Thats a reason to be worried.
Play.com are based in Jersey. They need to post theirs out sooner than mainland sellers. Otherwise we will be getting ours on Monday or Tuesday


I imagine you'd get it on saturday at the latest its never taken longer than 3 days for me personally.

You never know, since it's a preorder it might go with a courier - even with free delivery, to make sure it arrives on time. Free delivery on 'regular' items, like if you were ordering a game thats been out for a while, that might go in regular post and take ages.

Back when Dragon Age 2 came out, I preordered the Signature Ed game from GAME but the collectors guide from play.com, standard delivery. The guide arrived the day before release and was delivered by my friend who is a local courier rather than the post man.

When i lived in England I tended to get my Play orders on a Friday or a Saturday. However, when ever i have orderd anything from them and had it sent to Scotland it normaly came on the Monday/Tuesday.

Altho i did order a book from them recently and it arrived the next day so who knows.

The Free delivery with play is via royal mail as standard would be nice if they made a special case for it, however dont expect it to be delivered any other way.

Every single strategy guide I have ordered with free P&P from play has come via 2 day courier, not Royal Mail.

No idea if they'll do the same with the game, but just thought I'd mention that it's not always Royal Mail that's used for free delivery.

Edit: Also, it would not suprise me if Play had the copies of ME3 sitting in one of their England based warehouses ready to be dispatched for release day. They definately have at least one England based warehouse (in Leicestershire).

Don't know if this has already been mentioned but Argos has supply of CE's for all platforms at 62.99 (52.99 for PC). And they get the Warfare Pack and M55 rifle. Same with Tesco, HMV and ASDA.

I stand corrected maybe i should have said i have never received a delivery off play other than Royal mail also i guess i never Pre-order anything off them before either.

That may have somthing to do with the size of a strategy guide.

me too its my belated birthday present, im looking forward to playing me3, now if i can just keep my sanity til it gets here :)

lol, same here. i've been playing da2 on nightmare in the evenings to help me stop overloading on ME3. it's gonna be a long week.:pinched:


luckily, i've been getting a new kitchen and bathroom fitted this week til thursday, so hopefully that keeps me busy til my game comes, oh and i still can play single player on the demo in the meantime, i just wish i could contain my excitement waiting for the game to get here :)


I just been playing thru the first game again, i been planning on having a different save to see how it canges the game from my first.


I know this is probably gonna sound stupid but if I have just started a new playthrough of ME1 will I still have my first save or does it get overwritten by my new playthrough?

Just for anyone interested..

Play.com have today taken the money for my ME3 CE...

So looks like its definitely confirmed I got one :)

Hope everyone else has got theirs ordered now :)

did you get an email confirmation from play. or from a bank statement?


Indeed play had taken there money from my account just before mid day yesturday, So according to the wording on what processing in the warehouse means i should have recieved confirmation 24 hrs after them taking it. Then dispatch will take within at the most 24 hrs of that, i have had no confirmation that they taken the money but i do know they have. That would fit in the weds release window.

would of been nice for them to confirm they are taking the money regardless of the fact its dispatching weds.


I wouldn't get too hung up on the specifics of what 'Processing at Warehouse' entails - the wording on their site is really a guideline to cover their back.

Still, Wednesday is a logical time to ship for release date and if they've taken your money, odds are they're waiting for the date to arrive so they can dispatch it. IIRC Play.com do not have an order status to say words to the effect of 'We've processed and packed your order, just waiting until we can send it off'.

You have all the saves that you completed available for import into ME2, then the same again from ME2 to ME3. They only get deleted if you delete them manually.

So after a'wrasslin' with the bank, Zavvi has finally managed to get my money. And CS rep says the game should be despatched tomorrow, with expected arrival anywhere between 2-5 days. 5 days?! I may suffer a long weekend. But fingers crossed it won't be that way. And thanks to the guy/gal(you know who you are, surely) who pointed me to amazon.fr, it wasn't needed in the end but I appreciate the help, sure as sure*.

And did anyone else get GAME try to charge them 18 pounds for something on Monday?

*If anyone knows this reference, no I'm not nearly as evil as that bastard, but it's a good line to use, eh?

Alright, HMV said they will be getting there stock in tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. They will still be shipped out so it will ARRIVE on the RELEASE DATE.

I am very tired. All I have been doing is refreshing pages, I might try and play some Rise Of Nations now. Going to GAME tomorrow to get some Microsoft Points for I am Alive and any Mass Effect 3 DLC that comes along (which I am sure there will be).

Ouch!!

Hope it arrives on release day, Shopto guarantee release day delivery or give you £5 if it doesn't reach by release.

And with GAME attempting to charge £18, it's just their new feature.  "Buy shares, we won't die then".

If you started a complete new playthrough it would have a completely new save to so im sure your earlier save should be perfectly fine.

Indeed. I think microsoft points will be the last purchase I make from GAME. And that's only because of the ridiculous little £5 voucher they sent me. Too little too late, GAME OVER Posted Image

Yeah, the £5 voucher thing came off sounding like an insult. 'Sorry to screw you over chaps, here's a fiver to, uh, put towards your next purchase, since it isn't nearly enough to buy anything in our overpriced catalogue by itself'.

To be fair, in GAME's whacked-out mind, they probably think they've handed out the greatest compensation package ever.

Meh. I put the voucher (and the rest of the 'reward' points I had) towards getting the Skyrim guide... worked out only having to pay £9. Probably the first time GAME have ever undercut anyone on price. :P

It may be being processed. Often it doesn't show on your statement for a couple of days though you can often tell by comparing your current cleared balance to the previous nights cleared balance.

Same here, not sure what the issue is, but if they expect the game to get here in the expected 3-5 days, they need to send them out now. Last I checked, it's three days until release date, which means that chances are, we may not be recieving it on release date, unless the PO is really speedy, which I fear they won't be due to the sheer number of packages they're going to be delivering...
