Do supermarkets actually wait until 12 until putting them out or will they go up sooner/later?
I'm going to try Tesco's.
They usually put them out a little while before and everyone grabs a copy, but it won't go through the till until midnight.I'm going to try Tesco's.
I reckon people will be queueing up in certain stores for some time though.
Although people are saying 24 hour supermarkets never fail, this is the biggest game launch ever. Woolworths, Argos and WH Smith still have to be good bets on launch morning as they don't really take pre-orders, so it will be first-come first-served.

Be warned - if you don't want to know anything about it until the game comes out, don't watch it and have a go at me later!

Anyone know if play.com are sending by proper delivery rather than their usual 2nd class? Not heard anything.
I believe first class is now officially 1-2 days in the UK, and second is 3+ days... with the royal mail anyway - do any of the games companies ship via Royal mail, I wonder out loud, so as to instil a sense of fear and dread into everyone who ordered online, mwahahahaaaa. Sorry, I dont have anything helpful to contribute to this post, or possibly the entire thread. Just ruminating thats all.
This is what I got though from game today

ARGH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!
Play.com preorder since JULY, gets to today for them to authorise the payment and it just so happens that Sky have taken their subscription out at the same time - meaning my account goes to -£15 *if* they authorise play to have my cash...
If it doesn't get authorised I'll not be a happy bunny - I've got £80 cash to put *into* the bank tomorrow, I hope to hell it will authorise...
Not getting this far and losing out!! Nooooooooooooooo!
... edited to add - Alliance + Leicester = Absolute 100% total and utter stars!!!
Just got off the phone with them, they've added a temporary £50 overdraft on my account which will allow the payments to complete, I'll just clear it and cancel it next month!
