PS4 Pro boxes getting prepped

Still saying arrives tomorrow from Amazon U.K. Still no dispatch though :( I expect its because I'm pretty close to their Southampton warehouse but still. Gonna be utterly livid if it doesn't come tomorrow!

I've had orders shipping even later in the day and arriving the following day as expected, and I'm not very close to their warehouse. Still...I'm getting nervous too. If nothing happens within the next hour, I'll talk to them on live chat and see what's happening.
 
Ooooh, was that when you ordered? I didnt see that option to be fair.

Nope, on the email they send you, you can click the track order or go here, its the same site:

Stick your reference number in and you'll see what DPD call a range of "in flight options" that you can look at.
One of them is upgrade delivery to a different time slot instead of waiting for them to give you one.
I always select the earliest one. Sure its £10, but I'd rather get any parcel early and have the rest of the day to myself.

Even let you pay with PayPal!

Yeah, I went with Shopto just because I knew they'd use DPD which is super reliable where I am. Plus they had a decent trade in offer for my old PS4, worked out pretty well really!

Yea, I love them, such a good site!
 
Crap. I'm sorry!! I would get back on and make them give me credit for the hassle. I've been down that road a few times. They eventually give in when you ask questions like "What are you going to do to make this up to me?" Or "This is a major issue for me, what are you going to do to make it right other than say you're sorry!!"... followed by "Is that all my future business is worth?? A sorry?? Look at all the business I do with you. I think you can grant me some kind of compensation!!"

Well they have given me £10 in credit, fuck them from now on. I must spends thousands with them over a year but they can do one after this fucking console arrives.

Should have shopped at the S word....

What are the chances they'd let me drive there and get it myself? LOL.

I live in NY. My Note 7 shipped to somewhere just outside Philly 3 days early. I tried calling for the same reason and there was an order to hold it until the release day no matter what. Not sure if Sony cares as much as Verizon, but I was pretty bummed about that.
 
Got my PS4 Pro, being sold early in Belgium.

Super quiet but only reaches 2Mpbs download via wifi. My cellphone on the exact same spot gets 45Mbps :(
 
Just got back from trading my old XB1 and PS4 in. Preorder is paid off and ready to pick up tomorrow. I just wish I didn't have to work until 4-5 tomorrow. Hopefully I can sneak out a little early.

First release day console purchase in my 20 years of gaming.
 
Yep, I'm betting I won't get my system for a while. Good job Amazon. Maybe I'll get another month or two of free Prime out of you again.

Yeah, I did notice that as well. I know the wifi in the Pro is 5ghz right? Does that introduce some kind of weirdness for which there is a fix?
 
Amazon US
Still hasn't shipped, says "Shipping Soon" was supposed to ship on the 8th.
Money has been taken from my account
WTF
Still says it's scheduled for tomorrow before 8pm
I guess that's a good sign.

EDIT: Now says "Shipping Today"
 
SHIPPING.........SOON.............I will cancel prime if this shit doesn't show up on time. Amazon has been fucking terrible all year for video games. I don't get it....Best Buy has been on a damn roll being EARLY!!!! Let alone on time.......amazon is literally 45 minutes away how can you possibly fuck this up.



For those wondering.....I pre-ordered the day it was announced.....they didn't even have a damn picture yet when I pre-ordered!!!
 
Started my backup to external to restore on the pro tomorrow.

Quick numbers:

First 30 minutes almost 80GB transfered
Total is 332GB
102 minutes remaining.

So roughly, just over 2 hours for 330GB for me. Guess it'll be a similar timescale restoring the backup on the Pro.
 
Mine has been dispatched from the shop we dont mention.

Coming with DPD tomorrow.

Saw you mention this before. Is it shopto you mean because I don't think there's any issue with talking about them anymore. I got my OG PS4 via shopto and although my Amazon order has now been dispatched i wish I'd just went with them again for the pro.
 
DPD are by far the best at deliveries, their tracking system is superb and more companies should do this.
Mines is getting delivered by Amazon logistics :(

Awesome just done it.
 
Thanks for the tip, I upgraded my Tesco order too !

Yup! Any order with DPD can be upgraded. :)

GAME are shipping mine via DPD in the morning for free.

In some instances, the website themselves will pay the extra to arrange for early delivery in the morning.

If they havent given you a specific timeslot yet (that usually happens in the early morning, around 7am - 8am just as the van leaves the depot) it could be at any point during the day.
I know if I wait for the timeslot, I might very well get an early window, but then I could also get a late one and be sat around all day, so for £10 I'd rather not take the small risk and just pay to get it early.

I'm sorry you went through that. Honestly, it sounds more of a one-off scenario, but, you should do what makes you comfortable with items you look forward to having on time.

Maybe use the credit on an MP3 or digital software?

Bastards!!! I'm just trying to make it easier on them!! ;)

Right thats cool, last time I read something it was still a forbidden word I thought. This place moves too fast for me sometimes!!
 
Whats the chances of walking in to a local Game store in UK and just buying one? Or should i expect them to be sold out?

Im in no rush but im working near a Game store tomorrow so may pop in after work to get one.
 
Has anyone who ordered from Amazon had a change of location for the item? I mentioned previously that the status of the item shipment was still at left for to go to the carrier since 10 am yesterday. I was hoping to receive an update by now saying that it's in Arizona or something but nope. I called Amazon and spoke to a rep but it seems like lately everytime I talk to someone they aren't as either nice or helpful as they used to be. When I voiced my concerns about the item and where it was the lady reaffirmed again and again that the website says Thursday and that the item has shipped and heading to the carrier. Even though I told her what UPS said. I just ended the call quickly cause I was getting nowhere with her.

Highly likely I would have thought.

Mine went from Lewisberry PA 7 PM last night to Avenel NJ by 6 something AM Eastern today and no update since. That could be just how it is for this region/area though.
 
Quick Mustard works for DPD!!

Joking mate :)

Lol, nah I dont. I just really like them. They've done a lot to restore my faith in delivery companies in the UK over the years and seem to be one of the only ones who go out of their way to take on board what the customer actually wants as opposed to being told "Your delivery will be with you between 8am and 9pm" which in my eyes in todays modern world, is just a stupid and illogical timeframe to give now a days.
 
No ps4pro yet but I just ordered a 2TB hdd for it!

Now I have to buy it!

My current ps4 has a 1TB hybrid in it but recently I have been really struggling deciding what to delete when DL new stuff. And there are going to be so many games next year so figured I need 2TB.
 
Sweet, going to sell my PS4.

Sorry to ask here but I assume the process goes:

1. Back up saves
2. Deactivate
3. Full initialization
4. Sell?
 
Call first. I got the email and rushed over, but the computer has a block on pro sales until tomorrow so they wouldn't let me pick them up.

ugh, thanks for the heads up. My status says "Ready to Pick Up Available Wed, Nov 9" but I called, and you are correct. They won't allow the sale to go through until tomorrow.

Depending on your location and where it's being shipped from, it may not update very often. The package has to be physically scanned with a barcode scanner before the tracking information updates.

I've had games and stuff from Amazon show up on release day despite them being shipped late afternoon the previous day. They're usually pretty good about getting you your stuff on time. If it doesn't arrive by Friday, then you can start complaining. I'd take it up with Amazon, who will verify with UPS that the item hasn't been delivered. If they still have it, they'll let you know what you can do next and why it wasn't delivered on time. At that point, you can probably get some kind of discount from Amazon if you had a guarantee release day delivery.

The important thing is not to stress out too much.

Yeah agree, I've also got something coming from Amazon tomorrow which is 8am to 6pm.

No going for a piss or a shower tomorrow.

I saw you posting earlier about it and I remember the same conversation when the OG PS4 released. Talking about them is fine but you still can't link to the shopto website the word filter blanks it out. I'm wishing I had went with shopto myself now just for the DPD delivery but in a moment of madness I pre-ordered with Amazon.

Understood. Thanks. And commiserations too.
 
Ahhh so excited. I should probably clear a bit of space on my OG to help with the transfer.

Very surprised my target order is being delivered tomorrow when I ordered Friday night. I was expecting next week with how UPS works. I'm going to make sure the UPS guy doesn't try to pull a fast one because they like to pretend no one is home and just drive off.
