Impatiently waiting for my DPD tracking to become active!! COMEONNNN!!

Also - did get my hands on a PS4 unit in GAME earlier. Quit out of Fifa to choose another demo, chose Knack, PS4 system crashed with static sound coming out of the second DS4. And thats my first PS4 experience.

Hope I dont have that presence with every PS4..

You are banned from my house!

Mines been dispatching since midnight. I just want my email
Money has gone from my account though so i'll definitely get one at least

 

[SJRB]

I've missed all the news behind this Japan v China PS4 panic. Someone enlightening me, please.

There's a myth that somehow all Chinese PS4s are shoddy pieces of garbage that not only wobble but will self-destruct in 5 days, while the Japanese models are blessed by Cerny and will radiate his blessing upon the user for all eternity.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

rumour has it the Chinese build tend to be the ones failing while the Japanese build are more solid

Oh the faulty HDMI port?

 

[Siegmeyer]

No email from Amazon for my PS4 or SM3DW yet. As long as one of them arrives tomorrow I won't be too pissed. Both have been 'Dispatching now' on the Amazon site since this morning.

 

[Dougald]

Could anyone vouch if Yodel are a good courier? I haven't heard amazing things about their service.

Normally they are average but when they are bad, they are really bad

Once when I shipped a laptop and a laptop bag for work, they changed the delivery to 1 package instead of 2 and had the laptop away

Generally ok when they deliver to me though. Delivery bloke has a habit of ringing the bell then leaving my package on the doorstep and walking off, but my front door is completely sheltered from the street so I don't really mind. I heard they work their drivers to the bone in terms of number of deliveries a day

 

[Carl]

Don't bother, DPD will email/text you with delivery date and that is when the code will go active.

Why would that stop me F5ing?

Still Saying Nothing can be found?

Yep

 

[mangochutney]

Mine says Expedited and Dispatching now (has been like that for a few hours)

Damn launch days, nerve wracking stuff, I just want my PS4.
I'll be stroking the box when I get it "my precious".

Same here, been despatching now since 10pm last night.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Dispatched at 16:30. I got City Link, which is great, as the guy lives on my street!

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Oh man I just want Amazon to ship so I can enjoy my night out tonight

I laughed hard at that.

 

[mikelarry]

Oh the faulty HDMI port?

faulty hdmi, blue screen and all the other faults reported about the ps4 and what they had in common was that they were the Chinese build.

 

[Astrates]

Woooooo thank the lord for Amazon and DPD!

 

[DeyTukRJerbs]

When did yours change to dispatching soon?

It changed to "dispatching soon" yesterday afternoon and then "dispatching now" this morning I think.

I wouldn't look into it too much. I think everyone will get them tomorrow.

 

[mxgt]

Still waiting on my dispatch confirmation

Not the end of the world if it doesn't arrive tomorrow as at least I'll have SM3DW

 

[DBT85]

rumour has it the Chinese build tend to be the ones failing while the Japanese build are more solid

This cannot be stated with any degree of certainty, since there are so few Japanese ones in the wild at this point.

 

[PFD]

Just be glad you guys don't have UPS

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

[KingofGourds]

Got the official confirmation from Simplygames that my PS4 has been dispatched and will be delivered by DPD tomorrow guaranteed.

Awwwwww yeahhhhhhh.

Now let's see if Amazon Prime and their Royal Mail chums can get my games here tomorrow too *coughyeahrightarseholescough*.

Regardless I'll at least have Resogun to play hehehe.

 

[uncleniccius]

Spent all day F5ing my Amazon UK order page, no movement from 'Dispatching Now'. Drive back from the office, get home... and while sorting through my post, my phone buzzes at me...

Courier is DPD, coming in one big juicy care package including dualshock charging station, vertical stand, camera clip and, err.. a copy of Super Mario 3D World

*palpable relief*

What delivery method are you on?

 

[FlyStarJay]

been dispatched via city link..................nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jeez did i miss dpd or what? City Link if you are usless you will regret it

 

[Dead Prince]

Just be glad you guys don't have UPS

change that to USPS.

Sit inside watching from window. watch USPS drive up to mailbox. see them place a pink slip inside. drives off.

 

[Lamptramp]

Just had my confirmation mail from amazon UK.

Dispatched due tomorrow!! To be honest I'm happy enough to know its been dispatched I don't mind how late it arrives

\o/

 

[thegabman]

"Auf dem Transportweg"!!! Now I'm very confident to get my PS4 tomorrow!

 

[Addnan]

Got email/text from DPD. Some relief kicking in.

 

[Quick Mustard]

Still waiting for my DPD tracking number to become active.

F55555555555

Lol, Its sitting in the back of my mind, that until it goes live, I cant fully relax.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

What delivery method are you on?

Standard free delivery, not Prime.

Text 4 and see what happens.

 

[uncleniccius]

Damn, I'm really hoping for DPD! They've been great when I've had stuff from them before.

 

[Silurus]

Queue started at 3pm at my local Asda!

Glad I pre-ordered at Game.

 

[Liljagare]

Nice, it's sorted, got a pickup SMS allready.. This weekend is going to be good!! Might just put in for vacation on monday too..

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Worth pointing out that if I just go to orders on Amazon, it still says preordered, even though it has been dispatched.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Damn, I'm really hoping for DPD! They've been great when I've had stuff from them before.

No complaints here, DPD have always been fine for me in the past. I don't think I've ever knowingly had a Yodel delivery, but from all the less than flattering testimonials I've read of them over the years, it sounds like I've dodged a bullet or two.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Worth pointing out that if I just go to orders on Amazon, it still says preordered, even though it has been dispatched.

That happens all the time. Don't worry.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

I'm hoping for DPD. This thread is like an advertisement for them! But thinking back, they always communicate the most and I always get it on time. I got a copy of FIFA 14 for PS4 yesterday with DPD.

 

[Mikeside]

I'm dispatched on Amazon UK. Yesssssssssssssss

 

[Adamm]

Amazon made a mess of my order and says it will arrive on the 30th, but may still arrive tomorrow....

I should just go to Asda or tesco

 

[mxgt]

Still waiting on my dispatch confirmation

Not the end of the world if it doesn't arrive tomorrow as at least I'll have SM3DW

scratch that, just got dispatch email

DPD, aw yea

 

[MikeJAMoran]

I'm dispatched on Amazon UK. Yesssssssssssssss

WHEN IS MINE GOING TO SHIP? I'm freaking out now. :-(

Good job I didn't book tomorrow of work as planned!

 

[Lamptramp]

They are just excellent, always within their hour approximation and always pleasant as anything.

Now thats just mean

Seriously tho - so excited! The DS4 too - major hype.

 

[03sho]

ACIV arrived today from Currys for £27. Thanks to whoever posted the code

 

[The_Monk]

I'm just curious, but all these people waiting in line in several places are customers who didn't pre-order, correct? Because it's getting cold in many places in Europe and there are people waiting in line for quite some time.

I hope they don't get sick... :/

 

[Dougald]

They are just excellent, always within their hour approximation and always pleasant as anything.

Their system must save them a fortune in wasted driver man hours, as you not only know what hour you'll be getting the package, you can tell them to deliver to a neighbour or another day if you're not going to be in.

 

[Danziger]

My order of Amazon is finally shipped!!!!

And tomorrow i'll go to bay my PS4 from gamestop!!!

Greatness arrives!!! :-D

 

[Audioboxer]

Amazon order just shipped! DPD. DPD delivered my hard drive to me today and it came at 10am. Hope the PS4 is an early delivery!

 

[darkwing]

Amazon made a mess of my order and says it will arrive on the 30th, but may still arrive tomorrow....

I should just go to Asda or tesco

hey, it's just a day

 

[eldudebro]

My console has shipped.

However my red and blue dualshocks, Battlefield 4 and the charging station are still showing as pre ordered...


COME ON AMAZON DO NOT FAIL ME

 

[8-Bit Beast]

So is there no way to download the update to USB early for us in the EU?

 

[jiggles]

I can't read this thread anymore.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I can't read this thread anymore.

Why? Not getting yours tomorrow?
