There must be more than a few people who have ordered it for $49 (i think).

Has anyone received it yet, or in fact has anyone had it shipped yet?

I ordered it on the 12th of December. ($49)
Had confirmation email, and several "titles you have on back order" emails since.

I emailed them on Friday to ask about possible delivery dates for this title and Super Monkey Ball (which I ordered on the 17th of november!), but am yet to hear anything back.

How much should it be, and when was the price changed? (I can't access their site at the mo')

I wasn't aware the price had changed!!

Knowing dvdboxoffice and their usual customer support. I should wonder if it never gets shipped at the reduced price.

I should expect it to be around $80.

When you said "wrong priced", I thought you meant they had said they got it wrong, and had since changed it.

The price has been $49 since it was announced, I think (hope ;)) it's just cheap.

$49 is too cheap (around £20).

I think they made a mistake and I doubt if they will ship it at that price.

Not posted for a while, but this thread caught my eye...

I received Fifa 2002 for the Gamecube sometime last week (Tuesday I think).

I didn't realise there was a mis-price on this game, just seem to remember it was cheaper ($48.95) than the other titles listed.

Admitedley DvdBoxOffice delivery times are crap, but I can confirm that Fifa 2002 will eventually reach other members who've ordered (eventually!) ;)

Is it any good? Or the same as the PS2 version?

Yutani- glad to hear you got your copy mate- still waiting on mine :mad: :confused:

When did you order your copy of the game as I ordered mine on the 6th of December or something and like the other I have been getting the "back ordered" e-mails since then

Just got this from DVDBoxoffice:


We are emailing you to inform you that we will be unable to fill your pending order for FIFA Soccer 2002 which had a selling price of $48.95CDN. The correct selling price is $80.95CDN. We realize that this is a large pricing mistake. Therefore we would like to extend a special price of $70.95CDN for the game to compensate you for our mistake. Please could you email us at consoles@dvdboxoffice.com



This means those that pre-ordered save £4 on the new, correct, price.

I posted the Fifa bargain here (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40214) so there was at least a few people who got it at the reduced price.

Surely you mean:-

When I ordered Super Monkey Ball it took over 2 months to get the invoive email, but when I did the game arrived within a week.
