New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Arrrrrrrrrrgh! Just got a notificaion from GAME that my copies of Crimson Skies, Worms 3D and Simpsons Hit & Run have been despatched today using Royal Mail First Class Delivery - just watched the news and there are postal 'wildcat strikes' all over the country today! Brilliant timing or what!

:bigcry:

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

So you may not be dog fighting with me tomorrow...... :( Damn Royal Mail!

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Does anyone know of a webiste that lists where these strikes are?

I might nip into game and trial CS for 10 days..., just incase!

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Aye, GAME just sent me F-Zero GX :( I won't be getting it FOR AGES......

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Postal strikes didn't affect me! :p :D

Gameplay.co.uk posted my copy of Crimson Skies yesterday, 1st Class Royal Mail, & it arrived today :D

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

you lucky Xbox gamer you! :p :D

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Nice one Mr Tez ! So, come on then, spill the beans, what's it like ???

:)

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Playing it now. Impressed so far :)

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Excellent! (As Mr Burns would say) Hopefully get this one tomorrow! :)

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Had a good play of it tonight, on- & offline.

The single player mode isn't actually too bad. It's not amazing, but it's pretty good, & good fun.

The Live play is excellent. Very enjoyable, lots of fun, good laugh etc. Definitely worth getting this game just for the XBL play, IMO. Also makes a change from all the endless FPS Live games.

Cas, heres a link to areas affected by the postal strike...think Game despatches are safe as these come from Berkshire and nothing noted for there on the link!

Bad news Caspar - just heard on the news this morning that there is a postal strike today at Warrington, it will effect mail order/catalogue delivery's mostly!

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Top Spin will also do that aswell as PGR2 i cant wait for top spin, getting excited now! :p

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Cheers m8 :beer: :D


Yeah, saw that on GMTV this morning!!! All down south except one in Scotland and Warrington....how bloody typical is that!!!! :( Not on the website above tho, :confused:

Saying that I did get post this morning tho, no games and still not got my Matrix Revolutions I ordered on the 8th of Oct! :confused:

Typical I don't get the stuff I want but do get letters from the Wazza council telling me they 'forgot' to take my council tax this month and they're going to take it next month instead! (can I say no? tough luck you had your chance!)

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

The postie has been and gone - no new games, only junk mail ! :afire:

:bigcry:

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

It was postal strikes that made Richard Branson open his first Virgin record store. Up till that point he had been a mail order operation.

Perhaps we can all go to Reading to collect our packages from Amazon!

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

My copy of F-Zero GX came in the post today thank you very much :D

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

I hope you will be very happy together.


;)

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Indeed we shall :) I have all my stuff delivered to Kent so I guess Kent not so badly affected by the strike.

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Thinking about it, the last game i pre-ordered from GAME came on a Saturday morning. Must be our local sorting office being a bit slow.

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Saturday afternoon and still no games. Annoyed ? You bet I am. :grind:

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

I still haven't got my Matrix Reloaded I ordered from Amazon on the 8th October! :( :cry:

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

what have you done to find out whats happened to it?

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

You really need to get in touch with amazon Cas, you should have got this by now.

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Yay!! The postal strike is over! Hope the 'agreement' lasts - until i get my games that is! Had a notification from GAME about Top Spin was on its way(ish) aswell. :D

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

isnt that just the usual email you get on the monday and then they dont actually dispatch it untill wed/thursday?

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

I am hopefully getting top spin today from dixons!! :D

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Same. Jar, might see you tonight for a little game of tennis?

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Yeah will do Boom if i get it dunno what time ill be in thou to play but ill have a look on lvie for you or on msn! :)

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

That's why I put 'on its way(ish)'. I got the email early sunday morning instead of the usual Monday. Hoping GAME are sending things out earlier because of the postal strike and backlog of mail.

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

Arrrrrrrgh! Neon!!!!!!

I can understand Crimson Skies. But Simpsons Hit & Run???? Arrrrgh!!!!

Re: New games & the Postal Strike's !
 

I can understand were you're coming from zerolight, but judging by all the reviews I've read, the overall consensus is that we finally have a game that does the Simpson's justice.

When this game does finally arrive, I'll post a review of what I think of it.

Cheers. ;)

(If anyone out there has it now, I'd be interested in what you think of it aswell.)
