Default MW2: My Preorder has been shipped..
 
But the game doesn't release for another 7 days?
Surely parcel force won't hold it for a week!?

Mines 'pending' and will be shipped soon! I pre-order almost every game and frankly I'm used to games coming earlier.
I got Uncharted 2 on the Wednesday, and it was released on the Friday.

Parcel Force may take a few days to process and send the game.

I know places shipping with Royal Mail are posting early to help get it on time. I bought with Game.co.uk and they are giving all preorder customers free courier delivery.

I got World at War three days earlier last year from http://play.com and hopefully it'll be the same this year.

Will the game come on the day because of the postal strike or does anyone think it'll be a few days/weeks late?

I pre-ordered it for a reason and that was to get it on release date or earlier.

UK pre-orders are being shipped by HMV and GAME due to the postal strike and also people cancelling pre-orders to download the pirate ISO version.

Don't be an idiot, if you pirate it on the 360, you will get console banned. Next ban wave is on the 11th.

Yeah I've seen the discussions on torrent sites about people claiming to have the solution to that! Either way it's not worth having to get a new Xbox just cos you wanted to play it a couple of days early!

Mine just got dispatched via courier. They said allow 1-3 days for delivery, so I should have it Friday/Saturday. As it's courier I might even be lucky enough to have it tomorrow.

I hope so, as it's my mum's wedding on Friday so I won't have much time to play otherwise. Plus, the girlfriend's down for the weekend

Postal strike, although nobody actually HAS to use Royal Mail so that's a silly excuse as far as I know.

You could be an arse and report them for illegally distributing the game before the release date.
