    Received Collector's edition of Batman yesterday. Portal 2 and a couple of other games arrived on the Wednesday for me. The earlier you order I think the better chance you have of getting them earlier, as I assume they process them in the order they receive em.

    Pretty much everyone on the Dark Souls thread who did the Express Delivery got it the Thursday prior to release.

    Yeah you should get it a day or two before release, i ordered LA Noire 4 days before release and choose express delivery, i got it the day before release, as long as you dont order it 2 days before (like i stupidly did with batman and will now have to wait till monday) you should be fine

    Gamestop say that they guarantee delivery on the day before or doy of release. At least that's what they told me for Dark Souls, and i got it the day before.

    I'd ordered Arkham City with just regular delivery, and got it yesterday, but they probably didn't send it via the post due to the size anyway.

    I've always chosen express. Made orders of €150 for free express delivery on individual items. Ordered Forza, Wireless Wheel, Dark Souls, Rage and got all but Rage the day before their respective release dates. It's guaranteed for launch date delivery so don't get upset you don't get everything earlier than street date.

    I ordered Gears 3 just 3 days before it was due to ship and I still got it a day before release. There was an A4 sheet in the packaging with the words "You must not play this until 20-09-11" printed on it. I sure took notice of those instructions... :)

    is there a way to track you parcel? I can't see an option to do it anywhere, I got an email from gs saying it was dispatched

    When you log into your account you can view your existing orders.
    When you select an order number There is a "Tracking Number: Click Here" link above the title order.
