Medieval 2 released early in UK

I got dragged along to PC world by one of my friends (being the resident computer nerd) where I think I managed to aggravate every single salesperson that came along by poking holes in all their little “this system is fantastic for its price and never become obsolete! ” arguments with a big stupid grin on my face. Most fun I’ve ever had… where im not fully clothed or without a blackcurrent cheese cake in my hand.

They actually said it would “never become obsolete”… pft, those people know nothing and will say anything to make a sale.

Thanks for your lovely comments about GAME employees folks, I actually happen to be one but nevermind. I heard from my Deputy Manager* that the game was released early due to tesco etc. selling it early, the week before we had to start selling every game due for release that friday becuase woolworths had gone early.

*Perhaps he was winding me up as im actually off work this week and he knows how much of a huge fan I am of the totalwar series...

Lol Wish if I was you I'd go in and beg the boss for a copy :P

Anyway the GAME employees is Leicester (well the one that I usually go in, theres two) are all helpful and friendly.

I find GAME employees friendly and helpful - I'd never buy from there cause there games are retail price, but they're helpful, nonetheless. They're also sticklers for the rules cause of the FIVE stores I've phoned today, none would budge.

And Wishazu..... Why, oh why didn't you mention Woolworths in your original post? I could be playing it by now

Went to York today, my car broke down and is costing me a bomb (and is still in York), but thats another story, I had a wander around Woolies didn't have it, Curries didn't, GAME wouldn't even tell me the price for the collectors edition in a cheeky attempt to have them offer me it (Hey, it worked with Footy Manager!), Gamestation had it, SHOWED ME IT, scanned price then told me what it'd cost, DAMN YOU GAMESTATION.

Whats annoying is FM, Pro Evo and TW are all out within about a month, so its alot of depserate times for me

Game won't sell me 16+ Pegi games. Corerect me if I am wrong but Pegi is simply guidelines? Gamestation sell me 16+ Pegi. Game must have lost a lot of money to Gamestation by being far too stupid to sell things they are allowed to sell.

The people who say they have 'got the game sent early' didn't really. They actually work in these stores and have took a copy early.

Advice: Go to your local game shop and bribe one of the younger more 'gamey' looking guys. Alternatively, get a job in a game store.

Game online often breaks the rules a bit and sends stuff off early. One of my mates managed to get Neverwinter Nights 2 early as a result with it being delivered last Wednesday instead of the release date of last Friday. I was tempted for a moment in the faint hope of getting Medieval early but I decided not to in the end.

Personally never had a problem with the employees at Game here in Basingstoke although I don't buy from there very often. PC World employees on the other hand.....they advised a friend of mine that his networking problems were down to memory. Told said friend never to go there again and sorted out his problems without him spending extra money (well he paid me with some alcohol but that's cheaper than 50 odd quid on memory).
