Now I've moved to PS3 I need to rebuy games, in specific IL-2 BoP :)
Now I ordered it specifically so it should arrive for my 2 days off, now this is my 2nd of 2 days off and no BoP
I ordered it from http://www.thehut.com at 8am local time on the 1st October, and today the 5th nothing comes through my door. That is unacceptable even by Royal Mail standards. So I've emailed them cancelling my order.
Well i googled my local gamestation and dialled their HQ, who told me my local branch had 1 pre-owned copy left in store. So she gives me the store's direct line number who confirm it, and put it by for me.
Off I drive to my nearest gamestation to be told, they never spoke to anyone about IL-2 and they dont have any copies...
turns out despite googling gamestation, I managed to ring Game, lol had to walk all the way accross town to the other shop. Felt a bit of a tool.
anyway thought my stupidity might make someone smile.
plus side i now have IL-2 see you in the air :)

thehut.com hadn't shipped your order after 5 days? Note to self never buy from thehut.com. Thanks for the heads up House :)
I see no stupidness on your part. I find it stupid how gamestation and game are actually the same company now, why can't they just rename of all the gamestation shops and then you'd have no mistakes and better comunication.

i didnt know that, that might explain why i googled gamestation and got game's number.
Don't get me wrong, I ordered it on 8am on the 1st it came up as "dispatched" same day, but im yet to receive it. So i got fed up and cancelled.
God I've missed it though, half way through sicily campaign trying to unlock planes for MP lol
hope to see some of you online tonight. feel free to add and invite

Nearly as good as my mates wife who whilst he was buying his 911 turbo asked the salesman whether it had Div parking- our joke name for parking sensors i.e. Parking beeps for divvies!!!

lol, Check the first part of this video out. Who's the div here? I know its for demonstation but you can imagine it being real.
The woman is so blind to the guy parking and puts that trolley in the way for no reason at all. Then she sees him but can't be bothered to move it because she has to faf around with her handbag and cardigan.
Man gets angry but still manages to park thanks to his invisible woman sitting in his lap (he only just manages to resist the urge to retake control and crunch dumb injury seeking woman's legs).
He then gets out, angryly closes the door, marches towards the woman who is now getting into her car, and then at 1:07 in the video he catches the closing car door, wrenches it open and gives her a slap. except that bit didn't happen :( lol
