the game yet?"
I spoke just loud enough for them to hear me, then we both hung up.
I told them I was the one constantly calling them, and they said "Aww, no more calls then?" I replied "Not until the next one comes in. Sorry Ms. Wal-Mart dude!"
While leaving, at a street crosswalk, I saw something on the ground: A loonie, tails-up! (loon on that side, and according to my old teacher, tails-up is unlucky... hmmmm......)
Near the loonie, at another cross-walk, I found a dice just after crossing, on a grassy area nearby. I looked at it. It was red, and all six sides were "5".
Spoiler: T&T
Got home, decided to tell this strange series of events on the forums... And now, as HHH says...
Time to play the game!
Btw, this is being typed on my Nintendo Wii... taking forever. lol

Then there's this. Capped by me from the Capcom Online Store at 3PM EST Weds. Oct. 24th.
And Gigafreak, sorry to hear that. That's another reason why I thought it would be better to go through Capcom. *grumbles*

The plushies were sent a little less than a week before the game. If the store is on top of things, they should have a little "Pre-Order Bonus" Drawer (we call it the S.W.A.G. drawer at my store) with everything in it, e.g. the Naruto wristbands that go out with the Rise of the Ninja game that's coming out (or came out?). If I recall, the plushies arrived at the same time as those wristbands and Crysis demos. They SHOULD have the plushies there as they came way BEFORE the game. However, the plushie itself may not be worth the trip back to the store as the craft of it is rather.... lacking. I posted a picture on the GS3 preorder goodie thread but here it is again.

I just got off the phone with customer service, and the guy said we WOULD be getting the plushies (yay) and that hopefully the games would be in our hands within 1-2 weeks (boo). Certainly not ideal, but it makes me feel better than I felt this morning.

Yeah, I just got mine. I ordered it through the GameStop store with overnight shipping. I had no issues with it at all, I ordered it almost exactly a month ago.
It's a pretty lame bonus :/ Well, it's free, I can't really complain.

They didn't give me the plushie. I had to ask for it, and the guy had to sift through a few drawers to find it.
It's on my key chain as we speak. Terrible quality yes, but he's still so darned cute!

Damn... I went at my local EBgames this morning and the guy said the same thing, that they would receive it in a week or so...and YES I pre-ordered it, and about 2 months ago so... I dunno if living the french part of Canada has anything to do with the delay but if Capcom says so, I'll try to trust'em.
I swear tht if the game was in one of the 4 large boxes near the counter, I'll hit the guy with my Objection! cardboard sign!
It still sucks though...a LOT

Didn't have any trouble picking it up, really - just walked in, said "hey, do you have Phoenix Wright 3?", got a "yeah", bought it, then played a Guitar Hero III demo kiosk for a bit before leaving.

At least the USA are getting a pre order bonus. I'll bet the UK version will have no pre-order bonus, cost twice as much and we have to wait fucking ages!
Can't really complain, I have my JPN copy!

There appears to be some miscommunication between our sales department (Who gets our games out to the various retailers) and Digital River (who fulfills the orders with customers). The game is not actually back-ordered... Digital River just hasn't received enough copies from us to ship them out to everybody.
We're working as fast as possible to make sure Digital River gets all the copies they need and is able to fulfill everyone's order. I apologize for the delay you are experiencing, and definitely know how you guys feel about not getting the game.
On the bright side, everyone will get their plushy, and as a matter of fact, some should have already received theirs, as Digital River does have those in stock, and have told us that they have shipped some of the plushies (despite not having the actual games to ship).

.Hmm.. so, how to say, I just came back from work and what do I find? EB called because the game arrived!... Only in the afternoon, hence why it wasn't there in the morning... But It's 9pm so I'll have to wait until tomorrow... Still, it's good to know I won't have to wait another week
