Yep that makes sense.
If you use your Parcel Motel UK address then it will dispatch and be with Parcel Motel/Nightline couriers within 24 hours, then PM/Nightline typical take a day or just over to deliver around Ireland. Going by my experience. Apparently PM/Nightline is faster than using normal mail.

To what address? Uk Parcel motel or Irish?

Bladeserver

All sorted. They changed the address and waived the delivery fee which in turn covers the parcel motel. Cheers

Shy_Dave!

Apparently most retailers are being told to keep strict on the release.
I'm guessing best case would be dispatches Monday for a Thursday delivery.

Is the main game downloading for you? Mine says it won't download til the 5th As seems the case for most in EU/AUS regions.

No it's weird it gave me the option of what I wanted to play first Zombies or MP I picked MP thinking it would kick off downloading in the background, but no, the 5th for me as well

Just preordered Black Ops 3 and the season pass for the PS4. Haven't bought Ghosts or AW as I was really let down from what I saw after playing BO2 which I really enjoyed.

I really want them to deliver this year and something inside me is telling me that they will.

opinionated3

I'm of the same opinion as yourself. Preordered yesterday but more in hope that it is going to be good rather than expectation. Finished playing AW after about 3 months cos it was just muck. I'm one of those who wishes for a return to ACTUAL modern warfare and not this fancy futuristic stuff. See how this one goes i guess

Are you getting it to Parcel Motel in Antrim?

Shy_Dave!

It looks like the publisher has placed a UK wide shipping restriction on the game release so they may all be only dispatching from Thursday onwards... May just cancel my order and hope Tesco/Smyths/Argos have a decent price for it..

Where did you hear that? I emailed Simply games to ask them when they are sending them out. If it doesn't leave by tomorrow I may cancel also

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't mind if it's future, modern or past because I really enjoyed Black Ops 2 even though that was relatively futuristic.

I would imagine they do mean the Parcel Motel address, which means it would be delivered on Saturday to your parcel motel depot.

Unless they know the parcel motel address and that it is most likely going to Republic and the send them tomorrow. It is only 8 hours from Simply games to Antrim so delivery to PM should take 1 day....

Bladeserver

Yup, I am going to cancel I think. Just going to buy the digital pack.

People in the Uncharted thread were saying they got the Nathan Drake collection within 2 days of being sent by simply games, so hold off until tomorrow!

UnknownEntity

Am I the only one who preordered from Gamestop?

super_furry

First CoD that I have no interest in since World at War and that was only because I was tired of the setting back then. The DLC set-up of Advanced Warfare left a poor taste in my mouth – I bought the first two DLC pack but not the second two and now I can’t find a game at all because you either have to have all of the DLC installed or none of it. Halo 5, the Taken King and Battlefront will be enough for me this year I reckon.

Luckily I didn't get AW so I'm fairly neutral going into this game.

My copy from the PSN store just started downloading. So looks like the preload issue has been fixed. Thank god, I might actually be able to play on Friday after work now.

Still has not shipped from Simply Games....

heebusjeebus

I've pre-ordered from GreenManGaming. Not sure when they'll send out the Steam Key.
Looking forward to this now, first CoD since BLOPS 2.

Seems like a lot of people including myself are coming to this from Black Ops 2 and not Advanced Warfare.

Yep me too - Been playing black ops 2 for years now

I did try out Ghosts & Advanced Warfare but quickly realised they were steaming piles of sh!te and went back to BLOPS2

Bladeserver

Just cancelled my order and done the pre-order online again.

Shy_Dave!

Would the Supervalu price usually be nationwide?

Couldn't see if this was answered already - is Nuketown a Game.co.uk exclusive?

No, as long as you get an early edition of the game it should include nuketown.
