If you were them:

People makin pre-orders,complaining they can't pay because of the credit card is not up to date.
They have no credit on it.
Complaining because there release date has slowed down and suddenly they get 2/3 bust at once.
People don't like the result and wanna ship it back.
People are complaining about a small failure (and I mean real tiny)
Distrubution to the world,retailers.
I think you need a good team to make sure this finaly end on the right place with saddisfied custumors.
And also the fact that online sales like ebay more and more ask tax to pay upfront for import.

For me,international shippin and custom duty is still cheaper than the retailer price in euro's.
Cause over here they make the dollar price exactly over to euro. So $80 becomes 80€.
Thats almost twice the dollar value
So when I have to pay shippin and a fine.
I still have the same retailer price.
I even sometimes get lucky slippin through custom duty.
And I have it on time.
Retailers...you can wait up to half a year or more after release.

Why should they???
Didn't someone learned you you gotta have money when you buy?
Or you gotta save it bit by bit,and you have time enough for that before it's get releashed.

And when you take a flex pay,in the end you payed even more!!!
Nobody provides money without makin provit on it.

Seems you have money issues.
It's not white noise,it's true.
In our country people get aware of these commercials not to loan money.
People just keep on bying without credits.
I think that is a bad thing.
Why else would you need a flex payment.
Can't you keep control on your cash!!

I've no money issues. Thanks for your concern though.

Paying in instalments is nothing new. It has worked for Sideshow for years. They charge NRDs which helps reduce spontaneous purchases. People buy cars , houses and other big ticket items in installments.

Flexi-pay is not buying with credit. You are paying in installments over a period of time and only receive item when fully paid for. It would be different if SS or GG sent the item out before you having fully paid for it, that would be credit.

I never expierienced such a thing.
But it seems a good thing then.
Sorry for my fast conclusion.
And maybe my bad english on expression.
If I don't know to write down the whright word I always try something simulair.
That can maybe be hurting.

No worries Wise Yoda. I absolutely understand what your saying about people and living beyond their means.

I just feel that the flexi payment method helps collectors keep their finances in check.
