My lovely Gameaday prize, Paper Mario 2: The Thousand year door... hasn't arrived. Which is one of my most anticipated games this year.

So I wait a week. Just to give it time to arrive.

It still hadn't arrived so I finally decided to give SR a call and moan a bit about my missing title.

The friendly sales rep on the other side of the phone, Daniel I believe his name was, informs me I have to wait till the 22nd to call them. Something about giving Royal Mail ample time. Then I give SR another call and they'll send a letter to me detailing. If by the 25th the game still hasn't arrived (which it won't) I am to send the letter back to SR. (starting to make less sense)

Then and only then will they send the game to me.

Which means, going on my calculations, I won't get the game till early December. November 30th at the very latest.

An absolutley pointless time as I'll be playing Metroid Prime 2 and have no time for the little Nintendo RPG gem. Which also means that the following weeks will be spent re-playing Pikmin or even not playing any games at all.

Surly there has to be a better system than that!

Comiserations, but you're posting this in the wrong forum.

Unlucky Dringo.

You'll still have time to fit it in though.

It should be here today / tomorrow from Play.
That was after I cancelled my Amazon order, which decided on Friday to take 1-2 weeks to get here.

I thought you didn't have a Gamecube at the moment anyway.

I got a new one less than a week later.

As was the plan.

It arrived today, played it for about an hour.

Memories came flooding back and another epic paper mario quest began.

Excellent.
