Gamestop UK (H4)

i preo-ordered H4 LE from Gamestop UK and was wondering;

  1. is it a good place to order from?! are they reliable
  2. if we get the vote bonuses that the US Gamestop get?!
    there the only 2 main questions i have atm so yeah if you can answer them would be realy helpfull cheers :slight_smile:

I know Gamestop from US and they are good, if they are the same as here in US then your fine for choosing them.

Your second question not completely sure on, I would hope you would get all the vote bonuses, it would be nice if we unified these things more!

1)Price is much higher than anywhere else ~ÂŁ10 more than most, never used gamestop so not sure how good they are. But amazon and play are ÂŁ10 less. If you looking for places which are good with handling high volumes and getting it on release day guaranteed i would say shopto.net are one of the better options for uk people.

  1. Not sure which pre order bonuses you get but if it doesnt say it on the product page i would say no.

My friend pre-ordered the limited edition version of gears of war 3 which came out on tuesday from them and he got it on saturday. They left a note in the package saying “Don’t play until Tuesday” too which I still find to be quite funny. I don’t know if they will ever pull off something like that again though.

Do you mean Gamestation? I have never seen a Gamestop in the UK. Only game retailers I know are GAME, Gamestation, HMV, Amazon, Grainger (never seen it but it’s here) and CEX (the latter only sells pre-owned games).

There’s the list of all UK pre-orders. Gamestation/Gamestop don’t appear to be there.

WOW do you mean early or late?!?!?

Early. Same happened with my friends and Amazon with both Gears 2 and Reach, they had it 2 days before release. Played online and didn’t get banned, let’s be honest why would they? MS knows the retailers do that a lot.
Not like the situation now, 3 weeks prior and people are playing, retailers never do that, at most they make an error of 5 days.

Early, it came 3 days early and I was gutted about it because I pre-ordered from game who usually post early too. They posted it early deliberately too because of the note they left. As I said I don’t know if they have done that more than once or will do it again.

wow i have high hopes now, whether it comes 2 days early or on time i dont mind cos i got the 6th off college (i always have tuesday off) :smiley: and 2-3 days early its the weekend :smiley:

right… well i asked about if we get the Gamestop vote bonuses and they said no its specialy for US… WHY THE ******************************************************* IS IT ONLY FOR THE F***************************************************** US!!! THIS P***** ME OFF SO MUCH WHEN THEY DO THIS!!!
what makes them more special yes the game was made there but have i or have i not pre-ordered from Gamestop yes the UK one but its still gamestop, same brand, same branch just in a differant country!!
