Don't email Amazon! The customer support is useless and don't know anything. I think most of them are in India and just go on on screen information which lists it as out of stock because it is on the website. They sold out of pre orders.

Just be patient. Amazon tend to take their time but they rarely if ever let people down.

ok cool thanks yh im just a bit  worried seen as they were sold out for so long and then when i went on their site yesterday out of desperation there was a single copy available i must of picked up a cancelation i kinda feel lucky but then again seen as my jully preorder from game was canceled i will feel justified if i get this one


There are copies becoming available at some stores due to people canceling pre orders since they decided to panic buy and just pre ordered a copy at every single shop taking up pre orders. When things settled down they started canceling and keeping the one from their prefered retailer.

Re: Play.com, I wouldn't be worried, according to Internet Banking I have not been charged yet either.

I know Play tend to authorize the payment while processing a pre-order (at which point it might show up on the bill for some people, but not others) but not actually take payment until just before dispatch.

Really, if they'd have given me more than a week's notice about all this, I'd be a little more forgiving, but this... this is more than just dropping the ball. This is spending millions of dollars to take the ball up to the international space station with the specific aim of dropping it with enough force to make a crater the size of St Paul's Cathedral.


I think that pretty much sums it up.

I've been playing games since the early 90s, I have literally thousands of shop-bought games in my collection, stretching all the way back to Duke Nukem 3D, and not once have I ever seen a screw up of this magnitude, a shop backing out a week before release of selling such a sure-fire moneyspinner as being the exclusive retailer of the Collector's Edition of one of the most anticipated games of the year.

It just isn't realistic to expect GAME to come out of this. No EA games, No Ubi games, No Nintendo games? Seriously? What exactly do they think they're going to do, become the specialist game retailer that only sells half the stuff available from competitors?

Play just charged my credit card for the CE. For those who have ordered from Play, check your credit card/bank account statement. if you've been charged then your order is on the way.

hmmmm yeah not being filled with confidence...   

But I did have a strong feeling Play may mess it up like before so thats why I ordered from Amazon as well.  But nothing is happening there either...

But tomorrow is shipping day, so hopefully things work out

It's not EA, it's definitely GAME.

This morning GAME pulled Street Fighter vs. Tekken from it's preorder list as well. The £5 deposit I had for ME3, which was then transferred to SF vs. Tekken, has now become £15 thanks to two lots of £5 "goodwill" monies. I'm almost tempted to play GAME like a dangerous stock exchange for the next two months until it goes out of business, investing in preorders then collecting the £5 bonuses until I have a huge sum on my reward card.

The hard part will be cashing in on actual products before the shop goes under, lol.

Oh well...


Have you basically just invented a version of the game 'Chicken' invovling failing businesses?:D


Egad! Genius!


Thanks! Of course now GAME will fold in 2 days time, when everyone tries to play :huh:

You actuall only need a ME2 save, infact you can't import from a ME1 save at all.  All ME1 choices are also stored in a ME2 save, assuming you imported them in the first place.

That reminds me, must go and make sure mine are still saved :D

edit: not sure why but above text is a quote, but didn't seem to show as one....Don't want to take crdit from somebody else

Game chicken does sound fun, if only there were things I wanted to buy from them:crying:.  I can't even find something to spend my £5 voucher on.  I'd prefer somet they have to ship, so it cost em money.  At this rate it will be PS points for a friend.

If evreryone who has a voucher and reqard points spent them al,l we would probably sink GAME anyway:devil:
