Doesn't seem to be any evidence here of people who've actually received a copy, just Amazon's order system saying it's scheduled to be despatched today. I wouldn't rely on that whatsoever, today will happen, nothing will be despatched, and the status page will update with a new date.

Sony even delays finished games, i just dont understand...

Other put unfinished games on the market and Sony just delays things that are finished, we dont even get huge day 1 patches on Sony games anymore, Ratchet add a 80mb patch lol compare that to some games with huge day 1 updates.

Just release the god damn games if they are finished, now spoilers will be all over the internet, go check youtube tomorrow or so and you will see.

i hope Twitch dont let people stream this neither youtube or ban the videos because i know my friends will see and talk about it to me errrrr...

Yeah not getting my hopes up, if I do get it early it will be a pleasant surprise.

I'll post later today if it actually shows up.

Don't need to worry about spoilers from me, also I don't post videos.

Ordered it just in case... going to cancel it if it won't be here this week, because I already predered the steelbook edition somewhere else.
 
holy shit, my amazon order says it's going to arrive today by 8pm, but there's no tracking info available, just what is listed on amazon's site

That's the image that was linked to the eBay sale I saw earlier.

ive seen that picture 10 times from diff people...high chance they are gonna use this picture to scam people

Being fair he has two photos posted to his twitter, one which is blurry and one which is sharper, so it's likely he took them. Also the name ties up with some of the other stuff they were selling including a number plate for "Tiler"

See the rest of the post. He has actually posted two similar images, one blurry one and one sharper, I'd say he has the game.

Yeah, I saw that. And he seems to be tweeting at people who had inquired him beforehand about a copy of the game.

Man, I usually get copies early with my store, but never two weeks early lol

Mine says it is arriving Friday on Amazon uk but I doubt it actually will.

Hopefully so. I don't know if the street date rules apply to online, but in retail, we used to report a local street date breaker and then be able to sell copies early ourselves.
 
Holy crap, Amazon says I'll have my copy today too! I live in Florida. No tracking info is provided though. I preordered months ago when they had that brief discount. November 23Rd to be exact

I live in FL but still 5/10 for me. I have one of the collector's editions, wonder if that's gonna make a difference.

My local independent store in Lakeside went bust a while back so nothing like that happens locally anymore.

Remember guys, about the ebay thing, that all it takes is basic photoshop skills, a color printer, an empty blu-ray case, and access to a shrink wrap machine (which most Gamestop employees, among others, do afaik).

I wish, if that is the case, that Sony would publicly state it if they haven't shipped to retailers yet.

Yea it is, you move to maximize hype and sales, who is going to release a game immediately after or before a souls games? Why compete with hype that sony wants to benefit from in the future?

But they release R&C the same day as DS3? Yeah, doesn't make sense. There is no need to maximize hype for one of their biggest franchises. And there's no need to move it further away from Souls; it was already 2 weeks out. I'm sure they had some reason to do it internally... I just don't understand what it was. Game is clearly ready and in retail hands.

This Friday was the original UK release date, wasn't it? It wasn't originally going to be a worldwide release.

Sounds like it's the same thing as American users seeing it'll arrive today. I imagine they're just incorrect updates based off the old dates.

This.

If ppl do start receiving their copies early though, then welp, in to the bunker I go.
