The Series X|S launch had some go live at 8am on the day of release. I've no idea what stock looks like anywhere, but I believe similar is scheduled to happen on the 19th here.

I've heard that Amazon will be putting stock up at noon.
I was keeping quiet about that but I've also heard amazon are opening stock back up on the 19th.
I'll be here with a referral link at 11:59

They did a rebrand a while back and I think dumped the catalogue off in favour of online only. It's the same business in the same warehouse just under a different banner.
oof.
Although they do have more stock for online tomorrow at 9am.
Yeah, I'm hoping to grab one.
Amazon is my preference as I've got a load of gift voucher credit sat on there, but it sounds like they'll make it available later in the day so it'll be the backup option if nothing's doing earlier in the morning.
Great start. "Estimated queue time is over an hour."
The adaptive trigger hype is real.
Argos out, Game is fucked. It's all on Amazon now.
I got one from Currys earlier but apparently it wasn't supposed to be available and they're all getting cancelled, smooth release day
Frig it. I have to log in for work and the queue hasn't budged. Game's site died from the traffic, it seems.
You should buy @Shindig a digital edition with your dirty profits.
Who the hell is still clicking on Baz links?
Well, that was a wasted morning. I'll get one when I get one.
The PS5 adaptive triggers are crazy. I'm playing 2k21 and when my players are low on stamina the triggers are rock solid.
Well today has up and down. It worked out that my PS5 and 4k monitor were to be delivered today so almost like my christmas. One from DPD and one Yodel. I knew the PS5 would be Yodel from the day I ordered it so was sure something would go wrong.
Got my time slot from DPD of 13:50 to 14:50 and was towards the back of the drivers run on my Yodel page. You can't follow the DPD guys, but the time slot makes up for it. You can however get real time updates of the Yodel guy. Well I'd essentially stalked him to the point were there was less than 5 deliveries away as I saw the DPD van pull up.
Got my monitor(still in the box now) and after I'd put it out of reach of little hands refreshed and saw the Yodel guy was on the next street over and had 2 to go until me. So I went to the living room window which overlooks the cul-de-sac so I can see all who come down. Got nothing for about 10 mins so I refreshed my page.
I got the dreaded "sorry we missed you" message. The guy made zero attempt to deliver to my address and I've no card or anything. And I definitely would have seen him anyway. Despite furious phone call(s) to Yodel nothing has turned up and now I get to go through it again tomorrow.
It's not the end of the world(so long as it comes tomorrow), but the principle of the thing. He was in the very next street, so to me that smacks of never having it on the van in the first place. Or else why not simply pop around the corner?
My biggest concern now is like I've seen on Twitter if it "goes missing" at the depot, I'm fucked. The company can't just send out a new one because there aren't any.
Maybe his shift ended.

Back when they were known as Home Delivery Network, I had a laptop that never left the van ... which never left the depot.
It was 2:15 he reported it "as missed" and I was in the 60's of his 100 or so deliveries. I'm sure it just wasn't on the van.
Now I get to play that game again tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 2:16 when it happens again:

I enjoyed the story where loads of them were being nicked because Sony said it must be delivered with no outer packaging to anonymise it.
I haven't played much of it but Astro's Playroom is surprisingly good.
My driver has 120 deliveries today and I'm #86. Judging by how fast he's going so far it should be around the same time again today.
Last night gave me time to get the 4k monitor out now and get my desk ready for it though, so swings and roundabouts.
I think my Currys order avoided the cull as I got an email saying it was being prepared for despatch yesterday, although it's gone from order confirmed to order received on their site so fuck knows.
By the sounds of it, all the other guys working on Playstation Country got theirs. One of them landed a copy of WRC and he's, shock horror, surprised by the haptic feedback.
Got mine delivered about 4. Box was pretty beat up as well as the box for the extra controller. Now to get the endless updates and installations out the way and I'm good to go.
Everything set up at the desk(it's a big boy) and thankfully it all works despite the box being a bit battered. Updates are finished, but now just waiting on the downloads of the PS+ stuff I've picked out. I've got some backlog on the blue side so I need to get cracking really.
God of War
Horizon: Zero Dawn
The Last of Us
Spider-Man
Those to choose from to start with. I also need to add in Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2 and maybe Ghost of Tsushima to my collection at some point. I'm kind of glad there isn't anything big, bar Cyberpunk, in the very near future as I reckon that could well be a good 2/3 months of my time at least, just catching up.
Now to decide which game to start on tomorrow.
Saw a video of the UI.
lol. CEX are paying £600 for them fwiw.

Might as well post usernames just in case we have any new PS players.
Mine is, Mahow.
Original I know.

@Mike, get these in the OP.
alagemo is mine
Currys came through this morning, and as it was DPD delivering I got a console rather than an industrial sized bag of rice. The haptic triggers on the controller already feels like a big step up, I think the loading times will be the other once I've actually got past it copying and downloading files
Lofty132.
How's everyone getting on with theirs? Enjoying mine, though I had a weird thing while the wife was playing Bugsnax where the control just decided it wasn't working anymore but was still powered on. Swapped it out for the one on charge and both been fine since, not sure what that was.
Maybe it was paired with something else?
Ubisoft have FINALLY tweeted about UK peeps not being able to upgrade their PS4 versions of games. It only took them 11 days to acknowledge the problem.
The only spot of trouble I've found with my console is that it wont download updates for my PS4 games on my external HDD.
Keeps saying "Can't download or copy".
I bought PS4 Watch Dogs on the cheap just for the upgrade which luckily appeared as soon as I popped the disc in. Shame it's a bit rubbish but it does look nice
Watching the stock vanish today has been quite depressing. Game had some in, bundled them in weird ways and they were gone in 10 minutes. Shopto have some on back order but there's a 50,000 strong queue. Amazon had some that were taken immediately. CeX has them in but they're charging £815.
