I like the free roaming you have to visit other sims and they dont just visit you.

I have used Play for all my DVD/CD/Game purchases, and have never had a problem, but as I have never tried pre ordering anything, I thought I would ask what the process was like, and hence these guys that have already posted in this thread offer sound advice anyway.

There pre-order system is simple. Its basically the same as making a normal order with them. It all goes through the same way but you wont be charged until the day of dispatch I think possibly 1-2 days before dispatch.

Re: Play.com Pre Orders
Never pre-ordered games but I have books and they've always arrived either the day before or on the day of the release

Re: Play.com Pre Orders
Just spoken to play, and they say it will be sent out on the 4th or 5th, which means I wont get it on release day. Im gonna cancel and order with Amazon I think.

You might still have got it on release date or maybe the saturday.
Remember its not down to play.com but the Royal Mail postal service when you get the game delivered.
Also they have free postage. You will only get it in time from amazon if you pay for the next day delivery!
It really bugs me when people complain about deliveries from companies when its actually Royal Mail causing the delays.

That's not always true. Amazon and ebuyer often use the same delivery method to send your parcel whether you use free delivery or pay for it, but if you select free delivery, they just don't process your order for a few days.
When I've pre-ordered games from play.com or game they've arrived the day of release, or 1 day either side. i can't remember about Amazon.

I can't recommend www.shopto.net enough. They're cheap and offer free 1st class recorded postage. Every game i've pre-ordered (at least 5 or 6 so far), i've received the day before release or even earlier. A couple of weeks ago i ordered UFC 2009 at 1:30pm on a Friday and received it Saturday morning. They also send free text messages to let you know when the item has been dispatched.
