I'm pretty sure they've gone back to it now. I know what you're talking about, and actually spoke to a couple of Gameplay guys about it, and they said they were getting into trouble with publishers for it, but I'm sure I've had games early from them since that. I'll hopefully let you know on Thursday!

I must admit, I do have a special affinity for Gameplay. Always loved their envelopes and before that, cardboard boxes. Always made them different. Also liked how they weren't recorded so the postman didn't wake you up on the occasions that you weren't in desperate need of playing a game.

I guess I stuck with ShopTo when I ordered a Component Cable for my Playstation 3 and it was at 5.25pm and ShopTo ship at 5.30pm (later than the other companies so people can finish work and order stuff - nice) and whilst I was on the phone the guy rang the control room and told them to delay everything 10 minutes so that they could process an order for me.

The next day at 9am I had my Component Cable. I just thought that customer service was incredible.

I've got Fable 2 coming via Tesco. They've guaranteed it for Friday but not sure if they send out early or anything like that.

At least you're getting it for its day of release, that's the most important thing. You must message me every 10 minutes telling me if it's awesome or not

Heh, give me your number and I'll do it as well

As for Gameplay, I do have an affinity with them for sure. I hate the fact they don't offer any loyalty bonuses at all (especially after I added up all my previous orders this morning and realised I'd spent over £2000 with them!), but I love how reliable the are. I've never had a game later than the release date, even with Lego Batman which I ordered at about 3pm on the Wednesday before release. At least 90% of my pre-orders with them have come a day early. If that stops completely though, I may start ordering from Game instead as that way I can earn loyalty points for future discounts.

Gameplay do offer loyalty bonuses, I have been using Gameplay for years and I got an email from their loyalty scheme a couple of years ago with a code which I input at checkout which gives me 5% off. Only £2 off a £40 game but brings it into line with shopto.

Shopto have been nothing but trouble for me, twice they have declined my card on games I have had on preorder and I ended up missing them on release day. They can shove it from now on, back to gameplay!

I spoke to their customer service people online who said they don't do a loyalty scheme at all. Might have to speak to them again and see what they say.
