The Plot Thickens :nervous:

Just Spoke to my Local Game Store

They Have GT5 in Stock (under lock and key though) and are waiting to Put it on the Shelves for Weds at 9am

Now then here's where it goes a bit screwy , it seems if you Pre-Order on the www from Game and Ask for it to be Delivered to the Store for Collection the www pre-orders are posted to the Store you choose :nervous:

If it doesn't turn up on the Release Day they won't give you a Copy from there Stock 👎 as they say it is a different Price :grumpy:

So if the The Game they Post to the Store is Delayed by the Post Office your in Trouble

How stupid is that :ill:
 
My Signature Edition got sent yesterday, just waiting for a text from my local post office that it has been delivered, im in Norway btw. I ordered from cdon.com
 
I have a SE pre-order from GAME UK

This is what it says at the moment.

Order status log

Funds will not be debited until your order is shipped.
19/11/2010 Your order is held for credit checking.
19/11/2010 Your order is waiting for authorisation and release for fulfilment.
13/10/2010 Your order is currently held as a Preorder

Status is 'Pending'

So yeah, it is despatched, but not to me:dopey: To wherever the holding depot is.

I guess the clue is to check my bank account to see when the money is taken XD

I know because I looked on the website on the GT5 page.💡

Shame Play typically take 3 working days to deliver though... (at least, that's my experience).

That they may be but I'm hoping that since they got the rights to sell the collectors edition alongside amazon that they'll want to make this release as seamless as possible.

Otherwise their commercial relationship with sony could be damaged. It's a big release for them and us.
 
I've ordered a fair bit if stuff from shopto over the last few years. This last year or so they start processing orders earlier (to get your card transcation process so they get the cash) but the item sits waiting to be shipped.

If shopto process orders today, I reckon you'll get charged and then the item will sit waiting for the dispatch step until Monday morning. Assuming your postie is OK you'll get it Tuesday which is still a day early....

Of course, I hope that I get mine from them this weekend but assuming this goes like Friday releases that is highly unlikely.

EDIT: Which reminds me TheHut and Zavvi are basically the same company. They sometimes have good prices but they're not a fast shipper in my experience. Most recently Football Manager 11 was delivered to me from The Hut on the Wednesday (or was it Tuesday - not sure now) after the Friday release day - that time I didn't get shipping notification until the Monday.

That's definitely the case with regular Friday releases, I've had around 25-30 games arrive before release from them. Worldwide releases like this one might be different, if they've been told they're not allowed to ship it early then you'll get it on the 24th.
 
as long as it gets to us on 25th i don't think Sony will give a toss. Perhaps they are doing all this stuff now because they know they are really slow at delivering :guilty:

nope, staying positive :sly:👍 waiting for dispatched before close of play today to get the weekend off to a good start

They are the only company responsible for selling the codex edition of AC:B in GB so I wouldn't get your hopes up ;)

I would never have used them if I had the choice as I have never had anything but bother with them.
 
Almost there! Yesterday my Play.com order said 'pre-order'. This morning it said 'ordered' and now it says 'packing'.

I think I'll wait patiently at my door for the postman and give him a cake when he arrives
