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


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


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?

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! they say you get it the day of release as well!

[TimWesty]

Where did you order it from though?

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

[Steelies]

Thats usually from Amazon.

[Proffitt]

Cheers

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

[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
