My Smyth order says “Still in progress” and I haven’t received a delivery date nor have I been charged. Getting abit worried now 😭😭

Still desperately trying to get hold of a ps5 pre-order due to ShopTo fucking mine up (claiming I didn't confirm my interest, which is BS. Happened to a friend also). Anyone out there sitting on a spare they don't need?

In the same boat. Not worried, still basically 2 weeks until launch. I expect the charge to be next week. I think I will be ok as I got the pre-order in straight away when they opened theirs up. (digital edition).

This happened to my bro too. They said he never registered an interest so he said why do I have 1p in my account then? They never got back to him.

Just keep an eye on stockinormer, there should be regular stock coming in post launch.

This wait is killing me, I ended up getting Yakuza in the hope it lasts me until next Thursday.

Yeah Im hoping to get one on launch day when some of the retailers will restock (online obviously). Suspect the scalping bots will be out though

I'm still bitter about the shopto thing. I've been a customer of theirs for years and got my launch PS4 and subsequent pro upgrade with them. They even closed the ticket as well so I couldn't argue it.

I take it nowhere at all has one available, I've literally not seen any available anywhere the entire time preorders have been available (PS5)

Game had Xbox preorders this morning. Now it's available only for their next batch (mid december).

Tomorrow is the big day for Xbox. Who will be the first to get theirs!? Set your alarms 😉

Check your ShopTo account if you used them for the PS5!

my ShopTo order says:

Payment Information
Pre-order processing started 09/11/2020

To anyone who has ordered from GAME UK beware! They are changing many DPD and Royal Mail tracked deliveries to Hermes and Yodel!

I'd be shocked given how much they're going for on eBay. It's gonna be rare that people are outright cancelling them when they can just turn them round for hundreds of pounds of profit.

Amazon sent me two codes I don't need if anyone wants them PM me. I don't think there tied to my account but couldn't say for sure.

10 pounds off a Series X/S controller or Elite 2 controller.

40% off a 3 month Gamepass ultimate code. (19.99 instead of 32.99). Expires in 14 days.

Got the same codes if anyone wants them.

After seeing the score for Bugsnax lol, oh and er...yeah DeS looking shithot and worth completing again, plus Astrobot I'm starting to feel seriously annoyed at myself for not even trying to get a launch PS5. Hope the post above isn't just Game chatting shit and there may be consoles to snag on launch day.

Just have to find a vinyl for those fins if I do snag one.

How do you register interest on these UK sites to know when there will be pre-orders available? Can't see anything on GAME or Currys.

If it's small they sometimes leave it at the door. But they're not going to leave the PS5 at the door.

I would contact support and see what they say, maybe you could ask a neighbour to take it?

Can't beat DPD, ShopTo are gods for not working with Yodel and Hermes.
Couriers just depend on your local area.

My Hermes person is fantastic. Never had a bad experience. Always on time, always left in the right place, friendly interaction.

On the flip side, despite having good visibility on when something is arriving some of the DPD people are utter shit, from skipping visits to only waiting 2 seconds before walking away which happened again just last week but equally, the DPD guy at work is a boss.

Only trustworthy couriers are DPD, DHL (NOT UKMail) and Fedex. Rest are garbage. GG Shopto.
Tomorrow should be when I get my shipping email from ShopTo, hopefully you get yours too! They're starting to process orders for collection next week 🔥

You mean the one with the tracking number? There's been activity with my order today and it's no longer a pre-order - its "processing" in the orders section. I got the 'preparing your order for next collection' email earlier today. They are shipping everything together so Pulse and Console will arrive next week.

Yeah bro, I spoke to a customer rep and they said they're getting all orders ready for collection from DPD asap.

Good morning people, welcome to the dawn of Gen 9. Let us see your "Early Christmas" presents as they come in! 😉

I've got the Series X with Amazon and an additional controller with Shopto.

I see Amazon have removed the Series X page, it just leads to the controller now. Maybe to stop people selling them at ridiculous prices. I guess they won't have inventory day 1 online.

Just a heads up, my xbox x is arriving today(UK), Payment was taken last week but they have charged me again this morning leaving no money on my card for my PS5 pre order. Shit needs reversing ASAP. Currently in a que of 300 people on support.

Hopefully hasn't happened to anyone else.

Who you order from?

Spoke to a friend of mine Currys has stock for both in some stores, so may be worth phoning your local store. Interestingly the ratio is 2:1 in favour of the X.

The Series S is now visible again though can't add to the basket - but at least will help you check your local store stock if you really want the S.
 
My work network seems to block the image you sent and I am currently nervous about orders lol!

You could send an imgur link
This is the raw screenshot link, let me know if you're able to view or not

It's 9:36am for me right now just so you're aware, last update 20 mins ago.

My S order is on its way too:

DPD for the X and Yodel for the S.
