Anyone know how long it will take to get the game from amazon. IM PRAYING its on the 20th but that seems unlikely. How long will i have to wait?!

it may depend on where you are.


I've ordered a router...but I chose 1 day shipping on that thing...

I've also ordered a TV, but that took a good week and a half because they use a special service for bigger items.

You SHOULD receive them on the day of release. They do guarantee it, but so did Red Octane for GH3, and my friend isn't getting his until the 31st.

Well, first of all, it really depends on what shipping method you pick. I know that in the past I've received items from ground shipping in about 2-4 days. Of course, your mileage may vary, if you know what I mean. You also have to remember...this will be shipped during a holiday which may slow down shipping. There's a lot of variables that could make it longer than normal to receive it. Of course, they're guaranteeing release day you'll get it so, hopefully, that's when you'll get it.

amazon does not guarantee it at all. Gamestop.com does. Amazon will say guaranteed one day shipping but then give a delivery estimate of between 1-5 days

Main reason i switched to gamestop. they guarantee a delivery of that day for preorders or get your shipping back. Cost a bit mroe than amazons one day shipping but no biggie.

they should do a midnite release of Rock Band.

Not many people will be buying it...but don't tell them that!!

I have it on order from amazon (and gamestop) and I paid for overnight shipping and it said that I should get it on the 21st. In case anyone is curious, Amazon with overnight shipping and supposedly getting on the 21st is $185, whereas Gamestop with overnight getting it on the 20th is $201.

i just checked amazon and in my cart it says this...

Items not yet shipped:
Delivery estimate: December 4, 2007 - December 10, 2007

* 1 of: Rock Band Special Edition
Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC

THAT BETTER BE WRONG. Anyone know what the deal is?

maybe he picked the free shipping?

i didnt realize all you guys were paying so much for shipping. you may want to look into newegg. i posted yesterday that they are selling the bundles for $10 less. but if you live in one of the few states they operate out of you have to pay tax. i dont know how much extra it is for overnight delivery. their standard shipping is pretty quick.

I think Amazon's overnight is pretty reasonable. $15 for a pretty big package. Gamestop's is around $20 I think plus theres tax.
