Have they taken payment for any games or anything? They could be doing this in batches

Nope. It's for a friend anyway, I have my pre order for my one on Amazon. But nothing yet.

Now they say they've dispatched my Demon's Souls. Not sure why, it won't work in my PS4.
Strange, keep an eye out. It will probably happen soon.
Ok, keep an eye out.

It could be in batches or done according to when you placed the pre-order. Right now I'm more worried about my PS5 from Amazon, seeing as what went on with the XsX was really bad...
As for my games, they are coming from Amazon as well as the Pulse 3D headset.

Did anyone who should of got their order today from Amazon change their card or address during the pre order period? That was a old bug that would send you to the back of the line.

Wait. What the FUCK!
Are you serious? I changed my card details for the PS5 headset and PS5!
FUCK!
Are you saying I fucked myself and could of got the headset early and fucked up my PS5 pre order?!!

It was definitely a bug when the PS4 launched. That was a long time ago though, it's likely it's been fixed.... but I've had a card that wont do wireless for 2 months and didn't replace just in case

Was it being delivered by somebody else instead of Yodel?

Omg congratulations didnt expect that. You must of really hit it off with the customer service representative!
They will just have a script they read to every angry customer. Ones that are persistent get a 5er to compensate staying off work

At this point I'd marry them if it meant guaranteeing my PS5 for morning launch day delivery

Amazon updated my delivery times for the PS5 3D Pulse headset, now arriving tomorrow by 10.00pm.

Just got the email from ShopTo regarding my order arriving at the warehouse!
Don't think it is actually there yet but great news nonetheless!

I had mine a couple of days ago, I’d imagine they’re getting them all packed and labelled ready for DPD to start picking them up next week.Just got the email from ShopTo regarding my order arriving at the warehouse!

Yeah when I spoke to a customer rep they said it was to process the orders through as quickly as possible to ensure smooth collections for DPD.
So lucky that we get DPD, they used DHL for Xbox and that resulted in some problems with tracking.

Was Royal Mail - specifically because other delivery companies struggle to find my flat but Royal Mail are fine.
Though have also read posts on the other site of people who had paid for DPD morning delivery having their delivery downgraded but the not getting the delivery charge back.
Doesn't help that Game's support at is all but non existent - no phone number, no live chat, social media taking 4 days to get back to people and their support ticket system taking 72 hours to get back to people.

I am with Shopto, got the email this morning, so excited, however my pre order is still in the pre-order section of my orders which is weird, my friends is in orders and processing.

Just got a follow up with ‘shipment confirmation’ as the header. My package is ready for pickup! But not til next Wednesday, boo.

Just got an update on my PS5 pre order with GAME via helpdesk.
They are processing payment in batches and not to worry about lack of emails at this point.
Looks like my friend should get his.

Would you be able to PM me a screenshot of the email if possible mate?Just got a follow up with ‘shipment confirmation’ as the header. My package is ready for pickup! But not til next Wednesday, boo.
Wanna see if it is the same as the usual shipment confirmation email and all that jazz, of course black out anything personal on it!

It’s pretty much the same as the previous one, with order at the bottom, includes DPD tracking number too.
“ Dear *******,
Congratulations, we just packed your item(s) and everything is ready to be dispatched to you soon. Our dispatch of orders is on every working day up until 5.20pm (5.00pm for TNT / DPD) .
We do not dispatch orders over the weekend or during public holidays.
There is an exception to this rule as however during busy periods (such as Christmas) we may dispatch on a Saturday.”
A couple of minutes later an invoice arrived also.

Anyone got a preorder for Puss5 from Argos? Ain't heard diddly squat.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Same basically. We got super busy so I hadn't had a single holiday day in the first half of the year which meant I had over 3 weeks to take in this second half, using one for PS5 launch (and at the time, Cyberpunk
)

Got an email from Smyths. My PS5 DE edition good to go for launch. Will take payment prior to shipping on Wednesday.
Been very lucky - both xsx and ps5 day one.

Does anyone think that whole Amazon UK if you change payment, it fucks up where you are on the wait times for dispatch bug is true? I'm getting worried.

UK yeah. I think they're just labelling things up ready for next week. It will either be kept at Game's warehouse and won't be collected until next Tues/Weds OR DPD will collect them this week, distribute them to the correct depots and hold them their until next Thursday. Chances of getting them early are slim imho.
