thisboyshouts Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i went with play.com, not because of the customisable cover (?!) but because when i ordered Fallout 3 on the 360 from them, it arrived two days before the release date Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Theres not much gain anymore of getting the game early as you'd have to wait till 00:00 in the morning of the 14th in order to activate the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Theres a new authentication process this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_Got_Booted! Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Plus the patch wont be out till Friday either so there is little gain in getting the game earlier this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4RG4 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 http://www.clan-games.co.uk/ 20quid Never used them before though. I would imagine you'll be able to play the game (i.e register) should you get the game a day early! Otherwise that'd be quite tight... if you've paid for a legit copy you should be able to play it. Same with people getting any game a little early, e.g. Little Big Planet, you could register/go online straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Plus the patch wont be out till Friday either so there is little gain in getting the game earlier this year If you get the game a day early and are able to authenticate early then you will still be able to start the game properly then continue when you get the patch since they are normally save game compatible.

Same with people getting any game a little early, e.g. Little Big Planet, you could register/go online straight away. apparently not, remember reading a while back that you will have to wait till the 14th to register it. at least it stops shops from releasing it a day or two earlier. plus the patch (which is very much needed in my case) wont be out so its even less pointless to get it early. the box will just be sitting there and you know you wont be able to play it. how frustrating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasewood Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I thought you could still but the game but only had to authenticate if you wished to play without the CD or am I getting this all Pete Tong??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4RG4 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Heh Thing is, I bet you 90% of shops wont know this (I didnt) and it'll still be released early. Bit of a shame if you cant register early but not biggie. Patch however... I'd like to install it and await the patch, installers can be... you know, fun...

Eduardo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 sounds like a ploy to stop piracy and it getting released illegally a bit sooner like last year it was out maybe a week before release. i still think it will get cracked easily and this silly little authentication will mean nothing.

SmurfDude Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I wouldn't bother with play.com, there's no point getting it early because of authentication and it's more expensive than several other places Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSCCG Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Theres not much gain anymore of getting the game early as you'd have to wait till 00:00 in the morning of the 14th in order to activate the game. 00:00 in New Zealand will be earlier than anywhere else, I wonder if we get to authenticate early?

bcooper Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Someone has mentioned the fact that you can get your name on the cover as a pre-order incentive, so just to say HMV might not be the cheapest place to pre-order but you do get an FM09 mini mouse.

mag man Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Unless you have a mac and then I think I read that the authentication process hasnt changed you dont get the patch though so not much point (especially if there is a data update incldued) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkpunk Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Has anyone used that Clan-Games.co.uk before? Never heard of them before and the price is really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
encore69 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 yet again another thread opened without doing a search. You will find that a thread documnting all pre-orders is near the top of the first page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
