Hey guys, I have ordered Ghost recon and fight night today from gameplay.co.uk which are both out on friday, do i have a chance of them arriving on day of release or is it too late?

After many hours in the bar and then in the common room a friend and I both wanted a new game and a memory card (I think it was for the dreamcast) We ordered at about 3am. When I got up at 8/9am We both had a parcel waiting for us.
I've never seen a company manage something like that before, I'm not even sure how its possible.
Short of hand delivery, that is physically impossible surely? Maybe after your many hours in the bar you passed out for 24 hours...?!?Noggin1980 said:While at university gameplay acheived an unbeliveable feat.

same for everyone else?
There's an option to get delivery by silver jiffy bag that is designed to be posted whether you're in or not - unless you have a huge letterbox, the box probably won't fit. And no, it's not recorded, just regular first class.xXTwin BladeXx said:ok cheers guys got my hopes up now lol another question, do they post it through the letter box or do they knock on the door? oh and is it recorded delivery?
They usually post on wednesday to arrive on thursday. Expect your order to change to dispatched tomorrow if everything is on target.RizL4- said:mine says

Ironically that doesn't work out so well for pre-orders. I've had a few friends that have tried next day and because it's guaranteed to arrive next day Gameplay send them on a Thursday for a Friday release day delivery. If using one of the other delivery methods, they send them on the Wednesday because it can take up to two days and they send them to be with you on release. Usually though, it only takes one day to reach you so the cheaper delivery options usually work out better.Highlander1 said:Wouldnt it make sense to use the £4.99 service, next day delivery. Then you will be guaranteed it next day instead of leaving up to the postman.
