This will be the first time in that I won't have a Mass Effect game on release day. Shame on me.
EDIT: Scrap that. Just ordered it.

Don't worry, I'm sure EA has a pre-Mass Effect 3 character generation DLC up their sleeves à la the Mass effect 2 Genesis comic book thingy.

If SpeedServices fucks this order up or it gets delayed, I'm going to shit my pants. That said, they've only ever screwed up once before. Ordered an item from TakeAlot and it never arrived because they 'couldn't make out the address'. Didn't bother calling TakeAlot or me to find out the address either.
I've got everything ready for tomorrow. Beer in the fridge. Fully stocked on snacks. Alarm set for 08:00 so that I can be at the post office before 9. Needle and thread ready on my desk so I can stitch my badge to my bag while the game installs. Now I'm just waiting for the game. Assignments for university are all done.
I'm ready to save the universe.

Damn... my tracking number can not be found when I enter it on Speed services website (which is offline now). That either means the bastards posted the game after cut-off time or that speed services haven't loaded the tracking number on their system. The first seems more likely because usually the tracking number can be queried on the same day that the order was posted. 
Luckily I've got a backup. One of my friends also ordered ME3 N7 via BT Games... and he still needs to play ME1 and 2... so I can always trade with him for now. If BT Games also screw up, then I'm just really unlucky.

The SpeedServices site is shit. It never shows my parcels. Just go check at your post office a bit later, or click on the tracking number directly on your order page if at TakeAlot. Last time clicking the tracking number on that page led me to another site that actually did track parcels.

Keep in mind Takealot uses various delivery systems, mine was trackable via CourierIT, since they delivered my game. My brother who preordered before I did is having his dropped off at my office as well and his parcel went to Mr Delivery. So check who is doing the delivery. If its a speedservices parcel you can use this site: http://trackingnumber.co.za/#
Also give your post office a call from 10am on wards if it was speed services - the parcel should be there.

Picked up my copy this morning on the way to work...still pondering how to fake some illness to go home

It can't be a 'fake illness' if there are tons of people in Gauteng have it at the same time. Some stomach bug breakout that lasts for 24 hours. Wink Wink. Let's do this.

I told my bosses that I would like to go home early today because Mass Effect was coming out, came in an hour early 3 days this week so I can leave 3 hours earlier today.
