Ordered mine with Tesco and not received any further confirmation of my order and no money has gone out of my account. Getting nervous seeing that other people's orders have been processed!

who did you pre order with Y2?
Shopto.net

They are quite simply the best.

They took payment for mine yesterday so expecting mine today also.

Chris, will you recieve it in the next 8 days?? You know, because you live in 'middle earth' and postman Pat will be eaten to death by pheasants.
Sorry Gaz, yeah ShopTo.

Graham My postman doesn't get to us until noon on Saturdays and 14:00-15:00 on weekdays...if it has been sent today it should come tomorrow shouldn't it?

Tesco should take the payment immediately, so if they've not done that, I'd check your order. They've also had a lower than expected number of the collectors edition too, so were e-mailing people yesterday to let them know they might not be receiving their copy.

They might have been sneeky and send it Second Class, thus being Monday / Tuesday.

Can the Royal Mail put retainers on items so as to hold it in your local sorting office until the day of release?

Rockstar have now launched the lifeinvader website which you can sign into using your social club log in. By "stalking" various people and pages, it appears you get free stuff in game.
I've stalked a soft drinks company and a hairdressers and will apparently get a free "sprunk" from a vending machine and a free haircut!

Wonder how you redeem these stalk things ? Got a free tattoo and free hair cut lol

Well to be fair, i've just checked my tesco order too which is also showing as 'Partially Ready to Dispatch'

However, there's also a previous order of mine below that which I picked up over a month ago which is showing as 'partially collected' confused

It's tied to your gamertag via the Rockstar social club, so when you start playing the game and visit these places for the first time you'll get your discount/freebies.

Out of about 15-20 orders over about 5 years only once have I not received an item a day early and that was because RM lost it. Waited 3 days and Shopto sent another copy FOC.

Best part also is that you receive points, which turn into £££'s. I got £5.64 off my order from saved points. Think you earn about £1.50 in points per order!!

Chris if you log into your shopto account and check your order there will be a photo of the front of your actual package with all the shipping details. confirming 1st class, address etc.

y2blade , did you get the photograph of your of the envelope (was going to say package ,but didn't sound right!) attached to your email from shopto?
I think it's pretty cool how they do that. I've had a sneaky suspicion in the past its the same picture with a label shopped on it though ;-).
Anyway ,hope you get it tomorrow. Mine is still stuck on processing at the moment, but hoping it ships today as well.
