Has your order been sent/arrived yet?
 

Just a little thread to see who's copies have arrived and been sent. Please reply with the shop/place you got your game from. :grin:

I got an email this morning saying mine had been posted and was on its way from Game

ah nice, ordered mine from zavvi but no email yet :(, but i'm patient.

I got my copy this morning, been playing it all day..










...signed pinokio!

Last I checked, my pre-order went from "pre-order ships on 9/2" to "pending/verifying"

lol i will look in the gameshop tomorrow in my city maybe they have the thing in early and otherwise i have to wait till the day after:)

damn u ur lucky

i cant play much tmw but i wanna play today!!!!!!!!!

Where did you get yours from?

lol he signed it Pinokio, other words hes lying ;-) His nose is going to be as long as a pito tube

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

lol it took me 2 looks to get it, i was like "its because hes a MOD and he recieved a Gold plated case with shells from a 20mm and a free pilots license"

Ha! He almost got me too.

That would be the Sh!t.

I've never seen the name Pinokio signed before...

i fell for it too damn

Me too... though it's spelt Pinocchio so didn't think anything of it... :rolleyes:

(trying to cover up for falling for it! :grin: )

Mine's ordered from Woolworth's... still no despatch mail. It'd better be here on release date - I've made plans for the Wife to go out for the evening!!

mine should be dispatched tonight from amazon on 1st class, hopefully it'll be here tomorrow, shame i'm going to a funeral and a mates house and wont get to play it until the evening :(

woolies? r u nuts another fall in stocks and they r dead im suprised some1 bought em

Yeppers, I think tomorrow is going to have to be the magic day.

Sendit.com - Awaiting Stock Pick - Est dispatch: 04/09/2009. :sad:

If it isn't posted tomorrow then I'm cancelling my order and picking it up from Game on Friday lunch time.

£27 mate, they're holding their own online - less pikeys for people to do battle with ;)

They say it'll be with me on release date...

well if mine turns up tomorow i might me stuck down by some unknown illness preventing me from attending work :)

yeh its called SWINE FLU

Mine was despatched today by Shopto.net. :)

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

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).

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

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!

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.

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

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

My copy from Play.com still says 'Packing'

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

mine too says "Packing". ive never pre-ordered from play.com before so im not sure if they will deliver day before, on release day or after.

Its certaily not looking good

all we can do is cross our fingers

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

Ditto.

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.

depends on your sexual preference :p

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I just got my call from Ashley! :grin:

Just got my automated call from Ashley too.

Sweetness!

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

just got a text saying "GameStop:Your IL 2 Sturmovik oreder avail Thu PM. Bring game trades to reduce price."

YEAH BABY!

I do this weekly. :-|

Amen, to that!

Just got the same text, one more day (looks like I'm going to be a little under the weather on Friday:mrgreen:)

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.

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.

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...

Standby for univeral frustration:mad:

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??

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.

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

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:

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.

@ 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.

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.

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

Yeah that remark got old REAL fast, in my opinion. :cool:

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:

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.

God help you if you're lying to us.

If I'm lying then you can cancel my subscription to the resurrection and send my credentials to the house of detention, ...I got some friends inside.

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

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.

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

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.

What if he's flying for the Free French forces, or maybe the Normandie-Niemen?

LOL!!! yea i read that

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

y is 1c pulling our legz, y beat around the bush when u could beat straight through it......cant they just post actual a date..?????b 4 i go cuckoo:eek:

Got dispatched yesterday by shopto, it should be with me in a few hours :D

I can't wait to try and get to grips with a real flight sim on my console finally.

A very real and ever present danger of course......

Checked my Gamestop pre-order status.......
Backordered. :(
I hope it's just Gamestop being retarded, and the Fed-Ex fellow will be bringing me a package tomorrow. >.>
At the very least, I'm hoping for FRIDAY..Cuz I've got Friday and Saturday off work for the first time in forever. That'd be an awesome matching-up of destiny, eh?
...<insert little-girl crying here>

Backordered? That sounds serious. I hope you're not getting screwed on this deal.

Well if they get it there and not here I am laying out a flight plan for I68.
