Us Brits are still waiting...
Archive: 129 posts
In Britain, LittleBigPlanet 2 is not due to be released until friday... I was convinced it was coming through the mail today, but it didn't. I checked amazon, to find it wasn't due to be released until the 21st. Any ideas why we are delayed? Thanks, Struanmcd | 2011-01-18 19:00:00 Author: Struanmcd ![]() Posts: 333 |
I checked Play this morning and it said it's been dispatched, I might get mine tomorrow or Thursday. Also hasn't games always been released in UK on Fridays? | 2011-01-18 19:08:00 Author: LordMagicPants ![]() Posts: 187 |
I never thought I'd say this, but there have been several threads posted EVERY DAY since the release dates were announced! We have to wait longer because that's how Sony market the games. There's a slightly bigger market for games in the US. | 2011-01-18 19:08:00 Author: Weretigr ![]() Posts: 2105 |
My Play.com order was disptached just before 10 this morning. I'm hoping for a Thursday delivery, though I'm expecting it on Friday. ![]() | 2011-01-18 19:12:00 Author: Southpaw020 ![]() Posts: 50 |
In a way, its a good thing that the game is being released on a Friday, because then we can play it all through the weekend with no work and whatnot distracting us. If you think that way, the wait will become a lot shorter... ![]() | 2011-01-18 19:15:00 Author: FlipMeister ![]() Posts: 631 |
If you pre ordered it, Im afraid its most likely to come on Friday ![]() Plus, Im really ****** off at how LBPC have seemed to forgotten we haven't even gotten the game yet!! The US have it, But we have to wait for another two or three days. And about the coming on friday, Im not 100% it will, but it might do. Im expecting it for Thursday, but Im not sure it will. It might, but I wouldn't get your hopes too high :/ | 2011-01-18 19:17:00 Author: Alternative_sack ![]() Posts: 409 |
If you ordered from Play.com there's a good chance you'll get it Thursday. Nearly all my pre-orders from Play have come a day early. I got mine from Game (I ordered the CE) and I doubt I'll get it Thursday. I never get games early from Game ![]() | 2011-01-18 19:26:00 Author: alexbull_uk ![]() Posts: 1287 |
Yeah, Games always come out on Fridays here, unless it's a massive AAA release, like Halo. The US always gets games on Tuesday though. That's just how it is. | 2011-01-18 19:46:00 Author: Unknown User ![]() |
Plus, Im really ****** off at how LBPC have seemed to forgotten we haven't even gotten the game yet!! In what sense has "LBPC forgotten"? I certainly haven't. :/ | 2011-01-18 19:47:00 Author: Aya042 ![]() Posts: 2870 |
games over here are released fridays, so that's why (: some may get them to you by thursday, if you're lucky. Just checked my order on GAME, mine got dispatched today, so thursday or friday for me! (: | 2011-01-18 19:53:00 Author: Matimoo ![]() Posts: 1027 |
And it appears the Netherlands are drifting out to sea. While the big announcement says mainland europe gets it tomorrow the 19th, playstation.nl says we get it friday the 21st. ![]() | 2011-01-18 20:04:00 Author: Rogar ![]() Posts: 2284 |
There's actually a chance you'll get it tomorrow if it were dispatched early today. I've had loads of games come the day after they were despatched from a preorder I haven't preordered.. I'ma just have to buy it on friday after college / fail | 2011-01-18 20:07:00 Author: DrunkMiffy ![]() Posts: 2758 |
Lucky everyone, I have to wait God knows how much time to buy this game... May vary from a week to months... :/ | 2011-01-18 20:08:00 Author: gdn001 ![]() Posts: 5891 |
agreed with gdn, brazil will need to wait a long time until it arrives in stores, even more if we need the european version I need the european version to get all my dlc transfered from lbp to lbp2 | 2011-01-18 20:20:00 Author: ViniciusBR11 ![]() Posts: 546 |
Yes, I know ?.? Meh, we'll have to wait, we've waited the many months since May, 3 more days won't hurt. As I mentioned, Amazon have always had it on release day, except 1 time, when it was one day late because of a postal strike. I'm 99% sure I'll have it before next Monday. Having said that, I wish I'd done Play.com Also, I thought you had to go and get it yourself at GAME? | 2011-01-18 20:52:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |

Pre-ordered since ages on Amazon. Arrival Date: 20/21st January. I don't mind whether it comes on Thursday or Friday tbh. I have college and stuff, and I know the game will distract me. Can't forget that real life comes first! ![]() | 2011-01-18 23:04:00 Author: standby250 ![]() Posts: 1113 |

Well, I think they are released on the days the store updates, hence why US get it on Tuesday. Does the Uk store update on Friday? | 2011-01-19 03:33:00 Author: tomodon246 ![]() Posts: 624 |
Well, I think they are released on the days the store updates, hence why US get it on Tuesday. Does the Uk store update on Friday? No it updates on a wednesday because that's when games get released in continental europe. They update each countries ps store at the same time. | 2011-01-19 08:23:00 Author: Rabid-Coot ![]() Posts: 6728 |

OMG, the **** dutchies did getthe lbp2 shipment in, but all stores are so afraid of the big bad sony, they wont sell it untill sony gives a go.. which means they prolly wanna sell it 21-23th... how dare they! | 2011-01-19 10:01:00 Author: Luos_83 ![]() Posts: 2136 |

Call me crazy, but I always thought the Netherlands were part of the European mainland! Who knew it wasn't?! I mean, the Americans seem to think it isn't, and the Americans are ALWAYS right. In case you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. (I don't have anything against Americans, I'm just frustrated as HELL that Sony seems to be forgetting all about us Dutchmen) | 2011-01-19 10:23:00 Author: Unknown User ![]() |
I agree, I keep calling random gameshops till i find someone who doesnt know about regulations and just sells me the game ![]() There is always a salesmen that sells pre-date ![]() (mostly the dutch saleswoman sell pre-date though) | 2011-01-19 10:28:00 Author: Luos_83 ![]() Posts: 2136 |
Mine got dispatched from GAME this morning, and with express delivery that means it'll be here tomorrow right? RIGHT? right you guys? I'll get it tomorrow for sure :/ | 2011-01-19 11:06:00 Author: groble ![]() Posts: 223 |

For the dutch people (in a Brit thread? ![]() ![]() | 2011-01-19 11:18:00 Author: Rogar ![]() Posts: 2284 |
Congrats Rohar, I just called all the shops in my town and a few around it, one said they might have it in, in about an hour.. Physical stores and online stores usually have nothing in common. Keep that in mind. I know, but in the netherlands, the actual internet stores (for e-plaza/bart smit/intertoys/nedgames) are in direct access with the physical stores, mail them, and if you leave a phone no. someone from your local shop will call you. More than often when a game is released, we get about 6 phonecalls within an hour of eachother. And then the bidding starts ![]() *oh.. but that shop just called and only asked 60 euro's for the game* "Well i am happy to sell it to you for 55 euro's" | 2011-01-19 11:25:00 Author: Luos_83 ![]() Posts: 2136 |
Hehe, you really keep up the dutch image! ![]() Me, I'm lazy, and I want that preorder stuff. Too bad I have to work today, but I'll probably leave early. Oh, and Rohar is that Dragontamer fellow. Edit: Not that it's bad to be confused for him, at least he has cool levels. ![]() | 2011-01-19 11:30:00 Author: Rogar ![]() Posts: 2284 |

I've been doing the exact same thing, except the majority of them seem to know about the 21st release date.. and then I have to play the dumb 'oh my bad, thought it was the 18th' part xD | 2011-01-19 18:33:00 Author: DrunkMiffy ![]() Posts: 2758 |
i don't mind waiting till the 21st. But what i don't need is people on my friends list messaging me with stuff like 'i got the real game' when im playing the demo. I hate show-offs -.- | 2011-01-19 18:33:00 Author: Elektrobank ![]() Posts: 29 |

A man came with a letter today after school. I was excited. It was a piano stand my mum got for my sister ![]() I also can't check when it's been dispatched, I'm just going to have to hope it's there when I get home tommorrow, or Friday. | 2011-01-19 21:44:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |
I have exams on Friday, which means when I get home I will have the pleasant surprise of LBP2 CE waiting for me to take away all the exam tension! ![]() I love you MM!

I'm going insane here.... but then again my copy could be here tomorrow (1 day delivery) | 2011-01-19 22:19:00 Author: Pattington_Bear ![]() Posts: 777 |
In Britain, LittleBigPlanet 2 is not due to be released until friday... I was convinced it was coming through the mail today, but it didn't. I checked amazon, to find it wasn't due to be released until the 21st. Any ideas why we are delayed? Thanks, Struanmcd Dont know if someones already said this, as i cba to read the 4 pages of posts, but at least here in the UK the trading law enforces the "street date" system. Meaning no retailer is allowed to sell that game before the scheduled release date, now this has ALWAYS been a Friday since the enforcement of the law in the UK. This is to stop larger games companies from selling the game cheaply to customers days before smaller retailers can get stock and therefore giving themselves an advantage. This applies not only to games but any form of hard copy media. Since then, games publishers have gone along with it and just set all their release dates around friday's as its easier for them to ship out to the stores in the week leading up to the friday knowing that no one will be selling it before that friday comes around, Im unaware if its an actual law in the US but it generally is always a tuesday over there. However, there are some companies who are willing to release on a different day over here (COD being the most obvious example) as they've always released on a tuesday even in the UK, however they can do this as they make sure every retailer has stock before the tuesday release therefore conforming to the regulations. However the one loop hole in the UK is purely the fact that this law does NOT apply to online transactions, as here in the UK we have seperate laws reguarding online transactions, this means that retailers can send out pre-orders online before the friday, however due to the fact they dont often recieve the stock untill the tues/weds before hand they generally get it to you either on the thursday, or the release date itself. Hence why Amazon wont give you a copy till thurs/friday, they dont legally HAVE to... but they do so that they conform to the other stores. Yea....thought id throw that out there. | 2011-01-19 22:58:00 Author: Fatedheart ![]() Posts: 24 |

I never get a delivery early. NEVER. Oh well, I guess thats what you get with Amazon; punctuality. Next time, I think i'll go with Play.com, like I've seen other have.

My dilemma at the moment....go to work on Friday? Im handing in my notice on Monday, so is there much point??....Ahhh, I guess so. Darn. Don't do it! I'm still waiting and their delivery times are getting slower. After ages of being let down by pre-orders from several companies, I've came to the conclusion that if you want it guaranteed on release day, just buy it from a store. My postman doesn't bother showing up til dinner time, so I could have just bought it in the morning! Waste of time. | 2011-01-20 14:06:00 Author: Southpaw020 ![]() Posts: 50 |

Next time, I think i'll go with Play.com, like I've seen other have. Don't do it! I'm still waiting and their delivery times are getting slower. Agreed. I pre-ordered Fable 3's Collector's Edition from Play.com, since it was sold out at the time I ordered. Release date comes. Okay, I'm from the Netherlands. It'll take a few days. A few days pass. I read that, regardless of pre-order or what, it'll take 7 to 10 days. Okay! Disappointed, but fair enough. A week passes since release date. No package. THREE WEEKS AFTER THAT. Finally, my Collector's Edition arrives. I was JUST about to write an email to Play to demand a refund. So, honestly. Don't ever go with Play.com. | 2011-01-20 14:58:00 Author: Melfice ![]() Posts: 269 |
C'mon, the one time GAME are good for anything, it has to be this. I too am wishing I'd go and buy it, if it's not there when I ge thome tommorrow, I will have a sad panda face.

Just got in and was extremely dissapointed to see no post for me today, so I walked into my room to (sulk) do something fun. only to find that my housemate had put it on my bed ![]() | 2011-01-20 17:14:00 Author: groble ![]() Posts: 223 |
I've been sitting around doing nothing for six hours today, waiting for the postman to turn up. He never did. ![]() What makes me so annoyed is that almost everyone else who preordered from Game got their copy today. And now becuase of the rubbish postal service, I have to wait until probably tomorrow afternoon. What's the point in preordering if you'd get it sooner if you wait to buy it from the store?? I might just wake up early in the morning and go to a supermarket or somewhere and buy an extra copy to save waiting any longer. EDIT: It JUST came! Excuse my above rant. But still, it's pretty late for the postman to be delivering, almost 6pm! | 2011-01-20 17:27:00 Author: Nuclearfish ![]() Posts: 927 |

My copy got dispatched this morning. Given I'm up in the northeast of Scotland I'm worried the game might not arrive on release day (And I'm visiting friends on Saturday, so if it arrives then and I'm not there to sign I might even have to wait into next week), but all the same, I'm waiting patiently. Amazon UK are usually good at shipping quickly, so there's all likeliness it'll arrive on time tomorrow. If not, no big deal, I'll just go bowling with friends this weekend, enjoy some other games like Garry's Mod or Just Cause, and do some more planning for my LBP2 ideas! I don't see this as a delay (Though I am disappointed that we didn't get it first seeing as MediaMolecule -are- a British company XD), I figure a staggered release like this is the best way to avoid too much strain on the LBP servers at any one time. Look at the release day for Halo 3 and Halo Reach, the servers pretty much went down within minutes of players all getting online for a frag-fest. XD (No offense intended towards Halo players, of course - I'm a Halo fan myself, and am part of a gaming clan that primarily plays Halo. XD) | 2011-01-20 18:05:00 Author: ChazFox ![]() Posts: 132 |

Man, I'm in NZ, was released yesterday, but the store I preordered from said they arrive today, ugh.. | 2011-01-20 20:43:00 Author: midnight_heist ![]() Posts: 2513 |
Getting it a day early made my dad. In fact today has been the bets day of 2011 so far ![]() Now if only I didn't get my sackboy t-shirt, hoody and sackbots sent to the wrong address I'd be in LBP heaven | 2011-01-21 00:33:00 Author: groble ![]() Posts: 223 |
My copy came in just now, I'm playing through the starting credits as I type this. Amazon UK, I think I'm in love with you all over again. XD | 2011-01-21 10:51:00 Author: ChazFox ![]() Posts: 132 |
Still not here, yet they had the cheek to rub it in by sending me the Jak & Daxter DLC codes. NEVER pre-ordering online again. | 2011-01-21 11:23:00 Author: Southpaw020 ![]() Posts: 50 |
Well................. I'm never ordering from Play again. | 2011-01-21 13:39:00 Author: LordMagicPants ![]() Posts: 187 |

you know what would teach them a lesson? giving me the Jak & Daxter code. that'll teach them for sure ![]() Lol, I'll be keeping them for my 'compensation'. I'll be picking the game up from Asda this evening. Then sending Play's back to them when it decides to arrive. I'll keep the DLC codes as a bonus, as they never did send me my Halo: Reach pre-order bonus codes anyway! This is the finish though. Certainly no more pre ordering for me. Just as easy buying it on release day morning, than having to rely on these donkeys! | 2011-01-21 16:36:00 Author: Southpaw020 ![]() Posts: 50 |
Had my copy pre-ordered since LAST JULY and it still hasn't arrived on the due date, I'm friggin livid!!!!!! Well................. I'm never ordering from Play again. Amen to that. | 2011-01-21 16:42:00 Author: Pete1991 ![]() Posts: 225 |
I've got the dispatched e-mail, and I've got the Ratchet and Clank codes. But no game. Having said that, we haven't had any post, maybe they're late. My copy came in just now, I'm playing through the starting credits as I type this. Amazon UK, I think I'm in love with you all over again. XD Wha? But, how, why? Also, I doubt I'll pre-order again. Much simpler to go to a shop. Also, I don't think pre-order date matters. My friend ordered on Wednesday and siad he's got his, I ordered in September. | 2011-01-21 17:13:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |

No post here today can't blame Play they sent it early tuesday morning. Royal Fail are the ones I'm raging at.

I hate royal mail with a burning passion THIS! Hey we have your stuff, but we'll only let you go get it during the hours that you're at work so you have to spend your petrol money to get here whilst taking the hours wages from your paycheck.

Anyone ordered from Play got theres yet? OMG I did. It's been dispatched | 2011-01-21 18:00:00 Author: IheartLBP ![]() Posts: 12 |
God Royal Mail suck, especially when you have parents that don't see the importance of it and my impatience, meaning I have to wait longer ?.? I've practically given up for today, if it doesn't come tommorrow then the service will have been worse than when there was a postal strike, which isn't good. | 2011-01-21 18:04:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |

I'm angry! If I don't get it tommorow, my mum's going to ring up Play.com. It isn't play.com. You should have received an dispatch email on tuesday. Play.com have held up to their part, it's royal fail being so massively inept is why you havent got your copy yet | 2011-01-21 18:13:00 Author: Pete1991 ![]() Posts: 225 |

MORE LIKE LET-DOWN MAIL | 2011-01-21 18:30:00 Author: IheartLBP ![]() Posts: 12 |
The only way I can figure it is that since Play.com offer free delivery they can't afford to use first class stamps, so it's really as and when Royal Fail decide they feel like delivering the parcel that the workers there actually get off their seats and do anything | 2011-01-21 18:54:00 Author: Pete1991 ![]() Posts: 225 |

Also it'll fit through the letterbox so there's no risk of the evil card. | 2011-01-21 19:08:00 Author: Rabid-Coot ![]() Posts: 6728 |
Nothing. I'm sitting with LBP1 on my screen, while PSN is littered with "LittleBigPlanet 2 (UK) Empty Level 1/4". If it's not here on Saturday, my friend said he'll invite me round, so I'll at least get to play it this weekend. | 2011-01-21 20:29:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |

Could you not buy it from a store, keep your receipt and then return the copy you ordered online to the store with the receipt? this should work as my friend did it with his WoW Catacylsm CE | 2011-01-21 20:52:00 Author: groble ![]() Posts: 223 |
Could you not buy it from a store, keep your receipt and then return the copy you ordered online to the store with the receipt? this should work as my friend did it with his WoW Catacylsm CE Not really, I'm too young to drive, and returning stuff isn't easy (plus, Ive returned stuff before, they don't give you the full amount). And, I'm pretty sure I'll get it tomorrow, I can wait a bit more. Who else has ordered from Amazon, have they got it? It seems everyone's either Play.com or GAME, which is suprising. | 2011-01-21 21:11:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |

preorder from GAME, everyone who's preordered from GAME as far as I can tell got theirs early or on time | 2011-01-21 21:40:00 Author: groble ![]() Posts: 223 |
I don't think I did. I ordered from game and nothing came through the door today. I have a package waiting at the post office, but as that is "too big for your letterbox" and I'm expecting something else, I think I may have missed out on my delivery too... Not that it matters in my case, just saying, Game didn't get it to me on time ![]() | 2011-01-21 21:56:00 Author: rtm223 ![]() Posts: 6497 |
My pre-ordered copy from Play.com did not arrive today. I am hoping that it comes either tomorrow (I have had deliveries on saturday before so it is possible) or Monday at the latest | 2011-01-21 22:03:00 Author: cthulhu82 ![]() Posts: 211 |
If you are returning a product which is unopened and you have the receipt for it I'm pretty sure it's your legal right to be given a full refund (please correct me if I'm wrong on this) I'm fairly certain you're wrong, but I'm not a lawyer. In the UK, although most stores have a policy to give a refund for 'unwanted' items (or at least store credit), they're under no legal obligation to do so. Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sale_of_Goods_Act_1979), they're only obliged to offer a full refund if the product is not of "satisfactory quality". | 2011-01-21 22:22:00 Author: Aya042 ![]() Posts: 2870 |
I stand corrected ![]() Most stores will still do it though | 2011-01-21 22:47:00 Author: groble ![]() Posts: 223 |
Most stores will do it, but they aren't obliged to. At one point, when I was working there, I know Sainsbury's wouldn't give refunds on CD's ect. due to piracy, though in those cases if the customer asked to talk to one of the managers they'd put it through anyway and make those of us who had to follow the rules look mean and belligerent... However, if you buy online, it's distance selling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Protection_%28Distance_Selling%29_Regulat ions_2000) and you have 7 days to change your mind. But, importantly, if it is software then it cannot be unsealed. Isn't law fun? | 2011-01-21 23:06:00 Author: rtm223 ![]() Posts: 6497 |
Play said they dispatched Tuesday but my copy still hasn't arrived. I know they didn't actually dispatch it that day because everything from them always takes 2 days to arrive for me, no exceptions. I'm not bothered if I get it a few days late I just know that I'm going to have to chase them for the Jak and Daxter codes like I always have to, unless the codes come in the box and not by email. | 2011-01-21 23:17:00 Author: Ayneh ![]() Posts: 2454 |

They should have emailed you. I got my codes today. No game though. So I bought it this evening. Sending Play;s back when it finally shows up. They ain't etting my money again. Been messed about too much by them. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't recieve them. They never sent my Halo: Reach DLC codes that they said I would recieve. The annoying thing now is trying to replay every level, making sure not to miss any prizes, as I can't wait to get into create mode! | 2011-01-21 23:22:00 Author: Southpaw020 ![]() Posts: 50 |

Thanks, I might as well email them now then. They are usually good but when it comes to pre-ordering games they seem to send you a dispatch email early or something. That or "dispatched" means "sitting in the loading bay". | 2011-01-21 23:32:00 Author: Ayneh ![]() Posts: 2454 |
Just grabbed my copy from town today. Morrison's and Grainger Games have the standard UK copy for ?35 if anyones looking for a good deal. Have been away from the LBP community for a long time. Game is breathtaking, what people have already done with it is breathtaking. Really feel somewhat like a flea in a storm with regards to returning to maybe some more level creating after so long, and the community has essentially super-talent now blowing everyone else out of the water! Will see what I can muster. Loving the single-player so far anyway! | 2011-01-21 23:47:00 Author: Luckett_X ![]() Posts: 34 |
i am waiting the shadows... watching carefully... waiting for the moment to strike... i reach for my pocket... pull out my wallet... and i say... please can i go to the shops and get lbp2? | 2011-01-22 11:32:00 Author: unXpectiD ![]() Posts: 1132 |
Still nothin, what's the purpose of pre-order if you get it a million years after the release date again? | 2011-01-22 11:39:00 Author: LordMagicPants ![]() Posts: 187 |

Good job I bought a copy last night, as my Play.com pre order still hasn't arrived! I would be pee'd right off if I didn't buy another one last night... Well, I actually am furious with them. They'll be getting a email later! ![]() I'm not holding Royal Mail fully responsible. Play.com shouldn't falsely advertise as 'In Stock: Usually Dispatched within 24 hours" at least 4 days before they had any intention of shipping them, to rake in a few last minute sales, like they always do. | 2011-01-22 13:22:00 Author: Southpaw020 ![]() Posts: 50 |

My copy still hasn't arrived. ![]() Ordered from Play. Ouch :/ Yeah, I would buy a copy somewhere else. You might not get refunded all of it, but if you don't even open the packaging, hopefully you'll be fine. I think this has taught as all a valuable lesson: Don't preorder from Play.com | 2011-01-24 21:41:00 Author: kirbyman62 ![]() Posts: 1893 |
Breaking news...LBP2 will be released today in Italy...except for the CE that who knows when it will be released, maybe at the end of the week, maybe the next week. Congrats... | 2011-01-25 10:25:00 Author: OmegaSlayer ![]() Posts: 5112 |
