Me and my friend decided to order our 360 games today I got PGR3, Condemned, and PDZ. Anyways we ordered from ebgames.com because gamestop.com said condemned is a pre order for 11-22-05 where as at ebgames.com it is shipping right now.

Now my question. I have only used overnight shipping once from ebgames.com and that was for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City back in the day, and long story short it took almost a whole week for my game to get to me when it should have been overnight. So ever since that day I have ordered from Gamestop.com and have never had a problem with their overnight shipping. But for this situation I ordered from ebgames.com today with overnight shipping, soooooo I should have my games by monday except for PDZ which is still a pre order.

Just wondering for people who order from them often should my games be at my house by monday?
 
In theory it should be their tomorrow saturday (i.e today) I know UPS does not work weekends but fedex I think works saturday so in theory if they use fedex it might be their saturday or monday. It might come DHL which was airborne and I have no idea how they work so good luck.

All three are the same. They will work saturdays, but they will not deliver on a saturday or sunday unless you pay a premium. Overnight may include the premium to have it delivered on saturday, but I know 2day and 3day do not have that premium built in, so if you order on friday morning, it will come in on tuesday or wednesday.
 
well I ordered on Thrusday afternoon around 1PM. and from my experience ebgames.com usually uses UPS for shipping. Just hoping I have my 360 games by monday so I can be playing them tuesday morning.
 
360 games are NOT going to be hard to get. I'd save the money from overnighting and just pick it up locally. With the severe shortage of hardware the software is going to be very easy to come by.
 
well they have already been ordered, plus I don't trust my wal mart to have all the games I want to buy, so I just went ahead and ordered them to be save that I get what I want.

I had the exact same problem with Gamestop.com. The problem is not Fedex or UPS. If you order with overnight shipping, you'll get it the the next morning whenever they ship your order. The problem lies with Gamestop/EB is how they processed their orders. I don't understand why does it take them almost to a week or even 48 hours to process an order for me sometimes. If there was any problem then they didn't even bother contacting me. I contacted them and they gave me this bullshit about them having "errors" in their warehouse. If I were you, don't bother with overnight shipping anymore. Its not worth it since there's a chance they might take long to process your order. Its like paying overnight for standard service. Just use standard shipping next time.
 
Wierd since several of my local stores (Toys R US, etc) actually have Xbox 360 games sitting on the shelves.

Anyway, I used to pre-order my PC games (Diablo 2, Dark Age of Camelot, etc.. about 12 or so total) from EBgames and I would always have the game in my hands the day after release.
