Neudd Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 With the collectors and special edition announced its finally time for me to make my move and pre order, but where from? I've never ordered from the Rockstar Warehouse, do they deliver on time, deliver early (play.com most times get the game to you the day before release) Has anybody got any other retailers similar to the suggested above? Game etc. that deliver the game the day before release? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kai824 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I want to know about rockstar warehouse aswell, because I just ordered from the and I really want to receive te game on release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewyR Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I was wondering this but I've had bad experiences with both GAME and Play so I was really hoping that i'd be able to order through Amazon UK but it's not listed up there. Maybe we will just have to force myself to a midnight release, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neudd Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm pretty sure game and play.com get the game to you usually the day before release, I just need to know about the rockstar warehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugef1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've ordered direct from R* as well so I guess we'll all find out won't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAV92 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Is there a game shop that will send me the game a day before the release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameznash Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It is available for pre-order on Amazon and they state that you get it on the day of release. both PS3 + Xbox versions listed (plus PC Version listed as well!!!!) price is £39.99 for basic version - other editions not listed yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbo254 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I always use Shopto for my preorders and have always received my games the day before release. Game have most of the time delivered a day early except one time I got it on release day. However with the special edition being exclusive to Game there isnt much choice if you want that one.

jamieleng Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) About this blimp, do I have to pre-order? As long as you pre-order from whom? I doubt I'll get it with my order (paid in full, mainly because it had 25% off) from my local supermarket, what about GAME, HMV, any high street stores. Why does everything have to be so complicated, I don't want to jump through a load of hoops. I'm really not looking forward to next-gen. For the record, I'm not complaining about stuff in the collectors/special editions. Why do I have to pre-order from a certain place, when I put down my pre-order with their Spring 2013 advertising stands. I knew nothing of these things back then. If the blimp is in the game already, then fine, but it's been shown since the first trailer. There was a game with a similar iconic vehicle, which was shown in trailers & demos, what was it called? Oh yeah, the man-a-pult from, oh what was the game called again? Edited May 23, 2013 by jamieleng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R* are saying that it doesn't matter where or when you pre-ordered, every pre-order comes with access to the Blimp. The number of hoops you have to jump through is: 0.

Kirsty Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 From personal experience, GAME have always delivered to me a day early. I've heard good things about ShopTo as well, and both them and Amazon are saying you'll definitely get it on release day. I'm considering pre-ordering online and also attending a midnight release just to be sure, as with it releasing on a Tuesday, the weekend might mess up postage plans.

Neudd Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks for all the replys guys. Looks like its going to be Game then. One day I will order something from the warehouse!

Neudd Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've always ordered my games through the Internet, mainly bcos I've literally just turned 18 last month so didn't really have any choice with most games that I've ever pre ordered. As well as game station closing down near me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer89 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 ShopTo usually get it to you the day before it comes out, I ordered Hitman (it was due out on the Tuesday IIRC) and I'd received it the Saturday before, so even better, but many other people I know use ShopTo and they get it their pre-orders the day before.

I'm considering pre-ordering online and also attending a midnight release just to be sure, as with it releasing on a Tuesday, the weekend might mess up postage plans. 99% of the time it will come day before from both. Ive preordered from ShopTo a game that was coming on out on Tuesday and got it Monday. When I ordered Crysis 3 from GAME which came out on a Friday it actually came on release day. I think theres always a chance you wont get it a day early but 9 times out of 10 you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakeney Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think it's a R* promotion and all stores will get the same exclusives. I don't piss around with delivery's for major titles anymore since (funnily enough) GTA:IV, because i had it pre-ordered from both amazon and play.com (me and a mate got it on my card, it was agreed i would get the first to come if there was any problems) and neither came for like a week, i ended up buying mine in-store from Tesco once there second lot came in! Playing a game like GTA at the same time as everyone else aka from midnight, is quite important to me, so as you can imagine, living a week knowing people were playing IV... people near me... people i once considered friends!! was distressing to say the least!!! never again lol!

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to park it below the underpass & use it as your secondary switch vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty256 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I believe ShopTo won't send your game till Monday and you'll get the game on release day as its a big AAA game, Some games you get early from them but i don't see GTA V being one of them they would send out early. and for Rockstar Warehouse when I've order from them before i got it from Germany within the week. So getting it from the Warehouse is a risk you'll have to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA92 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Is there a game shop that will send me the game a day before the release? ShopTo usually deliver day before release. But GTA V is out on a Tuesday, so it wont arrive on the Monday (No post on Sundays). No where will get GTA V to you a day earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinterj Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I always use Shopto for my preorders and have always received my games the day before release. Just wanted to recommend ShopTo also. Great and most the time there games cost less. Most the time I get my games from them at least a day early even those that are released on Tuesdays. There is a chance GTA V will be also.

d3ex2 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I want to get the special edition but I don't know where to buy it... I'm not sure if Rockstar Warehouse will deliver it on release day and not sure about GAME either. They both only have free delivery so who knows when I'll get it. I want to pay in full for the special edition and have it delivered on release day. Is that so hard? I'm willing to pay for 1st class/record delivery and hand over my money NOW.

GTA Master Blaster Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 So yesterday I pre-ordered my GTA V collectors Edition on Shopto.net However looking on Rockstar Games official Pre-Order list this morning, they don't have Shopto.net listed only game & zavvi (who are asking an eye watering (£149.99) Why isn't Rockstar listing Shopto.net? Will they be able to fulfill my order?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop to almost guarantee to have it delivered on release day (or before but it doesn't state that). Here is what it says: "Pre-release dispatch - Pre-order GTA : Grand Theft Auto V (5) Collector's Edition before 12pm on Friday 13th of September 2013 to receive it by the release date of Tuesday 17th of September 2013( UK & Mainland Only )" I realise this says the collectors edition but in my experience they say this with every game.
