davek1979 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Guys, don't even start with HAWX, just mentioning it makes me puke. :mad: thereminqblank: thanks man, good call.

Tartan_Piper Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Will play.com and Gameplay be selling BS? Dont see it on the gameplay website, which is a shame cause you always get the game delivered on the Thursday, a day before release. :( Cheers Tartan.

ED Team JimMack Posted March 21, 2009 ED Team Share Posted March 21, 2009 Best of luck Jim! Keep us posted please. :-) Visited Game Stores at Brent Cross and Staples Corner. Same responses. ME: I want to pre-order DCS Black Shark. Salesman: No problem, let us check the listing for April 3rd. Oh, it is not listed. ME: Well here is the full page advert in your trade journal MCV and you may keep the advert for reference. I suggest you call Head Office on Monday and get it listed or I am going to buy from PC World! Salesman: Call us on Tuesday for an update. (I bet that will be a waste of time). I resisted the temptation to buy HAWX on PC DVD to evaluate in a professional capacity - I will wait until it goes into budget! Visited PC World at Staples Corner. ME: Will you be stocking DCS: Black Shark? (Showing him the advert). Salesman: I am sure we will be (not the brightest bird in the flock!) I hate the shopping experience - but at least I bought a pair of trainers at Brent Cross which I had been meaning to do for the last 6 months, after complaints from "She who must be obeyed" about foot odour! 1 Having problems?

Waste of money. I hate the shopping experience - but at least I bought a pair of trainers at Brent Cross which I had been meaning to do for the last 6 months, after complaints from "She who must be obeyed" about foot odour! Well I do admire your "She who must be obeyed" for sticking with your foot odour for 6 months! :) My "She who must be obeyed" wouldn't wait but drag me into the store and force me to buy it at the very first sign of any possible odour. :) ANYWAY: I went into GAME in Tunbridge Wells yesterday and obviously, no dice, but I got the number for their Customer Service. Have to put more effort into this I guess. :-) Jim, do you have any info WHERE to buy BS on 3rd April ? I can't remember anyone saying anything specific about this. Surely if the DATE is known, the SELLER must be known as well. On Amazon, this beauty is still listed for the 15th...:huh: ...well someone has to move the mud!!!

davek1979 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've just endured about 6 minutes of nice 60's music while the girl at GAME helpdesk was trying to find out why is the DCS:BS page incomplete. She said the web team are tremendously sorry and everything should be up-and-running in a matter of hours. If it's not done by 1300, I'll call'em back again. In the meantime, if you guys have free minutes or so, why not do the same to speed things up ? :-) ...well someone has to move the mud!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
