I think this goes to show the intelligence amonst the gaming community. Turn up at a high street shop at 8am to get a game you can get delivered by post?

Why on earth would any sane person buy a game at HMV etc in the first place? Everyone with access to a net connection knows that various online retailers are at least 10 quid cheaper than the high street chains.

So that's where the british gamers are, they're at home having breakfast awaiting their preordered game arriving through the letterbox!
