HMV FTW

When did you place your order? I went with HMV and haven't had that notification

I spoke to HMV this morning (pathetic isn't it) and all the special edition packs have just arrived and they tell me they'll be posted either tomorrow or Monday.

Does this mean i will get mine before the weekend? it would be amazing if so!!!!

So that our world maintains a state of equilibrium, for every one of us who receives a copy early, someone else will receive a copy late

And by the sounds of it, some of us just may be playing by Monday morning!

Does anybody know what Zavvi is like on getting stuff out for you on the day it comes out? Ordered mine from there and be a bit miffed if it doesn't get to me on Tuesday as I've taken the day off of work.

[Mattt]

Tbh, I was hoping for tomorrow

[Steve Evil]

Calm down HMV guys, it will be sat there on a big load of pallets waiting for Royal Mail to come and get it on Monday. If by some fluke it does appear tomorrow it won't be me that broke into your house.

That is awesome. Going to be watching this for a little bit now.

[Borris-Bear]

i was watching for a bit hes quite early in the game only just got a knife the hand to hand fighting looks like a laugh. How about a 16 player PH punch up?

[Polarbert]

Yeah that sounds like a plan.

Me and Mattt will be on tomorrow night if anyone else fancies a.... oh yeah I forgot no-one else will have it!


(knowing my luck some tt will end up nicking my copy from the royal mail)

THe possibilities are endless. First person from x to y using any method of transport. Car races, chopper races, bike races, punch ups.

Reckon a good one would be to use a specific smallish area of the map and have a free for all shoot em up stalking mission too

I asked around at the launch of Halo 3 mate and they said the same thing. I went to Tesco at midnight and they had it on the shelf.

My PLAY.COM GTA-IV order has gone from "Processing" in "Outstanding Orders". Hopefully this is a good sign - although it's not showing in order history...

Mine still says packing, and I haven't got an e-mail saying its been posted (Play.com)

[Andeh]

Mine was showing as 'Packing' yesterday, but today it's gone back to 'Processing'. Darn!

[TimDarracott]

My xbox still hasn't been despatched

Sucks, Sucks, Sucks!

[Altrezia]

I phoned play - their systems are down. probably explains why they've gone back to 'processing' (mine have too)

fingers crossed they can still post them out.

D'oh!! What a time to lose their systems. I just phoned my bank and they said the payment is 'pending'.

Arse-biscuits!
