What's with all these people ordering from Play.com? Places like ShopTo.net and many others have it cheaper and send it 1st class Royal Mail. And it doesn't have to come from Jersey or whatever tax haven Play uses.

Discovered ShopTo.net too late, and hoped that, having posted it last Friday, it would be here for the following Wednesday, just the 5 days. Too much for our postal system obviously, and yet they want to put the cost of postage up.
 
Just as I get worried that it might not come today (Parcelforce usually deliver around 1PM in my area), a red Parcelforce van rolls up. Finally got the game at 2.27PM, so if you are still waiting for the Signature Edition to be delivered here in UK there is still hope until 5.30PM.
 
Pre-order Stealth Cars

Agree completely! I didn't want the chance to win a driving experience or whatever ShopTo offered over the stealth cars. Also my mate and I ordered shopto/ play.com for KZ2, and my play copy arrived early, his on release day.

I was hoping for the same again, but they delivered on release day so no real worries. Also, I believe you need a signature for ShopTo whereas you don't with play.com.
 
24-11-2010 13:59 London Central Depot Delivery attempted
24-11-2010 01:25 London Central Depot Loaded to vehicle for delivery
24-11-2010 01:18 London Central Depot Received at delivery depot
23-11-2010 13:09 National Hub Received and processed

Oh well :(

All the best

I ordered from shopto.net and it came this morning. No signature required. 1st class royal mail.

Stealth cars didn't move me. They'll probably be available on ebay for 10p eventually anyway.

cool! I thought all shopto stuff required a signature, which is what puts me off them as our local pick up office is right in town, and is only open between 6am and 12pm so is a pain to get parcels (as i live in huddersfield and work in manchester).

May have to consider them later, and I hope you are right about the stealth cars, ha.

Quick question about them...seen as they are DLC, can you use the codes on 5 ps3's like other DLC?
 
Anyone from Play.com got their order?

I ordered CE and it was dispatched on Friday.

Yes, quite a few people received them today.

If you've not got yours check that you don't have an evil girlfriend (see previous pages for the joke)
 
Thanks for the info, but Goddamnit!!!! It now says:

24-11-2010 13:30 RML DEFAULT DEPOT Address problem - unable to locate premises

WTF. So I phone them, and I can't actually speak to anyone, so I don't know where this address is!? I'm so pissed off right now.

Nightmare! Send an email to that adrress I gave you. They got back to me in about an hour and a half yesterday. Seems they couldn't find your address. Is that likely?
 
I ordered with play.com(UK) but still aint seen my copy through the post when i rang Play.com up the women gave me a fake name and a fake lie by saying
Our computer system is down today we can't check anything.

I asked her how the game will be delivered
She replied via Postman

Unlucky, are you still going to pick up a copy from the Game store as you mentioned earlier or just go to to the London depot to pick it up or wait until tomorrow?

Are you at work, hence why you missed the delivery attempt or did they just make that up? Luckily it was my day off University today so I could be in to receive it.

(Quick note, can you get the regular Standard or Collectors edition so us slow guys can have a chance of winning the SLS AMG :sly: . Just joking, whoever wins the car deserves it as they have to be the best in the world of the owners of the GT5 Signature Edition.)
 
Anyone have dealings with Amazon.co.uk and HDNL?

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I know that I'll delete my GT5 prologue data before I install GT5.

Do what others are doing/ have done mate. Go buy from tesco, and when play.com one arrives, leave it in wrapper and take it back to tesco. Should work...i'd have thought.
 
Gah! This is torture.

Every car that pauses outside my window I have to leap up to check if its the UPS truck or not. :embarrassed:

LMAO! I'm doing the exact same thing! And every time there's someone who closes their car doors, I expect it to be the Canada Post van... :nervous:
 
My copy just got to the fedex facility around 7am and now is out for delivery. So should on my doorstep when I get home. Yay. :P
 
LOL. God damn it.... I thought I heard a truck... Turns out it was, just wrong company... Instead of it being Canada Post, it's Purolator.... Arrrrrrrg
 
Still no post at all! Think my postie has been abducted! Spent all day watching out the window, I changed my days off at work for this! Would have been off tomorrow as well. Not happy.
 
Mr. Postie arrived and duely deposited a brown package through the door. My Wife immediately thought it was something nice for her and opened it. Joy of Joys a gleaming, shrink wrapped copy of GT5 dropped onto the kitchen table.

At work now but will be installing later today. I'm getting all shivery just thinking about it.

Why are you phoning play.com to complain ???

Their delivery clearly states 3-5 days, which means this is second class postage. Assuming you got your confirmation of postage on Friday evening as most did the game could turn up tomorrow or Friday and they will have still done what they said they would.

Play are not responsible for the postal service fella. Your gonna have to live with that one.

As already noted - go out and get a copy from somewhere else and then just return the unwrapped one to where ever yo got it from

Simples !!
 
Anyone from Play.com got their order?

I ordered CE and it was dispatched on Friday.

Got my CE today that was dispatched on Friday. However my dad has not got his yet. Just be prepared to see the box completely crushed. That's how mine arrived:crazy: because they decided that a paper thin mail bag is good enough protection for a card case... Sent them an email to see what they say. I don't collect damaged items. They are worthless.
 
This Turned Up at 13-40pm

:D
 
At last my signature edition arrived today at 1515hrs.

Shame I have to go to work now but it will be installed and ready for when I come back!

First impressions of the box and goodies is that they are all very well made!
