Pre-Ordering Games

[Proffitt]

Right, as you all know Modern Warfare 3 is due to release on the 8th November. I do not want to que up at 12am for Game to open to get a copy as im not that sad :p


You can pre-order the game off a few sites like Play & Amazon etc.

Do these companies get the game to your door on the release date?


I've heard people getting the game a day before the release date in some cases, which would be great :A:


Have anyone done this before and got the game in time?



Any help would be appriciated

All depends on the luck of the draw. A few of my mates got their MW2 copies 3days before release date! Obviously, you also hear about delays in postage. Like you say, that's the risk when ordering online. I cued up for black ops on release date, had fuck all else planned for that evening, was not too painstaking I guess. Fuck doing it again on a COD release date though.

Found this website that is meant to be very good with pre-orders:

Does say if you pre-order before a certain date they garante delivery on release date. is it worth it though?

3 days before!! Fair play. What company was that with?

3 days before!! Fair play. What company was that with?

That was with play.com. I got told the reason they done this was because a few supermarket retailers jumped the gun too. So play.com just jumped on the band-wagon, obviously just blaming an admin error. Activision obviously went ape shit.

i use gameplay.com as they are dam good at delivery before dates mainly 2-3 days before release. used play a couple of times and usually turned up on the day

Tesco currently have a deal with MW3 and fifa 12! You can get 2% off so basically get the game for i think £34.80. I made a thread on it with the link if your interested! :P they say you get it the day of release as well!

[TimWesty]

Whenever I have pre-ordered a game, it has came on the release date or the day after.

Where did you order it from though?

The day after? Could not cope with that!! :panic: lol

[Steelies]

Thats usually from Amazon.

[Proffitt]

Cheers :)

Im still unsure on who to pre-order from. Probs Tesco as it's the cheapest :y:

[Steelies]

Yes, go for the cheapest! And to be honest i'd rather save a few pennies and have it a day late than spend extra for delivery on the day. :)

[TimWesty]

I'm sure Tesco when i was ordering, promise you will recieve it on the day! Or at least state that you will get it that day.

[J0NNY]

i usually pre-order from game, never got a game late and often get games the day before release date

[nikkiy9]

i ordered F1 from shopto.net (cheaper than game or play) and it was delivered on the thursday (same day as it was released in italy)

[Proffitt]

It doesn't seem to work on my work computer, will try it at home and compare prices.

I have actually ordered it from Tesco Entertainment but I can easily cancel :)

[karlh944]

Play.com is good got a few games pre-order from them and they all came a few days before release :)

[Proffitt]

Well play was actually £5 more expensive than Tescos, so I went with Tescos :D ha

That 20% discount has now finished, think it finished on the 30th September.

[Olly]

Pre-Ordering Games

sod that, I pay when I see the product in front of me. Especially since some are more expensive than others so I will have a look around before buying, often found more than £20 -25 difference between shops especially after a few weeks from the release date.
