I'm still questioning why gamestop is the only place saying 9/2. I'll believe it about 6:30 tonight when/if I get the call to pick up my preorder tomorrow.
Keeping my fingers crossed. LOL

[King Jareth]

I didnt pre order as I'm going away this weekend then I won one of the twitter question of the day comps and I think I get a copy as a prize :D.
(no idea when it'll arrive though).

I tried to follow than and I couldn't tell when they were asking the questions. Freaking twitter hardly makes any sense to me.

[SeaCat]

I got antsy today and jumped on the Gamestop website and pre-ordered. ;D Still accepting pre-orders, so if someone wants to save a few bucks, hurry up!

[Rittmeister86]

I just left gamestop. The guy at the counter checked every box in the back for me lol. He said it will be in tomorrow. He also said some of the stores in California and Texas will likely get it by tonight.

[guiltyspark]

gamespot in the us is getting the game on the 8th

dont know how you guys are going to pick it up tomorrow

[The Doctor B]

My copy from Play.com still says 'Packing'

Play usually take two days to send anything so it is not looking good!:(

Nope, I'm in Atlanta and Ashley just called and said to come pick it up tomorrow.

Dude, Ashley is my girl! She called me to pick up mine tomorrow (9-3).

I heard that in some parts of a country their gamestop call is from some dude named chet or chip or something. How disappointing.

[John192]

Not disappointing if you're gay... Me though, Ashley sounds hot...

[sasquatch]

I haven't gotten a call from Ashley yet. :(

[Plippy]

Anyone know if you have to pick up your GameStop preorder from the store you selected on the webpage?

[Jeevz]

Yes, the same store. They can't transfer preorders.

[imagecrafting]

Anyone know if you have to pick up your GameStop preorder from the store you selected on the webpage?
That's the point of picking the store yes. Another store might have but why would you order it from one and pick up from another???

[Plippy]

That's the point of picking the store yes. Another store might have but why would you order it from one and pick up from another???

I had intended to pick this up after work tomorrow, but if what Rittmeister86 mentions holds true, there might be a chance of this coming in later this evening here in Texas. If so, I'd rather not have to haul back across town to the GameStop by my work. Also, we have one location that is open until 11 PM rather than 9 PM.

[blacksungregg]

Just checked Gamestop. It still says pre-order shipped 9/2/09. I live in Calif, and I paid for USA overnight, but I also live in bum **** india as far distance from a major city. I guess I'll get my money's worth is the way to look at it as regarding delivery charges go.

[Irishmandkg]

My order from gamestop hasn't shipped yet. Hoping it does soon.

[sasquatch]

I just got my call from Ashley! :grin:

[PedroTheGoat]

Just got my automated call from Ashley too.

Sweetness!

[dald101]

No word on my order yet.
I hope it arrives tomorrow, because fri i'm obliged to attend a mates wedding, get incredibly drunk and dance like a 1980's robot

[moozicmon]

YEAH BABY!

Same for me too guys, status is packing, I have had expeience with Play.com in the past, and we may still get them tomorrow because 'packing' may not be reflecting the real time status of the order, we'll just have to see tomorrow.

[Steiner]

I just called GameStop and they said I could pick up my copy tomorrow about 11 am. I think they already have BoP instore because the guy said that he has my T-shirt if I wanted to pick that up.
:-P
Go figure.

Anyway, I'll use this time to fix my flight chair, I just found two busted rivets laying on the floor that I need to replace. I guess that's why my chair has been listing to starboard for the last couple of days.:x

No, they don't have it in-store unfortunately. It's not street dated so they would definitely sell it to you if they had it. They got the T Shirts in about a week ago.

Just hope your local UPS guy is quick. As soon as he brings it all they have to do is scan it then it's good to buy.

[juz1]

looks like the release weirdage is universal..published release for Australia was TODAY and yesterday all of a sudden Game Au say release is Monday...

i pre-ordered 2 weeks ago from a game company here in New Zealand, checked last night (the 2nd) said released on the 4th, just went there 5 mins ago, now its not released here till the 11th! anyone know why theres a delayed release in New Zealand??

[redtiger02]

I ordered a copy online for a friend via Gamestop and it's shipped. I ordered mine at the store so I am waiting for the call.

[redtiger02]

How in the hell did so many places get the release date so wrong?

[Soviet Ace]

How in the hell did so many places get the release date so wrong?

It happens, can't be right all the time. I've had this problem with other games before, but tomorrow it should be at all the Gamestop's. From what I know and the Gamestop guys told me :confused::-P

[PF_Lizard]

Well, some of us lucky brits should be getting an early delivery from Game (I think that's where the premium price comes from! ;) )

Wait, does that mean the servers will be crippled like with every new release? :grin:

[redtiger02]

They get a shipping manifest the night before to tell them what's arriving, so I am about to call them to see if I need to burn down the store or not. It says that it's shipping on their website, so if they got it wrong it's going to be bad times for Gamestop.

[Yossarian]

@ PF_lizard

What servers ?, I can only think of a few console games that use servers. (MMORPG's and Battlefield etc)

A PS3/X360 will be the server, it's shoddy networking code in the games that causes problems not the non-existent servers.

[redtiger02]

Section 8 uses dedicated servers. What happens most of the time with games is that the host doesn't have a very strong connection and it drags the game down. The other scenario is that you start getting people into the game that refuse to pay the extra $5 a month for faster internet, their lag translates into everybody's lag. Hawx was terrible about that. Everybody would be doing great, laughing, killing, then some guy would come into the room and start jumping around the sky like he was in a damned x-wing, getting all kinds of kills because nobody could see him, then boom, server closed.

[redtiger02]

Duh! I feel like a idiot. (thinks about deleting post):rolleyes:

Don't feel bad. You don't know EVERYTHING. You're not Jesus either.

[Steiner]

I had just finished replacing those rivets I mentioned earlier when I got this phone message from, ...guess who? That's right, Ashley! Tomorrow people and my flight chair is sitting true.:twisted:

[redtiger02]

OK, now we have issues. I haven't received my traditional Gamestop call. Then, I checked online for the copy that I ordered for a friend and it goes from bad to weird. The tshirt has been sent, but it is saying that BoP is "backordered." You can't have a game backordered on the release date unless they completely screwed up the release date to begin with. People will now be made to suffer.

Nobody else seems to have gotten the call. There's some weird shit happening at your local gamestop.

[Kamak86]

Well i know someone on this forum who is playing the game right now.... Nicotlsefr...the French guy. My FL indicates hes playing the Training mission for in England as we speak.

[Rittmeister86]

I got my call about 3pm. Said it will be in tomorrow afternoon

[redtiger02]

LOL what did I tell you on the Live message? He'll play the game for about 20 minutes then surrender it to a German player.

[Soviet Ace]

LOL what did I tell you on the Live message? He'll play the game for about 20 minutes then surrender it to a German player.

Well if he is, then it totally kills the joke, so he isn't.

[FOZ_1983]

we have the game in stock at work. Arrived tonight. But cannot shelve it until friday AM. its horrible seeing it their and not being able to play it or purchase it yet. If im lucky i'll be able to pick a copy up within the next 12 hours. Chances are slim though, so will wait until friday.

[DannyBooze]

I went to gamestop to see if it was out but it wasnt they said not till the 3rd it gets shiped today the 2nd so i reserved a copy so im guaranted to get tommorow n i asked if i could still get a shirt and he said sure, but not till the seventh cuz it has a street date:cool::rolleyes:

That doesn't make a lot of sense. The game isn't street dated, that's what's causing all the problems today. If you ordered the game online the tshirt should already be on the way, but it says the game is "backordered." My Gamestop seems to be as confused as the rest of us, but I did manage to get the tshirts last Friday. Now, some guy in France is already playing the game, some people are getting the magic call from Ashley, most aren't, no stores have it in stock according to the website, some say call back tomorrow, Amazon says next week, GameCrazy says 9-15, 1C isn't saying shit.

[GabeFan]

FYI: I went to Best Buy yesterday to ask about the game. They looked it up on the in-store computer and it gave Sept 8th as the release date.

[Soviet Ace]

And then the panic sets in......

[Irishmandkg]

Gamestop has my order as backordered including the t-shirt. It hasn't shipped yet.:(

[Soviet Ace]

Alright to those living on the WEST COAST UNITED STATES!!! :D I have contacted Gamestop, and my local Gamestop said it will be in tomorrow for sure, no delay or problems. (Unless for some un-significant reason, the truck hauling the game is driving down the coast highway, and suddenly veers off the road, into the ocean!?) :P

[DigitalMan]

Yep, I got the call from the lovely Ashley, but still called to make sure they hadn't got it in already. I think i'll call in the morning too, but I have a full day of classes and work tomorrow!! Yikes. The whole day will be ruined in anticipation for the that moment when I climb into my Spitfire.

[Kamak86]

Here in Ohio, everything is set for tmw morning at 11am, i called 4 GS and they said the same thing.

No idea what kind of server it is or if the game is hosted by one player.

[Jazzy Jase]

Well this morning I cancelled my order from sendit and re-ordered with shopto. Got a dispatch email from them already. Wish I'd done that yesterday.

Now for the annoying part. Shopto's warehouse is 2 miles from my house. It will go god-knows-how-many-miles in the post and when they ring the doorbell tomorrow and no-one is there it will go back to the depot. I will then have to drive 3 miles to pick it up!

that's called corporate efficiency... My dad works at Sony logistics europe, and everytime he wants to buy a sony product with staff-discount, it has to be mailed from the warehouse where he works to the other side of the country, scanned there, and then sent back to his workplace to take it home... it's bullcrap really...

[SeaCat]

Well, my order status with Gamestop has switched from "backordered" back to "open". Hoping that means I'll get it tomorrow, I'm having it overnighted. :/

Also, if you look at Birds of Prey on Gamestop, it says "Usually ships within 24 hours" instead of the usual "pre-order ships on the 2nd". So it's definitely available!

Your sheet is old. I got a text from the pre-order system yesterday AND your website says today.
"I don't know anything about it"
Great. I'll be in at 1.

What are the chances I get that tshirt? I've never gotten any of that stuff from this store before. Just a lot of "do you have anything to trade in today?!"

Now you guys that have the game already, DON'T BE SELFISH!!! Take a break from the game and give us some details. lol

[Plippy]

No Xbox at the office, so I'm going to fly this bad boy around for the next few hours:

[Raw Kryptonite]

also I can't change orders and get it from Amazon.com, because amazon doesn't list a ps3 version. Only the ds and xbox 360 versions. AAAHHH

I see it listed, but currently unavailable. They have 9/8 on that, 9/15 on the 360. Weird.

[Danny M NL]

What? As posted above mine was just shipped and is expected to arrive tomorrow (also via amazon.co.uk). :confused:

Good luck mate!

I don't mind the wait, I mind having paid 27 euros for overnight delivery and getting the game delivered 4-5 days later:mad:

[PedroTheGoat]

Simulator training was fun. Got to finally fly a Hurricane. Bombing on simulator is not impossible... Just really tough.

[irrelevant]

Just got my copy from gamestop! Posting from my mobile! Woo! ;)

[Soviet Ace]

I got my copy!!!!

[Riceball]

My order from Gamestop.com still says "Backorderd". Not quite sure what is going on there. I ordered in friggin' April! Apparently they did'nt order enough copies to go to stores and fill all pre-orders.

I cancelled that and am getting ready to run across town to the mall.

[imagecrafting]

We'll I've got it! Unfortunately I'm still at work... Feeling Ill all of a sudden...

[Spitfire23]

i must check if mines been posted yet

[SeaCat]

Yeah. I was mistaken earlier and mine still says backordered as well... I reckon I'll give customer service a quick email, too. Maybe they'll give me credit or something. :D

Something is wrong over at play.com! Mine also still says packing. They usually (99% of the time) post new games on tuesday so they arrive 1 day before release!!!!!

If it hasn't arrived by tomorrow I am going to buy one in the shops and return the play.com one back to the shop (still packed for a full refund). This way I will only pay for the reduced internet price!:cool: (I really hope this works)

I reckon it will arrive monday. DAMN PLAY.COM

[Danny M NL]

it's 19:51 in the uk at the moment, anyone know if amazon ships items the same day when ordered before 21:00, like some other webshops do?

[The Doctor B]

I think they only do next day delivery on items ordered before 16:00 (or something like that), sorry.:(

Same here. I checked the local gamestop and they don't have any copies. Just have to wait for my pre-order to ship.

[Kamak86]

This is werid....all the gamestops in my area (dayton ohio) only got 1-2 copies of this game. Most of them were sold out already, luckly i got mine :) with a T-shirt too, the dude made me pronouce the game before he would give it to me.

[redtiger02]

Just talked to Gamestop and they said come get it, even though I never got the call. Adios mofos, see you in the game.

[The Doctor B]

Cocknobs!:(

I really dont think you want to try that Doctor, most retailers of games these days have a policy for returns that says they dont have to offer a refund on a game unless it is proven to be faulty, exchanges or vouchers is what they usually offer, I should know, I used to be a branch manager for Game.

[The Doctor B]

Thanks for the advice. I will make sure I ask them about their returns policy before I do anything. I don't normally get that excited about new games, but this is different. I need this!

[reverend66]

Just picked mine up from Gamestop (of course now I'm back at my office & have to wait 3 hours to play it).

[xNikex]

the dude made me pronouce the game before he would give it to me.

Good thing he didn't make you pronounce Ilyushin-2 Sturmovik:-P

[TRC Subaru]

Got mine! …and a pretty nice IL 2 T Shirt…:grin:

[Danny M NL]

I had to pronounce it several times and they still didn't have a clue what I was talking about... I felt like the nerdiest of nerds, wanting a game that apparantly noone has heard about:confused:

[IamKFAM]

Just got mine... no preorder just dropped in on Gamestop...

They gave me a T-shirt too...

Good bye wife......

[Steiner]

Just got back to my game room with a copy of IL 2: BoP in hand.
I preordered from GameStop and they gave me two T-shirts.
I didn't notice there were two T-shirts until I got back home but when I was handed the T-shirts I thought; "Shit man! This is one heavy duty ******* T-shirt!":cool:

[towman]

My wife picked it up for me from Gamestop, I have slight feeling of some kind of issue will come up very soon and have to leave work early ;)

There is a God, and He loves Gamestop.

[Irishmandkg]

So I called gamestop about my order still not shipping even with over night. They just refunded my overnight shipping :grin: Hopefully they can figure it out.

[Danny M NL]

BTW, anyone with the game in their posession, can you tell me if in single player your soviet wingmen and pilot speak in cool russian, or in english with some stupid accent slapped on top?

[xNikex]

Does anyone who preordered from Amazon have any idea on when we should get it?

I'm growing impatient(crazy), but it will be worth it for the P-47D and Ta-152H-1.

[Irishmandkg]

Awesome my order just shipped finally! Can't wait to play it tomorrow.:grin:

[fritzwendel]

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Just got done with a 2 hour session.... and I've only scratched the surface of this game. There are HOURS of gameplay to be had.

Don't wait, go get it NOW.

[SeaCat]

My gamestop order has shipped too. I'm stoked, I'll be playing tomorrow! :D

[Soviet Ace]

They speak in actual Russian. Hard to understand since I don't read or speak Russian, so I just put the audio subtitles in. Now I know what their saying, but really it's just the same stuff in Russian as it is in English :(

Picked up my copy from HMV on the way to the office this morning. First time I've paid full price for a game in quite some time. Now I have to sit here staring at it all day! It's not all bad though. The wife is out tonight!

Does anyone know where there's a full plane list?

I'm in NZ, and the OZ supplier told me THEY don't even know when it's coming to them, so the 7/9/11 dates are purely speculation and it's likely to slip another week. They should've said this earlier so we could import from the UK. Once again, we get shafted.

Its why I feel so f*****d over...a uk import would easily make it sometime after the weekend AND with exchange it would've been $65au ish inc postage..

yes unbelievably disappointing, i preordered with tesco online and yesterday i decided to cancel it and order with play.com because tescos hadn't even started picking the order yet. my order is the same status as everybody elses. i am going buying it over the counter tonight and will send play.coms back when it eventually arrives. i usual receive games from play.com on release date (my batman collectors thingy arrived on time last week)

[mr71mb0]

I've just been down to blockbuster and picked it up on Xbox360 for £29.99

Bonus. My play.com order was for PS3 version so I may end up keeping that one too to give me options. I was put off the PS3 version though after hearing about the tearing still evident in the final build, which is why I went Xbox this time.

anyhoo, I'll be playing on it tonight and I'll never use play.com again.

Ugh, really?

My copy was shipped by GAME on Wednesday, which means I was expecting it on Monday. But if there's a strike on, that might not happen…

Now it's going to be even more hellish looking at all the (German) copies of the game on the shelves here.

(Hmm, maybe I'll just pick up a German PS3 copy while waiting for my Xbox 360 game to arrive…)

[xNikex]

Are you uk based, because I thought the p47-d and ta-152 were only available from pre-ordering with game?

I'm from the U.S. and ordered it from our Amazon which came with the 2 extra planes also.

I can wait, but any information would be great.

Hope yours arrives soon pal

Every game I have ever ordered from them has turned up a day before release. This is of course apart from IL2 due to a postal strike and once before also due to a postal strike! They are usually very good and this wiould appear to not be their fault.

Believe it or not, I don't work for them. I just wouldn't want you to be put off what is usually a first class service.

:(

[Pyquila]

Right..

Since my order from play.com (uk) is on status 'Packing' for two days now i decided to get the ps3 version, play that for some time. Once the 360 version from play would arrive i would just wrap the ps3 version in a nice paper and give that to a friend. He isn't much of a console gamer, but does own a ps3 and is really into WWII history. Esp the russian side of things. Great plan isn't it?

No shop in Amsterdam even heard of BoP. Some of the better ones suggested i really meant il2 1946. At most of them i just ended up staring at the face of some youngster with a question mark painted over his face. While texting all of this to a friend he suggested a place on the edge of town. They often have the lesser known titles. And sure, it was listed on the website!! Spend about an hour in dutch public transport, not fun. And indeed, they heard about BoP!!! Sadly it didn't came in today. When it would arrive... they had no clue.. *sigh* Spend another hour back in public transport empty handed.

Not wanting to do a 'Dennis' here, but i fear the sales for BoP in the netherlands won't be that high =( It's really impossible to get here it seems. Been roaming the intern3tz for some time and only a handfull of independent shops sell it in the netherlands. Shame really.

[LighterGuy]

I know what you mean. I bought my copy in a pretty big HMV in the middle of London and had to root for it amongst the stuff that's been out for ages (360 copy). They did have the PS3 version out in the 'new releases' section though. I guess it's a kind of chicken and egg thing. The smaller devs/publishers can't afford/don't have the clout, the retail space deals. As a result, there isn't much passing trade and the title doesn't sell well. I guess time will tell. Jeeez, sell, well, will and tell all in the space of 7 words! lol

[lazyboy_se]

Well, looked around my whole town here in Sweden. Didn't manage to find a copy. Talked to one store that said they didn't have a deal with the distributor in Sweden, and that it would be in in about 2-3 weeks. However I already preordered it from a swedish webshop, and they shipped my game today, so I will be able to play on monday (no delivery of mail on saturdays in sweden :( ). Called the webshop and apparently they got the game delivered today, so at least they shipped it as fast as they could.

[Mart]

Just been into Tesco and there it is sat there waiting to be purchased. £29.99. Nice. Impulse buy FTW.

[vincent1989]

mine arrived this morning, i've completed all the training missions and the battle of britian, but i'm on the stalingrad campaign and that pissy little plane is hard to use, it handles well, but i can not for the life of me see anything through the glass sight/'windscreen', i can see through the top half but when ever a plane comes in to the bottom half it becomes incredibly hard to spot, it's really annoying as it's making it impossible to play the mission :(.

Dont excuse your language, you have the right to feel that way.

Is it a fact that theyre on strike? i just heard it as a rumour. (Damn Royal Mail)

At this rate its gonna be wednesday before they deliver it, if its not turned up by tuesday i purchasing it elsewhere and returning it to play.com

This is my first pre-order ever, Never Again!

[Rhah]

Hello people... first post, shame its under such circumstances!
Anyway, I also ordered mine from Zavvi, and I'm having the same problem. I actually tried to cancel the order so I could go hunting in the shops for the game tomorrow, but the bastards wouldn't let me cancel it!!
Anyway, I'm hoping that it will get sent out today, but was wondering if anybody knows whether they use 1st or 2nd class postage? The delivery estimate is 3-5 days, so it seems like 2nd class, but most other internet distributors use 1st so I'm a bit confused. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, and I look forward to bumping into some of you online!
PSN id is Rhah

[ThatYoungGameGuy]

i think royal mail are on ******* strike, screw the bastards! AHHH! I really want this game, and i to ordered it from zavvi.

[Rhah]

As far as I know, it isn't a national Postal strike, only certain regions... of course, it's sod's law that wherever Zavvi have their distribution centre will be on strike.....
With any luck it might turn up tomorrow or Monday, if they use 1st Class.
Guess I'm just going to have get drunk for 2 days straight... Time always passes quicker when your pissed!

Edit*

Just been reading up on the strike, and apparently it may become a full on national strike next week. I'm thinking that if the game isn't sent out tonight, then there's a good chance it might not get delivered till after the next strike, whenever that may be.


Bollocks....

[ThatYoungGameGuy]

hey the strike isnt on yet! me and my dad rang them up and they said that they aim to DISPATCH the order on the RELEASE day. I will never be ordering from them again!

[Rhah]

Thats good news (kind of).
In that case, i'll give them till tomorrow to dispatch it, and I don't have a confirmation email by then, I'll get off my arse and go and find it in the shops and get a refund from zavvi.
And I'll also never order from them again. Should have stuck with Amazon.

[ThatYoungGameGuy]

Mines been dispatched from zavvi!!

I called Play.com as soon as I got home, I can't beleive those twats have got a customer service centre in f****ing Hydrabad !!! told me they would have to email their warehouse in offshore UK for an update, and no explanation as to why the order status is still showing as packing, just remember
folks cut price games= non existant customer service= no repeat orders!!!!

[Jazzy Jase]

Well I got home hoping to find a delivery note and go and pick it up from the Royal Mail Depot, but there was nothing.

So, off to Sainsbury's. Loads of copies but they wanted £40 and I wasn't paying that. Blockbuster and Tesco didn't have any at all, so I ended up at Game. It was £35 but I had loads of reward points to use up so it cost me £30.

The one I have ordered will be sent back when it eventually arrives.

I just don't get it? Why go so far as to buy another copy and then have to take the trouble to send the unused copy back when it finaly gets mailed to you? All for the sake of what? two days?? I guess my brain just doesn't work like that so I can't understand it. When I saw this evening that my copy from play.com wasn't waiting for me when I got home I thought "Oh well, maybe it will arive tomorrow and I will be able to play it during the day" And if it doesn't, then I will think "Hmmmmm, ok nevermind plenty of other things I can do, I bet it arives Monday so I can play it when I get home" Nothing could get me angry like most of you, about something so insignificant. And don't think that I'm not looking forward to this game as much, because I am. But I've waited this long, one or two days more means nothing.

[Spitfire23]

Play.com has posted it!

should be here monday or wednesday

looks like im gonna have to postpone tearing my face off

Yes it is. Or at least I think it is, I am pretty sure I was flying it in one of the training missions for bombing, but i could be mistaken. Or maybe it wasn't, i don't know.

I was hoping to get this game around the 2nd, since Gamestop had that for the NA release date, but apparently Canada is not part of NA, since I was told while at Gamestop:
"We won't have that in until the 8th."
"But your site said yesterday?"
"I know."

[Danny M NL]

It could've been here today, were it not that they shipped my copy through bloody cologne, germany! why the hell didn't they send it through schiphol airport amsterdam?

Well, my copy still didn't turn up in the post, so if I hadn't bought a second copy from the shops then I wouldn't have been able to play all weekend, and I don't get that much time to play during the week. Especially at the moment as I'm getting married in 2 weeks and there's loads to do!

I know it'll cost me extra in postage to send it back, but I can do it from work, so it's not really much hassle.
