Hoping for once UPS doesn't blow and delivers my copy in the morning.

Mail order for new releases and expecting it to be there on release day almost always ends in tears

To those who ordered from Amazon.com with release date delivery:

Have you gotten an email yet stating that your order has shipped?

I haven't and the Amazon page says it hasn't shipped.

I've gotten everything on release day (even from ebgames! when I used to buy from them) but it always comes at 8 pm or later because they all ship UPS.

I just checked amazon and they have this:

This portion of your order is being prepared for shipment and cannot be canceled or changed.

Every time I've had release day shipping from amazon, it has always arrived that day by the time I get home from work. Even times when I order it the day before it arrives, they ship it out by next day delivery if it has release date shipping available. Since it is by UPS though don't expect it at 7am.

I prefer amazon simply because I do not have to go to the store to pick it up, it's waiting for me when I get home. If I were to take the day off to play the game, I would order it from b&m to get it as early as possible.

Yea mine says shipping soon - These items are being prepared for shipment, and this portion of your order cannot be canceled or changed.

 

[JackSpadesSI]

Whew! Mine is now "Shipping soon: This portion of your order is being prepared for shipment and cannot be canceled or changed."

I can't say I wasn't worried at all, but that does seem to be par for the course with Amazon.com's release day shipping. I remember for several other games I only got the email notice late (10pm) the night before delivery.

Standard edition shipped from Amazon.. still holding hope for the Collector's.. :\

 

[Pandamonium]

Are any of you with preorders out planning on playing it primarily on a laptop with a 4500 MHD IGP? I want to play the game, but the beta ran painfully slow for me. I'd hate to spend $70 on a game that I don't have the specs to play.

Then you should go out and spent however many dollars it takes on a new comp that this $70 game deserves to be played on.

It was playing fine on my laptop with an 8400M GS.. but I'll typically play on my desktop.

im actually getting worried, it still says my preorder is "shipping soon" however you CAN NOT find the CE on amazon, it simply does not exist when you search for it or anything close to it

Still shows up for me. Check your cc statement if it's charged it's shipping. I've never had a shipping soon item not ship.

This is the first game I decided to do a midnight opening for at Gamestop. Going to get that at like 11:30 as I already paid for the game in full so don't need to wait to pay. I also don't want to watch any of the new trailers to spoil anything for me. I've always ordered from Amazon but it won't come until later in the day.

Just got an e-mail from Amazon saying the CE shipped. Woohoo.

going to a midnight launch tonight :thumbsup:

 

[JD50]

Question for those of you that have done a midnight launch before. Do any of the stores sell the game before midnight? I figured a Walmart employee might not care and sell it an hour or two earlier. I really don't feel like being out till midnight.
