Is there any fucking way to instruct Amazon to allow the delivery carrier to drop the package without signing? I'm so sick of this shit, sometimes they drop it and sometimes they won't leave it. I'm never home when they attempt delivery so I'm always stuck waiting a few extra days to get my deliveries. Totally defeats the purpose of paying for one-day shipping or Amazon Prime.

It's totally random. I bought a $200 TV stand from them a few weeks ago, and they left it by my garage. They've left plenty of games/movies I've ordered by my garage before. They wouldn't deliver Uncharted 3 without a signature for some reason, and now they're doing the same with my MGS LE. At first I thought it was a UPS thing, but this time it's FedEx.
Sometimes I HAVE been home and they just come up to my garage and don't even bother to check if anyone's home, then they don't make the delivery because no one was available to sign for it.
Now I'm going to have to wait until the weekend so I can get it left at a FedEx facility and pick it up. Fucking annoying.

I know if you sign up for My UPS on the UPS site you can opt out of signing for packages.Pai Pai Master said:

Absolutely.
Leave a note on the door. Say "UPS: please leave package from Amazon here. <your name> <your signature>."
It works. They'll deliver it and take the note.

Funny thing is, I tried that once. Left a note at my garage. Guy went to my front door instead and left a delivery attempted note there. :lol
I'll try both next time. Just frustrated...was so ready to go home and crack open my LE.

I find it easiest to call your delivery company. Amazon has told me before that they can't leave directions. And yea note works too I just don't like to broadcast that I'm not home /paranoidPai Pai Master said:

Both MGS2 and 3 have stood the test of time. Same couldn't be said for most of these HD remasters.
I mean MGS2 is almost 10 years old at this point.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that either but if I have to, I will. If it's possible to request a hold at a FedEx or UPS location prior to the delivery attempt, I'd be okay with that. I could just pick it up on the way home instead of having to wait.
It's just bugging me that this is only now starting to happen. I've lived here for a year and ICO/SotC Collection was the very first game I bought from Amazon that didn't get delivered because of a signature requirement.

My FedEx won't hold until delivery is attempted, I kid you not. That means I have to wait for them to miss my package in order to pick it up at another place. So I just tell them that I give permission to leave the package at my own riskPai Pai Master said:
And I saw your edit...happened to me too then UPS left a laptop I ordered on my doorstep lol

My mom is visiting and I'm pretty sure she was home when FedEx just attempted delivery haha. I'm about to call her and ask, they've done it before where they just come up to my garage and assume no one's home because I'm parked inside. I've sat on my porch trolling the guy and called him out on it as he goes back to his truck. I'm a bastard.

Can someone post impressions of PW? How did the transfer from PSP to HD turn out? How are the textures and graphics? And how easy/fun is it to coop?
My 60gig broke a day before uncharted 2 was released. Lucky for me I had ordered a slim a few days prior to that and when FedEx delivered it, they knocked on the door once, 4 seconds later I heard a loud noise. Yup, the guy dropped the box on the ground and left.Wario64 said:

Yikes, so they knocked/rang?Wario64 said:
Sometimes my FedEx won't even attempt and then I check my account to see that delivery was attempted

Yea, some drivers are assholes. Sometimes I hear the truck and I open the door right when they drop it.Wario64 said:
If they leave and run without ringing bell, a complaint can be made. You guys can fill a complaint form on UPS and FEDEX sites and it's easy. They take it seriously and do followups. I did it for both sites and don't have any issues anymore.
As someone who has never played a Metal Gear Solid game before, what would be the best way to tackle the series fresh? Note: I probably won't be playing MGS1 because it's not a part of this collection, nor do I really feel the desire to play an old PSX game.
Should I play them in 2 > 3 > 4 > Peace Walker order? Or should I play 2 > 3 > Peace Walker then 4? I am mostly concerned about story continuity, which as I understand is maybe a pretty lol-worthy statement, considering the series we're discussing.

I would say play it in order so you can appreciate how the franchise has evolved. They are all good games, just belonging in different eraDaBuddaDa said:
At least play 4 to get a feel of the modernized control so PW is easier to transition to

Art book is very well done. I am impressed.

2 is actually a pretty good starting point, due to the nature of the story.

The artbook is really good quality. Nice overall package. Replaced the cover art with the custom minimalist one from the Custom Covers thread, and I'm ready to party like it's 2001.

Was gonna pick this up from gamestop, but the cashier said they didn't have any left. I guess their online inventory tracker isn't up to snuff. Oh well..maybe they'll have it by the weekend.

Wish I got the Limited Edition but November is just a killer month for games so I had to make do with the regualr edition. My copy should be arriving soon and I am excited as hell.
Man, I remember how excited for the game that trailer made me after seeing it. Only thing was I thought a lot of those things said in the trailer was Big Boss starting to go crazy
but it turned out to be another character.
was badass...
(the part about launching the nuclear missile, something being buried with The Boss and her bankrupt beliefs),
From now on, call me BIG BOSS!
