I honestly don't think so. I think the system is just slammed. Realistically, it's not hard to assume gamestop would get the lion's share of console allocation as the only primary gaming retailer in the country and I think the pandemic has made cooperation more difficult, there is probably extra precautions handing over to couriers, more difficult time getting staff aligned, who are probably already fatigued over the xbox launch.

Logically I can see reasons for the problems gamestop have.

Emotionally I hate their guts for leaving me in the dark

All they had to do was bring in some staff and do click and collect at most or all of their stores and it would have avoided the majority of their problems.

Saw this on Twitter. 194k in a queue for the curry’s website in the UK. Crazy demand.

Someone on hotukdeals found a way to bypass that during the original preorder sale.
Apparently when you click into the ps5 you see the proper webpage for a second then get redirected to the queue webpage, if you stop the page loading before being redirected to the queue page you can checkout as normal

As a backup I've ordered one from Tesco for collection on Tuesday! Just crazy...

I doubt its its lack of consoles, when they knew exactly how many they were getting they sent out the emails telling everyone who got one and who didnt. I'd say the whole system is jammers with getting them out and delivered. They prob know some will be late and didn't send out emails as the tracking prob wouldn't update for a few days

Hopefully so M8

I'm the exact same.

Really shouldn't be this concerned about it at my age but I'm checking the tracking every 5 minutes.

Trying to put one in my basket on Harvey Norman and it won't proceed to next screen! Have to keep resubmitting when it times out.

Try Tesco - they still have them in stock for collection or delivery from next Tuesday

I think I might be in the unique position of the person who preordered mine currently being asleep. Hopefully if it arrives they wake up to go to the door to get it.

I never use Tesco but I added a load of groceries in lockdown. Cant remove them from basket!!

They are being hit hard now by the looks of things

We are currently experiencing some technical issues.
We are sorry for any inconvenience whilst we resolve these issues. We'll be back up and running again soon.

Did anybody else's DPD go through the "Security Scan" before getting a timeslot for delivery? I've not seen the security scan step in the journey come up before with the couple of parcels I've ever had from DPD. I'm sure its normal enough, just odd that I've never seen that step before.

Smyths was like fort knox. Photo id, email, phone number. Good to see though

skerry

Woke up this morning with zero intention of even looking for a console. Now have delivery slot of 26th Nov from Tesco Not sure how I feel about this but if I flog PS4 Pro might not be an expensive upgrade. Also not sure how confident I am in Tesco delivering a console

mdwexford

Anyone get theirs delivered to parcel motel yet?

Mine is saying “package arrived at the final delivery station carrickfergus” at 12.36am and nothing since.

I could only check out if I changed it to between Tuesday and Thursday next week. Was locked otherwise

Think I accidentally ordered two though, so need to cancel one once the website is back up

Johner

Between 10.56 and 11.56 for my Smyths order.:)

Oh I know I'm being completely ridiculous.

I just got onto DPD's chat and they said it won't be delivered until tomorrow due to an overflow of parcels in the hub. I don't know if I believe Kumar, it's probably just a generic response they give when the tracking hasn't updated, but it certain has dashed my hopes a little and the fear has crept in.

I dont think you can order 2 - Only 1 allocation por customer, but I'll buy it off you if you get 2!!

No update for my delivery but I have just received Miles Morales :D Was full sure that it was going to be here in time. 1 down. 1 to go.
