    They wont.

    I used to work in XV, the staff are under strict instructions not to release it early. Think a few years ago the company got in big trouble over an early release and now they are very strict.

    The annual "will they release it early" hysteria is generated by the fact that some shops will jump the release date. Last year was the only year I remember where the Pro Evo or FIFA release hasn't been jumped.

    Personally, I prefer to just pick it up Friday.

    My order with the hut has been dispatched! :D

    Should have it friday, or monday or tuesday at the latest, but not dying to get it, since I wont get time to play it this weekend anyway!

    Less than €40 for the special edition with 3 DKNY boxers included, good deal.

    They seem to do this with all pre orders. Same deal for BF3 and the new need for speed. It was a good deal without the boxers, less than 40 quid for me since I used a 10% off code too.

    Yeah, remember getting the email saying the jocks dispatched and it only took a couple days after that to arrive. However just noticed in the email that it might take 10-15 days for FIFA to arrive even though its says the game has already dispatched this morning. Hopefully its just a generic email and we dont have to wait over 2 weeks!!

    If I don't get it before Friday with gamestop i'm done with online pre-ordering. Probably cheaper and easier to just go to local Xtra Vision

    Did any of the lads that got a dispatch email choose express post?

    Maybe they're sending the standard post orders this evening to make sure they get there on release day.

    Kind of defeats the purpose of paying extra for express post though.
