DISPATCHED! - The PlayStation 5 "IT'S HAPPENING!" thread

[mikeyl]

Is there any disc space advantage for going physical v digital e.g. Miles Morales? I think I know the answer is no and it’s always has been?

[Super Craig]

It’s supposed to be the same data that gets installed.

[El Geet]

Spoke to Argos and was given a DPD tracking number. Obv doesn’t work yet but all systems go. 

[gooner4life]

No movement yet from either Very or Currys 

[gospvg]

Ditto from Amazon, no money taken yet.

[Uzi]

It is prob gonna be quiet until Wed - maybe even late Wed night/early Thurs morning (DPD tracking tends to go live the night before delivery due)

 

Hold on to yer buttz

This is probably an annoying as fuck question that’s been asked 100s of times. But any clue as to the best way to get a PS5 if not preordered? Will there be stock on Argos/Amazon etc on day before release maybe? I know it’s unlikely I’ll be able to get one but wouldn’t mind knowing if anyone else is in my position and has a plan? 

[Harrisown]

We’re getting in a total of 7 units here at work , I think they might all be for pre order customers.

so I might get a sneaky look at the box before Thursday. (I bet one gets stolen overnight)

A couple of retailers such as Game said they will have stock on release date to order online only.

My Series X was delivered by DPD last week. Turned up a day late after a very random detour to France. Bizarre to say the least.

They're probably not going to take anything until Wednesday. Amazon don't treat console preorders as anything special, it's literally just another product to deliver for them that they don't particularly prioritise so they just take payment at dispatch the day before release.

[gospvg]

Update from Amazon

 

"We have good news! One of your pre-ordered items is now eligible for release date delivery and has been upgraded at no additional charge. Your new delivery estimate is:

  "PlayStation 5 Console"
    Estimated arrival date: November 19 2020"

Just got the same, shits getting real!

[geordie]

I got that.  I also got it last week for my X which ended up being a day late, so it’s bollocks.  Fingers crossed though.

[MansizeRooster]

Just got that mail too. Does it actually mean anything though?

[gospvg]

I am fine if it's a day late, I just want it to enjoy over the weekend.

I'll be working from home not that I will be doing much work apart from "track the delivery driver"

LET US DREAM, MAN. 

[ukdazs]

I got the Amazon email too. Woop woop!

[Tomdominer]

@Marlew and @Jonamok any "VERY" good news? All I have is "Order being processed at supplier", what ever the fuck that means.
