Game delivered early?

[rjg85]

Whenever I have previously preordered big games I have received them in the post a day before their official release, probably because my house is close to the internet site depot I order from. I got Mass Effect and Pro Evo 2008 early for example. Is that likely with GTA IV? Will companies ship the game so that it is guarenteed to arrive on the day of release? If so then they will have to ship them a couple of days prior to release to ensure everyone gets their copy by the release date, therefore some will get it early. My fear is that the strictness of GTA IV's release date will mean they won't send out the copies until the 29th, meaning everyone who has ordered it online will have to wait a few days after the 29th until they receive their copy. And that would be rubbish.

According to one of the gaming forums i use Game will dispatch all first class postage orders on Monday 28th of April, first class usually means next day arrival so you'd get it on the 29th. However if you opted for free postage your game will be dispatched on Saturday 26th of April, which usually takes 2-3 days to arrive however it can sometimes arrive the next working day.
