Mine's just arrived from Microsoft, so hopefully everyone will start seeing theirs soon.

It had Microsoft's Reading postcode instead of the correct eircode, but UPS didn't contact me beforehand to update the eircode.

Where you the left the UK at 8.31 on Saturday batch?

Be good to know if anyone in this batch has started to get delivery's

Jaysus it's mad how everyone is having a different experience with UPS and the postcodes.

Mine is still scanned in Dublin as of 10pm last night but it still has Cork as the destination at least.

I put eircode on address line 1 too just in case as you would need eircode to find my house. Was shipped yesterday and out for delivery today in Cork

Has anyone collected from Smyths this morning, be curious to know how fast the process was and if there were any queues etc

Went to Smyths in Blanch a bit after 8, only about 8 in the queue when I showed up, and only one person had joined after me by the time I left. In and out in about 10-15 mins.

The process in store is pretty painless, tell them some details, they check your ID, you pay and leave.

Not to spook you or anything but my dispatch email from MS with tracking number has all my details correct but according to Ups the address on my package is incomplete and no eircode. It seems MS and UPS don't know how to communicate an address. Depends on where you live but without a postcode there's slim chance of it getting to where I am

I am in Dublin, so if the only thing that is missing is the postcode, I should be ok.

Definitely weird that they have the wrong address on the package but its correct on there system. Well hopefully everything works out for us both.

i'm part of the Saturday Tamworth group and it has now updated to 'out for delivery' since 7.30am in Swords.

I'm in Dunshaughlin and have yet to get an email/call/text from UPS about delivery. I really hope it gets to me today and that there are no problems. I'll bring the phone with me everywhere today just incase it rings.

Yea I'd like to know this too

ShockChance

I didn't order this at all. Is it worth trying to reserve now in the likes of Argos, currys or smyths.
i don't mind waiting a few weeks.

Mine is out for delivery in Cork this morning from the 8:31 am Sat shipment, be interesting to see if the driver can find the house with part of the address missing and wrong eircode though!

I collected mine earlier from GS, I was the only person there at the time. Very much straight forward. I was given a 8:30 time slot, last week and just arrived, stood outside the door, one staff member checked my name on the list and the other one put my console through the system. That was it, over and done with in about 5 minutes.

How did you receive your time slot?

I ordered on launch morning and I haven't heard a thing from them...I tried to connect to their customer services but didn't get a response. Not that bothered but they have a sizeable deposit of mine at the same time.

Sorry for the lateness replying, I went away from the computer last night and just seeing this now.

I'm in Co. Limerick, and very rural.

I hope you've had a delivery by now?

I got a call about two weeks ago to arrange any outstanding payment and to allocate my time slot. GS Waterford.

Mine was in Dublin at 3am this morning and out for delivery in Cork since 8am.
They would need my Eircode to find my house but the UPS guy should know where it is by now


On a side note if i ever get into power in this country the front page story would be "El Presidente for life sends 5 garda cars in emergency run to pick up his new xbox overnight, best regards on your new console Mr President!, yours sincerely, the only newspaper" :pac:

Just got my collection email from Harvey Norman.

Nice one thanks, heading to Blanch next week to grab the PS5, hopefully will be a similar experience.

I just reserved one in Argos in Blanch. I requested a text message, but only got an email. They didn't say how long they'll hold it for either?

I was in that batch and it just arrived. Tracking never changed from arrived in Dublin before it was delivered. So looks like this batch are now out on the vans anyway.
