does this mean they would despatch within 24 hours as their status says or would they hold off despatching until closer to release date?

wouldn't mind getting this early as the reviews are in and I think the hill is getting steeper for PES and its fanboys

No PES talk! No need to whip that up, they can survive side by side. That said it does look like it's getting about as much praise and rated as highly as ANY previous football game. No reason for it not too seeing the demo, reviews and latest videos of the gameplay.

Play probably do have it in stock, as it's leaked onto the internet, but it's an electronic system that just registers when the stock gets in. They won't send before tuesday afaik, going by their past records.

yes, I agree with the above. It will likely be posted Monday / tuesday but wont (in all likelihood) arrive until Friday.

I am holding off getting this online, as the post office are having (yet more) wildcat strikes. That means that post could get backlogged and I definitely want this on Friday.

Just a warning, thats all, but the Post Office are so unpredictable with strikes etc.

Not sure whether to order with Shopto or not, we have no problems with the post in our area at the moment, but I think there's a pretty good chance that one or more of the supermarkets might sell it cheap. No inside info or anything, just guessing

[Hillskill]

I reckon pre-orders will start arriving as early as wednesday fellas I know alot of supermarkets will be getting their CD/DVD/Game stock deliveries on monday......who wants to be a true artful dodger and get the old Doris on the CD counter down Tescos to "check the stock room for that FIFA Game" on Tuesday morning

with play.com in regards to pre orders you'll still be likely to recieve the item a day before release

[lfcjake]

Probably sending them out early mainly because of the new postal strikes for this week. Should get them round Thursday/Friday.
