Where are you preordering from?

[TexasOdysseus 327]

I ran into my local Gamestop (Houston area) and asked the Asst Mgr if she had any details on the release. She plead ignorance and said they'll find out the "week of" as to what specifics will govern release time. She guessed it'll be no later than 9 pm on Thursday, as midnight releases aren't the draw they used to be since digital copies became so popular. 

 

That's all I know.

[darkdayz 532]

Whoever gives me the most off for pre ordering. 

 

Theres a toy store in the UK giving £5 off. Not seen anything better yet. Also have got a few supermarket discount cards from employee relatives.

 

Will try and get the special edition down to standard price at least.

[Cutter De Blanc 14,931]

I'm fairly convinced the store I work at won't be getting this game on or around release day

[BurnettVice 267]

I’m thinking about getting it from the warehouse. Will I get the game early?

[Catfish Pie 97]

Hey folks, I know I asked this the other week, but, Im currently working in Denmark and driving Horses to a horse show in Valencia tomorrow.

I hope beyond all hope, that when I'm back in the UK next week I will still be able to preorder and buy a PS4-PRO!  

Nowhere is selling out of PS4 are they ffs? 

[BuddyX557 5]

From local store in my country. It always arrives to me 2 or 1 days early 😚.

[Magic_Al 939]

Me too. I feel as giddy as a school girl. 

[Granit Q 0]

Me too, but the email was in the Spam Box, so if you haven't recive it yet, check your spam section.

 

This is the email that I recived, its- in German.

[darkdayz 532]

Man reddit is on fire right now some people saying Amazon can’t make it and will get it to them end of November which is nuts.

 

100% pre ordering from a store close. Not trusting the postal system.

[crazedZ10 287]

So apparently Game UK will sell you RDR2 standard edition half price if you give them a game from a list of wanted games. Anyone have experience with this? I might just do it. Cheapest game there was Wonderboy for £16 off thegamecollection.net. If it all goes to plan I may only have to spend £41 on this game!

Messed up prices

[Smooth Longsack 5,276]

Anymore, i only buy digital copies. I'm not getting off my couch to change what game I'm playing. Being able to sell a game down the road, for $12, isn't worth my couch time. When I plant my butt down, it's down. To answer OP, it's from the micro$oft store. 

[Amy Vinewood 34,087]

I preordered mine from the Rockstar warehouse, because I wanted a physical copy and the map. It's supposed to get delivered on release day according to the e-mail i received.

Does anyone know what shipping service Rockstar uses?

[INFERNO E100 738]

anyone order from the R* warehouse and pay via paypal

 

i did and it was an instant payment back in june but that f*cking email telling me to check my shipping and billing info had me thinking i didnt pay yet for a quick minute 

 

not sure what shipping company they use

 

[Lonely-Martin 33,022]

My local Game shop. That buzz when queuing for GTA V was awesome and as I work near sometimes, it's on the way home. (Plus I want physical/map).

 

I might skip back, or sprint.

[chronic lumbago 3,058]

Canceled my physical preorder and preordered it on PSN. Since I'm going to play it at midnight, it gives me around 18 hours of additional playtime compared to waiting for mail like a c*nt.

End of November? nah, I don't believe that for a second

[HorTyS 23]

Pre-ordered at Best Buy as I still have an active Gamer's Club Unlocked membership. Sadly they don't look to be selling physical Ultimate Editions, but I'm getting the special edition Thursday evening. $64 for the special edition is fine by me.

[ulTron 5]

MediaMarkt in Berlin, with an old 20€ birthday giftcard I only pay 64,99€ ($74,99) instead of 84,99€ ($97,41) for the special edition.

[Cheesy Vaginas 97]

How late do you think is too late to preorder from Rockstar Warehouse to get it on release day? I ordered last night so I should be good, right?

I would think so. I pre ordered the collectors box from them and haven't gotten an email or anything yet. But I'm sure any orders this early will still be good for release day

[Dougie Jones 83]

Has anyone received any emails from Rockstar Warehouse about their order?

I haven't received one yet, they also haven't charged my card either. Just guessing - I'm thinking they will charge it when it ships monday, with 5 day delivery.

I pre-ordered back in June and was immediately charged, but I think that has something to do with how they handle paypal transactions.

[Haha365 901]

For those of you who ordered from R* warehouse, check your spam box.  Myself and others received the email,  but it went to Spam.

Yeah I've got nothing in that folder either. I'm patiently waiting. I know they won't charge me till it ships. I just want my email and credit card charged so I know it's done, locked in and on its way. 

[MuffinMcFluffin 36]

I pre-ordered from Best Buy back on January 16, 2017.

 

They just sent me two e-mails: one stating the release date has changed to December 31, 2017; the other stating that my pickup item is currently not available.

 

I'm guessing they're just readying themselves for release, but when they updated this stuff it glitched out to tell me things that are seemingly very much untrue.

 

EDIT: Wait, I get it. Because the date changed to something that was before today's date, the site automatically thought: "Well, it's out but we don't have any in stock, so we will have to alert our customers." The release date has since been corrected, and I got another e-mail that simply says my item is not ready for pickup. All is normal again!

They have let me down in the past don't get me wrong Amazon are great I always order stuff on there but when it comes to games on release day they usually let me down. Shame because i a prefer physical copy

I would always get a physical copy from Amazon around 8pm of release date, not so bad really but I’ve gone strictly digital. In fact I’m downloading RDR2 on my system as we speak/type. Obviously it’s just pre-downloading and not letting me play but I’m stoked knowing I won’t have to worry about waiting to load in the game physically.

[INFERNO E100 738]

R* warehouse. Ordered in June payed by PayPal. Charged instantly. Got email  wednesday was in junk folder so check there

[DGSimo 4,580]

Just got my email from the warehouse about my Collector's box charging.

 

Also for folks that preordered from Gamestop and aren't sure if their store is doing a 9pm launch or whatever, the official word is 9pm release for all stores. Its now listed on Gamestop's website.
