Topic: Alien colonial marines dispatched message from Tesco

I pre ordered Alien from Tesco direct, I got the limited edition version and I have just been told it had been dispatched. I questioned them but they assure me its on its way and will be with me tomorrow. I find this strange as the release date is suppose to be Feb 8th, I have just been charged for it so something must be on its way. Anyone else ordered from Tesco and got the same message from them? Guess I will find out tomorrow

not likely their well known for mistaken release dates they did it with playstation all stars battle royale, sleeping dogs and paper mario sticker star(to list the ones i know of) they'll correct it soon.

See what happens tomorrow

ESPN Sports Connection will arrive tomorrow

Keep us updated please!

Unlikely but hey weirder things have happened I guess.

Did u get it today then?

No not as yet, I very much doubt that it its really on its way, I think its just an error on their part. I will update if a miracle happens though lol.

Ok keep us updated

according to gamestop preorder is 100$ and release is not until december.

Yeah and Amazon doesn't even have a listing for it on Wii U.

any luck?

No mate, it was a mix up. Just trying to get my money back off em now though which is proving difficult as they say they cant even find the dam order now even with the order number lol.

U could wait and let them credit u for the game when it DOES come out no?

Could happen, Harvest Moon a new beginning got shipped 3 weeks in advance to people who bought directly from Natsume.

A little concerned about the press release saying Aliens: Colonial Marines has gone gold as it doesnt mention the Wii U version at all

Exciting news — Aliens: Colonial Marines has gone gold on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360!

When we first announced the release date for Aliens: Colonial Marines back in May 2012, Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford noted that the development had progressed to the point where we could see the end and be very confident in both our vision for the game as well as our launch date.

Today, we’re proud to announce that we hit every one of those targets, with the game's gold status indicating that all parties have examined the release candidate and signed off on the code as final and suitable for manufacturing, after which the game will be shipped to retail and propped to digital networks in time for launch on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 come February 12, 2013!

Now's the time to make sure you've got your pre-order locked in as participating retailers are offering in-game bonus content — check with your local retailers and visit this page for more details.

Stay frosty, the next chapter in the Aliens story is almost here. Will you be able to fight the fear?

Amazon doesn't have a listing for NBA 2K13 and that's out. Most Amazon game listings seem to be by third parties so I wouldn't rely on it as any kind of guide.

Well Gearbox replied to my sad comment about no Wii U release date announced with the following

A release date for the announced Wii U version will be revealed at a later time.

I don't want to blow into that horn again, ... but.. the Wii U really seems to have a troublesome start with 3rd parties, eShop content and Virtual Console.
