    My bet would be that Smyths and the likes have plenty of stock, just they have stopped taking pre-orders to give them time to get ready.

    I would say that you could walk into a store on Friday and pick up a copy handy enough.

    If that fails you can always download it later on Friday.

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    I had checked Argos and it's not showing, I'm guessing it will show up tomorrow morning? Or can it be done in store but not online?

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Might be a slow download tomorrow though for such a big file. I've not downloaded a game on release day, so assumed it would be slower. No problems leaving it going for a while, though.

    Long shot I know, but is does anyone know of somewhere around Dublin where I can pre order this for tomorrow? My Amazon order got cancelled due to my getting a new card (I had updated it, but they declined payment so updating it now means I wouldn't have the game until next week). Smyths website says they're out of stock and Gamestop isn't offering collect in store.

    I would rather have a physical copy to save space, but it's not the end of the world if I have to DL it.

    Argos first thing tomorrow?

    chance your arm in a Supervalu store that sells it on Friday morning.

    So it’s safe to install and play the physical version on Xbox? It won’t stop me from playing if I leave the internet on and get the patch?

    I presume people here will be reading these reviews to keep you going? Or will you be able to hold out and go in without reading any actual full reviews?

    I'm worried IGN will take points off because there aren't enough pansexuals represented.

    If anyone is going to do that it will be Eurogamer, not "woke" enough for them or will have serious under-representation of transexual black midgets that "might" have been in the locality around that time :rolleyes:

    Set your Xbox to offline before you put the disk in if you don't want the patch. Otherwise I might try downloading in the background.

    Can't recall the last time if ever I've seen billboard advertising for a game in our town. Saw 2 for RDR2 earlier when I was out with the dog.

    They probably don't need to advertise at all at this stage.

    I really liked game informer until they went to town on mass effect Andromeda. Shyte game, but not for the reasons they were spouting.

    Just waiting for a review site that gives a 5/6 for clicks.
