It's the lies thats annoyed me too. This is the first time I've bothered to pre-order, I did it because all the advertising made out that it'd arrive before the release date, that I'd be the first to be playing the game, yet I'll be able to buy it in their shops before I get my preorder.

And then to find out it hasn't actually been dispatched two days after they said it was, and five days after they took my money is the icing on the cake.

where was this advertising as far as i know all companys say it will come on the 29th no earlyer or else that company would be fined no one has it early apart from the few of us that found that one shop that sold a few no one has had it from a early pre order so no like anyone has broken what they promiced you!!!

The website I ordered it from said and I quote "Will be dispatched as soon as we receive the product."

No-one who ordered online from the big online companies is getting a copy today. All of them charged cards late last week or weekend. All of them packed them and held on to them for Royal Mail to collect today. Most of them made it clear this was the case. Why are people moaning?

They made it clear it was dispatched at 9am on Saturday, by telling me this, and by charging my card at the same time.

Quality service. ;)

Do people really thing there will be stock shortages tomorrow? Never had a game I couldn't walk into a shop and buy on release day.

I think the only people who believe this are those who pre-ordered. I've managed to get every game I wanted on release day.

The website of the company, whilst stating the release date for obvious reasons, definetly suggested you should expect it before.

And some people got their preorders on Saturday.

yeah which would arrive in time for the 29th not before this time! Any game anyone gets before the release date should be lucky tbh.

Surely it became clear last week that we were not getting this early unless we found a small shop or used some social engineering to trick gullible shop assistants?

Im the same, every game a day early. Mine was also dispatched at 8.30am on saturday
Today I got up and wondered if the postman had been. Looked out the window and he was walking up the street with a brown package....the same kind that my games come in..........I was filled with joy, I sat and watched the letter box....a letter came through.....then another......and that was it , two bloody letters and the postie walks off with the brown package.

Im ragin now. Another Whole day I have to wait

So you're telling other people to be patient and wait till tomorrow for the game yet you went out and overpaid for the game on Friday?

Hypocrite.
