Irrespective of the reviews though, this is a must buy for me, its now out in the UK so I'm hoping to try and grab a copy on the way home from work today!

Hope you have better luck than me.. Game, Gamestation, Tesco, ASDA and Blockbuster in my town all have it on the list to be delivered today none recieved any copies. I spent my money on CoD instead.

Bugger! I'm counting on my local Blockbusters and there is a massive Tesco nearby thats my backup plan. Failing that I'll have to go further afield tomorrow!

Always hard to please, I would like to see a Russian review of the game. Bet it would get 9/10 or better.

Its very odd, I went into Sale today and nowhere had it either. I ended up getting Assasins Creed 3. And we thought BoP was niche! When I was in Sainsburys picking up AC there were tons of copies of BoP on PS3 and 360 for £19.99. First time I have seen the game locally since I got it last year

The guy I spoke to in Game said that it was supposed to be there. They even had a demo running on the screen above the empty shelves where it was supposed to be.. He just said there must be a problem. I also saw BoP today for 19.99. Oh well, guess Activision are probably busy making another 3 million copies of CoD Black Ops instead...

Its pretty unfortunate for Gaijin. Not only a delay but the announcement of GT5 next week. Any game slotted between COD and GT5 would struggle but I dont think Apache has any chance now. I think its looking like a December buy for me now

If you have a CEX in your town you can get Gamestation to match their trade in plus beat it by £1. You will need an up to date print of the price CEX is offering from their site or you can use iPhone or mobile browser to show them in store. CEX offering £36 so GS will give u £37. I do this in Manchester GS all the time

That's great info mate never knew that I'm down near bournemouth and funny cex and gamestation are next door to each other sweet! Can get it up on my iPhone and get it sorted that will be a result as I only paid £37 at asda anyway ! Enjoyed the campaign but online is just boreing me now feel there's more to offer with gt5 all round! Cheers for the tip man !

I didn't make it to the shops on Friday evening, but popped down to my local Blockbusters early the next morning. Almost gave up the search when, tucked on a bottom shelf, I found a lone copy - hurrah!

Spent most of the day playing through the campaign, plus I had a little bit of time online, before I headed out for the rest of the weekend. Will be resuming play this evening!
