I just went upto my local Gamestop. They claimed they did not receive shipment of the Championship Edition pre orders. There were guys trying to pick up their pre orders also pretty ticked about this. If they don't have it tomorrow I will be getting my refund.

Happened to me but my store contacted me this afternoon to let me know. I jumped online and snagged one there. Likely won’t get it until Monday now.

Re: GameStop canceled my NBA 2K23 preorder the night before release

Per r/Gamestop a lot of stores didn’t receive all their allocations for pre orders plus didn’t get extras for walk ins. They claimed this is due to a Gamestop store breaking street date with 2K22 so 2K held back copies. Whats weird is why would 2K make the Championship edition exclusive to Gamestop then turn around and cut supply to them. My local Gamestop only got PS5 and PS4 copies. No Xbox copies came in.

Well at this point I rather Gamestop refund me back my full amount for the Championship edition and buy the regular edition somewhere else then.

Re: GameStop canceled my NBA 2K23 preorder the night before release

Well, it makes sense why mine got shipped on the 8th and won't arrive until Monday.

I'm not understanding why 2K/Take - Two made the Championship Edition a GameStop exclusive if issues arose with 2K22. Lame all around.

I might even wait till there's a price reduction around the holidays at this point. I wanted to support them even more after learning of the eras modes, but this is inexcusable. GameStop promised to mail me new gift cards to replace what I used for this big purchase.

After I get those (assuming they don't fudge that up), this is the last time I'm making a purchase from GameStop.
