I really would expect that retailers (or maybe MS themselves) are going to release this in drips.

If they can 'sell out' on opening night, it creates an atmosphere of massive demand, which will then drive sales of future copies they release before August 9th.

It wouldn't be an almost month long promo with about 5000 copies of both combined to buy.

What do you mean play took your order? on the website or a 2nd confirmation email?

This email is only an acknowledgement of receipt of your order which has been passed to our dispatch department to be processed.

Only 1 mail so far

Looks like they charge now. Bit cheeky but nevermind.

Oh well. I can live with. Would be good if it didn't track onto my statement until tomorrow though (next billing cycle).

So glad I stuck with my guns.. That would screw me this month,

That said, that guy used Google Checkout, not a real payment method. Someone else says they think it's going to wait but need to wait to see their account in the morning to verify. I stuck it on my mums credit card as I do with all online purchases just for the added security it brings over debit.

The status on my order hasn't gone to 'Invoiced' though, like it usually would when payment is taken, so I suspect it won't take it yet.
