Spook Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I just noticed the comment on the BF site front page about the CMBB Windows version now being backordered. It brought back memories on how CMBO sold out so quickly than per BF's expectations that it resulted in a scramble to get another batch produced. I surmise that BF had a larger initial batch of CMBB made up before putting it on market. Even so, the Windoze version still has sold out. GREAT news. I'm glad to see that Battlefront is doing that well on the wargamer market again, in sales volume.

Redwolf Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 And that even though it flooded into CompUSA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I believe they've already gone through at least one previous lot of backorders with CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agua Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I don't recall any news or announcement either, only that a few weeks after the initial lot was available for purchase, people began experiencing backordes. Now that I think about it, though, that may have been related, in part, to the problem with some improperly manufactured CDs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 So, you get perfect service from all of your favorite retail vendors? Remember who you are dealing with. If BFC was like other firms in this business, they would sell crap and the shelves would have as much of it as you like, all nicely marked down because no one else bought it. It's called supply and demand, remember? I can understand your impatience, but testy words will not improve the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juardis Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 And here I thought you were going to say that they backordered the game before it was even finished :lol hint: the date is 1/17/02 that it was backordered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Sounds to me like Christmans has been very very good to the folks at BFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Is it possible that they may be waiting for the finalized v1.02 patch to be fully tested before sending the next run off for duplication? I'm guessing that we might see the release of the v1.02 patch within the next two weeks so maybe the next Windows run of reproduction of the CD might include the latest patch? :confused: Just a guess.... -tom w 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clear the air, I was only teasing Battlefront, not being testy or impatient with them. The backorder means nothing to me personally, it's actually GOOD news in that CMBB has sold well enough to HAVE a backorder. Perhaps I could've worded it a bit better at first. In fact, I will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellros Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Originally posted by Agua: I believe they've already gone through at least one previous lot of backorders with CMBB.First run ran out in Late Sept, shortly after release. I had to wait a week on backorder myself back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsharr Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I placed my order for cmbb at 7:20 eastern time on the night of the 16th, my confirmation order did'nt mention anything about a backorder.Does this mean I got one of the last?I had to wait awhile to get unneeded fund's to spend on it and to have to wait longer is a bummer,I guess timing is everything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 We still had a little bit of stock for a couple of days when we placed CMBB-PC on backorder, so most likely you'll get yours next week. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
