I'm looking to order Skyrim online over the next day or two and was wondering who would be a good choice. I've ordered from Play.co.uk before but that was ages ago. I'm looking for a company that can usually deliver a game a day or two before it comes out. I remember Grim mentioning something about gameplay.co.uk, any suggestions?
Gameplay.co.uk have always been the most reliable at getting games to me on time. If you pay the £1 for first class delivery you normally get the game a day early. Play.com have been late on a couple of occasions and so I don't use them anymore.
Yeah this game has a £54.99 RRP which is crazy money. The only thing I would say about Amazon is that I am not sure what the 'free super saver delivery' is. It may be second class as it says 1-3 days if you look into it a bit so it may not come on launch day if they ship one day before.
Yeah I was confused by the super saver delivery so I just chose first class, it should arrive at least on the day of release. If it arrives at 11am I'll wait 11 minutes so I can start playing it at 11:11:11 on 11/11/11, and the world will implode. More like Sonic Spinball or Street Fighter II Turbo money lol.
Was Sonic Spinball really that much? I don't remember but its kind of irrelevant as it came out around the Christmas when my parents won a £1000 shopping spree so it probably didn't matter to them getting it for me.
I remember I used to read S.T.C (Sonic the Comic) and they did game reviews and I remember them showing the price of Sonic Spinball and Street Fighter II Turbo as £54.99 each, I must have only been 7 or 8 at the time.
It was 1993 that it came out (November which is why I got it for christmas). I never really got to play this game much however as my parents became addicted and would take the Mega Drive into the living room! I wasn't even allowed in the room to watch because if they died I would be accused of being a jinx, its about the only game I can think of where my Mum got so good she could beat it pretty easily. The high price was more of a factor with cartridges because the memory they used was expensive to produce. The more they needed the more expensive the game usually was, I am sure I remember some N64 games being more than £60. A DVD or blu ray disk is as cheap as dirt so all of the cost in these cases is the developers wanting to make more money!
My mother is a pussy cat really. Games change people, you should see me after 10 minutes of dying over and over again on Dark Souls!
Play.co.uk is quite cheap, but I think they hail from Guernsey so mail could be late, although I never had a problem when I used to use them.
You don't know how true that is Grim. I basically become completely consumed by rage once I play any CoD game for longer than 2 minutes.
