[Update] Out NOW?! Yep SimplyGames has it instock. (PS3 and Xbox 360 now instock!)

The Queen · January 29, 2011

Hello guys and gals, just thought I would give you a heads up for people who (preferably) live in the UK and are waiting to get their PS3 version and maybe can't wait for it.

SimplyGames is a well known online retailer for games so it can be trusted but recently they have been advertising they have the game instock and will dispatch it immediately. Considering the game isn't out for another 2 weeks, yes that means you can get this and be playing it just less than 2 weeks in advance of it being released, this is quite surprising! It's only available now on Playstation 3, all the other platforms are due to be released much nearer the release date.

Link : Test Drive Unlimited 2 PS3

Also, there are no preorder incentives from this retailer so iif you don't mind not having the preorder cars or can wait for them to come out as DLC in 60 days or so this is a great opportunity!

Won't they get sued for this though? :cheeky:

Is this a real, final build TDU2 game? :thumbsup: Man this is awesome!!! But surely they will get some kind of punishment for this, its not 1 day or 2, its 2 freaking weeks!!!

I think they get fined £10,000 per copy. I wonder if they'll actually send copies out and if Atari will go after them. :lol:

Jazzi · January 29, 2011

If I had £35 to play with I'd actually see if this was legit. Haha

Dan G · January 29, 2011

I wonder if...Atari will go after them. :lol:

What, like this? :cheeky:

Camel · January 29, 2011

Haha.

Maybe they're doing this on a weekend to get some orders, take peoples money and then change the status back to pre-order? :hmmm:

That would be evil! It does say "In Stock Now | Dispatched Same Day" so I guess they might have gotten a shipment early and want to send them out now :confused:

Camel · January 29, 2011

Normal postal services usually don't run on weekends here.

killalldude · January 29, 2011

^Oh yeah I forgot about that. Here it's just Sundays.

We should all buy copies then so that they can afford to make TDU3 awesome :lol:

Hmm, If I actually played PS3 I'd go for this. Lucky it's not XBox, you'd just get perma banned or some other knee jerk over reaction.

I like this idea a lot :D

And btw, what happened to the thread that was listing all the previews over the web ?

I had bookmarked it but now the link is dead and I cannot find the thread using the search funtion :confused:

Elder_of_Lyons · January 30, 2011

Man, this is all so strange. I wanted to buy the PS3 version right away, but I am affraid that this may be a scam or something!:sulk:

calster17 · January 30, 2011

Real tempting, but I'm wanting my R500 and saving £6 on the casino!

Also, if they did send it out and that....would the online work? The survers may not be up and running yet would they?

Also I doubt it, but if it did work online, possabilatys of getting a PSN ban or ban from the game as you join in a 'last week' testing session?

I dunno, Think i'll wait the next week and a bit!

GTAMADDOG · January 30, 2011

£35!?

I'll wait. It'd be a waste anyway, I wouldn't touch the Playstation 3 copy once the PC copy arrived from Play.com.

Jazzi · January 30, 2011

First class is usually 1/2 working days. So he should get it by Tuesday/Wednesday

Iced_Bullet · January 30, 2011

It's now saying: "FREE next-day delivery on all orders." Wow!

chauhan7 · January 30, 2011

It's now saying: "FREE next-day delivery on all orders." Wow!

nah next day is still 3.99, just checked... royal mail recorded is 1 pound and first class is free.

i also think this is a means of getting additional sales. once they realize everyone has this 'casino' and all these additional cars, they will purchase this additional content bringing the total cost to well.. 34.85 + £6 (casino) plus ~£1.50 per car.... will work out alot more than getting it all together.

...but i want it now :D
