My better half got one from Argos, about 5mins before they announced they had sold out.

I managed to get one on Amazon at about 0820 this morning, after seeing the post on here.

Pretty bloody happy.

Now to look for the 4k tv.

Richer sounds - there's a thread on here complimenting them....

I have no commercial interest in Richer sounds but recently bought a 4K TV from them and the service was excellent

My friend has just had an email from shop to stating they have had their allocation details from Sony and he will not be receiving his order on release day, he ordered as soon as they went live after the reveal

Did GAME release a second set of pre orders after the first lot sold out or was it just Amazon?

S**t I hope GAME don't do the same for the second run as that is where mine comes from....

Yep, got that very email myself this afternoon.

Oh well. Will still keep the pre-order as I won’t get one any sooner joining a queue elsewhere.

What with the new Nvidia GPU’s being rarer than rocking horse poo too, who’d have thought we’re in the midst of a global pandemic and economic recession.

Has it been confirmed which shops are affected.

I got mine way into day one pre order launch from John Lewis......

I think it's bizzare that shops sold not knowing they could fulfil the order but still willing to take customers money

Apparently it's only Shopto at the moment that are sending the emails out, if you bought from there and haven't had an email then guess you will get it on launch date.
