GameStop has begun to cancel preorders for the limited edition Kingdom Hearts 3 PlayStation 4 Pro, just ahead of the game’s release.
In a post on Twitter (which can be seen below), the retailer said it oversold the console and, as a result, some of the preorders are being canceled. The post went on to say those with their preorders canceled will receive a $25 gift certificate.
Although the number of preorders being canceled has not been revealed, IGN has reached out to GameStop asking for additional details about when the issue arose.
With the nearly 20 year wait for Kingdom Hearts 3 almost over, many fans are upset to receive $25 in store credit instead of a limited edition console, and some users are venting their frustration on Twitter.
Twitter user @Axeldobie said, “@gamestop just cancelled my Kingdom Hearts ps4 pro preorder. I preordered it within 15 minutes of it going on sale on the website. If mine got cancelled, how many others were cancelled as well? This is ridiculous.”
Twitter user @doubutsunocorey said, “Wow, seriously, @GameStop? Canceling my Kingdom Hearts III PS4 Pro just days ahead of launch is a pretty low blow. The $25 coupon was a bit of a slap in the face, all things considered.”
