looking at getting fm 08, the hut is £18 free delivery but availability is down as "despatch when we receive from suopplier" so im guessing they are getting it probably tomoro / fri and i wont get it until sat/ mon
however play is down as "in stock" "usually" dispatched within 24hrs, does that mean they will have it now ready to send out, play is £24.99 would you risk it from the hut or would you order from play for the extra 7odd quid in the hope it comes earlier

Play is shit for delievery times. They dont send out first class.
Expect a week for the game to come to you.

play send out via royal mail 1st or 2nd class. however everything comes from jersey, hence why its so cheap as thats how they get round the VAT. thats why it usually takes 5 days.

they are expecting stock today....they send the games out as soon as they have them in stock and they use free 1st class delivery so you should get the game tomorrow.

Game.co.uk are really good for pre-orders. Every game that I've pre-ordered has arrived the day before release. They quite often have discount codes to get £5 off aswell.

dont get why, top of page says FREE DELIVERY ON ALL ORDERS WITHIN 24HRS,
yet fm 08 delivery is down as 17.99
then fm courier is down as 23.99 so that aint free delivery
seems odd

i think the courier option is for people who are still affected by the postal strikes,

shops should have it in stock now, it's been leaked onto the net already so i imagine they'll let the shops start to sell it a day or two early, and online shops to post out a bit early too to stop people just downloading it
