Deathjam Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Are all shopto orders recorded because its not likely I'll be in :/ Yeah, all are recorded.
Chris the great Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 chose to change order to shopto. hope it comes either wed or friday, im at the job center on thursday so wil likly miss it. i guess i could just phone the job center and say i cant make my apointment due to a family situation. though id actualy consider myself a rather bad person then.
dwarf Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 damn, what's the easiest way of getting the pakage then? From the website?
dwarf Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I'm gessing Royal Mail, who else would it be? If I can't sign for it I have to wait another day or two and pay 50p so they can send it to the local post office. Is there no way to pre-arrange that?
Aimless Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I can't give any guarantees, but my postman always signs the packages himself if there's no one in. They're similar in form factor to Play's padded envelopes and should easily fit through normal letter boxes. I've bought 27 games from ShopTo and I've only positive things to say about them.
dwarf Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I'm not too sure if I've had to sign for packages that can fit through the letter box before. I just want to know that I don't have to wait any longer than needed lol.
flameboy Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Well i am with Shopto but i have arrangements so someone should be able to sign. Thena gain frequently i end up having to go to the post office or depot on my way home... See Post Depot is no where near my route home and needs driving to really and I don't drive so thats not an option will stick with GAME,not worth the risk...
Nolan Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Actually PC FPSs are doing decently. Crysis has many mods (since alone it ain't much) stalker clear sky is phenominal. Cryostasis has an interesting look too. Plus there are the non-exclusives that well. I'd prolly type more but the Wii browser is limited and exhausting.
Cookyman Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Play.com preorders update: STATUS Packing: 23/02/2009 What does ‘Packing’ mean? Payment for your order has been successfully processed. Your order is now being prepared for dispatch. Just send the damn thing already! :p

MATtheHAT Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 *Checks ShopTo Order* Yeah......well........don't want it early anyway!*
dwarf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm thinking of leaving a message on my front door saying something like: Postie: If you are delivering a recorded package I'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign for it yourself. I will save me 50p and a trip to the post office. That would be sweet if it came on Wednesday.
Chris the great Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 just cancl;ed shopto and went back to play. the chance of being at dole office missing it and having to go straight back to town made my ring sore with annoyance.
Ganepark32 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Not to start an argument but I love it how you, Choze, see this as furthering the FPS genre. Quite laughable really. Control-wise it's taken quite a step back. But as I said, I'm not here to argue about the credentials of the game, at least until I have the final product in my hands but I'm not sure when that'll be because Halo Wars is taking my money on friday as I'm just more interested in it at the moment compared to another FPS, a genre which I've had quite a lot of playtime in so far this year. If my money can stretch a little, then I may pick this up as well but it'll have to wait.
Daft Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 I wouldn't say the controls have taken a step back, I just think they are different. Strangely enough I haven't played a FPS for quite a long time. Except for Left4Dead, and Halo 3 for a couple nights last month, but I guess that would be the antithesis of KZ2.
dwarf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Well all FPS games have their own style and atmosphere, so while K2 does not change a whole lot to the formula it can still feel fresh. Multiplayer modes are vastly different between FPS games, good maps, different techniques and tactics make each on very unique. This one uniquely awesome. Controls I feel are a bit iffy but hey, haven't played enough of it to comment.
dwarf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Ok cool so arrival will be either Thursday or Friday. Cool.
Deathjam Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I think the website is also worth a highlight they are coming up with nice ideas like the battle Replay feature. You can use it to show how you outsmarted someone in a match. Shopto update: Sigh, decided to not take anytime off work as people at work love to talk behind another's back despite their 'holier than though' attitude so probably wont be able to sit down with this game properly till the weekend. As well, let's at least hope that this thing arrives on wednesday. If it does, I will pledge (fledging) allegiance to shopto for future orders.
Daft Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Got an e-mail from Play at about 3 hours ago!! MY ORDER HAS BEEN POSTED!!!!!! :yay: :yay: :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:
Aimless Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 My ShopTo order's been dispatched as well, so I should have it by lunchtime tomorrow. Cue the vain hope that they've tweaked the aiming calibration for the retail release.
Deathjam Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah shopto.net should be sending the stuff today so it should arrive tomorrow lunchtime, or thursday at the latest. AH crap. Looks like they only have the vanilla version in at the moment. Hopefully the steel book case should arrive soon. Come on shopto! You have not let me down yet! (apart from when I ordered Okami and the post man stole it, after which you had run out of stock and on my very first order from them I may add.)
MATtheHAT Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Just phoned ShopTo, and they said Killzone 2 will be shipped tomorrow. Damn it! I wanted some Killzone goodness tomorow
dwarf Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Ooh interesting some people are going to be able to play before others, at least those people that have had theirs dispatched are noobs and won't challenge me anyway. Lol.
