I mean, with Hermes you might get it tomorrow, but you're equally likely to receive it in 3 pieces.

I will hold my laughter until I know how mine is being delivered

I've seen a fair number of PS5 for sale on FB Marketplaces near me. I'd love to know how they got them so early. They are 'in hand' not pre orders.

You know those people who receive blocks of cheese in the boxes instead of the goods they ordered? Well....

I shouldn't laugh but I did. Poor sod.

So I just added up the games I'll be downloading initially...

days gone 67GB
god of war 45GB
uncharted 4 63GB
batman arkham knight 45GB
horizon zero dawn 45GB
spiderman 105GB

That's a mere 370GB for 7 games, should keep me going for a fair while!

More concerning, on my current 18Mbps download speed, that's 6 full overnight download sessions of 8 hours.

Uk internet to crash this Thursday then

 

[RedStarRiot]

My copy of Mortal Kombat 11 has been dispatched but no console as of yet

 

[Broken Hope]

I have Amazon Prime so not expecting a dispatch till Wednesday, I've had an email saying I'm on track for release date and Amazon have put a pending £0 charge on my card so I guess they are ready on their end.

 

[redrooster303]

Getting that launch day feeling that I had for PS3/4 now. Can't wait to try the pad and see Demon Souls the most.

BT said broadband traffic peaked at 18 terabits per second (Tbps) - equivalent to delivering about 1,510 hours of high-definition video every second.

First and last time this generation.

In all seriousness, the ISP's report that they have the capacity to deal with this amount of data, but will the servers at the other end? I wasn't on for launch day Xbox but they've appeared to cope well outside of one or two hiccups. Hopefully, it'll be the same come thursday.

This will be your delivery card - note the date

 

[Mobius 1]

Just wish Amazon would use DHL or something for expensive items like this. I’d even pay the £6 delivery no hesitation

 

[Bigpig]

God I hope mines coming by Amazon themselves. I still haven't picked any game up yet eek

My series x was delivered by amazon so I'm hoping it will be the same for the ps5.

 

[Phemo]

On the flip side I really hope Amazon Logistics do not deliver mine They messed up with my Series X and that arrived the day after launch since for some reason it got stuck at Milton Keynes for the evening.
