They charge slightly after ordering.

Really?

My Dark Souls 3 order with them was cancelled just prior to dispatch because my payment details were incorrect. And I had ordered that several weeks beforehand.

I figured they charge on dispatch.

//wrong thread.

Amazon keeps delivering all uncharted 4's around 8 PM / 20 o'clock?

Shouldn't there be also some people with other estimated delivery times? Amazon is usually on spot with their estimated times and it seems strange that everyone has the exact same expected time.

My bad, checked the FAQ and the 1 hour thing was for in stock items only. You're charged instantly using PayPal still and the guy who said he was charged by Simply said they had literally just placed the order, so it wasn't a waiting thing.

 

[diddykong13]

Umm guys, I just checked my bank account and SimplyGames have taken money from my account. I don't use SimplyGames too often - only once to get MGSV early - but do they usually take money from you as soon as you've placed your order or just as they're about to dispatch (because for what it's worth, mine says it's pending dispatch).

They take payment once they dispatch - unless you pre-ordered a while back:
"Payment for order will be captured when we dispatch your items unless your order was placed more than 28 days before the official release date. In this case your payment will be captured within 21 days of your order placed."

I ordered from them this morning and my screen shows the same info:

Any news from Simply Games?

Someone earlier reported that their card had been charged but I can't check my account.

Based on the above info and the fact that mine shows the same "Pending Dispatch" status, yet I haven't been charged suggests that they aren't going to be sending them early... I'm keeping the order until the end of the week though just in case!

 

[Goldrusher]

It's probably just a glitch.

They'll fix the glitch and you won't be receiving a game anymore.
It'll just work itself out naturally.

 

[thenexus6]

I wonder how much CEX are buying the copies for..? Why would someone even sell it to them?

 

[katkombat]

Why can't this happen to me

 

[LiK]

I just checked 4 different Cex stores, nowt.

nowt?

Ah fair enough, thanks for checking.

Oh well. I imagine it will arrive early but two weeks early was wishful thinking.

If these Amazon orders do actually ship then at least we know retailers are receiving stock and could dispatch at any time.

 

[diddykong13]

nowt?

nowt as in nothing... nada... nowt.

 

[daveo42]

Yet it's never my copy

Right there with you man.

 

[Hasney]

I wonder how much CEX are buying the copies for..? Why would someone even sell it to them?

At a punt, I'd say somewhere around £45-£50 trade in. Surprised they don't charge more though, they usually do for not yet released games.

nowt?

"Nothing" in British slang.

 

[HardRojo]

Welp, with this and Civil War coming out this week in many countries, it's time to be extremely careful on the Internet.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Dublin. Checked Liffey street, westmoreland street, George street, and Santry. Also asked in GameStop, got the response you'd expect from them.

TIL there's a CEX on Westmoreland Street.

Thanks for doing the research, now I don't have to check after work!

I know the order is a glitch, but my Amazon orders always say by 8pm.

 

[Synless]

Mine says it will be here today. But... I noticed there is no charge to my bank for the game so I find it unlikely.

Amazon charges usually the next day

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Ratchet needed room. Maybe.

Yes, that's what I'm guessing too. It's not really ND that should be annoyed, it's Sony and Insomniac.

 

[benny_a]

Oh my this thread is embarrassing with all the whiners about the release date. Get a fucking grip you babies.

 

[pizzacat]

Yeah well at least I'm getting P5 this millennium ;_;

Oh, I learned something new.

 

[Wishmaster92]

The one time I don't order from amazon

 

[nemisis0]

Found someone in london selling copies for £60 but they just want to meet up rather then go back to whatever store they work at hmmm...

Someone found a way to steal copies it seems....

 

[zkorejo]

Pakistan. We get our games from Dubai for the most part.

Where in Pakistan?.. Which retailer? Please tell.

 

[oti]

Yeah well at least I'm getting P5 this millennium ;_;

Are you though?
Are you?

Spoiler

you slave 4 evar

 

[Servbot24]

Oh my this thread is embarrassing with all the whiners about the release date. Get a fucking grip you babies.

I don't want anyone else to have something that I don't have. That is BULLSHIT.

/s

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Oh my this thread is embarrassing with all the whiners about the release date. Get a fucking grip you babies.

But someone's going to play it before them! The horror.

 

[SomTervo]

Hey guys let me know, in Glasgow too!

But of course!

 

[Magwik]

Always EU it seems
Oh will I can wait

 

[LiK]

But someone's going to play it before them! The horror.

Not really about that. People just wanna avoid spoilers.

 

[xRaizen]

Anyone found copies in Florida yet?

 

[The Artisan]

didn't this happen with order 1886?

 

[thenexus6]

Oh my this thread is embarrassing with all the whiners about the release date. Get a fucking grip you babies.

Not really - if you had the chance of getting the game today / this week you would want it.

Also avoiding spoilers is important.

 

[rhino4evr]

It seems my order still shows the Pre-Prime 20% price as well.

At this point, the only way it's arriving today, is if they use an independent courier service that doesn't post tracking info for same day shipping.

I'd say my chances and most of your chances are pretty slim. At least in the US. No idea why copies are showing up in Europe so early.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Not really about that. People just wanna avoid spoilers.

Yeah, fair enough, it is annoying that we know some clown could deliberately spoil it for us, and there are lots of clowns out there.

 

[oti]

Bruhs, I want nothing more than for you to get it RIGHT NOW and enjoy the game.

 

[Bl@de]

Yeah, fair enough, it is annoying that we know some clown could deliberately spoil it for us, and there are lots of clowns out there.

That's true

SULLY DIES LOLOLOLOL

[DLaicH]

Huh, mine also says it's arriving today, but there's no tracking info, so I don't believe it.

In the meantime I'm still waiting for something that I ordered with Prime shipping last Tuesday. What's going on over there, Amazon?!

 

[Luc1fersBeard]

This isn't really new from CEX I've purchased many games over the years WAY before release date.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Where in Pakistan?.. Which retailer? Please tell.

Lahore. Sky Games.

 

[jjgzee]

I hope there's some truth to this because Amazon says my copy will arrive today. But I'm leaning toward this being a glitch since there's hasn't been a shipping notification yet. I guess there's a slim chance it'll just arrive without tracking, but I doubt it..

 

[zXe]

I'm about to pop out and check a couple of the CEX's in Cardiff, will report back later!

This is where I am. If it shows, sweet. Without tracking though I am doubting this highly.

 

[Flopfan]

Uncharted 4 early access. Nice.

 

[djplaeskool]

Arriving today.
Holy shit...

 

[bug_42]

Arriving today.
Holy shit...

Are you sure?

mine says today by 8, but it hasn't shipped yet.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

This is kind of inevitable when you manufacture your discs like 5 weeks in advance. Same thing happened with The Order.

 

[AwakenedCloud]

Not really about that. People just wanna avoid spoilers.

I mean, it's not like every game gets a worldwide release. Sure, it's much more common, but we've learned to manage for ones that don't over the years.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

The irony is, £55 would be quite reasonable for cex recently. I might check my local later.
