Would more than likely boil down to An Post being useless and delivering some time next week

Haha, is the Irish postal service called An Post? As in the Gaelic phrase, 'The Post'?

That is classic.

Another Simplygames order checking in! Came about 20-30 mins ago.

Incredible.

Hotdamn

Seriously guys, impressions!!!

 

[Stereogatari]

My copy has fucking arrived and I'm not home until Sunday. I didn't expect it to be delivered until Saturday.

Who the fuck would have thought a holiday in glorious Turkey could have its downsides.

 

[Blastoise]

Is there a day 1 patch?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Ugh I take it no GAME deliveries were made then?

GAME said they'll be sent tomorrow

 

[Roufianos]

Doesn't seem like it.

Ah damn.

When I pre ordered it back in March I guess I knew I was giving up the chance to get it early.

 

[Hale_C]

There's no day 1 patch, also you can't log on to the servers for online features, unsurprisingly. Wonder when they'll get switched on..

Edit: By day 1 I mean today, so, I dunno, say day -4?.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Yep, that's it. Well Irish not Gaelic ;-)

 

[Roufianos]

GAME said they'll be sent tomorrow

Sent or delivered?

Mine was shipped from them yesterday morning.

 

[Vampirolol]

I'm disappointed, no street date broken in Italy! What happened to my country?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Another Simplygames order checking in! Came about 20-30 mins ago.

Incredible.

Same! I had no idea what it was at once first seeing it's so early. They must have sent them out on Tuesday I guess.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Sent or delivered?

Mine was shipped from them yesterday morning.

Sent tomorrow, the dispatch email was incorrect. I asked them myself because I knew how they worked and they have indeed not been sent yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest.

 

[swearing-circle]

GAME said they'll be sent tomorrow

So maybe we'll get them on Sat?

Edit: Royal Mail is 3-5 working days they don't mention anything about First Class overseas

Crap! Any chance of any shops breaking street date and selling on Friday? Argos? GameStop?

 

[Death Metalist]

Is there a day 1 patch?

The Xbox One version prompted me to download a 700 something MB update.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

GameStop haven't broken street date in years. Argos, maybe. Shit out of look other than that. Argos don't even have it on their website yet.

 

[Heartfyre]

Yep, that's it. Well Irish not Gaelic ;-)

As Gaeilge, technically.

I have my CE charged through Gamestop Ireland, so I'm sure I'll get one. No bank holiday in Ireland, so I'm not expecting any early deliveries.

 

[Roufianos]

Sent tomorrow, the dispatch email was incorrect. I asked them myself because I knew how they worked and they have indeed not been sent yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest.

Ah ok. Thanks for telling us.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

So maybe we'll get them on Sat?

Possibly but I doubt it. GAME can label the packages on the pallets not to go out to their proper locations until Monday to be sent on Tuesday.

Not saying they will but they can do this especially with console/CE of the Game

You got me there!

I'll probably just go digital then for Tuesday.

 

[Dawg]

Got my copy through Belgian retailer.

See you on the battlefield.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Random but If a best buy preorder online is in progress should I be charged soon or do they charge at the time of the preorder?

 

[d9b]

Phantom pain in the arse! ;P

Figured that might be the case. Guh, this wait is awful.

 

[Marvel]

I'm so happy right now I may poop.

 

[Stereogatari]

They were despatched Wednesday. They must have done them extra early to compensate for the Bank Holiday. Usually Tuesday releases are despatched on the Friday.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm so happy right now I may poop.

I had my happiness poop just now. I don't finish work until 5pm though so that happiness was short-lived.

 

[eso76]

What happened to my country?

Small retailers died and GameStops happened.

Had my local pusher been still active you can bet i would be playing right now.

I hope Amazon sends early.
Since they are committing to a day one delivery, they are probably dispatching 2/3 days earlier, so i might get the game on monday, but that's it.
And I can't play on monday anyway.

 

[Marvel]

You were played like a damn fiddle.

 

[Lakitu]

I love the base infiltration of Ground Zeroes. Do we know if there any bases in Afghanistan and Africa that are as big as the one in Ground Zeroes?

 

[Stereogatari]

So...no surprise reversible Shinkawa art?

There are some that are

4 times bigger

This makes me very excited, thanks!

 

[Chariot]

I came.

 

[Lucid07]

Damn, why does my mail have to be delivered around 1PM instead of early like it used to. Oh well, judging off a few posts here I should be getting it off simply today.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

So...no surprise reversible Shinkawa art?

That's one thing that I hate about the steelbook in the CE :/

 

[kubus]

Not expecting any stores to break streetdate here... (Netherlands)

It'll have to be either Mediamarkt or Gamemania. I expect them to sell the game on monday at the earliest

So jelly of all you who have the game already

 

[Arun1910]

Ordered mine from SG at around 3pm yesterday. It still says in process and pending dispatch on the order.

Paid £4.99 for delivery for this and until dawn so if it doesn't turn up by tomorrow I'll be gutted.

Are you in the UK? Why did you pay for shipping?

 

[Thunderbolt]

Was hoping Game would ship my LE Console and CE early, looks like that isn't happening, though. Slightly disappointed, but then I remind myself that I wouldn't have been able to play at all over the bank holiday weekend, so Tuesday is pretty good for me, I guess. Still, five more days...

 

[NZerker12]

I now wish I ordered from simply games, dammit though the steel book from Shopto will be worth the wait.

 

[Jingo]

You re lucky fellas, if im lucky , mine will be delivered in the release date :S

 

[Arun1910]

Alrighty, just got my order from Simply.

This is why I've used them for 3 years :')

 

[Heartfyre]

I accidentally clicked on the spoiler thread rather than this one and realised in the moment before it loaded up. I clenched my eyes shut and shouted "No! NO!" until the danger had passed and I had safely hit back a few times.

We live in dangerous times.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

So...no surprise reversible Shinkawa art?

Nope. Unfortunately not.

 

[normalmode]

You're welcome to PM if you want a tip on a super easy way to get the Fox emblem

 

[SomTervo]

So, what, at least 6 people ITT have The Phantom Pain now, in hand?

Post goddamn impressions!!!

I'm from the Netherlands and I should have my copy either tomorrow or Saturday

 

[EqicDodoO]

Where did you order from?

 

[ZeroX03]

Interesting, that's how they've changed the scoring. No penalty per kill, rather one flat bonus for no killing. That's a better way to do it.

 

[Coolsambob]

So Game's 1-2 days for delivery is more like 7?

Goddamn, I hate Game.

 

[kubus]

I'm from the Netherlands and I should have my copy either tomorrow or Saturday

You can't tease me like this and not say where you ordered it from

Unless you're getting a review code...
