I'm sure everyone is aware of the current postal strikes at the moment throughout the uk . . . ?
anyway after pre-ordering my copy of pes 2008 ps3 ages ago from play.com, these strikes started to worry me desperately. usually play send there copies out so we can recieve it the day before/day of release. i rang play.com to check whether this would still be the case . . . .
they told me that "this is still the procedure", however. . . after confirmation from royal mail in various news articles that strike action will be ongoing from the week starting 15th october . . i can't see me getting my copy until at least a good few days after the 26th.
i have now cancelled my pre-oder and will now just go to a shop on the morning of friday 26th and purchase it from there. this way i will be certain to get a copy on the day of release( GAME, GAMESTATION, AND HMV SAID THEY WILL ALL BE GETTING HUNDREDS OF COPIES IN EACH STORE).
sorry to be the pain in the ass that breaks the news but i thought i should make everybody aware. cheers again.
