The 2 Irish lads who said they got it from Smyths both had Digital versions delivered. Payment for them was taken first so I reckon they slipped out ahead

Can confirm same. My friend that got it was the only 1 of the 3 who bought a digital one.

I also have a digital pre-ordered and mine is the same as everyone else on this forum "order data received from sender". Again I'm not saying it's bs they've got theirs it's just strange

Last week for my Xbox they didn’t ship it to late Monday night, didn’t get the Xbox on to Thursday from an post,

However have my ps5 on pre order from Amazon so god only knows when I might get it ha

I reckon people will be receiving them from Wednesday onward. My preordered games often arrive a day early as well.

My DPD tracking hasn't updated since Sunday. At this stage I think rioting is the only reasonable option.

DrZeuss

Same here, no update.
I have another DPD delivery today so no hope of today for the PS5....back to mashing F5 later today it is :pac:

If they collect from Smyths today, delivery should be tomorrow. Hopefully....

It's not that I don't believe you, I do, but it's just strange that Smyths would sent out a few of the preorders early and leave the majority in their warehouse. Personally I'm happy that mine hasn't been sent out cause I'll be working next few days so there would be no one home to answer the door but I'm off from Thursday so I can wait to binge

My friend has his also. From Smyths, and delivered from DPD. Smyths appear to be splitting the couriers, I imagine due to vast demand.

My original payment method expired and they gave me 24 hours to update it so not sure if that delayed me in any way.

Nah mine still says the same. Got the link on Monday

Gamestop charged my card on Saturday the 14th (after a mild heart attack that the bank may have blocked the transaction) but i haven't received any text / email with a delivery / dispatch details.

The comms from Gamestop is very poor. Every official comms says email customer service but that response times are long due to high demand. As other people have said, they knew this was coming for months, why not have the people in place to deal with this. I know its such a first world problem (especially during a global pandemic) but everyone wants their console on lunch day, especially when it was pre ordered weeks in advance and paid for in full. That's the whole point of pre ordering....

Exactly. There were a number of ways they could have gone about it. Jesus, its ridiculous that a multi national company like this are so poor. They've destroyed what little faith customers had in them

I keep hoping for that email to come which says Sony are providing more PS5s and I will be getting a lauch day PS5 after all, but it's getting more and more unlikely.

HolyMackerel

This week of waiting feels longer than the entire pandemic.

And it's only Tuesday.

Probably not launch day, but reading through the thread it looks like a few places(Amazon, Currys, Harvey Norman) that will have a limited number on Launch day. Be worth having a look and getting setup to order, with any luck you could have one soon enough!

Smyths tracker from DPD still the same

I guess they are sticking to their word and not starting shipping the PS5's till tomorrow at the earliest.

The few people who claim to have received PS5's several days before shipping begins could well be employee's of Smyths or other retail services.

Interesting. Gamestop have my ETA as December 27th. If I can get a PS5 elsewhere I'll ditch them.

Still feel a bit sour the NA region got enough PS5s to fulfil all the pre-orders and more to send out at launch day. I feel like Sony should've honoured all the pre-orders first before letting any out into the wild.

I wouldn't say the couriers give a rats arse what the street date of these things are. If they receive them they'll send them out. They aren't in the business of holding stuff. The ones who's order status hasn't changed its most likely because Smyths still have it. Probably sent out in waves.

that's why I find it hard to believe some couriers got them as early as last week and started shipping a few consoles over the past few days when the vast majority if not all the ps5's are currently still with Smyths and won't be in the hands of DPD till tomorrow. As you say any courier wouldn't just hold onto 1000's of PS5 shipments for several days.

Thought i heard the postman, ran to my window to check but he wasn't stopping at my house

I wouldn't worry. The majority of us have that message on the DPD website. I've had it since Saturday or so.
