Amazon.co.uk shipped mine this morning, Royal Mail 1st class, so there's an outside chance I may get it tomorrow.

And I'd like to take this chance to appologise to you all, I'm the guy who pre-ordered it, the day Sony announced the delay !

You should get it tomorrow.

I preordered it from Amazon on the same day as you - first class as well - I have heard nothing. :(

I am going to try and not check my order status again until this time tomorrow - as its driving me crazy.
 
Just received an e-mail from amazon. My heart jumped a little before I realised it was a confirmation for a wii I just ordered for my gf :(
 
What type of delivery is that I'm due too get mine tommorow (however noone is in in the morning so i might not actually get it) and I ordered it next day delivery for a pound extra.


Edit: I live in Surrey.

i choose standard 1st class so should be here tomorrow if they posted it before last post... i have ordered stuff from shopto before and have always received the games the next day so no reason this should be any different:scared:
 
Gosh, lots of people in here getting upset about a one day delay in shipping. Mine may come tomorrow. I might not even have time to play it until about next Thursday.

Such are the demands of life...
Exactley, if mine isn't here tomorrow I'll watch the Champions league instead, if it's not here on Weds then no problem again it's United v Rangers.
 
I AM SICK TO DEATH OF ALL YOU RATIONAL PEOPLE I DEMAND TO GET GT5 NOW - 2 DAYS BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE!!! I shall sulk until it arrives.

(Please dont ban me).
 
I've ordered the ps3 slim 320g with CE GT5 pack from amazon last month , but according to ''shopto'' this particular bundle doesn't get released till friday two days after launch. boooo
 
This thread is just comedy. Writing snotty letters to a retailer complaining that a computer game isn't late yet is just a whole new kind of lunacy. Do you really think that this is going to get you a reasonable response?

I think you're missing the point. The fact of the matter is in some cases with some retailers, people who have just ordered the game seem to have it before those who have ordered months in advance. This is evidence that some retailers aren't serving customers on a first come first serve basis - and the "snotty letters" are merely making this clear to the retailers.

No one is gonna have a legit complaint until the 25th and even then, only if they picked release date delivery.
 
im taking the 7 minute train ride into town to pick my copy up i reserved... 2 days ago at gamestop

the chick in the store said they got the game last thursday so.. i reserved a copy and said see ya Wednesday!
if all goes well i should be home again within 30 minuts
 
It makes no difference when you order, they will be processed the same, randomly. No one has ANY right to complain UNTIL the money has been debited from your account, Until such time as that happens you havent bought anything. No where have i ever seen that the first person to order a game gets it first. These things happen via computer and as someone once said to me, 'To Err is to be Human, to **** things up completly requires a computer'

Chill out and enjoy the suspense, iv had it on pre-order since June 2007 and im not climbing the walls.

I think people are perfectly entitled to complain about quality of service. Not prioritising orders in the order they came in is the equivalent of queue jumping in any real life scenario.
 
I can't believe it, my order from Amazon UK has arrived...2 days EARLY!!!

They messed up my pre-order from July, so I called them and complained. They gave me a £5 discount and it looks as though the chap I spoke to put me on the top of the pile. :sly:

Installing it right now...50 mins...want to play NOW!
You won't hear from me for a couple of weeks.

I got mine today also but did not have the 50mins of Istalling.....could Amazon have sent me the fisrt batch of GT5s that were sent out originally:dunce: Hope not. But one quick question, when at your My Home page can you select community? When I try i get (This feature is not available in this version)

Probably can't use online parts until Weds

Maybe... well i'll wait until then and we shall see. Cr. 20,000 to start off with, starting on level 0(Lv0). Best thing to do is go straight for the license tests and get as many golds as possible because the more Golds and Silvers you get the quicker you Lv gets higher. Yeah I know its a bit boring doing the license tests but its got to be done:ouch:
 
Just checked with gamestop and I won't get it till the 29th 👎 that really sucks. I'll catch up with you guys on the 29th.

I just called them about my CE pre-order, and she said it was shipping the 23rd for a release day delivery.

Edit: If I don't have a tracking number by 11pm tomorrow night, I'm going to WalMart and buying a regular copy.

As far as service goes, nobody's really supposed to ship anything out until tomorrow


but hey!

When did you order?

I also ordered in June (I think the first day Gamestop had it online) and today it says backordered. This is really uncool...

Not sure about that, considering First Class in the UK takes 1-2 days. Many websites (the ones that allow you to choose delivery options) said at the time to get release day delivery you need to order first class, so that would generally mean them dispatching on 22/11/2010 (Today).
 
I cant speak on the UK, but here in the US, for release date delivery, the game is usually shipped the day before release, then gets delivered on release date.


Anything earlier than that is luck
 
My signature edition was despatched this morning for delivery tomorrow. I only placed the order on thursday. This is the 4th copy i have preordered. The first was as soon as play.com had it advertised which was about 4 years ago. That was cancelled and then placed again 2 years ago. That order was cancelled as i then preordered it from blockbuster as i no longer have any trust at all for the postal service in the uk. All these were cancelled as soon as i had the signature edition confirmed.

Incase anyone is interested game play still have 130ish signature editions in stock and they are about £40 cheaper than everywhere else.

It's pretty standard in UK (when you order off GAME) to recieve one day before the release date. Never recieved later personally, except with consoles. Basically, I will be disapointed if I don't get it 23rd, as I fully expect to.
 
Ordered from shop.net.
Payment took on Friday, got an email saying posted today. I guess I expect it Wednesday. Would be nice if it came early though.
