I played Halo3:ODST between 12:30 and 3:00am while at work, on the day it was released. Does that count? :D

Ive only ever bought 2 games from them. One on preorder that came 2 days prior to release, one just standard and it came the next day. They seem ok to me, but i usually go with Amazon.

Who? Game or Shopto.net?

The trouble is here they have they're own Post Office here and everything thats sent out by First Class post can take up to a week to arrive at your door.

Shopto.net allow free upgrade to Recorded Delivery on pre-orders which usually ensures I get it the next day.

I'm barely breaking a sweat mate.

If they send it out Saturday by recorded delivery it'll be here Monday. Once it's been sent its out of their hands.

It also sounds like a great way of them combating midnight releases.

I thought Bob was on about Game the store rather than online?

Game online is top, one of my 'go to' sites for games and I've never had a problem with em. The shop I try to stay well clear of (sorry CCC).
