I was just before that, I think.DuncanWardle said:Will check email for the time when I get home but from memory it was around 1800hrs
Date was the 17th August
Amazon.co.uk said:We have been informed that the Xbox 360 will be in short supply on the day of release, and, unfortunately, this means we can't guarantee that pre-orders will be delivered by day of release. We are working with our suppliers to ensure that we fulfil all orders as soon as possible, and will ship the consoles as soon as we receive them.
What makes you think you'll get them? In Amazon's Terms & Conditions:Indiana Jones said:I pre-ordered the 5 games they had on Amazon on the 10th August, probaley wont want them all but at £29.99 each I can trade them in against a game I do want
Amazon.co.uk Terms & Conditions said:Despite our best efforts, a small number of the millions of products in our catalogue are mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product.

I have an XBox 360 pre-ordered with 3 different companies at the moment and I am going to wait until they know for sure how many they are getting and the first that emails me to say you will get it on release day gets the order.IanW said:Got my reply from Amazon 17/08/2005 21:01 for the deluxe pack. My only thing with Amazon is "Am I going to get this on the release day?"
I also went into Game this Saturday (27th) and have pre-ordered with them. The guy behind the till was adamant that I would get it on the release date. He said that they had a quota and this was being checked by Head Office on a regular basis (not sure if I believe this ) and that they would inform people if the release date was no longer possible.
This does leave me with the dilema of which one do I cancel and when?
