CAN IT BE?!

Post » Mon May 07, 2012 2:22 pm

like i said before, 99% of my games i get online and 3 have got lost or late in 3 years, no biggie as i just go to the store and pick it up on release day, then either report the copy lost or send it back when it arrives for a full refund!! BUT 99% of my games that do arrive with no probe, i get them 1/2 days before release so its a win/win either way tbh!

It's kind of stupid that PC folks are dependant on a client to 'unlock' a game they already paid for and have it in their hands. It's [censored] when you look from a non-gaming perspective [ my father ]. I am going for the console and don't yap to me about mods, this is my first console TES.

This is mostly to prevent piracy on the pc. And it still works, seeing how the pc isn't leaked yet but the console versions are. And I'm happy about that (pc not being leaked) as maybe this will lead to developers taking pc a bit more serious again.

Just got the mail myself that it will arrive in 1 or 2 days. So I'll either get it tommorow or on Thursday. Needless to say I did a wacky happy dance before I realised I was in class.

GAME sent mine yesterday! Im soo excited I really hope I get it wednesday or thursday but lately GAMe has been putting yellow tape around the big release games saying something like 'do not deliver until __/__/__ ' in this case 11/11/11
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

True, a friend of mine works for royal mail and confirmed this, he said its a possible thursday delivery but deffo not before.

I want your store and not mine. I should go proceed looking at my inbox and their facebook page.

I checked my email box and it says my order has been dispatched as well, i can expect it within 1 or 2 days. I absolutely wasn't expecting this for Skyrim. Since the review embargo is for thursday too. I DO have received games earlier than release date. Gears of War 3 i received 5 days early, Batman: AC same story. I'm incredibly surprised....i totally didn't expect this at all. OMFG!!!

I got an email last week saying that it wouldn't be delivered til the Friday. Hope you guys are all right but I'd never had an email indicating it might not arrive early before. :confused:

GAME here too --> I had mine shipped last Sunday. Of course, they couldn't have shipped it back then as it was the weekend but I hope they have dispatched it yesterday.

Btw, I haven't received any e-mail stating that the demand is so high so I expect it too arrive before Friday. Oh, and I'm not from the UK but they still use Royal Mail. However, it's the regular parcel/mail, not the courier.

My game has also been shipped, but since i am a PC gamer it does not really mean anything as I still have to wait for Steam to unlock the game. :(

Same here in Europe.. Some ppl will get it early and some not.

BUT what makes me so angry/sad is this: If i get it early (Amazon deliver it most of the time a day before release) then i can do NOTHING with it. Because its the PC-version!

It svcks that the restriction of the 11-11-11 date just goes for the pcgamers..

and yeah.. i whine. Because its so near, but not near enough ;)

this could be one of Beths tactics, to push people towards the xbox version over the pc version.
