Yes, but might take up to a month to deliver it, as they did on my last release day purchase. The guy sitting next to me ordered the same game, on the same console, at the same time, and got it within a week.
Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun?

just checked my play order (as they were the only ones with it lised originally) and they've confirmed they're doing it @ £9.99 (less than when I ordered) :)

Agree with HMV - I've had emails weeks after release dates saying 'out of stock' but still listed on site grrr!!!!!!

Don't think you can go wrong with Amazon or play really pretty similar in the end when it comes to price and service - wouldn't touch HMV with a shitty stick - slow and outdated! CDWOW are not bad for price but v slow -is there anyone else out there worth trying?

cduniverse were pretty quick ... got CoS american versoin before it was even released here.

I have amazon prime, so I use that almost exclusively. Very good, and well worth 50 quid a year.

101cd.com - ok

Asda / Tesco / Sainsbury have it on day of release usually, and are competitive.

I buy all xbox / ps3 games from shopto.net. Best company I have dealt with, ever.

bangcd are exceptionally cheap, but if they don't state different, they use asian imports.

$16.84 US at CDUniverse, not bad. I'm in no hurry, given it is not "new" music, and I'm sure there will be deals to be had.

Sadly, I see that Virgin is closing it's megastores in New York and San Francisco in April, leaving only 3 locations in the US (Orlando, LA, Denver)---for the time being, anyway. There will be big liquidation sales, but that doesn't mean a good deal. I went to a Tower store when they went out of business, and the liquidation company marks the prices up to full-list retail, then discounts down to about what you would have paid before, or higher---and anything any good gets picked over early. I think I bought a Martha Wainwright single for about $5, just to not feel I had completely wasted my time...

That is totally typical of what happens when the liquidators step in. The very identical thing happened here when Woolies went bust at Christmas.

You hadn't! :)

Now you're sittin' on a Paris train, laughing at your own jokes again

Yeah, but on the last day, they reduced prices by 50%, then 70%, and finally 90%.

Got a nice "Rolling Stones R&R Circus" DVD for £2.23, amongst other stuff...

Excuse me, but when does all this "best of" Beth Orton crap cease? How many times can you remaster a cd, only to come out with a new single never released in Lower Schlobovia?
Wake me up when a new album comes out.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.
