+SpiceWare Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I just learned that our favorite tech demo is getting a full game next month! Even getting a matching DualSense controller!

CPUWIZ Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 It's pretty funny that Amazon and Sony didn't get into a pissing match over the name. I actually have a real Astro Bot from Amazon. LOL I MUST have the controller, been drooling over it since I first saw it. 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VR "Astro Bot Rescue Mission" game is amazing too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Still 3 more days for the pre-order of the controller, but Amazon has pre-order for the game with "bonus" going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Grrr. Unable to add anything to my cart via Safari. While I was able to log in, it now shows "Session has expired due to inactivity. Please refresh the page to continue browsing." Doing so just results in that message showing up again. I was able to add the Astro Bot controller to my cart via FireFox, but it went crazy on the Shipping screen and now no longer shows that I'm logged in. Attempting to sign in again fails so I tried Guest Checkout. Was able to enter shipping info, but am now stuck on the Payment screen because the Card Number field won't accept focus.

zzip Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 None of the preorder links seem to work for me. On the PlaystationDirect site, the pre-order page doesn't have an option to actually add it to cart that I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 After going back and forth thru the screens (Cart?, Shipping, and Payment) a number of times the Card Number field finally became enabled. Was surprised the order placed screen doesn't show what was ordered. No confirmation via email yet, been 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Just checked my order status again and it's no longer in the system. However, I was able to log in with Safari, add an Astro Bot controller to my cart, and checkout without any problems. The new order shows up under my account. So go try to place your orders again.

+SpiceWare Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 Awesome! The order on my account shows Preparing to Ship: I get notifications for my AMEX, but couldn't use that to order the controller. Just checked my Visa account and there's 2 pending transactions: Looks like they restored the Guest Order that disappeared: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Just received shipment notification for the Astro Bot controllers. Guess they're still having system issues - each notification was received twice 😜 Tracking shows that UPS has both in San Bernardino, CA. Both show estimated delivery of tomorrow, though one shows by 7pm and the other shows by noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
