Update 2/23/2023: PS4 listing is erroring out. Appears to have been delisted on Play-Asia's site. However, orders that were placed should still have it queued to those orders. Will keep an eye on it for further updates. Switch version is still available.
Update 2/23/2023 (Part 2): Per the Switch listing, it appears that there may be more than one printing of the game, depending on when you ordered it. This means that PS4 copies may still be fulfilled for those currently placed, but whether the PS4 listing opens up again later remains to be seen. Here is what is on the Switch Description:
IMPORTANT: The day 1 print quantity of this game is limited. All orders will be fulfilled but those placed after February 22nd 2023 will be fulfilled from the second print of the game.
Update 2/25/2023: Switch version still available, but the price has increased to $79.99 now.
Update 2/27/2023: Reporting deal as expired. Adding an additional comment in thread at end for context.
For any folks who missed their chance in getting Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Collection pre-ordered with Square Enix through their online store, you now have another opportunity through a different, albeit legitimate reseller.
The game is priced $74.99 for Playstation 4 or Switch version, due for release at end of April.
Shipping for game will vary in cost for Economy speed shipping - However, for orders at $100 or over, it discounts to free Economy shipping.
Item is NOT guaranteed for day-of-release, but will be delivered soon after.

Question: This isn't a discount. Are there any discounts?
Answer: Yes. There is one coupon code available that will help discount a small percentage off of the order. GEMATSU23 will discount the game by 5% off currently. Credit for the code's promotion goes to Gematsu via Twitter post:
https://twitter.com/gematsu/statu...5302065152 . Otherwise, there is no other discount available. This is more an 'availability' post for those who want the physical (not digital) edition of the games.
Question: Will I be able to get this game any other way?
Answer: If you want, you can also wait for the digital edition of the games to release for the same $74.99 price tag. But if you want a physical copy, this is currently the best way to get one and NOT pay an exorbitant price tag via scalpers.
Question: This isn't the official US release, is it?
Answer: No, it is an Asia-English copy. Some games sold by Play-Asia are Asia region in terms of release, but they have English text available for playing the game. You will be able to get the game, and play it in English text.
Question: Is the game compatible with my PS4, PS5 or Switch?
Answer: Yes! They work with all PS4, PS5 and Switch consoles sold worldwide! Since this game will not have any DLC coupled with it, you won't have to worry about making a region-specific account to get DLC for it.
Question: What if there's updates/patches available?
Answer: They will still download to your installed copy from online if there is one available. That doesn't seem to be restricted by your console's region.

Square has been pushing the digital footprint harder over physical with each year. The physical printing was touted as a limited-run idea, which is why it ended so quickly. But not everyone favors digital. I do it myself if the discount is deep, but I try to go physical where possible.
And the good thing about the Pixel Remaster Collection on physical is that you can always sell it off later.

PS4 copies are all cancelled for this game. Square Enix confirmed it will NOT be printed on PS4 physically. As a result, all orders are having the PS4 edition cancelled. Refer to your emails for Play-Asia for updates.
Nintendo Switch copies are still go, but the game is selling for $79.99 currently, and only those who pre-ordered on or before 2/22 will be in the first shipment. All orders post-2/22 will be the second shipment.
Deal is now being reported as expired, and this comment is being left here to ensure awareness.
Edit: says estimated ship date 5/27. Going to be a while still.
Just reached out to their customer service. Anyone have any experience with getting replacements from them? Really hoping I didn't just throw away close to 90.00 on a game that is lost in the mail.

I get that the delivery portion is out of their control, but they do not offer any insured delivery option or other shipping methods. So at the end of the day the consumer gets screwed if something happens.
Definitely won't be buying from them again and guessing the only option is to try to file a dispute with my credit card.
Hope others had better luck!
