It differs for me on web vs in the app. Viewing the order details on the app says 19th November by 9pm, web just says 19th November.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get one and it cheers you up!
This freakydeals.co.uk got to because scam, it the last two days they opened pre-orders twice again, highly doubt such a small player would get continously stocked like this. Will keep the pre-order so that I can review bomb them and have proof, so that Trustpilot, Google etc accept my review.
That's the pattern I noticed this past few days, as per their claim, usually retail shops won't deal directly with brands, it's via distributors so their claim checks out, still their volume thus far seems sketchy at best.
The Company was created late last year and operated from that apartment, there's two directors, they apparently used to be on ebay too, can't seem to find them there anymore.
Good reviews on Trustpilot, but those can be faked easily. I hope to set that record straight come the 19th. :)
Still holding hope that Sony can deliver another shipment in December and I get lucky.
Being trying to get one for the gf's bro see they have put up another 2 will stick an order in through PayPal and see if it turns up! Fingers crossed!
And if not, let's hope PayPal returns our money
Let's hope we get lucky!
I call bullshit. Just try buying any of their other items.
Everything on their site is out of stock because those items need to be shipped now. Where as PS5 they can wait for the PayPal hold to go and bail off with the money.
I literally just checked most the items on their site and it's out of stock. I don't get why people are falling for the most obvious scam. I don't want to see people getting scammed.
How can a site have PS5s available to preorder, but all their other stock is out of stock. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
It's a good question. I asked in Game today, where I have mine pre-ordered (and paid £10 deposit), and they didn't seem to know what would happen. To be fair, it was before the lockdown was officially announced by Doris.
In the UK here and am paying for my initial next-gen apathy - PS5 preorders seem non-existent at the moment.
I'll keep an eye out but I'm not confident.

Keep an eye in a week - 10 days. Lot's of unfortunate folks won't have money to pay their pre-order so some will presumably hit the market.
It's going to be a very tough time for people, no doubt. I expect some orders to free up in the coming weeks.
Anyone know any sites they think are particularly worth keeping tabs on?
They've got games in stock like the new watch dogs, for example
In the UK? Don't know but in Ireland I'd keep an eye on Currys, Harvey Norman and Smyths.
Amazon and game centric stores will be gone instantly
I'd say all the usual suspects I guess. I'll be doing the same, may even try the bot alert stuff circling on reddit.

"Non-essential retail can remain open for delivery to customers and click-and-collect."
So should hopefully be alright to deliver in UK.

So given what was announced today, are we somewhat certain online orders from ShopTo, Game, Amazon etc will be ok for us in the U.K.?
So it's safe to assume the warehouses will remain open for said companies?
Yes, where workers cannot work from home they still have to go to work. As long as their employers operate in a covid secure way then nothing changes for these companies except perhaps for office workers.
Guessing by this point theres absolutely nowhere in the Uk i could pre order a console, espcially now with lockdown coming into effect?
Your best bet is probably on the 19th. I assume between cancelled preorders and withheld stock, there'll be a decent number of next gen consoles available to buy at launch - especially now that shops won't be open to sell any themselves.
After the 19th I'd be surprised if there was any stock in the country for a while.
edit ;; My bad got them mixed up. 😅
As the above says, probably not gonna get it before the 19th. You and me are in the same boat, I'm gonna be scouring the net on the 19th for one lol.
Thought so haha. My local Game is in a pretty small (and not a well off area) and usually I get lucky with games or consoles that sell out everywhere. My plan was to just go on the day and grab one, but BoJo saw to that haha. Will just have to be extra keen to watch out for drops
Yes. Hypothetically speaking, say a warehouse is hit with a coronavirus outbreak it could lead to being short staffed and potential delays with shipping the consoles.
Use Stockinformer, they'll give online alerts when stores get them back in stock.
You'll have to go in store, but I'm betting Tesco super stores will have a decent chunk of them from Saturday or Sunday after launch. They were the first to go live with pre orders after the event and they didn't even take card details. Just shoved in details to pick up in store.
Game have been putting up cancellations daily on their website. It's how I managed to order one last week. So check there. Feel like a right dick for cancelling it though was the right decision for me (need to save for house deposit).
It will be worth it in the end. I bought a house a month ago and it was a great decision. You can just get the ps5 when it is cheaper and has more games.
Earlier in the morning?
You'll need to wait until the night before and DPD will email you. You can either do it from the email or do it from the DPD app. It should give the option there to move it to before 10am on the day of delivery.
Argos were smart to have all PS5 orders handled by CentreSoft. Argos were only involved in the ordering and payment process which is why in store collection was not an option for anyone. Consoles will be shipped directly by the distributor.
I originally bought from Argos because I thought their delivery vans would be a reliable way to get the console on release day, but letting a private company which the public have no access to handle all orders seems a smart way to handle things in this Covid dominated world.

Damn, you have to be so quick! Trying to help get one for a friend but just too difficult if you aren't looking 24/7!
Yeah Fnac is one of the few delivering in Portugal on the 19th
Still no luck on another ps5 in uk. I was hoping to maybe get a bundle on launch the ones most dont want but with fucking lockdown looks like I'm screwed.
Was going to check the status of my in-store GAME pre-order, but their website is bust again.
Guess it will take a while for them to figure out what they're doing; hopefully in the next week or so it will be clear whether they will do click & collect or convert to delivery.

At least with Xbox releasing first we can see how retailers handle preorders. It will be interesting if any despatch a day or two earlier for example.
I've pre ordered in store. I think they are saying to make sure your contact details are up to date on the app and they will be in contact over the next few days to sort it.
Smyths in the UK said they're doing click and collect from their stores for the PS5 et al.
For anyone who has preordered online for collection in store, Smyths will charge your card up to 48h before release date, and you just turn up and pick it up on 19 November.
For anyone who has preordered in store for collection in store, you must pay the balance by card (only by card) when you collect it on 19 November.
Please note: because the games and accessories are releasing a week earlier than the console in the UK, you must ask them to hold your games/accessories for a week if you want to pick them all up together on 19 November. (I asked them this specifically just now. If you don't ask them to hold the games/accessories for another week, they may cancel them.)

Just to double check with the chaos going on, has anyone received any further emails or anything for online GAME orders since preorder, other than the initial confirmation? I managed to get a preorder in the first wave, but the lack of contact or charges since has me squeemish.
