Raise Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 My Play.com DVD copy just shipped today. Frustratingly late (probably a week, all told), but the price is right so I can see the tradeoff. edge.ooer.com needs warming up a bit too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragglerock Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I just posted news on ooer, but it says "if it is interesting and relevant we will publish" so I dont expect to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriot Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 There's a bloody postal strike on in dublin at the moment which means that my UT2004 DVD won't arrive for about another week! I also haven't received my copy of MGS:TTS. This is just my luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybernetix Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 yep mine just shipped from play.com, time to take back UT2k4 to game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raise Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Just got an email from Play.com: "Thank you for your pre-order of 'Unreal Tournament 2004 (DVD Version)'. At Play, we do try ensure that all pre-release games are dispatched so that they are delivered on the day of release. Unfortunately, on this occasion due to a supplier delivery problem we have been unable to do this. However, all orders have now been now been dispatched and you should receive your copy in the next couple of days. By way of an apology, we would like to offer you a £2 discount off your next purchase from Play.com. Please see below for details of your voucher." So that's nice of them. Naysayers will probably 'pfft' at their day of release claim, mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlighty Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I ordered it for about 5 seconds yesterday and then cancelled it as I didnt know whether I definitely wanted it or not. Got that email earlier as well, so have placed my order for £15.99 for it, with the £7.50 rebate voucher as well its pretty damn cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulsemyne Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'll say this for it, its fucking stunning in multiplayer. The netcode is smooth as silk and it even runs well on my Geforce fx 5200!. Excellant stuff, now if I could only get the hang of Unrealed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisN Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 That'll run it, though you might have to turn off a few of the fancier effects to get the most speed. PS. Fraggle.. your news was posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My partner will be sad the demo runs fine for me on my laptop. p4 1.6ghz mobile radeon 7500 [64mb] it helps that the laptop has 512mb ram. so i don't see why it shouldn't run well on you're comp.

Sng Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 UT2k4 doesn't look like it needs a monster to play it. Graphically it's not THAT special and is highly scalable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechamonkey Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 mine came this morning from play, buggered dvd aaargh. I cant send the rebate off either, my receipt is dated february and it needs to be between march 19th and may19th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragglerock Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Mine is waiting for me when I get home! still no answer from Play.com about my 'late pre-order' cashback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteasyfree Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I had mine through the post this morning WOOOOO! Played it for a while and I have to say that it's extremely playable. The specs are turned medium-high on my machine and it's not even batting an eyelid. I'm gonna whack everything to stupidly high when I get home and see what my PC thinks of it. I can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait It scared the shit out of me when I whacked everything up full as for some reason my speakers were turned up full and upon selecting high for the last setting it decided to shout 'Holy Shit' at me.

footle Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Text-To-Speech is the world's weirdest feature when people (like me) hit Team-Say at inappropriate moments and end up "saying" adsddddddwwwwddddddddddddssssaaaaassssss Quite like how it translates "gg" and "lol" etc. though. So - now that people have the game... are we playing it tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sng Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I had to turn it off in the end, just got on my nerves! It's funny when you turn it on for chat though, and go in a busy chat room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleydb Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Damn it! mine still isn't here from MX2. My mate doesn't have his from Play either. Is there anywhere that definitely has DVD versions in so I can cancel my order and get it tomorrow/Friday? Don't want to pay more than £19 though...
