I don't mean to be alarmist but the smaller retailers are far less likely to deliver on day 1. They'll allocate on a first come first serve so if I were you, I'd pursue a UK retailer with more logistical pulling power.

I am happy to pay those prices for Games I know I will love and enjoy, just means I won't give shitty games a chance like I may have done before.
During launch, sligthly higher prices are half expected.
After that's out of the way, I can't see me paying much more than £45 for many games, £50 if it's a must have.
If I have to wait a month or so, I'm ok with that,.
£70 is just too much, even £60 is too much, my limit is going to be £50.

Is there still a lot of people who haven’t managed to preorder units? Or a lot have day one purchase?

Simply Games have opened their second round of registering interest for their next allocation of preorders if anyone is interested. Good luck.

Hello. Have Argos debited your credit card / bank card yet? They’ve taken the full £450 for mine.

Ah, good to know. Same here. Hopefully day one confirmed if they have taken payment. Hopefully.

I'm planning to do a PS5 retail hunt 1-2 weeks after release. I managed to snag a PS4 in the same way when many said there were shortages so you never know.

Lmao Amazon are shipping me my extra Dualsense a week early alongside the games I already knew about. Great. Can't wait to press buttons on that thing while it's connected to nothing.
I get that it's to alleviate launch day shipping pressure, it just makes me laugh.

Imagine though, you get all your peripherals a week early, you open them in the excitement as you just cant wait another week... then the day before launch you get an email.... Subject: "Limited Stock - Your order has been delayed"
You torn the boxes beyond repair in the excitement to open your extras and can no longer return them...
Lucky for Amazon Prime though, they don't tend to ask questions on returns.
Sidenote: My controller, Headset and Charging station are all arriving on the 12th.

I'm not sure what area/region of the UK you're in but the energy for PS5 is way different than the PS4 launch.
Best of luck in your pursuit though.

It is top secret where I am....*Robert De Niro finger wag gif* I will not be giving you my secrets/strategy on acquiring a PS5!
Joking aside the PS4 launch was pretty crazy though perhaps PS5 will be even crazier but I'm thinking it will only be really bad for the first week or two or maybe a little longer due to the covid situation.
We will soon see, though.

Yea it could be good, I don't think it looks awful or anything. Maybe it will surprise us and score in the high 70s / low 80s
Also, pretty sure it will be £70 seeing as that's the RRP.

ALWAYS buy PSN wallet and PS+ top-ups from third parties. Never pay full digital price.

Did you initially want the all digital but change your mind or was that the only one available?
Ps if a mod could add in to the title "UK GAF PS5/XB Pre-Order Watch" that would be great. Because many of us have pre ordered or trying to get both consoles. Think it will be quite fun come the 10th/19th seeing who gets their consoles first in the UK.

It was the only one available when I looked. I didn't really know about the differences in pricing between psychical/digital, and thought it wouldn't be worth the initial lesser price in the long run

Just a heads up you can pre-order Demons souls for £55 via Ebay Code POPUPOCT20 , via "thegamecollectionoutlet"
Mine went through few minutes ago fine. £55 is still bit much but not guna get much better before launch I don't think.
Also If family member (Or friend willing to get you one) works at currys they do get 20% off PS5 pre-orders. I have one pre-ordered, so in effect you pretty much get Disk version for cost of digital. I know stocks out at moment but just to confirm there is staff discount.

Let's hope any new lock down rules don't effect our day one deliveries 
Anyone planning to collect from a store might have trouble?

Probably will. If non-essential businesses have to close, I don’t see how people will be able to get shipments from shopto, game, etc. Very concerning but ultimately something has to be done about COVID because our government can’t seem to get a handle on things.Let's hope any new lock down rules don't effect our day one deliveries

Lockdown doesn't affect deliveries.
When the last lockdown occured ShopTo had to reduce their customer service staff but the warehouse was open as normal and delivered on time.
Now shops are more prepared and delivery chains are used to dealing with COVID procedures it should be fine.
If you're with Amazon? You might get shafted as they did this last time with FF7 Remake when they prioritised essential goods over games.

I dont think all of the day1 deliveries will be affected. Most courier companies will be open.. electronic distribution centres may close though, so unless its Amazon etc I think there may be some issues.
Ive got my preorder with Currys so if any full lockdown comes into play, I doubt I'll get it day 1 since Currys is hardly essential... unless we are talking Chinese and Indian

Just thought I would mention too mate during lockdown I had 4 orders from ShopTo and they all came early, FF7 Remake came a week early for example so it could be the case of you getting your PS5 a day or two earlier to ensure they all get to customers.
I used DPD though for couriers, Royal Mail were terrible during lockdown I heard.

With the new lockdown what will happen to all the stock they were going to reserve for people coming in on launch day?

!!! If you pre-ordered from Currys and have not yet paid for your console !!!
Check your junk folder! I can't believe that literally every email I get from Currys normally comes through fine EXCEPT the one with my pre-order code. It said it expired at midnight on Sunday 1st Nov but I've just managed to go through checkout this morning and make payment. Shat myself for a moment. Still going to double check via web chat that it's all okay.
