I am in Austin, Texas and just received a tracking # from Amazon for my standard edition GT5. I will be receiving it tomorrow due to release date delivery with my free trial Prime membership. 👍

I'm in Austin as well and I expect to pick my game up either on lunch or after work, if Gamestop doesn't sell to me I will not be a happy camper.
 
It seems mine has been dispatched :D - after over 10 hours of 'dispatching soon' just have to hope that tracking works, as the estimate is the 27th :(. Still, my Black Ops was dispatched the day before with a similar prediction and that arrived on release, so their is plenty of hope yet!!

Ok so the money left my account, the staus changed to dispatching soon.... at 9.30 this morning. It's 19.15 now and it STILL hasn't changed!!! What the hell????

Hey Mate, same thing for me, but it changed around 6 pm gmt+1, and in my UPS tracking number it is already on the way out of UK, it was scanned for transit 12:05 so i quess it is amazon who is slow ;)
 
Amazon US just sent me my tracking information for my CE....Yeah..its only a couple of states away so I should get it tomorrow...See you guys and gurls online soon....

It's gonna say that until sometime tonight.


Don't worry, it's still coming tomorrow




How often do you guys order online?

Every so often, but I've never done release day delivery. The only reason I did Amazon on this one is because Gamestops around here weren't doing midnight release.
 
Does UPS ship to residents on Black Friday? I'm hoping if they somehow missed tomorrow that I'll at least get it on Black Friday and not have to wait until next Monday.
 
My GameStop online CE order still says "Verifying". They've charged my card, so hopefully I have a tracking number soon. No big deal, I'll be playing it tonight anyway. :D

Yes, but because of Thanksgiving I would assume shipping may get pushed back a day. So if you had something scheduled to be delivered on Friday, it might not show up until Monday.

Game.co.uk

Id be interested to hear if anyone else who ordered from there has their copy yet. I ordered about 2 days after the SE went on their site and chose the premium delivery.

Somebody said that the standard deliveries often come sooner than the 'Guaranteed delivery by release day' orders that you pay for.Surely this cant be true.

Edit: They also said in a recent email that by choosing special delivery, I had ensured that I would be one of the first to be playing it. Yeah right.

Im working anyway so its no biggie. I really expected it today though. I offered the woman behind the desk in ASDA £80 then £100 to let me have one. She wouldn't. What the hell? Take my money and go work for Tesco. Im glad she refused now though, I think Im gonna make it.

The Dutch retailer where I pre-ordered my copy a few days ago just informed me a few hours ago the game was packaged (?) and will be send to my adress in about half an hour from now (21:30 in The Netherlands) so I expect it to arrive somewhere tomorrow (can track it but it also depends on the postman schedule I guess, so somewhere in the afternoon I reckon).
I'm very happy right now.:D

Standard orders have been sent by Royal Mail and, because companies can't be certain that Royal Mail will deliver the next day, they send it early.

The Signature editions require courier because they are larger parcels and therefore have been sent by parcel force who can guarantee delivery on release day.
 
Yups, ordered from GAME as like you guys, it is at the 'National Hub' now.

Early night today then. Then no sleep from tomorrow....
 
Mine must arrive tomorrow. Luckily there'll be someone to collect my CE when the postie arrives!

Might I ask if your dispatch status is still "Dispatching Soon"?

Mine has been at this stage since early this morning and now at 8.30pm GMT its getting to be a bit of a joke :indiff::crazy::nervous:.
 
Arrive home from work to find a package. You all know what it is going to be - GT5!! I pre-ordered from ASDA.

Got the patch installed, then waited 40 mins for game to install.

Not played much yet (got tomorrow off work to do that), but has a little go on Course Maker, which I think is pretty cool. A demo car is the BMW M3 which sounds good. Need to practice holding the slides with my DFGT.

I see what people have been saying with shadows. I tried Arcade mode - 207 GTi on Languna(?) Seca. On the replay there were some strange shadows.

The intro was interesting if a bit strange.

Here is hoping for more tracks. 👍 :)

SE ordered form amazon.co.uk not even dispatched or processed yet. So annoyed. I booked tomorrow off aswell. If it dont turn up i will have to get it from tesco and sell once the SE version arrives.

Unless you guys/girls meant the Collectors Edition (CE), then as far as I'm aware the Signature Edition (SE) is exclusive to Game and its sister company Gamestation in the UK. Either that or you are lying. :sly:

Edit: Forgot to mention about Game and Gamestation midnight openings and the chance to get the Signature edition for the price of the standard edition. I wish I never pre-ordered now as I would have been able to pick up a copy at midnight. At least I got a saving of £5.20 cashback from quidco and I cost Game more money on the Parcelforce Express 24 delivery service. :)

Coolicus: Nope, mine despatched on Sunday, but hasn't arrived yet. Not sure when your copy will arrive then.
