Any HN orders, are you signed up fully with them? If so, on their site under My Orders is anything showing? I am getting the same as everyone else on the tracking page but there is nothing at all appearing on the My Orders screen which I find strange??

Cheers,
M

It shows up under my orders, I have an account with them. I'd give them a bell tomorrow if you're concerned.

Just got a delivery delayed (5 days) email from HN.

Oh no! Was there any more detail on the cause of the delay? A bit concerned now for the lack of a phonecall.

No more detail. But I’ll take a order delayed email over a cancelled email. Fingers crossed

Still nothing but a confirmation @ 9.27 from Tesco....no congratulations e-mail, no "sorry our of stock" email.

Smyths likely to have them tonight?

I think someone on this thread mentioned there was a 9pm rumour around Smyths.

Doubt it's true but it's work a visit just in case.

I was but didn't get anywhere, in queue for over 2.hrd and it came up nó stock

For me it just came up as a preorder and release is December 10th. Had to pay a tenner for delivery too, the ba$tards!

I had my apprentice on all the sites refreshing it pretty much all day. I've to buy him breakfast tomorrow because it was him that found the game queue

Thanks,
Mark

Yeah I couldn't even get onto the website at all but my sister and girlfriend managed to get the the PS5 page. Girlfriend managed to add it to cart but this was after the said it was sold out so no luck.

I somehow got very very lucky, if I do actually get it!

Had it added to my cart after site going down many times, which was the first surprise! Then the next trick was to get to the checkout which I did. After that it was PayPal and to get to PayPal it didn't work a fair few times. I did feel that once it was in my cart that if the site stayed up, which it did, I would eventually get to PayPal and that finally happened but it was all crazy and touch and go like!

Cheers,
M

Main page wasn't working but then I googled "Harvey Norman PS5" and it brought me to a different page. That page must have had less traffic and that's why I got through to the checkout.

My experience was basically

- after many tries got on the PS5 page

- clicked the add to cart. nothing happened. clicked another couple of times, nothing happened.

- refreshed the page. a number of refreshes later, i saw one item was in my cart. clicked something - maybe the cart icon - and it redirected to the checkout page

- a number of refreshes later, the checkout page finally loaded. I was logged in so my details were there. Clicked the Paypal link. (Was logged into paypal in the background also)

- This took a whillllle for HN to redirect to Paypal, but once they did the paypal bit was fast, but then redirected back to Harvey Norman. After another long load, got a 504. I refreshed this redirect link a number of times, until eventually an acknowledgement mail came through from HN. I never actually saw a confirmation page on their site, it never fully loaded, but it worked 'enough' for the order to go through.

When their site was working again later, I could see the order in my account, track it etc.

It was basically a total slog, and a matter of pure luck what requests got through. I think if I had hesitated about refreshing the final redirect back to HN - which I thought about, in terms of double charging etc - I think it probably wouldn't have happened. Am super lucky this worked out.
