Why on earth are you using Amazon when i have posted on here many times that the best online game retailer which guarantees to get your games on day of release or compensates your account.

Not only that most games you order if not all of them will arrive a day or two early,if i have used shopto.net 50 times then on 48 of those occasions my games have arrived early.

Seems there are plenty of people knocking the single player aspect of this game and it is something most reviewers have commented on.

I am not overly surprised. Don't get me wrong it looks nice, and some of the scripted bits look really nice, but, I can't seem to get immersed into it like I can with MP. I should also add that I am not a massive way through the SP campaign as well - but it is hard for convince myself to throw time at that when I know that I could be having a real blast online.

I'm in shock.

I've just received a text message from Shopto.net saying my BF3 order has been dispatched. The shocking bit being, it has a photo of the parcel with my name and address on it attached to the text.

Like I said, shocked but in a good way!

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

But bf3 is not just kill ratio and thats the beauty...being the person who dies a lot, but stops the enemy tanks from causing havoc can mean a win for the team

No. That's right and that's kind of the way I play, very self sacrificially. It doesn't get your name on the leaderboards and no one really credits you unless you're working in a close knit squad.

Most of the time I'm on the losing team - I know there are plenty of people who jump sides if they feel their team is taking a hammering but I just can't do that. I stay on the side I end up on usually (unless a friend is on the opposing side) and no matter how many times we're stuffed I will doggedly carry on.

I am very excited by the prospect of dying loads more in BF3. Let the under-rewarded unnoticed self sacrifice begin!

Amazon are the cheapest and reliable. They might not be the quickest but it's free.

I did sign up to ShopTo.net but forgot my login details and I couldn't rescue the a/c. The site won't allow you to create new a/cs that are registered to the same premises. ShopTo even still have £2.00 odd of my money after failing to recredit my a/c when signing up. I know, I need to give them a call, I just haven't gotten round to it.

Reliable is not a word i would associate with Amazon Spook to be honest,and there must be a way of retrieving your account details and login and password or something.

Normally its just use your email that you signed up with and hey presto !

Thats there updated shipping method but the name on the bag is not you its me.........If you look carefully its been delivered to my address and time2die can clearly be seen now i have hacked into your shopto account.

Only Kidding of course

Seems to me Spook you need a few heads up on the art of FPS ,for a small fee payed directly into my paypal account i will help you in your quest to be good at anything FPS

Actually, now I come to reflect upon it, the problem is ShopTo used to spam me and there was no way of opting out of their weekly/daily/hourly/whatever newsletters. I took umbrage to this and tried the old log in to your ShopTo a/c and change your email address to some made up rubbish and voila: be rid of annoying spam you can't opt out of.

Anyway, that would have worked of course except for the time when I tried to create a new ShopTo a/c and having added bank card details and having the a/c verified (ie - ShopTo deduct £2 that they are MEANT to then refund), they then tell me my address is already registered so you HAVE to use that instead, no choice. Of course, I don't know the email address - I just typed some random [censored] so no way to log in. I didn't want to call these people right away and just haven't gotten around to it. They still owe me a couple of quid and I can't be doing with them as they are often not the cheapest and I don't really care if I have to wait a little while for a game and don't get it on release.

So, long story short: my efforts to block ShopTo's spam kind of backfired. Amazon haven't failed me. I could endlessly wax lyrical about them but don't. I'll be happy just to receive the game but, being BF3, having it by the time the week is out would be nice. I can wait though, there are other things I can be doing.

EDIT: I've wired a million bucks to your paypal a/c, t2d. I sure hope that's you by the way, I wouldn't want the money to go to just anybody. Hope you can turn me into as good a player as yourself. Let the education begin.
