I live near Leeds and went to my local Game store (White Rose) to have a quick play with there demo unit. Must admit it was Fantastic. Found out whilst i was there that they are not having a midnight launch. They are going to open up at 7.00am instead

Just had 2 e-mails come through from ShopTo on my i-phone 2 minutes ago. My Assassins Creed 3 pre order is now being processed. Looks like everything will be with me for Friday. The anticipation is killing me now

That's my local Game too! I live in Morley. They never have midnight launches because it would necessitate keeping the whole centre open.

The Irish launch is on Friday too, I'll be getting mine from gamestop.

It's a small world illogicology. Maybe have to swap gamertags if your getting wiiu?

Well looks like my assassins creed 3 will be with me tomorrow, as ShopTo have now dispatched it lol. Will have to sit and stare at it untill Friday .

Yeah, with any luck Amazon will have mine to me on launch day. Doubt it'll be early. Only problem is that my budget won't stretch to many games, grabbing NSMBU and even that isn't likely to turn up on time.

You never know. The console might arrive on Thursday as all preorder games do from Shop To. Mine is also preordered with them and its being processed along with New Super Mario Bros U as one order even though I ordered NSMB U separately. Here's hoping everything arrives on Thursday. That said even though ill have to fight my lack of will power ill probably wait until Saturday to set it up. I still need to disconnect and remove my Wii in order to make room for the Wii U.

[illogicology]

I must admit, I'm crossing my fingers for a Thursday arrival. My order is with Amazon and hasn't dispatched yet but the rumour is Amazon starts dispatching tomorrow. If I'm lucky and it leaves early enough in the day, first class post could get it to me early. A whole extra day to set it up, get the update going etc. would be very welcome.

i actually work for Amazon, i am about to go to my desk in the next few hours and i may be able to give you an update on when we will start shipping them. As of Sunday we only had Zombiu Sets in and no basics or deluxe. Hopefully it wont be a mess like Black Ops 2, A few thousand people got it a day late :/ but then again there was way more copies. I know somebody said at Amazon about not shipping until Wednesday night at the earliest to ensure they dont get delivered early.

Any updates would be much appreciated. Going to such lengths to make sure they don't arrive early seems strange. I know Friday is release day and they don't want to upset Nintendo, but it doesn't seem to be much of a problem for ShopTo. I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose.

Not that I mind. I've had a lot of good experience with Amazon and so long as I get it on release day, I've nothing to complain about. I suppose they don't really need to worry about differentiating themselves from the competition, they are the competition.

My precious Wii U ZombiU bundle just got shipped. It should arrive on Thursday. MWAHAHA! Suck it, Britain! Norway FTW!

[Nollog]

I just done saw this.

I just gained 32 GB of space.

That's pretty cool. My camera's SD card actually came with one of those adapters. I'll have to try it out.

Got a phone call from my local Game today saying i am guaranteed a Zombi U Premium, i also have NintendoLand & Super Mario U ordered from the same store, i also have COD BO2 from Zavii coming to.

My Game is opening at midnight so i will be going to pick it up then

[reef7009]

I asked a nice chap at HMV today : "Sir , have you received shipment of the Wii U yet"? "Indeed we have Sir!....The ' U ' has landed" I was then told to present myself at the store on friday to collect Jolly Hockysticks!

[illogicology]

Mercy, is it Wednesday already? Amazon UK dispatches should kick off tonight, by all accounts. Excitement.

[Hunter]

Has anyone actually recieved their order already? I know people have gotten emails about it being on its way but these things are usually sent by a courier so i doubt anyone has got it early (especially from Asda since they probably stick to the rules and make sure it doesnt arrive early). I work in Tesco head office and there is a major shortage of Wii U deluxe consoles. Some people who have pre ordered wont get it until the 10th of December now so i think it depends on how early you pre ordered. Luckily i preordered mine ages ago and got an email saying mine was still due for delivery on friday

Oh and i just realised the games/pro controller i ordered from shopto.net has been shipped so looks like i might get that a day early

I'm not worried about stock problems affecting me really. Not only did I get my pre-order through back in September, but I ordered the Ghetto White model too.
