Has anyone received a C&C email with provided times from Smyths yet?

Should we expect the Smyth's collection email tonight at ~9pm? Really hope I get it tonight and not tomorrow at like 3pm when I've taken a day off work for it haha

Smyths will process payment around 9pm tonight for click and collect orders.

You'll automatically be sent an email then with your barcode.

I don't think they'll stagger collection times and would expect that everyone will be allowed to turn up from 8am onwards to collect.

There's no provided times. Rock up whenever you want from 8am tomorrow until close of business 3rd December (depending on government restrictions)

In their most recent email to people yes, they are open at 8am tomorrow for this reason.

With release day right around the corner, here's a quick update on your PlayStation 5 Pre-Order.

You will receive a ready for collection email and SMS when your order is ready for collection. Our stores will be open for collection from 8am on launch day - Thursday 19th November.

Can we make 'Smyths wont collect money or email for C&C until 9ish tonight' a sticky?
So many repeats on both threads today

I assume they'll be collected later today/tonight for delivery tomorrow.

Same for me. Judging by the email it will be today at some point... then we gotta hope DPD can get it delivered tomorrow

To be fair everything's repeated. I know everyone's excited/worried but probably be easier to see status updates if not for the constant "nothing yet" posts On both threads.

Here is an idea for a Sticky for those going to Gamestop and Smyths tomorrow:

Bring your DAMN ID!!!
Bring your DAMN E-mail!

I swear, If I get stuck behind somebody arguing and moaning about having to go home and get it then a swift punch to the throat is in store for you

No dispatch email at all from Game Stop today.

My order from amazon being delivered to parcel motel says there's a one time password I must give to the delivery driver, anyone know how this works with parcel motel?

Same as this - rang parcel motel and the girl there didn't have a notion what would happen.
Will they deliver this to parcel motel as they wont have the OTP? Will they ring me first? Never had this before.

The couriers delivering to PM and PW deliver there every single day. They know where they are going and will no damn well these guys won't have a password. They, at least Hermes and Yodel, get paid by the number of parcels they deliver so they won't be hanging about.

I doubt it will be an issue but would concern me as well. No way PW/PM are going to reject all those orders either.

In the West and no email or change of status on Amazon's order page. Ordered on the 17th

dan786

For Amazon orders - they are not sending out dispatch emails for hours after the initial dispatch. Mine was actually dispatched at 1am and only got the email at 11am. Go to your account click track order that will tell you whats happening.

Grumpypants

Still no update from DHL regrading the Game.co.uk order. I've seen a thread on Reddit talking about it, few mentioned that DHL just text to say they would have it Friday. So if it only gets to PM on Friday it will likely be Sat or Monday before it gets down to me.

Starting to get SLIGHTLY nervous about the Smyths/DPD situation now, but it will probably be fine. It'd be a shame if they messed up by handing them over too late after having tracking links etc ready so early

It's very possible that they were spooked by the reports of early deliveries of their consoles and wanted to be extra safe by leaving til the last minute. Sony wouldn't look too kindly at the breaking of street dates.

I wouldn't be too concerned with the tracking updates (or lack of). Lately with An Post it doesn't update till the morning of delivery. Ye'll be grand.

Relax, I've had many a Craft Central order go out at 6pm and arrive next day. They work overnight to get your beer PS5 to you.

shrewdness

Relax on the DPD situation lads, in all likelihood it'll be updated this evening, ready for delivery tomorrow. I think some of us seen the reports of a few being delivered early, and are now disappointed that wasn't happening for everyone! But Smyths have been very clear through the whole process, and reiterated today that they'd be delivered on time for launch.

Now if it goes past midnight tonight and still no change, maybe get a little worried then!

Does anyone know if the Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones will work with the PS5?

Thanks,

Same with my Sony WH-XB900N pair - looks like even Sony's BT headphones will not work with PS5. But it was the same with PS4 - they restrict it heavily not only to control sales, but also for quality - only custom for gaming headsets are allowed to prevent poor experiences with sound latency. Slight latency isn't always consciously noticeable, but hits that uncanny valley where it feels off.
