    Depends on the size I think, they use An Post or DPD.

    Told myself I wasn't going to watch any reviews, but broke down and watched Easy Allies review. Very good review, covers everything I wanted to know while simultaneously revealing as little as possible.

    The two summons are unlockable now ... but no physical medium yet

    Clicked on “instructions” and it says tracking available but no tracking available :pac:

    Snuck in the first mission during lunch while 'WFH', my copy arrived today.

    So haven't seen past the demo content yet. My run against the boss was way worse than my demo runs. There is still an issue I think with activating Cloud's other stance where it's not clear when it kicks in. I tend to have to mash the triangle button until I see him get in stance.

    So jealous of anyone who has the physical bike statue ordered, looks so class, maybe the greatest game gaming statue I've seen.

    Thanks to the lads on here who gave the Shopto info last week, DID NOT think I would have this the Monday before release!

    2 disk like Red Dead 2 and reversible cover, nice.

    Did the An Post tracking ever work with the Royal Mail code?

    For anyone who ordered from Shopto your dlc code is in the digital items section of your account on their website.

    I want to get this but want to trade in RDR 2 and GOW 3 to pay for it.
    I don't suppose there are any other alternatives over post now that CEX are closed?

    Yupp, on Sunday, the An Post link started working. Royal Mail stayed at "Your itme is leaving the country (UK). For further records, check with our delivery partner". Button below it then brought me to An Post which had no update from Friday. Is your An Post link showing anything?

    Man, thank you!!! I never knew about that, figured it just didn't come with dlc.

    My Royal Mail tracking said Your item is leaving the UK on Thursday late at night, the An Post link still hasn't started working yet for me, it doesn't find the tracking number. I expected it to update Sunday night for delivery today but still nothing so far :(

    I read that only easy and normal is unlocked at the start. Clearing it unlocks Hard mode and chapter select with all your upgraded characters, basically NG+. Sounds great for the Hard mode run. I really want to platinum this and hope there isn't anything too grindy in it.

    Try entering the tracking number on the main An Post page, I don't think the page it links you to actually works anymore.

    Yeah, the Royal Mail tracking number should work directly on An Post page, if not, try with spaces like below. This is how mine was formated on An Post(with x's instead of the numbers).

    From reading online, Hard mode
    also does not allow you to use ANY items.

    For masochists only!

    Mission complete :)

    In fairness I'm delighted to see FF7 remake being universally acclaimed with great reviews pretty much across the board

    Been a great couple of months in gaming in general during this worrying time we live in right now

    Good for the mind

    Kat Bailey sayin they didn't play it safe is what I like to hear. Thankfully it doesn't sound like a brain dead Kingdom Hearts button masher and has a bit of depth to it. Squaresoft could easily play it safe but thankfully they rarely do.

    Got my physical in the mail this morning. Unfortunately I must be the only person in the world whose work from home is super busy so I'm not going to get to sit down to it till like 10pm. I've been behind for weeks cos everybody wants stuff yesterday.
