Anyone from UK got their copy today? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Dec 24, 2009 8:27 am

Just checked my email:

One sent yesterday saying it's been dispatched

One sent today saying my preorder code to get the Caravan Pack from the PSN? I thought it'd be like behind the manual in the box?

Nope, not today, but it's supposed to be released tomorrow so I can't really complain (just be insanely jealous of all you lucky ones!). My account says it's been dispatched so I will get it tomorrow no doubt. I only hope it's for the right platform, as it seems Amazon has had a bit of trouble concerning the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions...

- If you preordered New Vegas, where did you preorder it from?
Pre-ordered the collector's edition for PS3 from GAME.co.uk

- Has it arrived today?
Yes, my copy arrived earlier today.

- Do you have any preordering experience from this site before this purchase? If so, when do you normally get what you're preordered?
All the games I have ever pre-ordered from GAME.co.uk (so far this total is 6 games) have arrived before their release dates, some even arrived two days before and
on one occasion even three days earlier (Uncharted 2).

If you are concerned about the status of your order OP, simply send a direct message to GAME.co.uk's Twitter page, I did this myself two days ago when trying to find out why my copy of New Vegas hadn't dispatched yet - with the end result being that they confirmed that my copy had actually been dispatched.

I was having the same problem. The Orders page said it was the PS3 I had ordered (Even though it was 360 I ordered) I emailed and was reassured it was a glitch on the website and I would get the 360 version. Then I got the dispatch email today which said they had sent a PS3 version. I emailed again and was told it was another error and I WILL get the 360 version.

Needless to say if I find a PS3 box when I open the envelope I won't be happy >:(

Play.com

- Has it arrived today?
No. But I was hoping it would because I had an email on Tuesday saying it had been dispatched. Must have just missed the Royal Mail boat!

- Do you have any preordering experience from this site before this purchase? If so, when do you normally get what you're preordered?
I've only ever pre-ordered 3 times before & the games have always arrived on the release date.

Oooh, I just checked mine and it says that the PS3 version has been dispatched! I also (stupidly!) signed up to a discussion on the website concerning the botch up, and my inbox is now flooded lol

Considering the amount of people that this seems to have happened to, they must've fixed it - they'd be mad not to.

Hi, it all depends on what/how you ordered. If you ordered through a Royal Mail delivery (usually described as standard,1st class, 2nd class etc) then you won't have to sign, and it will come at the same time as your post usually comes. but if you've chosen recorded delivery, you will have to sign. Royal Mail do recorded deliveries, so it should come at the same time as you usual post. If it's delivered through a courier, then I don't know when it will turn up, but you will have to sign. Hope that helped

I'd hope so. If not, let's just say the're going to have a lot of PS3 versions of the game that will suddenly be returned

Shopto.net Best place to get games.

- Has it arrived today?

Yep, 1pm

- Do you have any preordering experience from this site before this purchase? If so, when do you normally get what you're preordered?

I always get my games from this Site as its the best and 90% of the time you will get it the day before. Thursday...

This is the same for me. Shopto.net are generally cheaper than most other places as well

One of the things about being old is that time moves faster (or at least seems to) than it did when I was young.

The above statement was true up till about 3 hours ago when it started moving slower and slower as the 1 am deadline approaches. For the love of Vivec, can somebody please set timescale to 100 for me!

45 minutes to go, wooooo :ahhh:

Hey guys - just a few quick question for everyone in the UK.

- If you preordered New Vegas, where did you preorder it from?
- Has it arrived today?

Lastly:
- Do you have any preordering experience from this site before this purchase? If so, when do you normally get what you're preordered?

I preordered from GAME, purely based on the fact that most people I know who preorder from GAME get it one day before release. Apparently not. This happened the same with Red Dead Redemption from HMV, but that STILL hasn't arrived (I was so itching to play it I bought it from Tesco the day after release. The only reason I think it hasn't arrived is some bugger from the post office nabbed it.)

I BETTER get this game tomorrow, absolutely dying to play it!

I too ordered from GAME because they usually do deliver a day early. No deliveries today

- If you preordered New Vegas, where did you preorder it from?
I ordered the Collector's Edition from Gameplay

- Has it arrived today?
Yes. But as I was at work i can't collect it until Saturday

- Do you have any preordering experience from this site before this purchase? If so, when do you normally get what you're preordered?
Yes. I've ordered many games from them and they generally arrive on release day or the day before.

Then you'll probably get it through your usual post, no signing

Just make sure it can fit through your letter box if you don't plan on being on being around, otherwise they'll take it back to the mail centre.

WOW! You actually got RD:R without pre-ordering?! I thought I'd be fine if I didn't, but in my town I went to GAME on release day. SOLD OUT. Sainsbury's; SOLD OUT. Tesco; SOLD OUT. Independent Gaming Store; SOLD OUT. It was very frustrating.

OT: I pre-ordered in store from GAME. Going to collect it in 30 minutes hopefully.

I pre-ordered my copy of New Vegas from Game. It hasn't arrived at my door today. (on its release day of all days) I really think I should have ordered through express delivery instead of standard Royal Mail delivery cos a friend of mine got his copy yesterday (by putting it down as an express delivery) whilst me and another friend who ordered as standard delivery are still waiting :sadvaultboy:

Yeah I have ordered from Game previously and had no problems at all. The last item I ordered was Dead Rising 2: Zombrex Edition and it arrived a day early.
