Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

MarkY91

Downloading the demo now. I've only played the 3rd as it was on ps+ for free. For some reason I've always avoided ever playing uncharted until then. How wrong was I!! I loved the game and can't wait to play the first two that I hasn't got the pleasure to play yet aswell as platinum them all hopefully.

So you often receive games in our pm motel the night before release day? Pretty handy if so. I'll give them a look. Cheers.

Yep. They're brilliant. Last order was PES2016 and it arrived in my PM in Blackrock on the night before release date.

Often find that they're the cheapest online too.

Check out their trustpilot rating too, they're 9.7 out of 10.

Is the relase date the 7th or 9th?

9th (from Playstation Ireland website)

Haha tell me about it, having to pay €70 in a store is now behind me.

I ordered MGS on a Thursday morning before from them, it shipped in the afternoon and I had it on the Monday in my Irish address (and it wasn't out til the Tuesday). Ordered PES to my UK PM as I mentioned and had it night before so they've a good record with me. They ship to Ireland for €2 and Parcel Motel works out at €4, free UK P&P plus the PM charge. Both came ahead of time but think I trust the UK PM system better as i think they just sent out MGS early (people in UK got them on the Friday before Tuesday release)

Also I picked up PES for €40 on pre-order. Have AC and Fallout ordered for €50 and €42. That's already saved me about €50+ on retail stores just on those three games.

So I should definetely use the PM UK route. Definetely beats going to your local xtravision for €75 or town for €65 plus bus fare haha

I feel like an idiot here. I'm on the checkout page for a purchase on Game Collection. Do I enter the UK or Irish address I was given by parcel motel?

Why should I use Parcel motel instead of the Royal Mail delivery? they are both similar charges right?
Surely getting it delivered to a parcel motel building and then delivered to my local parcel motel thingy takes longer no?

Haha, first time I was using it was the same. Use the UK parcel motel address which then re-routes it to your pick-up point wherever that is

As your UK PM address is in the UK and as such all the postage goes through Royal Mail, it'll get there quicker (than to your Irish home address) and then PM will deliver it usually that evening when they receive it in Northern Ireland. Whereas if you go with your Irish home address, it goes through two postal services and can take longer. And using the Irish PM address has no benefit whatsoever.

Another benefit of using the UK PM is that if it is slightly delayed, it'll be delivered to your PM pick-up point on a Friday evening or a Saturday whereas if it misses release day through An Post to your house, you've to wait til the Monday.

Hope that makes sense

Shy_Dave!

Thanks for that quick reply, helps a lot.
One quick question do I put Belfast as the town/city? As that seems to be the postcode location.

Exclamation Marc

No problem at all.

My Game Collection shipping address is (as entered on their website)

PMXXXXX (whatever your code is)
1A McKinney Road
Newtownabbey

Town/City
Antrim

County/Province

Postcode

Anything else, feel free to ask

Shy_Dave!

That's perfect, thanks man, was unsure of whether to put Antrim as the county/province. Cheers, ordered now

seeing as the demo is of the 2nd game, would the 1st one play aswell as the 2nd one in the demo? if so then im impressed

How early do they post pre orders from your experience? Not getting Uncharted unfortunately cant afford it at the moment but I'm planning on getting Fallout next month.

Usually about two days before release day. By Royal Mail it hits my parcel motel on the night before release day.

Tempted to cancel my order from gamescollection and buy from simplygames. They've already shipped out and have been received by buyers!

Already? Wow. That's a pretty bold street date break.

Just remember if you do to PM it and not go with regular post with An Post still on strike!

From the reviews I have read, they have tightened up the controls on the 1st Uncharted, so fingers crossed that it plays as good as the other 2.

Shoukd we order from simplygames? Are we guaranteed to get it early?

Have never played an Unchartered game as I had a 360 and not a PS3 so really looking forward to this.

Haha its no problem.

With PM i have credit on the account (top it up by €10 every now and again) and its only debited from when they receive the parcel into their NI office.
