And of course, just like last year I think, Amazon has "underestimated" the amount of pre-orders (how can you underestimate that anyhow?), and therefore has delayed delivery of PCM12.
Considering cancelling the order, but can't find a cheaper physical DVD anywhere in Belgium. |

Just bought the game through the links of this site, so a cut of money goes here 
I have downloaded the PCM's our downloader but how do I set the files to download?
EDIT: Gone for Manual download, its so much faster

I just went out and bought it in Gamemania. It's more than double of the prize but you never know how much longer a delay will be on amazon, could be weeks. |

I am pissed about it, but the delay I hope will be maximum 4 days, like it was last year 24-26 th delivery hopefully, if it's later than that, than I will cancel and just download.
How could you fuck-up a pre-order though ? It's a pre-order fss.

4 days delay sounds a little bit better than a week, but its still bloody annoying |

2nd year now my PCM pre-order has been delayed due to online sites screwing up pre-orders.
Sigh... however, I'd prefer to save the money.

my quess would be that the developers worked on the game until the latest possible point for the download version and it's only after the download version is set in stone that they print up the disc's for the cd version
then the cd version discs are printed and dispatched to the retailers
considering that amazon.fr are saying they have the game in stock now, it should be extremely soon that amazon.co.uk would have it too but as focus are french, amazon.fr get's it earliest due to a shorter distance between their printing places.
but that's only a guess.
oh well, these things happen.

From what i read here on the forum, it looks like they should start working little bit earlier.

Just cancelled my order with Amazon UK as they're now saying 1-3 weeks for delivery.
Play have it in stock, same price, so ordered from there with 1st class postage...should be here mid-week.
Don't understand how Amazon didn't make sure they had stock available when pre-orders were taken a few weeks back....still, just waiting for despatch from Play now. |

Apparently, the same thing happened last year, I always buy off of focus, mainly because in the USA, thats the only option.

Moved mine to play.com now too. Amazon couldn't guarentee delivery before TDF, which is when I play the game most.
Ordered on play a few hours ago, already close to dispatch.

Don't get too excited. It's unplayable until a decent DB and all the patches are released.

Still just the feeling of getting the new Pcm enjoys me every year - And well, if i'll have to wait, then i'll wait  |

I'm enjoying it too, but I'm desperate for a good patch, though |
