Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Hopefully the evening DHL shift will transport our parcels around the country for delivery tomorrow - that's what I'm thinking and hoping will happen.

Im thinking that will be the case, transported this afternoon/evening from East Mids to the local DHL depots, Teesside in our case, then on the van in the morning for delivery to us!

Im the same as you still...



If we do get it tomorrow it will be quite amazing really, having it a day before the street release date in its native country of the US of A!

And yes, my wife doesnt understand either, im trying to educate her, she doesnt mind Baseball though ive indoctrinated her into the finer arts of it

Yes, it will be amazing really..reading the other thread the US guys seem to be having real difficulty seeing it in the shops yet...be unbelievable if we're talking about it tomorrow and they're still struggling....

Good old VG+ and DHL (hopefully that's not tempting fate)..but can't complain so far can we...deffo looking like Tuesday at the latest, but intriugingly setup for a more than likely Monday...we'll see, hopefully later

Yes but they work weekends, as you can see its through that, thats the "clearance processing complete" bit i believe.

Super stuff really isnt it how quick they have got it to us, and to ship on the Friday as they did, well that was beyond our wildest dreams really

See you later to see if we get any more tracking updates today, Ninj, what me and you want to see is "arrived at local DHL facility Teesside" before the day is out

Im still sat at Heathrow.... I should have called them up and drove there, see if they would hand the copy over

Still I think all of us will see movement later on as the lorries etc roll out with a full load, that should see the game at a local depot and on a van for delivery....hopefully for Monday!

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

It's 'funny' how when they've hit the UK there's been no movement at all considering the first two days when it was in Canada & USA...that said, to be fair it is a Sunday! I'm sure the UK lads will know what I mean though lol

As Psycho has said I think we should see some movement either late tonight or overnight as the said packages are moved around to the respecitve regional areas - at least that's what we're all hoping for.

Hockey will keep me occupied tonight, with a quick refresh between periods, ok then between stoppages!!

Chins up guys, it's nearly here...

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Just had an email from VG+ to say my card has been declined Ordered again with the pay instantly option, and it seems to have gone through OK, hopefully won't get any more problems!

Nightmare mate, didnt realise VG+ worked today.... still at least the order should now be processing and on route from tomorrow.

Now I know the game is about 2 hours drive away from me... its getting harder to wait and the lack of DHL updates are even more frustrating.... but the realistic side of me knows/hopes that it will be shipped late at night once DHL have a full truck load of parcels.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

I bet you have had more than a small temptation to call DHL at Heathrow and ask if you can personally pick it up today havent you roolz? Admit it

I certainly would have mate, and im refreshing the tracking every '/2 hour in the hope of a change but, nothing yet....patience my son!

[Ninjoid]

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Thing is if Roolz had done that and got the game...I'd have picked you up Matt on the way down to Roolz's house....he could have fed the bairn while we played and emptied his fridge!

We'd have stayed over and helped with the parenting duties Alan...only fair!

C'mon tracker, get this update done....

Hi guys,

update on my order that never left Canada.

My credit card was declined. I can't explain how that could happen must have been a typo.Because I never had credit card debt my entire life.

However I am relieved to know what was wrong and apparently I'm the one to blame.

I renewed my order and play the waiting game.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Nice one max (sort of, if you get me lol), ive never known VG+ be anything other than world class when it comes to assistance and service, glad you have it worked out.

Ninj, damn right, not sure Mrs Roolz would have been too happy but we would have got through some crates on an all night Showathon for sure lol.

[Ninjoid]

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Yeah, good to hear Max, in a way!

At least you know what the issue is and have resolved it...hopefully by the end of the week you'll have it. At least you'll be able to track it and know when it's coming - providing you're with DHL of course which I think you were.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

And because I'm in a better mood now I would like to know more about the other euro baseball nuts.
I read that some of you guys have kids and it's great to know I'm not the only grown up man in Europe going crazy about a video game.

I would like to know how you got to love the game of baseball? It's safe to say Baseball isn't the most european sport. I don't know anybody who even understands the rules of baseball.

I got to Baseball because I went to Chicago during my college time in 1991/92 and spent two semesters there. Went to a White Sox-Yankees game with a friend of mine.First I was bored as hell and started to root against the Yankees just to get on my friend's nerves. But as Frank Thomas in the 4th or 5th inning hit a HR(it took forever to get through the first 3 innings) I finally started to get excited and found my new favorite team the White Sox.

Obviously there is not much TV coverage for Baseball in Germany and my relationship to Baseball cooled off. But thanks to the Internet and MLB.TV today I can watch every game now and Baseball became my favorite sport.

Now that Frank Thomas retired and (hopefully) heads to Cooperstown in 5 years I plan to get there when he gets in.
Of course I will sell that to my wife as a trip to New York for our anniversary.
