Actually... If I ordered from Simply Games today, next-day delivery, right now/at lunch...

Would it arrive tomorrow for me?

Ask yourself if your Royal Mail delivery guys are speedy and that will be your answer. My Royal Mail department are slow as molasses, so I don't have much hope that it will be today, maybe tomorrow...

Shit... I think they're pretty good. Only problems I've ever had are with Yodel.

The bigger issue is that I've got a big gig on Saturday night, and I'm losing all of tomorrow anyway to 9-5 work then band practice after work till 11pm or so. So even if it arrives on my doorstep at 10am tomorrow, I won't be able to play it until late Friday night, when I'd probably play all night like an idiot.

I reckon I can wait until Saturday morning and buy from my local store, who I'd rather support anyway.

Two days........

Two days

Where do you peeps are getting them from?
Going mental here! ;)

Simply Games!

Shit, I think I'm just going to go for it. Simply Games... please deliver.

Their next-day delivery isn't signed-for is it? It'll just get put through my letter box?

Could you not have used their basic delivery service (royal mail)? That seems to be next day if ordered before 3:30pm.

Hope you get it!

Hopefully gets delivered today from SG, but not optimistic. Only ordered at 230pm yesterday and they sent a text saying it had shipped at 5pm.
 
Not a fan of it, really. Has always caused me troubles and confusion. Guess I'll check it out.

I can't properly play the thing till Saturday, anyway, and by that point my local store will be selling it early. Ach, well.

Can't say i've ever had an issue with PayPal. Most of the horror stories seem to come from eBay. I ordered from SimplyGames in 3 clicks. Add to cart, Checkout, Checkout with PayPal.... done.
 
If I order from Simply Games, what are the odds I get the game before Sunday in France ?

That's risky. If it doesn't make it by Saturday it might come late. Firstly Royal Mail don't operate on Sunday and with Bank Holiday Monday straight after it could a bit close. It might come just before or might come just after release.

Today is going to kill me. I have the game in the post but my postman might not show for another 5 hours as yet, maybe more. Deepest connection to phantom pains for this game is already here, the burning hole in my hand where my copy should be sitting.

Just ordered from the game collection.

Site promises same day dispatch for early orders, anyone else ordered with them? How are they for preorders?
 
Shouldn't have ordered from game. Damn, u never buy CE's but for the last game in my favourite series?

Waiting for a game has never been this hard. Even when I know I could just order from simply and get it tomorrow. Wish I had the money to splooge.

Ordered a couple of games with them, pretty good!

I think it's time to give up hope with my CE coming today.

Don't even know why I'm so bothered, got work until Wednesday.

Watch it come tomorrow and I'll subsequently stay up all night playing it after my shift ends.

All these folks getting the game today – y'all better start posting impressions!!!!

Does sound painless – I'm probably fine waiting until Saturday, though. Plenty to do and play in the meantime. And I'd like to support my local store. Really good guys.

Might check the process out at lunch anyway.

Such an awesome phone wallpaper lockscreen. I wish I had a higher quality version though. Reverse image searching has failed me.

Fuck that is a killer idea.

Edit: shit, yeah even a really reliable reverse image search engine I use turns up nothing on this.
