GAME. Their delivery is good, free delivery. And normally for pre-orders they ship out early and it will come definitely on the day of release. Or in some cases even early.

I usually go to Game.co.uk for a number of reasons...

  • It's a brand I know
  • Prices are usually cheaper online comared to their actual stores
  • If the prices increases before release, they'll charge you at the price you pre-ordered at
  • If the price goes down, they'll charge you at the new price
  • I've had all my preorders from them either a day early, or the day of release!
  • They've never charged my card until the product has been shipped

To be honest it varies.. I normally choose a pre-order jugding by what stuff you get thrown in. :p

The best site i've had for pre-orders is ShopTo. They're usually always the cheapest and have always got my order on the day of release or a day or two (in the case of Killzone 2) early.

The main site I use is Game as like the others said you get free delivery and I have never had a game arrive late from them (if anything it arrives early). If I cannot get a game from Game (Like the GT5 Collectors Edition) I will use Amazon or Play.

I prefer to go with Game if I can though because I get Reward Points that I can then use to buy games and hardware with (although I have just spent them on a Xbox 360 Controller for windows so I only have 98p). :)

Shopto & Gamegears are cheaper than Game by ?3-4 per game so the benefit from the reward card is negligible if at all useful. :)

Just to throw a spanner in the works, I see a lot of praise for shopto.. I had a terrible experience with them early this year - I contacted them by several different methods asking for support but they didn't respond to ANY. :p

No support at all.

No one e-tailer is the best. Having allegiances to one is where you begin to waste money.

GameGears have some terrible prices for games released last year for example. Plus their sales are pathetic.

Their one off sales are brilliant. Not sure what you're talking about tbh.

Are you talking about sales or pre-order prices on x amount of units? Because there is a difference.

Their sales are like I said, pathetic. Their pre-order prices can be competitive and sometimes the better deal.

Both. They were selling Blur for 20 odd quid way before everyone else.

I think I'm going to pre order from either Game or wait and try and get it from the supermarkets. Does anybody know if there going to be selling it at midnight?
