I think alot got them for digital version no? Thought most who were waiting was disc version?

There were 1-2 people who got disc also. I have a feeling they are all shipped just tracking not sent to everyone. Those who got them said their tracking said it was dispatched early in the morning and they only got shipping mails in the evening.

Got the email and text for swords at about 9.20pm. No money taken yet, but BOI cc is never real time.

Cant believe people are willing to actually pay 900 for them

Confirmation email, money taken. It says they will need identification such as driving license or passport.. I have neither 🀠I have a Garda age card do you think that will be accepted?

Got an email from Game earlier today saying that Yodel are not expecting to deliver all packages on time, so would imagine it would be early next week when it gets here from PM

Just got text and email now.

They are possibly submitting requests to bank in a batch that is taking a while for each payment confirmation which would explain why there is such a gap between people receiving notifications.

Give it a while. It'll update. As someone else mentioned it's happening exactly as Smyths said it would. DPD are obviously handling quite a lot so will get to it.

The only thing confusing about that collection email is that the opening hours say 9 but their update is 8am

Likely unable to create a private email just for PS5 people so I'll assume 8am. I'll be there anyway around 8:30

Just reread their PS5 specific email from last week and definitely says 8am on launch day. As you say, the collection one tonight is a generic ‘collection is ready’ email, got it before myself lots of times, so they probably weren’t going to change it for one product.

Either I get it at 8 or freeze parts of myself off for an hour. Meh

Did I see somewhere that Smyths was opening at 8am? DId I dream this?

No email or text still nervous

Don't worry man I'm sure it'll come through. I got accessories confirmed after 10pm last week.

So for those of us who are with DPD from Smyths. When do we expect the next update? The morning?

Downlinz

I've had pre-order confirmations from Smyths for C&C as late as 11:30pm before so it's nothing to worry about, though some of us may be waiting a while yet!

Okay, happen anyone else?

Got a bank app notification:

"Transaction received, touch to retrieve and apply a status."

I clicked it straight away and app gave message

"SCA notification has timed out and cannot be used". I can see a swipe to approve behind it but it disappears when i click off the message. Uh oh.

I'm in same boat. Not gonna start worrying till morning at least, hopefully be an update by then

It is interesting reading the tweets and helpful replies from Harvey Norman Reps. Same stupid questions though "Is it online only?" and somebody asking Bandon(or something) and being told the store may have stock but you've to order online and judging by her reply that woman is likely going to turn up at the store trying to buy one anyway.

The most interesting bit is polite questions and polite answers FOR NOW. Tomorrow they will be nasty as anything. Like facebook competitions, all nice people "oh like and share, luv dis 4 me fella, he's has a hard yeer" and when they don't win "bet it went to the owners cousin, nathin but snakes hun"

Remember when Smyths website went doolally on the second wave(I got lucky) and I just kept refreshing Twitter. It was like Ticketmaster took over the sale of the PS5s the reaction people had.

I've to play the server wars tomorrow again to order a family member one.

Call your bank, sounds like Smyths are trying to take the money and it's not being approved.

Nothing from gamestop or smyths where the f is my ps5 email just say I got it plssssssssssss

Zero-Cool

Bank said they can see the charge from smyths for 499, it was approved and money taken off the card but it mightn't show up on my online account yet.

So, just waiting from an email from smyths but the whole thing is looking dodgy
