play.com are usually really good, however with the debacle of a release by goa i dont think there is much chance of getting it this week, expect it maybe late next week.

Stop trolling Raven. I've already explained to you multiple times that Play will be shipping it as soon as they get stocks. Stocks are being sent to all retailers across Europe (including the UK) tomorrow.

its not trolling, due to the bank holidays over the weekend (post isnt delivered on a bank holiday over the weekend, and very little work is done in the UK) even if its dispatched on thursday we wont get it until wednesday the following week, if its not dispatched on thursday we probably wont get it until the following thursday/friday, play.com seem to be the only place in the UK that are willing to follow the actual (or closest to) release date.

And the release is by all rights a debacle, you just need to see all the confusion from existing players over the release, and lets face it, we wont be seeing many new players as you just dont advertise at all.

anyway, i think people are just going to have to wait, shame.

I agree with Raven here - you do not advertise enough at all. I know a new firm now deals with this, so hopefully it'll change in the near future.

I ought to be able to open the pages of PC Gamer and PC Zone and see some awesome full page adverts. Let's hope we do! ;)

Why would they wait till Thursday to send orders out when they will be receving stocks tomorrow?

There is confusion over the release date because you and a handful of others on this board have created it. I have explained multiple times in multiple threads what is happening and why the listed release date is different to the actual release date. Most other people here seem to have understood my posts. You however continue to act as if I had never posted on the subject.

There is going to be a great deal of publicity surrounding the release - again a point I have made multiple times in threads I know you have read - Most of this publicity is going to peak at around the time of the actual release and at the time of the complete set release. Much of it has already started - magazine and TV advertising for example. More is to come.
