Did you have to call to get an offer to reserve it by lunch time mate? They wouldn't let me reserve a copy through the live chat

Amazon screwed up my order. I can't pick one up in any GAME branch as they are now all reserved for preorders.
To be completely honest I think its pretty poor that the game is so difficult to get hold of from the biggest online retailer and the biggest high street UK games retailer. If i was big ant/tru blu i would be asking serious questions about my supply and distribution process and i would be embarassed that it's over a week since the official launch and people in the UK are still having so much difficulty in getting hold of a copy.
Think i might just blow my 50 quid on someting else, i'm sick of the delays and availability issues with this game.

Alright chaps, just got home from lakeside GAME. a quick warning for you all
When i got to the till the attendant had to get my game from the storeroom, he turned to me and said 'You are lucky you got here early mate, we only have 2 copies of the game' The way he said it sounded like each GAME only has 2 copies in stock + pre-orders. So if you are going out to get the game then i suggest you head there sharpish!
Hope my warning helps, good luck

Where you based?

Even if you send free copies (and, as Ross alludes, those aren't "FREE" copies: they are at the publishers expense!) there's no guarantee that they will review it: we got very few reviews for AC09 and IC10 but I'm sure all the main outlets got their copies in plenty of time.
Hopefully with DBC charting well and, as word of mouth spreads, those that care will start to pick it up. If not now then when the Steam version hits: accredited press can download it for free then, at no cost to the publisher.
I spoke to lakeside game and they said they had 6. I was gonna go up there later, but looks like I'll have to wait till tomorrow to get mine from Amazon.

Won't give the exact store name incase it tips anyway off on here to run out of work and buy the last copy but South Dorset
.Fair enough then, I was told 2 but there must have been more that the bloke did not find, hope your amazon order comes through tomorrow.

No, they wouldn't reserve it for me on live chat or via phone - so I took my chances and headed into town. Ironically, I work slap bang next door to Oval but had to trek up to West End to track down a copy.

Only 3 copies at the GAME in Merry Hill and that's a fairly large store. Fortunate that I picked it up when I did!
