Gamesplanet.co.uk SUCKS!
 

I pre-ordered CM4 on 3/11/03 and it still hasn't shipped. SI says all companies who ordered have had their games in stock for a few days now. People who ordered from GamePlay actually got theirs a day early (in England, of course).

Gamesplanet states on their site that anyone who didn't get their order in by 3/21 won't receive theirs right away...yet I ordered on 3/11 and mine isn't even shipped (the site even says they're 'awaiting stock'.)

UGH.

Err, just to cheer you up some more. I ordered on the 22nd, and mine shipped Wednesday.

I ordered on the 22nd, but mine hasn't shipped yet. Bastard.

Calis, you order from Gamesplanet as well?

This'll be my first CM experience...Hattrick got me into the soccer scene, now I'm expecting CM to ruin my life...in a good way, of course :)

Sheesh, disregard my ramblings, I should read what is posted more carefully before replying. I ordered from GamePLAY.

Sorry about that. I was too eager to jump on the make someone feel even worse than they already do boat. :)

I know. The last time I ever bring up where I order something. I've ordered from them before without a problem.

that's too bad. i have been playing my copy all evening.

Not your fault...you found the great price...which is the only reason sticking it out with them is worthwhile.

It'sa bout $12 less than gameplay...

I'm with you, rexallsc. I saw the same thread here and also ordered that day (March 11). I didn't find the March 21 thing, but I didn't do as much research into it as you did. :)

As you said, they seem to be awaiting stock. Ugh.

Glad I'm getting into OOTP5, so I can maybe try not thinking about waiting for this.

Chief Rum

Yeh, in the end, I'm sure I'll only get it a few days after I would've rec'd it through GamePlay, and the $ difference is nice...I just hate to be hte guy who is waiting while everyone else is playing!

One good thing: there will probably be patches for all major bugs by the time we get it :)

I ordered it on the 17th and it hasn't shipped either.

Oh well, I have Divine Divinity and Galactic Civ is out.

I forgot to mention that I emailed them 2 days ago w/o a response.

Nothing I hate more than being ignored by the company I'm ordering from :/

Here is a email sent to some:
