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!

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

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....

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!

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.

I got mine today with my t-shirt. Not a lot of people online on the ps3 but seeing as it is supposed to come out the 8th i'm not worried. The sp will keep me busy for hours, so much to do.

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!!!!
