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.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
