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.

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
