My signature edition ordered from GAME has been showing up on the Parcelforce tracking since yesterday evening as "Express 24". However no further tracking details are being given at the moment so I guess it is sitting in a Parcelforce office somewhere - optimistically I hope it starts its journey today to be delivered tomorrow - pessimistically it will start its journey tomorrow to arrive on Wednesday.
 
Postman been and gone and all he had for me was a bill from BT...oh joy.

Didn't think it would be here today though. Tomorrow for the win!!!!
 
That's a shame then. Shopto seems to be graudally getting worse. When I first used them a couple of years ago for pre-orders, you got the charged email and the shipped email within a few mins of each other so you knew you paid and shopto did their part and dispatched.

But this last year or so, the time between being charged for a pre-order and the item actually shipping has become longer and longer. The last few games they've been charging Tuesday afternoon but there's no dispatch until sometime on the Wednesday and in one case the Thursday morning.

I'm beginning to think I should switch to some other e-tailer that is a bit smaller - I think shopto just got too much of a rep for early deliveries and have had some troubles so now they're very careful :/

Rotor.

I have pre-ordered GT5 CE from Amazon UK and it hasn't be dispatched. So i sent them a quick email asking why and if I would get my copy on the 24/11/2010. They responded very quicky:

Also my friends have recieved their GT5 from play.com.

...Well that's me definately making a special trip home at midday today to see if it's sat waiting for me.

I don't think I'd cope this afternoon wondering whether it might be there. Mind you, if it is there I won't be able to play it until this evening anyway! ...It's going to be a long afternoon :scared:
 
Right am off to go pay for my SE in full, side not is XE.com the best place for current exchange rate, I have $200 which I want to exchange to ££ using that to pay off for the game...also should i dodge banks...maybe the Post Office? Thanks in advanced
 
Mine was dispatched from Play.com on Friday, im so tempted to drive home at lunch and see if it has arrived. Desperation or what?

Is it wrong for a 43 year old man to be this excited about a video game?

Oh yes, very wrong - at the age of 40 and above it is totally unacceptable to be excited about a video game.

I'm so glad I'm only 39... :)
