My Jersey friends copy didn't arrive today even though it was dispatched on Tuesday

My HMV order hasn't even been dispatched yet!!

..So much for HMV pre-orders. My first and last order with them.

Aye. Bit disappointed with 'Item pre-ordered - not yet issued by supplier' with my hmv preorder, though I did save £5 with the bank holiday sale and £5 with my reward card (though only ever bought one game there).

Off at a wedding (oh joy) all weekend and it better be here when I get back!

No things that are already out always take ages to come compared to other places.

Had stuff 2 days after release bought a headset and they say it was posted on 27th and hasnt come.

They really are poor compared to gameplay for delivery but its all because it has to be flown in from Jersey.

My order from gameplay arrived this morning, ordered on monday.

LOL @ HMV.

I'm pretty sure you will get your orders around the end of next week, they are shocking for it. I've got around 8 Pre-orders from them but only cos I've saved a lot on them. (WOW burning crusade £11.99 etc)

I guess mine will arrive tomorrow then. Royal Mail mess up I guess. Annoying as half the people on my Friends list are playing it at the moment!

Has anyone tried out the online yet?

Is it as laggy as the Americans are claiming or is it fine?

Was laggy for me, only had one game online but as that was with a bunch of Yanks it was always going to be laggy. Cant say I was too impressed by the online game, but Im sure with a load of OcUKers it will improve.

Oh and forgot to mention the best thing Id come across so far. Driving at high speed at a pile of rubbish or dirt or something, aiming to make a huge jump only to hit it, stop dead, and fly out of the windscreen

Got my fella some Gold pimp glasses and some bling accessories now :cool:

I know I was just pulling your leg. I ordered a HDD and Moto GP. The HDD I got the despatch email Tuesday evening and it turned up the next morning, Moto GP I was told was despatched on Saturday afternoon and it still ain't here.... probably in the same place as my bloomin tax disc :mad:

I did 2 missions this morning at 03:30 before work. I'm at work until 1700 and I'm itching to play it!

God that sounds fun

Can't wait till I finish work tomorrow so I can nip into town and pick it up.

My GAME order had been posted, going out tomorrow around town so I will play it all day saturday with a hangover.

I'm quite impressed with the lighting, in one instance, I was in a car and the "homie" that I had recruited was trying to get in the car and ran across the front through the headlights and cast a shadow onto the wall.

Anyone experience any overheating of their console? My friends has overheated and crashed 4-5 times while playing it today.
