Kudos to Play.com

Waaay back when, I was on the lookout for the next decent FPS to play on the PC and came across S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. The graphics were stunning and the gameplay looked really interesting. I pre-ordered the game on Play on the basis that the game would be out later in the year. That was the 18th March, 2004 and the game still hasn't been released. Having briefly worked on a computer game dev team (for BREED), I know games get delayed (and any gamer will know of the Duke Nukem (taking) Forever debacle), but 3 years delayed? Anyway, to the point of this post: I left the pre-order running with Play.com as it was one of their pre-order specials they often used to do for PC games at
