Read what his post said. The "release date" is 1st of april, however, the companies will get stock, and ship it before that...Mistlin said:Umm...sorry to be the bearer of bad news....but i've just spoken to Play.com and they are still sticking to 1 April as the release date...any more info Requiel?
Mistlin said:Perhaps I wasn't clear....when I spoke to Play.com, they said they won't be shipping it until 1 Apr.
Requiel said:No, as I explained in several threads in General, the release date is still March 25th. Due to problems witha particular very large retailer, the retail release date is 1st April however we are sending stocks to all UK retailers with the exception of Game today. They will be selling it as soon as they recieve stock so if you pre-ordered it from Play.com for example, they will be sending their copies out today or tomorrow in time for the weekend.
Game will be stocking it from the 1st April as they refused to deal with the release in March, as a result we have been forced to give this date as an official retail release date however, in reality the other stores will be selling it as soon as they get stock - which will be from today.
Mostly this is the same as I posted in this thread.
Mistlin said:At this time, my order with Play.com is still showing as "Pre-ordered" - not "Shipping" or even "Packing".
Not looking good for this weekend imo
RS|Phil said:Sadly it's true. No one in the UK is going to be able to play Catacombs over the bank holiday weekend. Play aren't shipping it till the 1st now, just spoken with them myself. Unlike most I've remained patient but this has to be the biggest fuck up of a game release since Elite 2
Funkdocta said:As has been stated by goa in this thread, goa have given a release date as 1st April due to GAME being assholes. But that does not mean that goa are not supplying the other retailers sooner.
So from this I deduce that if goa get their supply to Play.com today then fingers crossed they may ship tomorrow. We can only wait and hope.
