Call of Duty

My friend just had a call from HMV to say that he wouldnt get his game on release day as they have ovetsold it, he pre-ordered it about 2 months ago aswell, So he canclled and pre-ordered with GAME, It was still listed his game as on pre-order in his account management but he just wouldnt get it on release day, they told him it would be with him by the 15th...This is like the 5th game ive seen HMV mess up on with this nonsense..

Ditto, although I have had a 'dispatched' email from them, so fingers crossed. 

One interesting point I do know, the Game.co.uk pre-orders have been sent to the relevant depots, and will be there until the dispatch day (people have been getting messages saying expected delivery 3rd, then on the 4th it changed to the 4th, it's an automatic system message, but they are there). 

The point is, a few people over on the AV forums have gone to their local depot and collected the game, today! just gone with ID and the tracking number, said the item was dispatched but they weren't in and hay presto, they got the game.

Game.co.uk are fantastic when it comes to pre-orders Ive always used them and always got the game the day before release and when Warhammer Online came out I got it 3 days before release date, I know a few people at my local GAME store already have the game and are using it, I guess 1 of the perks of working there because its a tuesday release the couriers will bring it for Monday im sure, But HMV are still using Royal Mail arent they? so they wont be bringing/sorting mail until the thursday?

No, HMV are using parcelforce too, well they are for me as I have opted for the business delivery option. But as I said, all the GAME pre-orders are in the depots now, so people are going in in person to collect.

Why "completely shipped"? might as well have said "it's like totally been shipped"

They haven't actually been shipped, they've just printed a label matching your pre-order to the game, the email is automatically generated. They've been printing them early due to the volumes they need to process. They wont be going out till Sat at the earliest (more than likely Monday), then we should get some tracking numbers, with them being delivered on Tuesday.
