In all the Game hate people for get with  the troubles the countrys in thats peoples jobs on the line, as much i dislike a company i wouldnt want them to go under and for people to lose there lively hood.


I don't think anyone is actually happy people are losing their jobs. What people are happy about is that this kind of farce likely won't get repeated, as GAME are the only company daft enough to try and conduct business like this.

The phone call itself was pretty funny. I said I was calling about a delivery query, and the chap asked if my question was about the copy of ME3 I'd ordered. I'd not given him my name, order number, post code or anything else - all I had said is that I had a query about the delivery policy. I was a little taken aback, but replied "did my Turian accent give me away?". The guy laughed and said Salarians shouldn't impersonate Turians, they just can't do it! Legend!


Lol, that's brilliant.

In total I have paid: £205, just for 2 N7 one for £135 being sent from eBay who is using my address for Amazon with Express Delivery so I get it on release, the other from HMV for £70 being sent with Express Delivery. Which HMV keeps trying to assure me that I WILL get it on release day and to relax.

My play.com order it in processing, called my bank and the payment has been approved but not taken yet.

So i am guessing they will dispatch it tomorrow? If that’s the case maybe we could get it Thursday?

It seems my last post was deleted for some reason (I can't find it anywhere).Or the thread disappeared... So I'll repeat myself.

This problem is not limited to the UK or Game. I'm from Romania and I pre-ordered the N7 edition in december last year, from a local retailer. And a day after the news about Game and two after EA boasted about how many sales they got...my pre-order was canceled. They don't even have the standard edition.

And it's not the first time this happened. Last year I had preordered Crysis 2 CE, Dragon age 2 SE and Dead Space 2 CE. Not a single one of them got here and the standard versions had weeks of delays. At least this time, the retailer was kind enough to give me a discount as compensation. So instead of EA, my money went to Ubisoft. Good job EA.

I maybe wrong, but according to Shopto.net all retailers have agreed to all dispatch on Wednesday..again I might have misunderstood.

I would assume that would be the case. They likely won't take payment until they dispatch it.

Look on the bright side, Zico - if you get both of them you'll almost certainly make your money back if you resell one on Ebay. Collector's Editions always hold their price well.

Yup the customer service advisor i was speaking to said that the payment has been approved by NatWest but Play.com have not taken it yet.

So what Vault N7 said is true then most likely we will not be getting early, release day dilivery then. oh well one can always hope right :)

I hope so, if I do sell it I will sell the HMV t-shirt because I already got a free one from Eurogamer Expo last year.

If thats the case i dont see plays free delivery making it on released day, as in my experince Royal Mail 3 to 5 days will mean it will take at least 3 days.

Dont take it as gospel I may have misread :P I'm also sure I saw it said on this thread somewhere.

Shopto usually dispatch on a Wednesday but they are  fast so I always get it on Thurs.

EDIT: found it, says in the last sentence of the first paragraph

You may be surprised. That 3-5 figure they give is a little pessimistic, largely meant to cover any freak delays the postal system may see. Typically I get Play deliveries within a day of them being dispatched.

So if they dispatch on wednesday, you'll likely have it for the 8th :D

Wow, Tesco are now officially profiteering! :o Somebody should complain to Trading Standards. This is well above even the manufacturers RRP!

personally all orders i have even done with play have taken 3 days just my experience is all im saying, also i think 3 to 5 days also mean Royal mail doesnt have to rush.

I only had Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood, good game but can be frustrating at some points.

To be fair, if you were expecting MW3 then I doubt Call of Juarez would have been your cup of tea :P
