The royal mail is not holding any of the packages/deliveries at all.
The store/warehouse sending them is sending them on monday morning.
I got an email from Shopto.net who said they will be sending them on monday because activision requested it. Activision know since its a tuesday release many will get their games early (like halo reach), so they have tried to press some stores from sending it today/tomorrow.
I should still get mine on monday though..ahaha

r1sh125672d ago (Edited 5672d ago )

just to add.
I cancelled my shopto pre-order and ordered from HMV, 2 hours later I got an email saying its been dispatched.
Early release for me I hope.
Tomorrow unlikely,
Saturday - Good chance
Monday - If not the previous working days.
Activision are trying to have all pre-order copies sent out on monday, to be fair thats their own fault for having a tuesday release date.

retrofly5672d ago

Delivery companies/Royal mail are holding them until Monday. They have been dispatched from the retailers but are being held by the delivery companies at the request of Activision.

However some DO slip through the net.

FAGOL5672d ago

ahh you're kidding. Damn thought i'd get mine on friday.

FishCake9T45672d ago

I thought i would get mine early to but Amazon always mess about with deliveries to my area so im getting it from Sainsburys in the morning instead.

Thecraft19895672d ago

They must becuase most of mates have received there PC copies/ps3 copies/xbox copies from multiple places.

vhero5672d ago (Edited 5672d ago )

How can royal mail know what game are in the package without opening it? simple answer? they can't so they won't be If you want COD black ops before release date get it from shopto.net or GAME and you will get the game on Monday. Either way I am getting mine from Morrisons for £30 on Tuesday. People who pre-order a game like this are stupid as you will be paying an extra £15. The MOH trade deal people though are worse..

y0haN5672d ago (Edited 5672d ago )

Gettin' it from GAME for £27 :)

y0haN5672d ago

xtremexx pre-ordered it for £30 before they announced the Steam price, got £3 off with Game points. :)

Ve3tro5672d ago

Copies on eBay going for £55 delivered for Friday morning, though there are some greedy twats on it selling normal copies for £150.

DiLeCtioN5672d ago (Edited 5672d ago )

Am waiting for that budget deal, hope HMV don't change the MOH trade in and pay £7.99 for Blackops

wissam5672d ago

you are late cause it has been leaked ages ago.

Pandamobile5672d ago

He could be talking about the Steam version. Mine's downloading too.

Saryk5672d ago

Yep Steam version..........

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21460d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime459d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils459d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
