Just for anyone worried about the lack of movement from Smyths/DPD tracking, this was from a delivery earlier in the week so I'd say we are 99% on for tomorrow

For those waiting on Smyths emails and texts, it wouldn't surprise me if they are staggering the collects in certain branches. Collect messages can go out anytime up to 3pm usually in a business day for same day collect, and given Smyths won't entertain anyone without a collection mail right now, they are probably trying to avoid a crush in the morning.
Most console launch mornings can be overwhelming, with most enthusiastic preorder customers availing of the hours not long after opening......nothing to stop them sending out messages for the afternoon period.
If someone was expecting a text for tomorrow, and its not there first thing in the morning, I'd advise them not to travel down to their branch.

Smyths aren't staggering collection times.

If you haven't a mail by opening time and you've one preordered, something has gone wrong.

It would be utterly appalling customer service to suddenly stay silent for half of release day to customers who've preordered without advising in advance leaving them to panic. It's not happening.

If you've no message, by all means don't attend but call your branch at 9am.

And now I have that Konica song stuck in my head

I'd say if no mail or anything from Smyths, double check your order to be sure it's still showing. You should still have the Preorder confirmation mail with the link

Same here no email still

Still no sign of a dispatch email from GameStop, guess I’ll just have to hope something happens overnight.
If it’s delayed five, but the lack of any communication is just annoying now.

Either way it’s the last time I buy from that company...

checked Amazon there, only deliver to UK, 9 available from 650 pound, refreshed the screen 6 available from 999 pound haha.

PS4 wasn't manufactured in the middle of a pandemic. Demand is also hugely increased when compared to the PS4 launch.
