Dear Kevin,

Thank you for preordering Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition from GAME.co.uk

for launch day. As a result, we will be processing your order and charging your payment card a
little earlier than usual.

If your payment is processed successfully you will receive an email letting you know that your
order is on its way. Your order won't reach you early, the email just means it's being held ready for
delivery on launch day.

If there is a problem with your order you may receive an email informing you that your order
has been cancelled. This could be due to a problem with your payment method. If your order
is cancelled in this way please check that your payment details are correct and place a new
order at You must login or register to view this content.

Modern Warfare 3 is released on 8th November and Activision, who publish it, have worked very

this request. Your order is being despatched by ParcelForce who have a 99.2% next
day delivery rate. We will ensure that your order is despatched via ParcelForce in time for release day.
Please note that all courier tracking numbers wont be active until the evening before launch.

I had a feeling what was in the email wasn't going to actually happen, I reckon they'll ship the games earlier than the day before but make out they will to keep activision happy and act like they're adhering to the rules.
Makes sense because there would be way too many games shipped all on the same day, I doubt game would have the resources.

GAME don't need "resources" they don't have to do anything, 50-60 Royal Mail and Parcel Force Lorries / Vans come and pick it up from the warehouse in Basing-stoke and The games will be shipped to More Local shipping centers, they will be then delivered from those centers on the 7th Smile but there is a big chance that a few pallets get delivered early to clear up room in the holding centers :p .

Ah right, well it sounds like you know more than me, I was just speculating.

As you say though, I think there will be some sent early regardless of the rules activision have made.

This is from shopto.net

Due to restrictions in place by the publisher we (and all other retails) will be dispatching this on the Monday 7th November. Most Royal Mail deliveries are next working day though so this should reach you for release.

Regards,

Antony

It seems the best option is midnight release

Yep, I phoned them and they said if you go in store and pre order you can collect it at midnight, providing they are doing a midnight release of course, so make sure you ask them that first.

All of my local game stores are doing midnight launch but some are saying there's no stock of the Hardened whatsoever and others are saying there is, so I think it's store dependent at the moment as to stock availability.
