Pre-Ordering through Ubisoft?

Ark · 02-13-07, 09:41 AM

Did anybody here pre-order directly through Ubi?

I saw the "Pre-Order" post above, but there doesn't seem to be a way for me to actually pre-order. I noticed I am able to pre-order through the Ubi site though.

I must admit though I am sort of leary about pre-ordering anything from Ubisoft. Last time I did, all the stores in my area got my item a few days before my pre-order even shipped. I ended up canceling my pre-orde and just going down to the store and picking up my product. However, there are other times where people seem to get their items a few days before the stores do.

Any help here guys/gals would be appreciated!

I will wait until our link is good. That way Neal gets a kickback, which is good for the site.

Don't worry. It's just a matter of time. Eventually everyone will be able to pre-order thru the Subsim link.

Just a heads up. I saw Newegg had it listed as a pre-order on their site.

I pre-ordered a game from them a couple weeks ago, and as usual, they shipped it the day it arrived - 3 days shipping. I think it's listed as $46.99 and about $5 shipping.

Man that's fast ... how far do you live from the store?

I ordered a new Antec 900 case on a Wed, but they didn't ship it till thursday and I got it on friday ...
like wow that was fast enough for me.

But this is not subsim shipping you anything ...
it's Amazon and they are quick too. Order it here and feed the crew ...

I live in the hills of southern Missouri and they shipped it from California. They always arrive from Newegg in exactly 3 days from ship date. Ship date is generally the day after I order, or the same afternoon if I put the order in early that morning.

I wasn't sure if Subsim got a referral bonus of some kind from Amazon. I've heard a few bad stories of preordering from Amazon, but I imagine they're not all that bad.
