Hey guys, where is the best place to pre-order gta v in the UK? By this I mean, first day release or earlier, price etc.

I've gone with Amazon UK. They have a release day policy. It's possible you might even get it a day earlier if you're lucky.

It depends on what version you want, standard or special?

 

If standard, go for Amazon, as all the times I've pre-ordered games from there, they've come atleast a day early.

But if special, you'll have to go to GAME, as it's exclusive to there, but it won't matter as GAME normally delivers a day early whenever I've ordered from them.

That's reassuring cos it's the first time I've pre-ordered anything from Amazon.

I've actually set my GTAV countdown date to 16th of September. smile.gif

Amazon seems to be the place to go, but surely seen as it's the biggest game of the year pre-ordered alone, then release day delivery isn't guaranteed? Also it says "Want to receive this the day it comes out? Select First Class at checkout" which will put the price up....

Amazon. Once pre ordered a game and it came a day early. Who knows this time.

 

If amazon fails I'll go to tescos and return the amazon one when it comes.

I think you have 3 options for pre-ordering online but it depends if you want standard or special edition.

 

GAME - has the special edition exclusive, in my experience I've always received games a day early

 

Amazon - reading a lot of positive reviews about Amazon ensuring that people will receive it on release day

 

Shopto - same positive reviews about receiving it on time, and some people have experience with it also delivering a day early

Shopto.net. I need say no more. Spot on n likely get it one day early.

LOL the amount of times you have recommended shopto because of these constant Pre-order threads tounge.gif

ShopTo.net

 

I have never had any issues with them. And pre-orders had always turned up a day early for me.

GAME. Used them loads of times and they have always got it to me a day early.

Pretty much this icon14.gif

 

However no matter which shop to get it from people will always say that they had problems with that shop, so if i was you GAME, Amazon or Shopto.net depending on which type of edition you want.

That's happened to me too, but I've also had deliveries from them that came on release day - and in the afternoon post too. Past success is no guarantee.

Im not sure what to do, i have a few choices.

 

Theres a small game shop where my friend goes and they sell games a few days early, i got BO2 on the Saturday before the Tuesday release date, 3 days early!!

 

Now if they do this with GTAV then that would be amazing but im a bit skeptical this time, and i wont find out if they are selling early till near release.

 

Or I was thinking of pre-order from Blockbuster in store as there is one near me, and pick up release day, but can you pre-order in store at Blockbuster? Never used them before.

 

Or theres Tesco midnight release which is like a 5 min walk from me, its a 24 hour Tesco so im sure they will sell it at midnight, they have before, though I guess a phone call on the Monday to ask them wouldn't hurt.

 

Or pre-order online, which would probably be from ShopTo, they give you £5 credit to your account if they fail to deliver it to you on release day, im sure they dont want to GIVE away money lol.

 

So what would you guys do in my position?

Haha well ever since i used them i've had nothing but positive results. Pre-orders 80% of the time coming a day early. The promise of £5 back if it arrives after release date. The fact everythings posted first class as default and the Cyber Sunday deals are really good.

When ordering through ShopTo is it best to choose First Class (Signed For) (With Tracking) for the extra £1.99 or just stick with default First Class?

Depends what you want.

 

ShopTo - Never let me down and most the time get games early from them.

Amazon - Cheaper than ShopTo for the normal edition.

Game - Costs a little more than Amazon but tend to get the game to you on release.

Tesco - This is where I went with as currently(up to the 18th) they have £5 off when you spend £35 or more on pre orders. They sell the normal edition of GTA V for £40 so I got it for £35. I've made a pre order at Tesco before and they sometimes get the game to you early but most the time on release day. The main draw here is the price.

 

I assume all places offer the pre order bonus even though some sites don't list it like Tesco.

Ive gone for Game, i used amazon for the FIFA 13 release and like most people on that release it came 1 day after release!! Shopto are very good but i wanted the special edition that comes with the blueprint map (looks interesting).

I wanted the S.E, so I went with the Rockstar Warehouse, they also guarantee release day delivery.
