.KICK Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 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:) :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/677334-free-day-one-dlc-for-gears-2/page/2/#findComment-589913222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Er yeah, I always found Play.com to be really slow for pre-orders. They are retailing for ?39.99 anyway. And I always get mine a day early, with the exception of GTA IV.

.KICK Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 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:)) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/677334-free-day-one-dlc-for-gears-2/page/2/#findComment-589913256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/677334-free-day-one-dlc-for-gears-2/page/2/#findComment-589913294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted October 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2008 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.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2008 Definitely do not order from Play.com if you want your game early or on time. Shopto, Zavvi & Game (Y) They are the ones with the best prices lately (Shopto not so much) and they have awesome delivery records imo.

DR3AMxCATCHER Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 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)?

GameOverRob Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 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!

I mean for starters there are loads of people getting the LE, and secondly the golden weapons are unlockable through natural progression.

You are right, but the character name is still "Carmine" I believe. So therefore CARMINE LIVES ON!

Draken Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 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!!!

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.
