Have Amazon taken money from anyone yet - presume they will take it tomorrow for shipping on Wednesday?

None taken for mine from Amazon.de

I'm thinking it's a good thing, I've had issues with Amazon in the past at busy periods like Christmas where they authorise the card because they are preparing it for shipping, then they don't prepare it for whatever reason for another day or 2 and the status reverts back from preparing to dispatch to just showing an estimated delivery date again... then they authorise the card again leaving the first amount pending for a few days. That could cause problems for high value items because a lot of people wouldn't have an extra €500 in their bank if the first transaction was put on hold!

If your preorder arrives early then just leave it in the box until Thursday. It's not fair on those of us with click and collect orders if you open it beforehand.

Actually leave it in til Saturday to make sure we've all had time to pick them up first.

I'm going to head to Smyths now where my click n collect order should be and go full Kevin on them and demand it right this instant.

box.co.uk (where I preordered), scan.co.uk and I think a couple of others seemed to do the exact same thing. Their preorders were open for about an hour, a lot longer than other websites, and they are computer sites that don't traditionally get a lot of stock for consoles.

Box are acting the same way, very vague, won't give out any information, sent the "first wave" and "sorry" emails at 5:30pm on a Friday evening when support was closed. The "second wave" is apparently around the 9th December for them, but I wouldn't trust either company to have enough stock for everyone until wave 5 or 6 at least.

I could be wrong, hopefully I am, but that also seems to be the general consensus on Twitter.

Same, looks like the bulk of Smyths PS5's are sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to give DPD the green light to collect.

Hopefully that will be earlier than Wednesday as they said in their email

Yeah I'm starting to think same. I'm gonna keep looking anyway and keep my place in queue. If I can pick one up in Ireland is better tbh. Hopefully refund process will be smooth

I actually had a preorder with Scan before I got one with Box. The refund request was processed the day after I sent it, and I had the money back about 5 days later. No hassle at all. They are a very trusted website, just not good with console launches.

Yeah, my plan is pretty much the same, I'll try the few possible places on Thursday, and then just wait and see what happens in early December.

I got the gamestop email last week and sorted out the ps5 delivery. Never received one for the extra controller I've paid off. Anybody in the same boat?

I'm still waiting to hear how I will collect from one of the click and collect stores. So frustrating. Been waiting two weeks on the "call"

I got my "voucher" for accessories last week, I'd be on to them about that if I were you

There are a good few of us on here and it's a small enough country. I'm sure if we pull together we can figure out where the warehouse is :pac:

Anything in regard to gamestop delivery anyone for the PS5 console?

delivery from DPD arrived with my copies of Demon Souls and Spiderman, hopefully the PS5 will arrive on Wednesday or Thursday, Friday at the latest.

Not yet, I'd hope it ships tonight to ensure delivery for Thursday. I had Controller and game shipped at 8pm last Tuesday. Controller arrived Friday, game arrived this morning.

Sounds like a plan, I need to go out anyway the F5 button on my keyboard is acting up so need to replace

Could really do with it arriving early, my wife is working nights until Friday, I'd have full control of the TV every evening all week!

Did this come in as an email? Obviously two of you posted it so I don't doubt it, but I'm on the watchlist and got nothing and last I checked chat support had no information.

Yes was emailed. Will sell out quick though as its been posted on UK sites also so there will be thousands ready at lunch time to grab one

Yeah it came from the proper order-update@amazon.co.uk address.

I wonder if they only sent it to people on watchlist from very early on. A few places to keep an eye on anyway, so there's at least some hope. I wish they did a prime early access on it.
