Happenstance Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Just got an email from Amazon confirming release day delivery 2
Julius Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 5 minutes ago, Happenstance said: Just got an email from Amazon confirming release day delivery Heck yeah! Fingers crossed it's all smooth from here, I know they had some issues with one or two of their Xbox deliveries last week, but I think that just comes with the territory, and hopefully they've got any of those kinks knocked out! Don't imagine I'll be getting another update from GAME until Wednesday when it ships, and then it's onto waiting from Yodel. It's weird because I've only historically heard bad things about them, and not had great experiences with them myself, but apparently they were pretty solid last week for Very in delivering the Series X | S. Everything is crossed. This week is going to be weird, when I don't think about it, it's going fast with work...and when I get excited, it's another three whole days! Managed to agree with my manager to finish nearly an hour and a half on Thursday after staying over and doing some extra work last week, so hopefully it shows up around lunch for me to set it up and I can jump on soon after. If not, oh well, I'll just have to distract myself with a film or something, otherwise I'll be waiting by my machine for a few hours!
Ganepark32 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Got my email from Amazon confirming release day delivery too though its been saying that since I ordered. 3 days to go and this is pretty much me right now: I'm excited but more for just making sure I get the thing on launch day as its not something that I'm just sitting waiting on getting delayed. Only ever pre-ordered consoles in store so a new and anxious experience waiting for it to be delivered. Reading some of what's being said o ResetEra though about the console downloading the PS4 versions of games and having to be factory reset to even download the PS5 versions and such has me a bit apprehensive but hopefully there's a firmware update for the console to sort those issues out. Likewise for games as there seems to be quite a bit of crash reports for pretty much all games so far. Still, roll on Thursday. Can't wait to play Astro, AC Valhalla and The Pathless. 1
Julius Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) First firmware update has rolled out, hopefully fixing some of the issues users were having over in the States and elsewhere ahead of our launch on Thursday. Quote Version: 20.02-02.25.00 This system software update improves system performance. First time I've ever been happy to see a stability update Edited November 17, 2020 by Julius
Sheikah Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 2 more sleeps! Good to hear about the firmware update, sounds like we are probably benefiting from getting the console a week later. I've been hearing about some save bugs in Ubisoft's recent games too so hopefully they'll be close to having a patch by the time I come to play AC Valhalla. 1
Jimbob Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Hopefully that firmware update solves the rest mode, LAN and external drive issues that have been affecting users in the states. 1
Will Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Good to hear you guys are getting confirmations for launch day delivery. Hopefully Amazon Singapore does the same tomorrow. 1
drahkon Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 According to Amazon.de my console has been dispatched and is estimated to arrive on Thursday. Didn't get a confirmation email and I haven't been charged for the money I still have to pay, so I'm just cautiously optimistic. 1
drahkon Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 And there's the confirmation via email. Expected delivery: Tomorrow between 1pm and 11pm. Will be at the lab until at least 6pm, though, but thankfully my flatmate will be at home to accept the parcel if I'm not there 3
Will Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 No confirmation for me yet but my order page has updated so I can’t change anything on the order anymore - getting hopeful it’s coming day one! 1
Julius Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Just woke up to my dispatch confirmation too, should apparently get an email or text with my 2 hour delivery window tomorrow! Next 36 hours are going to be crazy, hope everything goes smoothly for everyone! We're nearly there! Edited November 18, 2020 by Julius 2
Will Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 I’ve been charged for it! Woohoo! Very happy I’ll be there on the first day. 2
Map Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah mine shipped late last night, wonder if it will turn up today? 2
Ganepark32 Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 My accounts been charged this morning too should get a dispatch email from Amazon later today but looks like I'll definitely be here tomorrow yay!!! Amazon seem to do 2 delivery windows up my area, one up to about midday and then from midday onwards. I can only hope for an early delivery but really it could come at any point up. Still very happy that it'll be here tomorrow and can't wait to get my hands on the Dualsense and see what its all about with Astro, Bugsnax, AC Valhalla and The Pathless. 3
Will Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 I also just got told that my copies of AC and Watchdogs are waiting for me in the office. Either need to pick them up or arrange for a courier to get them for me. Now I’m definitely getting excited!
Julius Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 This is super cool! But the flex is unreal So much for the console war being over I guess Keep finding myself checking my emails every few minutes, despite knowing full well it'd be a surprise for the tracking info to be sent before this evening. But still, so close! 1
Jimbob Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Had a text saying my PS5 is in store for collection tomorrow. 2
Mr-Paul Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Got my dispatch email from Amazon at about 2:30 in the morning. Very exciting! Actually hoping it doesn't turn up too early tomorrow, don't want it staring at me all day while I work. Then I've got a three day weekend to enjoy it! 2
Julius Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) So, Yodel is trending on Twitter in the UK now that a fair number of GAME and Very customers have cottoned on to the fact that has had me concerned for the last week I've made peace with it for the most part, though I'm still annoyed at GAME for their blunder. I didn't see any issues with Yodel when shipping the Series X | S for Very last week, so fingers crossed! Also seen a couple of Amazon UK orders ending up with Hermes? Hopefully those here who ordered with them ended up with Logistics! What's everyone's plans for launch day/weekend? What are you all planning to play? And do any of you have a priority list of games to install? Edited November 18, 2020 by Julius
Happenstance Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 I had the money taken this morning from Amazon but still no dispatch email 😭
V. Amoleo Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Still no despatch email from Amazon for me either. And after last week's Xbox Series X fiasco, I'm not holding much hope out for getting it tomorrow. 1
Will Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Just got my Amazon despatch email confirming it has been sent and will be with me on Friday. Looking forward to the weekend! 2
Julius Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 @Happenstance @V. Amoleo hopefully you guys hear something sooner rather than later! I don't normally receive my dispatch confirmation from Amazon until late in the evening/early hours of the morning, and don't think I've had anything arrive late from then when that's happened (in fact, weirdly, my earlier dispatch emails are the closer calls!). Fingers crossed for you both that you hear back soon and it all goes smoothly 1
Will Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Interestingly the delivery company Amazon have used here are estimating delivery as early as tomorrow for mine. Fingers crossed I get it early.
