Tuesday, someone from AVForums rang them and the shipped status is just for their computer system, they are waiting in the warehouse all packed up and waiting for Royal Mail to pick them up on Monday.

This is true, I have spoken to someone who knows a HMV worker.

Has anyone got or has an idea of what "Order Placed" means on play.com?

A friend is worried, as mine is processing and his isn't, lol

Depends when he ordered it, I ordered on April 11th and mine is packing right now, since this Sunday just gone it has been out of stock on both PS3 and 360.

That's the killer, he ordered it last July!

I altered the delivery address, so we are thinking that plonked mine back towards the top of the pile, but his order has been at the bottom for a long time.

I don't think play.com work on a first come first serve basis.

Seriously though I think everyone who ordered it will have it by Tuesday/Wednesday. Those who ordered from HMV, it isn't actually being posted till Monday despite what you have been told.

Im not sure whats going on with my pre order from gameplay. Since i pre ordered it it has stated a dispatched date of 27th or 28th April however i have just looked now and there isnt a date being displayed under the heading 'deipatch date'. Could this mean it has been dispatched already in which case I will get it on saturday??? eekbounce

It says at the top of my order:

"Below are the details of your order including dispatch charges and any discounts you may have received. If your order has not yet been dispatched, then our best estimate of a dispatch date is displayed against the item. You can view a description of any of your ordered items by clicking on that item."

There is no estimate dispatch date being displayed like there was yesterday - so so so....it could be on its way?

Has anyone else ordered from gameplay?

Nik

My play.com order says "posted" so at least the "omgwtfbbq?" moment last night with regards to the money being taken out is ok!

Roll on whenever it comes!!

Hi Nik,

Take Two have made all the retailers sign an agreement before they'd get their shipment of games, basically agreeing that they wouldn't ship them out until Monday. All of them are prepping them for release as much as they can, so boxed up and ready for collection on Monday, but I can't see a big company like gameplay going against the agreement. The only places that might decide to break it are the little independant shops who would hope to slip under the radar.

I want it just about as much as anyone else, but I'm resigned to waiting until Tuesday frown
