GazChap Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I've just ordered Aftershock from play.com - I was expecting it to say "Due for release on 21/10/2005, pre-order now" but it actually says "In stock, usually dispatched within 24 hours." Anyone else seen this and ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infael Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Well, today;s the 18th. Perhaps Cenega went into overtime, producing game cds and boxing em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycow Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Checking my preorder with play.com, it states under the "status" section that it is "order placed". These are the "status'" that play describe: Unprocessed orders You may edit the delivery address details for unprocessed orders. In stock The item is in stock and will be processed once your order is confirmed. Preordered The item has not yet been released. Awaiting stock The item is temporarily out of stock Processing Your credit or debit card is being authorised. You cannot cancel an ordered item at this stage. Packing Your item is being packed and should be dispatched shortly. You cannot cancel an ordered item at this stage. Card declined Your credit or debit card has been declined. Please check your billing details, and ensure that there are adequate funds in your account. No where on there is "Order Placed", so I dunno what's going on!

Pete Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm assuming you've probably already tried this but give them a call/email them to find out what's gone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycow Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm assuming you've probably already tried this but give them a call/email them to find out what's gone on.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah, I haven't, busy with Uni work (3rd year physics, not fun), so getting a game which I'm going to spend lots of hours on early isn't a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm assuming you've probably already tried this but give them a call/email them to find out what's gone on.A guy at the official boards said that his order at Play.com were in the "Processing" stage YESTERDAY. I'm guessing Play.com is a little early this time as well (like they were last time). Why can't Amazon.co.uk ever be that quick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Give us some first impressions soon then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzarr Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 First impression = OH MY GOD IT DOESN'T WORK! I think either the installshield is bugger or my computer sucks Having rebooted (which you have to do but it doesnt tell you ) and put in the cd-key , located on the actual cd itself for some reason , it worked :> Wow Feels like a brilliant game so far. The path mapping is alot better than previous games. One thing that does annoy is it doesn't auto queue your orders :-( Gotta hold shift damn it Having a few problems acquiring extra bases , I've been offered one in Riga by the 'borgs but I can't build anything there for some reason ^_^ Edit :- Been playing for 4 hours or so now and I haven't moved once to use the toilet/eat/smoke so I think its safe to say its addictive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungadin Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Awesome Xzarr. I ordered my copy today and am awaiting its arrival eagerly. How's the weapon selection? Are there a lot of different weapons to choose between, or is it just 1 machinegun, 1 SMG, 1 shotgun etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kret Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Xzarr, I believe autoqueu only works when the game is paused, not when time is flowing. The demo behaved like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzarr Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ah sucky Cheers Kret Awesome Xzarr. I ordered my copy today and am awaiting its arrival eagerly. How's the weapon selection? Are there a lot of different weapons to choose between, or is it just 1 machinegun, 1 SMG, 1 shotgun etc.?

lgonggr Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 well, I just ordered from play.com because I'm hoping to get the collectors edition too. I'm not willing to shed an extra 15 euros for it, but if they make a mistake once they might do it again (need a praying smilie here It's also really cheap and FREE delivery !
