Pre-ordering a game (UK only)

[Sun Flash]

I preorder from GAME. If you do it online and get it delivered to your door, it sometimes arrives a day early (It did with Skyrim and Assassins Creed Brotherhood at least). Plus you can set up a rewards card and save money on future purchases (it also allows for free pre orders I think, if they're not free already)

Add another to Shopto.net . Amazon has pissed me off wih both Arkham City and Skyrim, they say Skyrim will be on my doorstep tomorrow however.

I'm from Sweden, but I order all my games from The Hut(thehut.com). Cheap, no shipping fees and they're safe. All my games from there, which probably exceed 60 of them, have came home to me.

My AC:Revelations was shipped yesterday btw. :>

Support your local GameStation or indpendent retailer! Game and GS are owned by the same parent company but Game is run like a gestapo holiday camp. Also try supermarkets websites, they are quite oftwen the best deal becuase they don't really need to make a profit on things like games, not as much as a dedicated videogames retailer anyway.

I'd get it from GAME, if your going to pre-order and pay the full price may as well get points on a GAME card if you have one.

In my experience Zavvi fail on just about every front. They're awful. Amazon is a pretty good place to pre-order from. If you do that try going for free delivery. I've tested it on more than one occasion and stuff always gets to me quicker that way. Shopto is also excellent. Good prices and super fast reliable delivery. Play.com are also pretty good but not the best but I've used them for years and they've never let me down. Shopto delivers faster though. But if I were you I wouldn't pre-order the game at all. I'm not doing that. I'm waiting until they re-release the game for cheaper with all the DLC like they did with the last 2 games. Unless you are really set on getting an LCE or pre-order things.

I normally go to Play.com. Good delivery, good prices.

Game, double reward points, free delivery and I've never had a game not turn up on or before release day. Plus the games are normally a bit cheaper than in store price and they price check, so if their price drops after you've preordered, you only pay the lower price.

I usually pre order from Amazon.co.uk.

My games generally get here the day before the release. I've only had to wait once and that was due to a Royal Mail strike in town.
