How are Zavvi with pre-orders, they have some cheap games to pre-order over the next few weeks.

Actually from the list there .KICK do they all get the pre-order on release day?

I have been told that Zavvi and WoolWorths are pretty good for pre-orders and you should get them on release day. The rest I am not too sure about but seeing as you are saving ?15 off RRP (?49.99) then even if it comes on the Saturday or whatever then it would still be good valu:):)

AFAIK, Asda, Sendit and The Hut are all the same website basically.

Shopto has it for ?37.99 and you sometimes get the game on Wednesday - Click Here

I have mine on order from TheHut but I got it for pretty cheap a while back with promotional cod:) :)

And I always get mine a day early, with the exception of GTA IV.

Seeing as they usually send their pre-orders on Wednesday/Thursday from Jersey then its very rarely going to happen that the game will come a day early.

Anyway, Play are charging ?39.99 and there are sites doing it much cheaper:))

Err... what? I just said I usually get mine a day early. Out of 15 or so games I've pre-ordered there, GTA IV is the only one that didn't come early. Maybe you live further away or something.

Yeah that's nice, maybe you are one of the lucky ones but like I said, I have read a lot of people who get their pre-orders late from Play.com, myself included, that's why I stopped using them ages ago, their delivery really is the worse ever. Not sure why you would want to order GOW2 from them anyway, its cheaper elsewhere as I have pointed out.

Anyway, back on topic, I can't wait to give these maps a go :)

I don't think this was answered before but is there some place I can find a list of midnight launch stores?

Your best bet would be your local GameStop, they are usually the ones that do midnight releases. However, Bet Buy and even Wal-Mart have done midnight releases for some games in the past.

Thanks I guess I will just have to look around closer to the game's release.

I know, I know...I know already, I'm very late.

For me being a Gears of War poster boy, I have still yet to pre-order it...today ends that drought. I finally will have the chance to claim the game as mine with my beautiful Limited Edition that I will be picking up. My time has arrived, Carmine and I will finally be with each other one more time in this battle.

No, but is a realistic way...I'm pre-ordering the game today since I have not had a chance to finally go get it. As for the maps, I wish War Machine was back. Great maps to bring back and I hope snow is involved in one of these maps (tyro/canals)?

Sucks that they aren't doing warmachine. Can't believe they are doing subway; suppose if they have fixed the glitching out of the map problem then it will be fine! and I don't really like canals because you always used to get active downed by crappy snipers, but I suppose that problem is now fixed as well with the active downs being removed!

will only be available to folks who purchase the game new, making buying a used copy a bit less attractive

Or pirating it ...... :ninja: I guess we will see that trend more frequently, take note PC game publishers!!!

Sorry for dragging back off topic.

I don't know about pre-orders but anytime I've ordered stuff off play.com its come PDQ. I ordered Guild Wars Complete at 9pm, and got it delivered to me at 2pm the next day. Similar with a CD got it the following day.

Play.com is Jersey, totally different from your PlayUSA.com which is what I think you are on about.

Play.com are never that quick.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
