i pre-ordered godfather 2 like a month ago, and it didn't come thurs (when i expected), friday (which is understandable because of good friday) or yesterday. it annoys me as they said i'd have it for release date, obviously not. order status is still awaiting stock pick and the cheeky thing is they haven't even replied to my queries. IDIOTS. never ordering from them again

You'll have to wait till Tuesday if you don't cancel, I see why you're annoyed but it's nobodies fault, though ASDA could of at least told you and not promised it to be on the release date.

why didnt you just buy it when it came out? or did you want the pre-order code to unlock tommy cipolla?

i wanted to pre-order it anyway, just incase it did run out - very unlikely but it could have. the tommy was a bonus

The game was released on Friday so you should get it Friday, but considering it was Good Friday then you won't, not Saturday either and why would they deliver on a Sunday anyway? Not today either because it's Easter Monday. You might get it tomorrow, if you're lucky. It's your fault for a) expecting it a day early and b) expecting it to be delivered on time around bank holidays.

they said i would get it on thursday, they had it in the shops on thurs so why couldn't they dispatch it on thursday?

Probably because it was released on Friday.

It's your own fault for being 'want want want' and wanting it early.

Why didn't you go to the shops and buy it then?

because its release date was friday and he thought that he might not be able to get if it was sold out, so he pre-ordered it expecting it to come on the thursday when they had it in store.

Adding to what my brother said here this game still hasn't arrived for me lol...

I ordered back in Febuary as that was when it was supposed to be released (or so gameplay.co.uk said) however when the date was pushed back I decided not to cancel and just wait thinking as I would have ordered it like months in advance I'd get it on release day... well erm it didn't come so I checked their website and it says it has been sent on the 7th of April .. well I waited... and waited and waited and nothing came I contacted Gameplay who said that even though I paid for first class delivary I can't make a claim until five working days have gone by... as it was a bank holiday week end as well Friday and Monday did not count... to add insult to the injury I ordered another game from the same site after the Godfather was apprently dispatched with the standard delivary option meaning this would be WITHOUT first class and it arrived the next day lol!!... so here I am more than a week after it had been sent and have to wait for Gameplay.co.uk to make a claim on my behalf with the Royal Mail.. and as it had already been sent I will not be getting any sort of refund on paying for first class delivary (I want that 99p back now!!! :P) and what makes it worse I don't even want it anymore I'm just waiting for it to come now so I can just send it back!!!

They say somewhere they "Try their best" to get it to you on release day or earlier.
I don't think they say they WILL, but please correct me if i'm wrong :)

"Despatched in time for delivery on release day" is what it says, which in my eyes, including an extra fiver for next day delivery seems like release date to me :P

I'm hijacking thread here haha
