Out of curiosity what happened with Tesco? I've gotten the text earlier today to collect in the morning but never got the congratulations email so I'm not sure whats going to happen in the morning

They sent confirmation email and order received email around 9.45 last Thursday morning and then around 8 hours later they said unsuccessful but sure by that time everywhere else was sold out, I wouldn't of stopped looking if I had of known so now on the hunt coming up to Christmas. I've read that a few people never received the congratulations email but still got there device so id say you'll be fine tomorrow. Hopefully I'm lucky in the next few days.

Anyone ever heard or used this website? https://thegamesdept.com/index.php?route=common/home Looks a bit iffy?

Yes very iffy, domain only created a month ago, also making believe they have stock when no others have it.

Update on my DID order. Made a public tweet yesterday morning hoping for some solid information. Got a reply asking for order # and that they would have it ready asap. By 5PM I had a DM on my twitter saying it's ready for collection! I think it was just sitting in storage in the shop since Monday/Wednesday and they hadn't got to it yet. A bit ridiculous that I was waiting 8 days with no tracking updates & multiple contacts to support for info and still had to resort to twitter to get it resolved. I'm just happy it's sorted now. Will edit this post later when I have it in my hands!

UPDATE: I just collected it from Malahide branch, needed ID and invoice. Very easy process, PS5 in perfect condition. Best of luck to everyone still waiting on theirs!

Anyone any hassle with HN that selected Delivery instead of Collect?

I managed to get one ordered last Thursday.
Next day they told me it would be delayed 5 days.
Arrived from Cork yesterday

Hi guys,

I'm living in the UK and ordered a console from Very for my brother as he couldn't get one on release day. I thought I could just send it by post office but I have just found out they don't take packages that big to Ireland.

Anyone any suggestions for a cheap enough way to get it from UK to Ireland? DPD is coming up at over 50 pound. I don't have it yet its being sent to Yodel the carrier and I should have received it by Monday.

Thanks.

Can you change the address to Parcel Motel maybe?

Hi guys new here, I was just wondering would anyone be able to tell me roughly when I should be expecting mine. I made the order in GameStop on the 16th September but can’t/unsure how to track it based from receipt thanks !

Any updates guys? My tracking status hasnt changed since midday monday (still at heathrow transit hub).

@braniac who ordered from currys and addresspal along with us his package was in ireland day before yesterday. I am getting worried now

Still sitting in Heathrow too!

So all three of us are in the same drowning boat it seems XD

Mine did arrive today Guys, so they're coming. As I said to koolkunz yesterday in PM, they can be pretty slow but it always does arrive.

On the negative side, Currys packaged it in a plastic bag. The box was a little battered, but the console seems fine. Ye should all get it next week so just hold out

You can't use that site tracker if you made the order instore unfortunately. I'm in the same boat. Nobody really knows when to expect them. We're all kind of hoping that the expected December restocks extend to GS as well, and that they fulfill outstanding preorders out of that.

Ah no bother thanks a million

Just one more small question can you check an post tracking link and give the exact date and time they received your package. Like mine is Monday 23 Nov 12:42 PM.

First tracking element, and matching time on AddressPal system was:

We have your post in LONDON, HEATHROW TRANSIT HUB

Based on email, DPD dropped it to An Post London between 12:30 and 1:30 that afternoon, possibly in the same shipment and they processed yours onto the AP system first. I'd imagine it's just luck of the draw which packages get on a plane first though tbh.

Mine ( well for my son) arrived yesterday from the UK, plugged it in today, did all the updates and downloaded couple games ( very fast at downtown) and it’s awesome. Loving the sounds coming out of the controller
