[Req] Pc Games - Preorder/Online/Collectors Editions?

    Alright, with all the good PC Games coming out in the next few weeks, I am looking for a good place to buy them. Either brick n mortar or online is fine although obviously I would like to pay as little as I can and get the editions I would like.

    Up until now I would usually use Amazon.co.uk but I am looking to get the collectors editions (yes im sad) of Unreal Tournament 3, CoD 4, Crysis, Bioshock and possibly Gears of War if they make one. The problem is Amazon.co.uk doesnt seem to have these listed on their site or available to pre-order and Amazon.com will not ship to Ireland which is a pity with the $ price. I also wish to get the Orange Box.

    Anyway any advice or suggestions are very welcome and appriciated. Thanks. :)

    Play.com would be the main site that I'd recommend
    Shopto.net and Sendit.com can be fairly handy as well.

    Try mx2.co.uk.
    Free postage to Ireland.
    I think there was a code coupon with a discount listed on boards all ready for this site.
    Hope this helps :)

    the Orange box on the Pc, also known as the Black Box was scrapped.

    you just get it on steam now

    Can't say that I've heard of a CE of the Orange box though...

    Thanks for the input all, appreciated as usuall.

    Funnily enough Amazon.co.uk has added Unreal T 3 CE and Cod 4 CE to their site but will not ship to Ireland.. typical.

    Ive had a quick look at the sites mentioned (bar mx2.co.uk - no such site?) and they seem decent, any warnings about them before I use one though?

    Yea as far as im aware theres no CE of the Orange Box and im not to bothered about one anyway and I dont own HL 2/Ep 1 either so the Orange Box is a good deal for me. I would rather have a physical copy than use steam also.

    have a look at www.softuk.com and if you enter broadband as the code you get free delivery and 15% off your first order
    i use www.find-games.co.uk for finding the cheapest games
