I got burned on the pre-order thing too with GTA3 when it came out for PC. I ordered it, paid a little extra for two day delivery. It took a week after that before it got delivered. It seems much easier to drive to Best Buy and pick it up.

I'll drive somewhere and pick it up rather than advocate that kind of service. I cancelled the order.

The nearest best buy is about 80 miles away. It's a madhouse. A MADHOUSE!

I haven't had very good luck with Amazon.com either. I ordered Origin - Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas, Arch Enemy - Anthems of Rebellion, and Emperor - Prometheus all on the same day. Origin came 2 weeks later, Arch Enemy came yesterday (a full month after I placed the order), and Emperor isn't supposed to get to me until the middle of the month.

Fucking bastards.

Do you ever order from the end records? Best metal mail-order business on the web.

ARCH ENEMY - Anthems Of Rebellion LTD JEWEL EDITION+BONUS CD
Special Price: $13.00

EMPEROR - Prometheus - The Discipline Of Fire & Demise
Price: $12.00

ORIGIN - Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas
Price: $12.00

See those prices??? That includes FREE (<---FREE!!!!) shipping, which never takes longer than four days from order to mailbox. I can't pimp these people enough.
