GTA:IV preorders, shipping, shop dates, times etc

[CraigO]

Anyone have a Zavvi online order saying anything other than 'In Progress'?

Mine was 'despatched' as of this morning.

My Special Edition 360 version is on its way from berskhire from amazon land. ITS IN THE VAN! ITS ON THE ROAD!

Normal or special edition?

whats you delivery estimate then?

[CraigO]

Normal or special edition?

Standard, ordered on the 10th April, if it's any help.

[Nate Dogg III]

Ah. Mine's the special and I only ordered it last Thursday - was listed as in stock though so if it doesn't get sent today I shall be calling down the fire and brimstone.

[Escobar]

Even if I went and bought it from Tesco tonight at £35... (assuming that's what they sell it for) I'd still have to pay for Live on top of that... 3 months costing about £15, right?

So it makes little difference, no?

Make a new Live account and get a month free.

[blackplastic]

Mine too, special edition on the way. sadly my delivery estimate is 30th April.

That's weird because mine still hasn't despatched (despite ordering in June 07) and yet my delivery estimate is still 29-30th.

[Harry]

Everyone think all the Asda's will be really busy then? Might it be worth it to get there half an hour early?

Not Buckinghamshire? Maybe my brain is confused but I thought it was.

I ordered a special edition from Zavvi over a month ago and it's still 'In Progress'.

[moo]

Still nothing on my HMV/Special Delivery tracking no. so I expect Royal Mail will be sending this out today. Good thing it's it's a pre-9am delivery so it should be nice and early.

Don't be ridiculous.

360 or PS3?

I got an email from zavvi this morning with this update:

Thank you for your recent order placed for Grand Theft Auto IV [Xbox 360

Special Edition] which is due for release on 29th April.

We are sure that you are eagerly anticipating its arrival, so would like to

give you an update on your order.

Your order for GTA IV is currently in "back order" status. This means that

we are waiting for stock to arrive from our supplier.

I only ordered it on Thursday as well due to the 'in stock' claims.

God damn waiting game

360. And I've not had that email yet.

Someone's getting a kick in the cunt. And it's not me.

[Timmo]

Don't be ridiculous.

I got there 20 minutes early for the midnight of Halo 3, and the queue was already 100 strong. I think half an hour is sensible, and it's what I'll be doing.

[Eighthours]

Everyone think all the Asda's will be really busy then? Might it be worth it to get there half an hour early?

Yeah, I'd do that. I'm still deciding whether I'd rather hit Asda or Tesco.

Prepare to feel incredibly uncomfortable in the company of geeks, teens, chavs and smellies. They even try to talk to you.

[PDogg]

Shipped from Shopto this morning, should be with me tomorrow.

Going to go to Asda anyway, I think I need this tonight.

Bastard.

Still no word from shopto for me. I'm slowly going crazy.

[Vimster]

Which Asda are you going to?

[Simmy]

I'm really quite worried, still no e-mail from shopto.net

[Super Craig]

Make a new Live account and get a month free.

If you're going to do this, make sure you do it through an Xbox and not the web site or you won't get the free month.

[Unlighty]

They are getting another batch in later today, and they will be posted out then!

[PopeSmokesDope]

Hmmm, Amazon says my Spec Ed has just shipped, but the estimated delivery date is wednesday....

Going to give it till lunch time tomorrow then...

[Shepperton]

Count me in on the nothing no email from shopto club as well

[Strawp]

Any Gameplay orders arrived yet? I'm at work.

[Majora]

I had an e-mail off shopto yesterday saying my SE had been dispatched. Obviously it won't be dispatched til today though. I'm still worried mind, they're obviously a bit of an amateur operation and while they've never let me down before I can see how they might struggle with a game like this.
