Do amazon take payment now or when its dispatched?

Dispatched.

 

[TheVoice]

I think if you were to somehow get the game before the weekend, I'd perhaps stay offline just to be safe. If it arrives Monday, you'll be fine.

 

[Tummy]

Would agree with that, even then on the Monday I'd be tempted to play offline.

 

[RIZZEE]

Ignore

Hmmm Zavvi have emailed me saying my bundle order has been processed and will be dispatched within the hour.

 

[kyleVTR]

Mmmm, Sprunk.

Well ordered off amazon so would be chuffed if it did get dispatched early

OcUK crew roll around in tractors?

Well we are already talking about 16 wheeler races so why not. I mean with such a small map want a slow tractor to make it seem bigger

I paid when I ordered but mine now says processing in my account section. Yours still showing up as a pre order? they did say they were starting early due to the number of orders, maybe they are still working through them.

The webchat amazon guy said it will definitley be dispatched on saturday the 14th for delivery on the 17th

 

[kyleVTR]

Yea still in the pre order tap , I decided to pay for it now hopefully speed up the process abit

 

[tomparker95]

and thats been confirmed by several people asking them

 

[antijoke]

My game orders been processed and shipped.

 

[Suarez7]

Can see many getting this for Monday if it's dispatched today.

 

[kyleVTR]

My game orders been processed and shipped.

You may get it before Monday maybe Saturday then

 

[Steedie]

[omnomnom]

a lot of sites will say "processed and shipped" etc but they wont actually leave the warehouse yet....i wouldnt have thought

 

[One]

I wonder if because of the sheer volume they are running it through on their system as 'dispatched' even if it's not even been picked and packed yet, so they can pile them all up ready for bulk delivery on the sunday night or something, and also to stop cancellations?

Surely if it's dispatched today before 8pm you'd expect it on your doorstep by Saturday which would be a complete breach of R*'s request. I'm sure Amazon think they have the upperhand in negotiations but all R* have to do is only allow orders from their website next time and completely cup out the retailers, I'd be incredibly surprised if it hurt sales more than 1%. Radiohead did it with In Rainbows and it was their biggest selling/grossing album to that date.

Realistically all Rockstar will do is give them a bit of a *******ing if many customers get it early. They aren't gonna pull their games from big retailers like Amazon.
