Vane Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It depends on the retailer. For instance, GAME will normally deliver the day before or the day of the release Yep, that's right. Some of us will be playing Thursday evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birger Jarl Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just hope your boss isn't also on here no chance, he repels PC's. if anyone is of the age to remember Beavis n Butthead, he reminds me of Principle McVicker and using a pc makes him nervous ha. Hey ho... still tho, in relation to the original post, £18 is a very reasonable price for the game. Considering how much time we will spend on it, and get a year's use out, it literally is one of the best purchases I make in the year. Times are a slight bit more hard for Birger financially of late, and having FMH09 and the love for it is gonna save me money too as I will be entertained enough staying in playing it. My girlfriend is also content with me playing it whilst she watches her million soaps a day too, very user friendly all round. Behold.... FMH. and fair play to Asda.

macca72 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Asda don't actually deliver it. The 3rd party who does will try their very best to make sure everyone gets the game on Launch day, this will mean some people get it a day early, some a day late.

Birger Jarl Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 hi guys i know its a bit anticipating to be doing so, but i have checked my order status on ASDA website several time today. i did it just and it has changed from....... awaiting stock pick.,.... to....... AWAITING DESPATCH. behold! i hope this means that its physically been packed and is ready to be sent tomorrow in tomorrows post. if i got it for fri that would make my day. i was logging in to cancel the order to go get it on the day, but am happy to see the status has changed. fingers crossed for fri, surely saturday at the latest?

crickie Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 mine is also on awaiting despatch. But it says depatch is friday 14th!!! so its more likely to be saturday.

If it comes saturday i wont be playing it anyway because im off out giging so i wont have time to play it. yeah mine says that too, the date. thing is, its said that since the day i pre ordered. so im hoping thats something related to the release date that SI set and not linked to a despatch of sent out on friday. i hope. yours says it too. good. i cannot remember the last time i had a saturday post, there had better be one if necessary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birger Jarl Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thursday, 2.30pm. Checked the Asda site still says Awaiting despatch. Optimistically i hope this is a belatedness to update the site for the many people who ordered FM off Asda. Someone probably data enters after the Royal Mail man has collected what outgoing parcels were sent, maybe like 6-8pm, as I checked several times yesterday and the update in order status happened in the eve. Hopefully. As I am home now and thats it for work this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birger Jarl Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi GuysI use Asda for games more than I do Play.Com... and am waiting for mine from them this time too. Nearly every time though, say for a Fri release, i receive it the Monday or Tuesday after. I hope that is not the case this time round. i hate to quote myself. but yet again, asda have done this to me as said. the postman has been and all i got was a bill. the status says despatched though so tomorrow or monday. the ironic thing is, i'm off to go buy the pc version. and i have two choices. 1- asda close by at £29.99 or 2- gamestation thrice the distance at £27 but trade in FM08. its option 2. boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo asda.

adtranz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 My status has been changed to sent now Jarl, don't know if I have just the invoice as well but will put money on it. Can't do anything about it today as working so like you said Sat or early next week at best. Don't blame you for travelling to get it and shunning ASDA although most suppliers are not delivering today so that makes me feel a little better! Hope you get a P.C. copy. Does this mean you will leave the Handheld forum now! Regards ad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birger Jarl Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 no my friend i will remain, i rarely post on the PC forum, an observer nonetheless. i saw a thread on pc forum saying of the general shop called morrisons, its 24.99, rang up, she has put one behind for me they have 3 copies left after this. was amazed to find on store locater there is a store 6.9miles from my house? i go find. i have never seen it. i'll go take a brad pitt while this 165meg patch is downloading and i'm outta here. good luck with your post service Adtranz (sorry to detract from the FM Handheld thread, just a "heads up" for those devoid by Asda delivery, Morrisons ...
