    Launch Day and no word from DHL. My Game.co.uk order is "somewhere" they shipped it but since Game doesn't provide you a tracking number and DHL haven't sent it I can't track it.

    Best thing I can hope for is Parcel Motel get it at some point today and email me.

    Saw this on Twitter. 194k in a queue for the curry’s website in the UK. Crazy demand.

    Has to be bots. I know people were annoyed with Sony for leaving pre orders to go live with each retailer, but at least that probably meant more consoles got into the hands of fans rather than scalpers.

    No update from DPD (Dublin 6) still travelling through network.


    No comms from GameStop for the brother either, still "confirmed" on the site.

    They never took my money - but I'm PayPal Express, so the funds only come out when the label is applied to the box - or so I am told.

    As said here already - the worst thing is the radio silence - If they were communincating via Social Media, we would know where we stand, but there are many staff working on this around the clock in GS and thye've clearly been told so keep quiet even on general statements on confirmed orders.

    Not yet for me. I'm keeping an eye out for anyone who's says they receive a shipping notification today from GS, as I'd like to know that they are still shipping!

    Did you have to pay outstanding balance online with the vouchers they sent or is yours a store that open?

    It’s got to be a lack of consoles available at this stage, hasn’t it? I genuinely believe they’ve completely f*cked it. And they knew they had from early on hence zero communication of any kind.

    This is my fear - I'm not feeling positive about this at all. If I was told it was coming next week I'd be delighted. But I feel they messed this up and confirmed orders to valued customer base with no concrete Sony deliveries confirmed. If so, this is seriosuly bad.

    I honestly don't think so. I think the system is just slammed. Realistically, it's not hard to assume gamestop would get the lion's share of console allocation as the only primary gaming retailer in the country and I think the pandemic has made cooperation more difficult, there is probably extra precautions handing over to couriers, more difficult time getting staff aligned, who are probably already fatigued over the xbox launch.

    Logically I can see reasons for the problems gamestop have.

    Emotionally I hate their guts for leaving me in the dark :D

    I doubt its its lack of consoles, when they knew exactly how many they were getting they sent out the emails telling everyone who got one and who didnt. I'd say the whole system is jammers with getting them out and delivered. They prob know some will be late and didn't send out emails as the tracking prob wouldn't update for a few days

    My feeling is that if there wasn’t something wrong, they’d be less likely to be hiding on social media/any form of communication

    In any case, if we take here as a smaller demographic of the metric, Smyths seems just as populated with orders as GameStop.
