Shortly after the great Nintendo Direct focused on Xenoblade Chronoicles 3Nintendo announced that it would reopen the pre-sale period for the special edition of the game, which would be exclusive to the company’s official online store.
Well, as I had warned, on June 30 the option to set aside this coveted collector’s edition was again available, but there was a huge problem for many users, who angrily blamed the online store, since it was not the first time that occurs.

Fans criticized Nintendo for exclusive pre-orders in its store
The first time this edition was put up for pre-sale was on June 8. Unfortunately, the experience was chaotic due to traffic and store inefficiency to the point that Nintendo postponed pre-orders. Well, the second day arrived and fans were hoping that this time it would be better, only to be disappointed again.
According to a lot of affected users, it was impossible to get the online store to work, as the page would not load and prevented them from adding or paying for the product in question in their shopping cart.
Others mentioned that it was incredible that the edition sold out so quickly and criticized that Nintendo did not do much to improve the experience, since the same thing happened as last time. According to many, the only thing the company did was limit the number of units available to set aside per user from 2 to 1.
Xenoblade 3 Special edition is genuinely the worst purchasing experience I have ever witnessed. Apparently they’re all gone and I’m *still* looking at this same page with the same, nonloading stars. Absolutely deplorable job, Nintendo. pic.twitter.com/DIryW3cbaz

Any normal company: “Wow that Xenoblade 3 Special Edition crashed our site. Guess we should make some changes to how you order it so everyone manages to get one”
Nintendo: “Let’s just do the exact same thing again except now you can only buy one” ??? pic.twitter.com/hVutKy2zU3

The worst thing is that many will no longer have the opportunity to buy this edition, which is already appearing on resale sites at outrageous prices. First, you should know that the bundle was officially being sold for $89.99 USD on the Nintendo Store, but on sites like eBay it is not offered below $200 USD or $4,000 MXN and some ask for up to more than $350 USD or $7,000 MXN (not counting shipping or import costs).
The problem is that this is not the first time this has happened and that Nintendo products are involved. The company is well known for using very narrow sales practices when it comes to special editions that leave many users unhappy and from which hoarders or resellers benefit.
