Mine comes tomorrow from John Lewis via DPD and I can’t wait either. I feel like a teenager again! :lol:

Anyone planning to get a new TV with HDMI 2.1 for the PS5? Hoping there will be some good deals during Black Friday or towards the end of the year / January.

I want to see the PS5 in all its glory, especially when playing Demon Souls.
Get the LG CX edition.

I can't afford it right now, but I've got my eye on the LG OLED CX as the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
It seems a lot of people recommend the LG CX model, 2 on the Cafe alone!

It’s on my watchlist, hopefully I can find a good deal on it.

I dare not post this in the PS5 vs Xbox thread but Digital Foundry just did a comparison.

Performs the same for the most part, but during certain scenes and gameplay the PS5 can perform up to 15% better.

Both of the premium next generation consoles also use a dynamic resolution scaling system. The lowest measured pixel count is 1440p (67 per cent of native 4K on either axis) while the maximum is 1728p (80 per cent native) and in almost all scenarios
However, the key takeaway is that PlayStation 5 is much closer to the 60fps target more of the time, while Xbox Series X can struggle. In fact, at its worst, we noted PS5 delivering a 15 per cent performance advantage over its Microsoft equivalent in identical scenarios
Series X|S Are Buggier than PS5: Beyond performance matters, it's pretty clear that Assassin's Creed Valhalla still needs a lot of work - especially on Xbox platforms. We encountered plenty of bugs playing this game: in addition to some weird performance bottlenecks on Series consoles, we also noted that camera motion doesn't update with a linear relationship to frame-rate during cutscenes, meaning some ugly looking stutter even with the engine actually running flat-out at 60fps (PS5 is fine here)

No notifications from Amazon, but order status now says dispatched!

If tracking ID starts with a Q, does that mean it's being delivered by Amazon logistics?
Mines begins with a Q and saying it will be delivered by Amazon

That's actually surprising. I thought by all accounts the series X was the more powerful machine.

I've never even bought a console at launch and wasn't planning to this time either but everyone else seemed to be getting one and I didn't want to be left out so here I am, a FOMO cnut.

I'm a staunch Playstation loyalist having release day PS3 & PS4. I worked nights two times this year and both were the morning the pre orders came out so I missed them :mad:. I've lost all claim to being a topfan.

Rather be a FOMO cnut than just a cnut without a PS5

If your order is through GAME and Yodel is your courier check your e-mail and you're likely to have received the following GAME)

From Reddit

Just had an email saying that YODEL will not be able to deliver all PS5's by release date and some of us may have to wait till YODEL are able to deliver.

DHL picked up my one from GAME. Worst thing is GAME are charging everyone for delivery too unlike the rest.

GAME just emailed, looks my order might actually get dispatched today! Don’t think I’ll get it till Friday though.

So disappointing that we don't even have a release date for PS5. XSX is also out of stock. No holiday shopping this year then.

Yeah I got the same. Absolute cnuts.
Same here, but a few people on Reddit have spoken to Yodel live chat and managed to get their tracking number from them directly. I've just spoken to them and my parcel is still estimated to be delivered by tomorrow, so fingers crossed!

I think DPD saw the amount of PS5s they were supposed to deliver for GAME and probably said we ain’t touching that because only in the last week they informed everyone it is Yodel or DHL.

@Bojan11 Do you have any idea which stores are meant to be opening at 12 tonight? I can only see some mentioning the morning but I guess I could stay up and see.

Times I know are Amazon 12pm, Tesco 8am and Currys at 9am.

John Lewis said early morning. Smyths, Very and GAME could be midnight or 8am. Argos won’t have any stock.

Just got off chat with Yodel, got my tracking number and it looks like I will get the console tomorrow. I'm sure most, if not all people will to be honest especially if the CEO is unaware.

But the thing is i never paid for delivery, I used free delivery option but it seems like most orders from game despite what option for delivery you picked re-routed into next day tracked from Yodel. Guess I saved myself a tenner.
