The Tingler Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I've heard DVDBoxOffice are good as long as you're pre-ordering. If you order something they've already had in stock for a bit, it'll take about a month to arrive. This is my only experience with them (and Metroid Prime), so I can't comment on the pre-ordering.

Nappi Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 That doesn't really matter. I think it's still faster than waiting for the european release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerialFreak Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 My sister just bought this unbelievably awesome computer. A computer that can play Far Cry with its settings to the very highest without lagging. Atleast playing the waiting game will allow me to eventually play Psychonauts on such an awesome set up.

pupsti Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 hah, im actually selling my nvidia geforce fx5200 (very **** graphics card) and buying my buddy's fx5600 ultra just to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I have discovered three things in the demo: a) 640x480 doesn't look that bad with anti aliasing (FSAA) on. b) The game runs faster in 640x480. c) The cutscenes blend with the ingame graphics more on 640x480. I will be playing on 640x480. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerialFreak Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 So what do you think the chances are that the game will ship on Monday? Considering it was suppose to ship with the X-Box version I think the chances are pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I should think (and hope!) that the chances are high. I'd assume that there's been minor manufacturing or delivery delays which have caused the slightly late PC release, and from what I hear some physical GameStop stores already have the PC version available. Anybody have a rough idea of how long it takes GameStop to deliver to the UK, though? This is my first experience with them, and I really do have no idea at all how long it takes them.

libertine Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Blah! Now it says it will ship the 26th! Screw you EB Games! Now I got my xbox chipped for expensive money and have ordered that version from Ebay instead. I am extremely disappointed by everything. I wish I was more patient.

Jake Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I think they may be finally processing and shipping PC orders. I say that because I just got a note from ebgames.com informing me that they tried to charge my debit card and failed because I'm 100% broke Anyway, they usually don't charge the card unless they're about to ship an order. I cancelled my ebgames PC preorder so I don't know what that's all about, but apparently they 1) thought I still had an order for PC, 2) thought it would be a good idea to charge me for it which means they probably wanted to send it to me, 3) realized I have no money in that account and will be giving my copy to someone else . Hopefully one of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerialFreak Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Mine hasn't shipped yet and I got that e-mail saying that it's being released on the 26th. EBgames says order will usually ship within 24 hours, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tingler Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 GameStop are getting funny now. "Psychonauts, released on 19th April. PC AND Xbox." "Whoops, no, PC version doesn't ship until 25th. Sorry." "We said the 25th? Sorry, we meant 26th. Yes, I know we've got it in-store, just not our online store." "Okay, okay, we REALLY meant 27th. Whaddya mean EB have already shipped their copies? We bought the bastards! They can't do that! Mummy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Grrr. Gamestop are all "27th" now? This is really beginning to upset me. They shall be receiving the iron boot of the Thrik if this activity continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerialFreak Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 EBgames are back on pre-order status as well. Mine's shipped, though. Left Los Angeles last night for Sydney, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSTM Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on April 25, 2005 to expect your package for mailing. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later." Has it shipped? You tell me. At least we're all in the same boat...except those people who bought xbox versions*grumble*grumble*grumble* It's interesting that there's an official pc retail patch but not pc retail game.

Wsmonkeyboy Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Gamestop has just changed their release date to 4/28. Yesterday it was 4/27. I wouldn't be suprised if they changed it tomorrow to 4/29. Chances are, they probably will. Im never going to receive the game. This is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerothorn Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 What's worse, I just saw that on EB games you get a $10 mail-in voucher...so not only are us using Gamestop not getting our game, we're paying $10 more to not get our game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaveBear Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 From a Majesco forum admin (posted today): The wait is almost over... I've been informed (after doing some intense snooping and badgering) that it was shipped Friday, and should start appearing in stores today. However, you might not find it available until Friday, but that all depends on your proximity to the distribution center. Rest assured it is on its way, and will be available very soon. Let's hope this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
