PAYPAL SUPPORT FOR SHENMUE 3! PRE-ORDER FOR PS4/PC!

[Spaghetti]

I was expecting a serious drop after the mess over the last few days. Weirdly surprised that thousands per day are still being pulled in, and increasing in number too.

I guess there might be something in the saying "any publicity is good publicity", right?

Same thought.

Perhaps the figures are also a bit outdated as they have to wait the approval from the banks to valid the money since you can directly link your credit card or bank account with your paypal account.

Also possibly that the initial PayPal time frame ran right up to the most expensive time of the year (Christmas). Now we have a few dead months where people may have some spare cash etc. I've said it before, this extension is nothing but a good thing. The longer it stays open, the better. Especially around big events like Monaco Magic and E3. You can slip in a little "please visit our Paypal" and that would also bring in extra numbers.

If anyone's interested, there's an unofficial poll in the Shenmue 500K Facebook group seeking to gather suggestions for new PayPal backer rewards. Stats will be fed back to the team:

I pledge just now for the $60 PS4 physical copy. Do I have to contact my bank for the transaction?

No you shouldn't have to. As long as the PayPal transaction was completed successfully, you should be fine.

It completed successfully. I really hope they can give us the option to upgrade our kickstarter pledge I wanted the $250 reward but at the end I got the $175 because I didnt have enough money.

If the PayPal is still going by then and we're still not given the option to upgrade our KickStarter pledges, what do you guys think about another round of $30 on the 3rd for the 3rd of March? Thought it'd be a good time as hopefully we'll have some new images or a trailer for the cause after Magic Monaco and it's far enough away that most people will be able to save up for.

EDIT: It's also the 3rd of the 3rd month, just realised

I know how you feel. I really wanted the printed artbook but only had enough to justify backing the $120 tier. Now that it's been a while since the KS, I have the funds to upgrade so hopefully they'll let us do that soon.

All things considered, still going fairly strong. Weird.

Could it be that the controversy over PayPal rewards draw attention of unaware people on the Slacker Backer campaign?

It appears its still going. Damn I was to late. I would like to pledge, but you only get the PS4 Version. I dont have a PS4. Why was the PC version removed? You could still pledge for it during the kickstarter: "A digital copy of Shenmue 3 for PC or PS4"

Now you only get this option: "A digital copy of Shenmue 3 for PS4"

Just hang tight dude, they did say they would eventually re-add PC as far as I know.
