Imagine if it had been collection day and the van had carted it away!
Soldato
Were you at home? Didn't she knock on?
Nope. I was stood watching from the minute she pulled up.
Bizarre, but thankfully, disaster averted!

If I see a delivery van pulling up and i am expecting something expensive i would open the door, make sure they see me so that they bring it over to the door. Certainly won't stand there silent inside through a window and watch them put a large parcel in the bin and then put a delivery slip through my door.
Unless the drive is a mile long and the bin is at the end of that with a post box American Style.
Did you just not say anything the whole time? or just busy in the middle of something?

Yeah, why just stand in the house watching the postwoman? Open the door and greet her.
That's not what happened at all. I was just waiting, as I suspect is normal. I couldn't see what she was doing, I didn't know she'd even got out of the van and then she suddenly drove off and I got a notification saying it had been delivered.
Soldato
Yeah but still... You're expecting the parcel. Open the door to greet them.
Often Royal Mail send a different van with larger parcels. Either way it's pretty irrelevant, they shouldn't be putting parcels in bins and not even attempting delivery.
I was waiting for her to at least exit the van before opening the door.
Soldato
Yeah I agree its pretty terrible service to not even bother knocking on. Maybe she knocked on your neighbors door instead, didn't get an answer so dumped it in the bin. She is definitely at fault (assuming you have the correct door number on the delivery note)
This is what I suspect has happened - the address is correct on the package, so she's perhaps misread it and put a slip through the neighbours door...!
The other worry is Very using a basic delivery service for something expensive. Should be DPD or similar.
Anyway, crisis averted! Got to get it all set up now...
Soldato
Enjoy!
Enjoy it, and jump on Astro as your first port of call. It really shows what the controller can do and is great fun
Yeah they clowns. Mine was also delivered by royal mail from very, although they did manage to knock on my door and hand it over.

I imagine there will be compatible with PS5 badges on most of the SSD's going forward.
Wow. I'd say you're pretty lucky to have it at all if that's what she did with it... Where do they find these people...

Does the postie live next door and want a ps5
. Reckon you'd have had a fight on your hands if you'd not checked the bins with it being signed for.

Does anyone have any problems with the beta firmware as got an invite code? Don't know why I got an invite as mine has been switched off for a couple of months

Bit disappointing really (the coverage, that is) as they seemed to focus mainly on PS4 game load times for some reason with only a couple of PS5 games compared (plus R&C in-game performance). Hopefully some more meaningful comparisons and tests are coming in the future.
