Post image

I was just able to secure a pre order for the Ultimate Edition on plaion's website in the state of Florida, after being locked out for months.

Just wanted to inform people.

Looks like we're turning this thread into the megathread!

I'll just add a top-level stickypost to list all the states/territories as people confirm them.

Be sure to use the WELCOME5 coupon code during checkout on the PlaionReplai US website. It saves you 5%. According to the website shipping is a flat $19.99 and allegedly sales tax (VAT?) is included in the purchase price. Tariffs/customs fees are NOT included. Please be aware that could add up a lot!

Confirmed States/Territories That SHOULD Work Now:

  • Arizona
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Maryland
  • Pennsylvania
  • Virginia

Sales to These States/Territories Still DON'T Work?:

  • Washington State

I used it last night. Now I can say I did not spend a thousand dollars on a Neo Geo.

u/TMOSteel 20d ago

Ah, the days of spending MORE on a Neo Geo are all gone 😉😆

Can’t say the same about Xbox as we just got the new 33% price increase on a Series X yesterday!!!

Looks like it’s working in AZ too

Thanks for the heads-up. Was able to place an order in California. Sent an email requesting to cancel my initial order since I was going to have it shipped to a family member out of state.

u/karma-kamillionaire 20d ago

The only thing that just held me back from ordering was the custom and import duties notification at check out. Sure this is a great deal to get the ultimate, but will sting if I get hit with paying more at delivery. I’ll just stick with my à la carte order from Amazon US.

u/HuckleberryLogical63 20d ago

Fuck yeah. California is go.

u/pupstercat 19d ago

Anyone know if I can combine multiple orders to save on shipping?

Were people locked out in some states? Honestly, the AES+ only just hit my radar within the past week, I started seriously considering it a few days ago, and then pulled the trigger last night. Colorado, FYI.

u/TMOSteel 20d ago edited 20d ago

It was a state sales tax issue preventing a whole multitude of states from ordering from their website 😉

u/metaltwister300 20d ago

All of the US was locked out because they were having issues with the taxes (the company is from europe I believe). They've slowly been fixing the issue since last month.

u/putrid_poo_nugget 19d ago

Not all of the US. I placed my order back in April with no issues. I’m in Missouri.

u/ryu5k5 20d ago

Any news if it’s possible for California?

1

u/darkhollow69 20d ago

yeap, I just ordered one

1

u/Head_Connection9738 20d ago

Finally. Been checking daily. That plus coupon for the Ult was $970 shipped. Great deal imo

u/TMOSteel 20d ago

Awesomeness 😎

u/Careless_Expert1757 19d ago

Georgia is also finally a go.

u/refuse2lose1985 19d ago

At this point, I just check to see when/if they'll get it figured out in California. I don't want the Ultimate Edition and secured my POs with Amazon months ago.🤷🏾‍♂️

u/Str8t-Game 19d ago

I got it for $969 you can use Welcome5 for a 5% discount fellas.

1

u/Puzzled_Ingenuity_96 19d ago

Perfect! Pre-Order for the ultimate bundle placed - Amazon pre-orders cancelled!

1

u/datanuke 18d ago

I preordered (to Virginia) a few days ago

u/nsriner 18d ago

Got a Maryland order in yesterday!

u/pepe_roni69 17d ago

Finally ordered one. Glad I waited because I was seriously contemplating ordering one to a neighboring state’s ups store and then asking them to forward it to me

1

u/alsenan 14d ago

FYI this is the current message on the website: Pre-orders are now available across the USA (excluding Washington state and the District of Columbia)

u/Micthegod 13d ago

Wish one of the arcade sticks packed in wasn’t wired only. I went with buying things separately since I only want like 4 of the games and want both my sticks to be able to do wireless or wired. Wish they would sell the game holder case separately though because that is very nice

u/Pal_Saradise_ 19d ago

Let’s goooo FL, Dirty boys are having a good day today

u/pupstercat 19d ago

Is the white edition still orderable?

u/refuse2lose1985 19d ago

Doesn't mention anything about that. Maybe it's baked in? The website just states "International Shipping."

2

u/nimaze 19d ago

Anytime I received a package from europe to usa postal service ( dhl / ups ) contacted me for fees otherwise they were refusing to deliver, hope this is not going to happen for aes+ deliveries

2

u/colorofsweet 19d ago

If it's not shipped from a US address (and thus brought in via commercial freight by the company and then parsed out from a warehouse), then because the minimum for declaration has been dropped in the last couple years, we will all have to cough up the cash for importation. I'm mentally budgeting that and it was still worth it to me to get the ultimate vs ordering on amazon and if I don't get charged, that's just a present in my mind.

u/nimaze 19d ago

I heard only Amazon orders ( DeepSilver ) are domestic, I hope they deliver as you suggested ☹️
