Someone just posted that their amazon order updated to shipping soon. If its from a nearby location, its possible to get it Monday no?
It is I just watch the final shoot out for the most part, gotta love that white mansion!

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead......your next stop, the LOS SANTOS zone.
Can't wait for tomorrow

Collateral is a really good movie. I'll watch Heat tonight, high expectations here!

This is also my experience with Amazon and RDD, there's really nothing to worry about. The worst thing that has happened with a Amazon RDD pre-order was a damaged case with RDR, all I needed was a case since the disc wasn't damaged but they ended up shipping out a new copy via over night to replace it.
Don't worry, UPS doesn't typically pick-up on Sundays AFAIK. It'll be picked up Monday, maybe early, early Monday and be at your location Tuesday.
I also never have gotten it early. Ive had my package delayed by shipper intentionally before. Someone may get it early but amazon is commonly on top of that because they don't want to be responsible for breaking street date.
Haha you've clearly never ordered release date delivery from Amazon UK, when it will turn up anything from a day to a week late, but never at release!
For reddit users who are weary of spoilers (and those damn spoilery post titles).
I suggest getting the Reddit Enhancement Suite. A free plugin for reddit which adds a lot of extra features, for example; you can completely remove individual subreddits from your feed.
Just as the leaks hit, a particular post had a very subtle spoiler in it's title so I removed /r/gaming and /r/GrandTheftAutoV from my feed leaving nothing left to chance. You aint going to get me, not this close!

I'm in the US.
A long shot, but worth a try:
SweGAF, any of you ordered from Dustin Home? Do they usually deliver on release? If I don't get it Tuesday I'm going bananas!
Hi, SweGAFer here, your safest bet is going to a store on the 17th. That's what i'm doing.

Never tried Dustin when it comes to games.
But if you dont get it just send it back when it arrives and buy a copy at your local Mediamarkt/Elgiganten/SIBA or whatevs.
Remember, COOP deems the game too violent so you wont find it there.

Knowing the Swedish postal service, I wouldn't expect the game any earlier than Wednesday if you order today.A long shot, but worth a try:

I ordered it about two weeks ago, due to the student discount that I apparently still had and free shipping. But I'll probably buy it in store and send the other one back if it doesn't come by Tuesday.
Any info on what the price will be in the bigger stores, such as Elgiganten or MediaMarkt? Don't they usually have ridiculous price wars on bigger releases? I'm located in Gothenburg fyi.
They won't. Amazon is amazing. If you have release day then you're good.
I'll let you know what mine says once it's downloaded and installed.
Do what I did, cancel it and preorder at gamestop for the midnight launch.
collateral is f'n awesome, my fav tom cruise movie, he needs to play the bad guy more often
I scouted a couple of stores yesterday and none gave away any sign of a price. I bet MediaMarkt is going to be on par with Webhallen; 549 kr.
Göteborgare här med.
I'm in the UK.
Most of UK-GAF seem to have had their copies dispatched or dispatching soon, but my pre-order still says 'not yet dispatched'.

I wish I could relive the experience of watching Heat for the very first time again. In my opinion it is the best action/thriller movie of all time. Nothing tops it. Al Pacino & De Niro at their finest.
Your best bet is to probably save yourself the hassle, and preemptively cancel the order.
If it dispatches now, there's a chance it could come after Tuesday, and practically no chance of getting it Monday. Personally, I'd cancel it and just pick the game up at ASDA mid-day Tuesday, or earlier.

Believe in amazon I got prime tho they have never failed me stay strong bro
I'm already taking for granted that I'll be playing the game on the 18th. If it comes before, I'll be happy and surprised.
It's all about setting expectations, dude.
The delivery estimate still says the 17th, so I'm still holding out hope.
It's also £5 cheaper than everywhere else, so even though I'll be pretty annoyed if it comes a day late, I don't want to spend an extra £5 just to play it a day sooner.

I've ordered a dozen release games at Amazon this generation and I haven't got a game late yet. Sounds like you live in an incredibly unreliable postal zone.
