NCSX UPDATE:

DFK BL will not be sent out today since they didn't receive UPS deliveries due to "their building falsely being under the assumption by UPS that it was closed for a Chinese holiday?!" Tomorrow, 2/4/11, they hope to be receiving dfk BL and shipping out same day. Unfortunately, many will have to wait until Monday or thereafter to play the game....

DFKBL arrived for me too. :) Ketsui arrange seems fun, but I haven't played much since regular BL is so addictive, haha.

Deathsmiles PAL release (DATED: Feb 18th)

Post by DrTrouserPlank »

Bit annoyed that ShopTo haven't sent these out today.

The post in my area has been lousy for the last six months so there's almost no chance of this arriving on Friday even if they get it off early tomorrow morning.

I cancelled my ShopTo preorder and reordered on Gameplay as they have it at £15.99. It'll arrive around the same time anyway, only preordered at ShopTo as I'd thought they would post early.

huh.... they haven't for me and I can't have exactly been at the back of what must be a pretty short queue.....

Odd/annoying.

When did you preorder yours?

Ok, you did preorder before me then so hopefully they'll get round to mine eventually.

I'm still annoyed/surprised they didn't send these out this afternoon as usual. With the "release date or compensate" scheme they have going I'm surprised they are willing to cut it as fine as they are... especially where Royal Mail is involved.

I'm fully expecting to receive a collection card on Fri as my postman never carries the parcels with him, the lying bastard... and I'll collect on Saturday.

ShopTo is run by robots, packing 1 game every 2 seconds according to their video.

Zavvi just shipped my copy of Deathsmiles(PAL).

Awesome, i just hope recent packages from the UK aren't anything to go by in terms of delivery speed...
It always took 4 business days till about mid last year, UK to Australia, now, regularly it takes 2 weeks+ =/

Hopefully i get it soon enough.

Last time I use Play for a pre-order, they only despatched my Deathsmiles today and I had hoped to have it for the weekend :(

Just got home and my copy from Amazon has arrived, so hopefully you should be ok. I'd love to have a crack on it right now but I need to go pick the kids up from school in a mo.

I assume so. I see my name as the thread creator but I certainly didn't create this thread. I posted the initial comment in the DS PAL thread on Wednesday.

I strolled into my apartment building to be greeted by the postman with a ShopTo package and a polite 'There you are sir.'
I nearly shat.
