I cannot wait to get Battlefield 3 and MW3 and play them as they are meant to be played! Have also missed playing strategy games and plan on getting Shogun 2 as well.

This next few weeks are going to drag! I am guessing it will take a bit longer cos I am from Northern Ireland?

Ahh this is good to know - I am also from Belfast.

I work 60 hour weeks so no doubt I will miss the courier.... where is their depot if I want to drive and pick it up or can I not do that?

Cheers for this - sorry hadn't realised you had replied! Yes I AM shattered - I am a retail manager and work all kinds of crazy hours lol.

Well today is the day..... I am sat here in work knowing that I could get my PC today, depends on a few factors...

- I have my brother waiting at home till 10am cos I work until 3..
- I am hoping it arrives before 10 or after 3 or I will miss it!
- I am going to call Yodel at 8am and see if they can just keep it at the depot for me to collect at around 4pm (this is the ideal solution!!)

Wish me luck!!

Thanks!

Yodel wouldn't hold it at the depot.... and my brother is off to work. I will have to pray it arrives after 4 or I won't get to use my new PC until tomorrow.

The wait is doing my head in!
