I personally picked up a box of games from HES on Thursday afternoon and they were not ready for me to take delivery until 1.30-2.00 that afternoon. I then rushed home, printed off the list of people in NSW that had pre-ordered the game months ago, then took of to Australia Post, packaged each one and made sure they went out in Thursdays post. I was not going to leave it to Australia Post to do.
I ask you, how much more can we do? There is a postal strike for parcel post in NSW at present and had we decided to use a courier, chances are some of you would be still waiting.
Also, what you have to remember is we were told a while back the release date was Dec 12 but many places decided to sell them before the official release date as they had more clout with the distributors (HES).
All I can say is as soon as we got the games, they were in the post no more than two hours later. It's not in our best interests to hold back the game now is it?
