Hey Special Reserve say they aim to deliver pre-ordered games on day of release. Does anyone know if Play.com deliver on release day?

Thank you! :-)

Every time I've ordered from them it has always been 24 hours delivery.

Meh, I'm not complaining.

Yeah, play take ages to deliver.

Good savings though.

fair enough. But you sort of get the impression that it will be through your letter box in 24 hours. Oh well, its still faster than amazon without having to pay 3.95 for next day delivery.

It says dispatched in 24 hours, not delivered.

I like play.com for their free delivery and all but it does NOT arrive in 24 hours. Even though it states that it will beside every product. In reality things take 3-5 days, you are informed of this by email after you have ordered! What a rip! Cheap prices though.

SR Debit your card/account when you order, not when they ship.

SR usually manage to deliver on release day but only if you order about a week in advance, everytime I have ordered the Tuesday before the release it has never got here for Friday. By comparison you can order from a well known GAMEsite right up to 3PM thursday and odds are it will be on your doormat Friday morning.

Play.com I have never had anything turn up on release date - always at least a day after, four days after at worst.
