Pre-order Shift - now Saturday's, 10 am.

[-Tom-]

Well, now I'm torn. Pre-order Assassins? Or stand around in a queue outside ExCeL?

Surely can pre-order via 3G on a phone while in that queue?

[Houghten]

I'm not buying a smartphone just so I can pre-order Assassins.

[Kirsten]

take a normal phone and call them from the queue.

Good to know. So 1pm Eastern, 5pm London. Probably allows most stores to be open and accepting orders.

Much better than 3am.

The crappy thing is my Saturday guy knows nothing about the stuff, and he's not going to be on the website placing orders for our customers. I mean, I don't want him to be placing orders...

[Mr Mystery]

Have you tried kicking him?

[Houghten]

take a normal phone and call them from the queue.

...is that still a thing you can do?

[Kirsten]

yeah, it certainly is over here anyway, you can phone GW and pre-order. don't see why that wouldn't be the case anywhere else

Its 10 am GMT too. 10 am in whatever shop you're buying from.

From past experience I have little faith that they allocate per time zone. If US orders begin 10am EST, I expect limited runs to sell out via web long before 10am PST.

Just to be a pedant, its 10 am BST not GMT...

It's 10 AM Pacific for the entire US. I'm in Central, so my time is noon.
