Check ur account. Mine was "sent" thursday too, but on monday it changed back to processing. Then it changed to posted again. So they prob sent it monday. Expect it tomorrow or monday. I'm waiting on the special edition. Luckily i picked up another copy tuesday in Harvey Norman.

Mine just says "Order Placed"

Haven't got mine yet. Said posted Monday, should be in the letterbox today.

Couldn't wait anyway so bought it Tuesday evening.

Special edition was posted Monday and arrived yesterday afternoon by courier. Normally for games/dvd's they just put them in the regular post. I have ordered dvd's that have taken almost a month to arrive =o

Feelgood

Here where do you see whether or not it has posted?. Am I looking in the right place??

TherapyBoy

click either 'order history' or 'outstanding orders' in your account menu

Feelgood

Sound now it says "Awaiting Stock". Play is Gay

Fcuk that gonna cancel my order, GTA 5 will be out by the time I get it...

TherapyBoy

When did you order it? I had mine ordered since the end of last summer or something. Probably put your name in a queue...?

TomCo

I surprised you didnt get done for duty on those play orders.

TherapyBoy

I heard that An Post were gonna hold them and charge the duty on them for C&E but it never happened. If they ask for it I'll pay it

Check the threads on bargain alerts about play.

I stopped dealing with them a long time ago.

TherapyBoy

link?

Feelgood

Why would they charge duty on goods coming from within the EU?.

Order mine on Play about a week ago me thinks, didn't think they would have a waiting list....

I've ordered loads of stuff of play and never got caught. i even got the guitar hero 3 off them and never got charged. Maybe i'm just anxious to get GTA and the wait seems forever. The last game I got off play, Dark sector almost took 2 weeks to arrive:eek::eek::eek:

I ordered ps3 special edition GTA4 on monday 28th got it today 1ST may
Pretty good if you ask me

Predhead

Do yourselves a favour and buy it in the shops in future if you want it that bad. I normally just use play for stuff that can wait! GTA certainly can't wait!

Did play send by courier? If so which one? I'll have to ring em. The B*st*rds can never find my house and i don't think play put a phone number on it!

Nuphor

Ugh, nothing in the post today. Great. Last time I'm doing this to myself. Next time it's a shop or gamesnash.ie.

I've had play.com orders delayed by a company called Mail Trace for a up to a month before, was pretty annoying seeing as they didn't even bother charging me... they just delayed it:mad:

You can hardly blame play.com for it. They use standard post, so once it gets dispatched the order is out of their hands.

Mine was posted friday week ago and still no sign. Luckily I couldn't wait and went down to Tescos at midnight Monday night and secured my copy. Just going to return the play.com one to tescos when I get it or sell it.

Got my copy from play yesterday. Noticed that they are now posted from budapest and so are exempt from EU scanning. This is good for us because now every postman between jersey and my front door has no idea how much the package is worth as they no longer have to state the value.

spav

Mine was dispatched on the 28th (apparently) but still hasn't arrived. Really annoying, preordered it months ago. Going to try and get a copy in town and send the other copy back when it finally arrives.

well you see I did a bad thing. I pre-ordered on play.com, bought a copy on midnight release in tescos, kept the receipt. Played the tescos copy, received the play copy and returned the play copy to tescos for a full refund.

In all I paid internet price for a high-street midnight release. I'm going to hell. But it was worth it.

Play.com have really gone down hill in the last couple of years. They used to be the best out there.

irishpartyboy

I pre-ordered my copy on Play on 22/4. It was posted on 2/5 but still no sign.
