Question Play.com Pre Orders

Hey guys,

I have Pre Ordered The Sims 3 from Play.com (queue the raised eyebrows and Oh my god are you sad). This was ordered on 26/04/2009. The game isnt released over here until the 05/06/2009. My question is, with pre orders from Play do you get them on release day? I have looked on the site, but cant find anything about Pre Ordering.

TIA

Re: Play.com Pre Orders

Whenever I've pre-ordered something in the past i either get it on day of release or on occasion a day before.

Re: Play.com Pre Orders

I've only ever been let down by Amazon (well their Chocolate sorry Indigo Starfish Jersey operation)

Whenever I've pre ordered from Play it's always arrived a day or so before or on the day at the latest.

Re: Play.com Pre Orders

Always used to use Play for my games before shopto. I found that most pre-orders came on release day with the odd one a day before. did get one after release though to.
