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

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.

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 .

edit: i'm playing on simulator and i refuse to not use the cockpit mode

yep i feel your pain, over at zavvi mine is the same. I think is because the lazy ******* pricks over at royal mail have gone on strike. Excuse my language but i am seriously outraged. I've NEVER had problems with pre-orders before.

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!

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!

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....
