Kevchenko Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Tesco 24 at midnight is probably what I'll do... Although if you pre-order it via steam don't you get it at 9am the day before anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 walked into game and pre-ordered to pick up on release day last year, done the same this year. remember quite a lot of people last year that pre-ordered got the game late, so not taking that chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedthegoat Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well I work for tesco and know for a fact my store will be selling it at 00:01 on the 14th, got my copy reserved already!! What with my discount card and clubcard vouchers won't cost me a penny!! :-) Christ I wish my local Tesco were as efficient. They struggle to put new releases out on day of release, wouldn't mind but it's one of the biggest in the country (at least it was anyway). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlion1986 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm sticking with my pre-order because if I want to go to a shop to get it I have to travel on a train or a bus and though I do regularly use the train to go to uni, Fridays are the only day that I don't!! Mind saying that, if it doesn't come in the post on Friday or Thursday then I'll make the effort to go to a shop to get it, and just return the pre-ordered copy when it arrives.

catafan Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 GO to retailer of cuz! As it happened in the last two years, you could buy your copy from local game shop one or even two days before the official release date, and with the same price as pre-order. What's the reason for pre-order? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca72 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you can wait a day or so after the 14th, maybe the monday, you'll be paying less than 20 quid no problems... In most instances the game will be cheaper in the supermarkets (asda and the rest) in the shop rather than online. The stuff online is bought from different people and sent via 3rd parties.

GioGio85 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 How is game a rip off? ive seen most places sell it for 30 and thats the price I have at Game...plus the free mousey! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLS Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Do you know for definite that it will be on sale at Midnight? As I said in my post that you quoted, I will check with the store in the week before it's due to come out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1980Dan Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 its £37.99 on tesco's website and £24.99 on asda's. Are these likely to be the in-store prices as well?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'll get it from a shop - but I'll wait for the first patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0x0r Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Two words - Amazon Prime. That said, I'm tempted by the mouse. My company provides that style of mouse (but aren't working with HMV unfortunately) so I know they aren't a 20p job... If anyone's interested, i'll try to find out a rough cost for, saay, 10,000 tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ill go tesco because its the nearest but if its too expensive i can just go to ASDA after work, or blockbuster, or sainsburys i guess if im real desperate. Then theres STEAM(won't do this though!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl87 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Midnight at Tesco! Sounds like some low-budget horror movie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonfun1980 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 If you order off most game sities you will get the game a day early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedthegoat Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh how I miss working at Special Reserve.... We used to get new releases come in on the Thursday and our manager would let us buy them, plus we used to get staff discount as well, can remember buying FM05 when it came out on the Thursday for like £12 or something. Wound my mate up something rotten, he would literally beg to come round and play the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamdring Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I will no doubt take my usual lunch time wander into Newcastle on the day of release (or some subsequent day) and take a detour to a shop that sells computer games and buy it. I'm not one of those who can be bothered fussing around trying to find the absolute best deal on something that costs a pittance anyway given how much I play it and that I will be playing it for at least a year.

Big Andy T Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I pre-ordered of play.com last year and got it 2 days before release, and the same for pro 2009 last week so im hoping the same will be done this year!! ( ended up havin 5 mates round on the thurs playin it i shoulda charged!!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuego Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 in the shop as every year but only when i'am pretty sure the game is fully playable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
