Just got back from going to a 24 hour asda to pick this up (90 minute walk altogether ffs) and they don't have it?? I asked why not and their reply was basically "dunno lulz". Grrr.

That sucks.

Guess I'll wait till tomorrow then and grab it from Game or some place.

All the ads in today's papers said £37.41 iirc. Housemate's going to grab at midnight shortly so will find out.

Thats how much it was for me at Tesco's in Swindon.

Played about 30 minutes, visually very nice and a lot of the gameplay elements seem to hold together well on first glance. I am concerned that the battle system is very simplistic and just a case of hitting "x" until someone requires a potion but I'm assuming that complexities will arise once the job system comes in to play.

Still, very nice so far.
 
Picked mine up at minute past midnight (sneaked out of work to the 24 hour ASDA), arrived at 23:40 to be first in the queue thank god - ended up a queue of around 20 -30 people for only 12 copies available. Did not hang about to see the unhappy faces
 
I was very worried by the first 2ish hours of this, but as soon as you get the third trophy the game completely changes and improves dramatically. It went from having the most mundane battle system i've seen in a final fantasy to having the most frantic.
 
Called into Sainsbury's on the way to work and they hadn't had their delivery yet :(

Might nip into town at lunch and see if I can get my hands on a copy then.
 
Awesome, Mr post man just arrived with ps3 collecters editon and guide :), preordered mine from the prurple chain, was kinda worried it wouldnt arrive.

anyone who ordered theres from game and had a dispatch email on friday should hopefully get theirs today :)
 
i got my dispatch email on sunday lol its coming via parcel force and their status thing seems utterly useless. Im expecting to get the guide before i get the ruddy game lol
 
Just a rough guide (and this is in Stockport by the way)

Asda - £34.71
Sainsburys - £34.99
Tesco - £37.41

Picked up two copies in Asda, can't wait until I get home!

Could do with getting Morrison's price tbh.

/edit Glad i cancelled the pre-order and saved myself 28p :p

fuuuu play is still saying "packing" :(


Reckon i can email and cancel and pick it up in tescos while out?
 
Well I just got a scare. The doorbell goes and jumps me out of bed. It's the postwoman and she doesn't have it, just a recorded delivery for my housemate. Angry I go to recheck my email and it turns out GAME don't have their terminology down quite right.

Track Your Special Delivery Order*
If your order is being sent by Special Delivery your tracking number is: BA8464985

All I did was read this on Sunday and assumed it was coming via Royal Mail. Parcel Force do not have a "Special Delivery" service; their equivalent is called "Express 24".

Great ambiguity from the purple monster. Might drop them an email regarding this: it's quite misleading.

So now I'm waiting for a Parcelforce man! 5 years waiting, and this is the morning...

Exact same position mate :D sat here waiting for him hehe, whats the betting he comes between 1-2pm right when im out with the puppy dog :( and no one else is home :(:( whimpers...
 
Good luck guys recieving it guys, i just woke up 9.39am.... about to do another monster session like i did yesterday, 11 hours in so far.
 
Yeah I've checked it on Parcelforce, it was sorted at the delivery office 5 miles from here at 1am this morning and is "in progress". Van's probably making its rounds at the moment, but I have to leave for work in 15 minutes. I know they'll just drop it in the letterbox, though, so not worried.

I hate that term for a delivery status: "in progress". Royal Fail say the same thing with their tracker. Of course it's in progress! It's always in progress!
