        Yes they are the last place on earth i wanted to buy from believe me, but after sinking about 6 hours in to trying to get a console i was ecstatic i even got to order one. Yep well there goes that.

    • +1

      did you experience any below procedures or just got this cancellation only?
      Order being reviewed - order confirmed - order delayed-backordered- order cancelled

    • +1

      did you receive an email confirmation? what time did you place your order?

      • I ordered on the 12th at 3:32pm and received an email saying:

        *"We'll let you know when your order confirmation no. XXXXXXXXX is ready for pickup

        Thanks for your order, XXXX! We'll email you as soon as your order is ready for pickup. Your tax invoice will be emailed separately."*

        When i emailed and asked why my order was refunded i got told:

        "Our sincerest apologies. There must have been an error in our stock that allowed for this order to b placed. There seems that there was no actual stock avaliable. "

        • damn i ordered like an hour before you. My order and my brothers orders havent been cancelled. Thanks really unlucky :/

          • @bigchunguss: Yes after sinking about 6 hours in to trying to place an order only to have it cancelled… to say i'm disappointment would be an understatement.

        • i ordered at 5.32 and my order hasnt been cancelled
          thats so cooked

    I was looking at Fifa 21 Ultimate Edition… 149.95 on PS store, 79.95 at JB

    Glad I went disc edition, going digital edition is crazy

    • +1

      i agree. i feel its justified to spend the extra $150 to get the disc version as you will easily save that over the long run (imo).

      • +1

        not that long. I would have probably saved more than that in two months, if I was able to preorder.

    • +3

      People talk about the digital one as the disc version worked ONLY with disc haha.

  • Now that 99.99999% of the population missed out, what's Plan B?

    • +4

      Big W, target, scalpers, robbery lol

      • +12

        the order of likeliness of getting one before Christmas is:
        1. scalpers
        2. robbery
        3. make your own
        4. kidnap CEO of sony
        5. sticky tape ps2 and ps3 together
        6. big w
        7. target

        • You win the internet today

        • Only have a ps3 and a ps1 :( to stick together

        • +1

          l already got one in my dream

  • Does anyone know if amazon will ship before estimated date which is 18 Dec? (Say the second wave stock arrives early) What will happen if my bank account doesn’t have sufficient funds by the time they start shipping?

    • +1

      What will happen if my bank account doesn’t have sufficient funds

      Banhammer incoming.

    • Nobody can guarantee that it will ship early, it might not. But it's happened to plenty of other people so it is a real possibility. If you have the funds now but you're worried about not having funds later, you could always buy Amazon gift cards and apply them to the purchase to pre-pay it (that's what I often do, but that's because I can get 3% off Amazon gift cards through Suncorp.)

      • That's a good idea. I might do that to avoid any hiccups.

        So I just add the gift cards to my account? And it will automatically deduct the balance from them? Even if I have cc info saved to my account?

        • Don't tinker with your order. A lot of folks including me had a glitch in their order status after adding gift cards, changing payment method or by changing shipping times.

          • @smarter_fool: Oh. I read about the shipping and date changes. I won't add any gift cards then just in case haha

        • +1

          Just for reference on any future purchases, since you're holding off on this one as per smarter_fool's advice, after adding the gift card to Amazon (under My Account there's an option for adding Gift cards to your balance), you have to go into your order via view/edit and there's a button you can click on to apply your gift card balance to your order.

  • Was anyone able to order from Target and Big W at all on Nov 12?

    • no they didn’t pull through, so im hoping they do for christmas

      • +1

        Target facebook indicated they were "waiting for stock" a day or so ago. I don't think Target have any on hand and will wait for next shipment confirmation.

  • Question, anyone here order from Vodafone?
    Did you guys get some sort of e-mail confirmation?
    Vodafone says it'll come through via e-mail (order made yesterday) but nothing yet.
    They also weren't able to provide an order number. Worried they'll over-commit somehow.

    • +1

      Got my disc edition order confirmed from voda on Friday morning.
      They sent me a email of the proof of purchase (including my order number) and also a SMS for tracking the order. Btw my tracking status shows 'waiting for more stock' so guess they won't have more consoles ready to ship till mid Dec.

      In my email they say if anything about the order just call on 1300 650 410 8am to 8pm AEST Mon to Fri or 8am to 5.30pm AEST on weekend

      Hope this helps and good luck

      • Can I ask, when did you make the order? Did you get the confirmation right after.

        • Made my order at 8am 13th Friday and get their email after 20 mins

  • OMG just scored an Xbox one X 1tb on eBay for $275 posted killer deal so excited; since EB & gamesmen wanted $400+ for pre-owned!** had my old 500gb for 5 years!!

    • +1

      there are some steals on eBay, not sure if they're legit or not but I've seen quite a few iphone 12s being sold for 10-20% off RRP from people with high feedback scores……….

      • I've actually spoke to the guy multiple times, he has been on eBay for years and he has perfect feedback and will be covered by eBay and PayPal

  • It's not a PS5 but if anyone wants a series S pre orders are still open at BigW
    https://www.bigw.com.au/product/xbox-series-s-512gb-console/…

  • So I emailed Amazon today, to confirm that it is ok to be shipped to a parcel locker. They didn't answer my question.

    But they did say this "Upon checking I can see that your order is already in advance shipping stages and set to dispatch on Wednesday, 16 December 2020 to be delivered by Estimated Delivery Date: Friday, 18 December 2020."

    • +1

      Yea thats just a generic response, I also had chat with amazon support as my order is now pending delivery date (oops changed my shipping speed lol) and just got the same message "Upon checking I can see that your order is already in advance shipping stages" rest be assured we are here to make things easier for you haha

      • hey mate, does yours say "Order received - We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date. "
        Cos thats what i have because i messed with the delivery options :(

        • yep same status as me lmao

          • @siraulo23: Hey mate, plz lmk if ur status changes or a date appears for u.
            Ive checked so much yet never changes :(

            • +3

              @OH11: yea mate, will post here if status updates

        • I’m in the same boat as both of you after changing delivery to express. I was on live chat today. The customer service rep said they still have stock. Stock is still secured for me and that I should receive an email within 3 business days. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.

  • My digital PS5 has been shipped from Amazon (bought it the other day around 11am). Guaranteed arrival on Friday woohoo.

    • What was your original shipping date? And did it all of a sudden change?
      I ordered the disk version, my confirmation email came at 9:06am
      Whenever I check the Amazon app I hope to see a more closer shipping date haha.

      • My shipping date was nov 18 to 23 from the start and never changed.

  • Do we know when/if Amazon will have stock again?

    • I actually asked Amazon when I spoke to them initially about my shipping date as my mate is after one too. Amazon told me pretty matter of factly it won't be this year.

      • Did they clarify if is for future orders or orders that have already been placed and not fulfilled yet.

        • +1

          I didn't ask too many questions sorry given I was lucky enough to secure one. But I'm pretty sure she meant for future orders. Anyone with an existing order will be fine.

  • Delivery on my Amazon order went from 19-24 November -> 18 December -> "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date".. Not looking good!

    • If this has changed automatically without any interference i.e. changing shipping priority, gift cards etc then this is indeed concerning.

      • Glad to know theirs others also getting that message as delivery
        Hopefully its just a system glitch. But in my case i did change delivery speed

        • lessons learnt, definitely do not want to touch the delivery status haha

          • @HasuSeyo: I changed mine from expedited to priority, then back to expedited, shortly after I ordered. All it did was go from 19th to 18th and back to 19th.

            • @digitalbath: Someone further up mentioned when they changed from expedited to priority their delivery date went from Nov to Dec, strange stuff

              • +1

                @HasuSeyo: Yeah I saw that. Which is when I stopped mucking around with it haha.

                • @digitalbath: I didn't touch mine and it went from Dec to we'll call you don't call us….so seems random.

    • Update to my comment below, mine was always 18th December, went to "we'll email you". I called Amazon, here is there response:

      "We expect to ship your order in time to be delivered by Arriving: Friday, December 18.

      Your order could ship any time between now and the delivery date."

      Fingers crossed…!

      • Did you order on Nov 12?
        So that sounds like they have the stock in hand, but just working through the orders.

        So many conflicting stories from Amazon.

        • I got my order confirmation email at 9:07am on the 12th and I am a Prime member. I think it appears to be random that people get allocated an earlier delivery as I saw people that ordered after me saying they are getting them as early as today…. believe the only difference is that their's was a digital console…not sure that the digital is as popular as they expected. they may have more of this stock to allocate, given that digital orders are being fulfilled with disc consoles, which is frankly annoying.

  • +1

    YES SAW THAT, lucky!

  • +2

    Got the dispatch notification at around 3.00 pm today from Amazon. The order was placed at 9.00 am on 12th and I did not try to change the shipping speed. Expected delivery by 25th November. Yay.

    • +1

      Nice. I did change shipping AND added gift card (before I knew any better). Date not budging from 15Dec but at least not any later….

  • +5

    Mine is arriving tomorrow now. Pre-ordered 11am on the 12th November…will be in my hands 17th November. Gotta happy with that.

  • +2

    Agent009 is yours a digital version or the disc version?, Seems weird people ordering hours earlier with late December dates and people like yours with arrivals tomorrow, good luck to you, enjoy

    • Yes its weird I know and not very fair I must admit.

      I got digital…wasn't interested in the disc version.

      • Can I ask who you orderd through?

        • Amazon I'm guessing based on the day time?

          Also noticed that everyone saying they ordered on the 12th and are getting it soon are people who bought Digital. Haven't seen any evidence of the Disc version arriving any sooner than Mid-December or even 2021 in some cases.

          • +1

            @AaronR: I ordered the disc version from Amazon on 12th and its on its way. Hopefully I'll get it by end of the week or early next week. Looks like its a bit of a mix where some are being delivered earlier.

            • +2

              @csmacd: Yikes! That's amazing. Also somehow terrible for the people who ordered in Sep and won't get delivery until December… but wow.

              Enjoy! Astro's Playroom is awesome.

              • @AaronR: Some people who ordered today from BigW are getting their units next week.

      • makes sense!

  • Got a email said my PS5 console has been dispatched yesterday afternoon. But the item is being sent by au post not by Amazon, seems like i will get it next week. :(

    • +1

      last time I checked, Amazon isnt a national delivery service? lol

      • Funny thing is, Amazon does have a delivery service.

        • yeah but not national, only metro areas

    • What's wrong with being sent by au post? Isn't everything sent by au post as it's the premier postal service in Australia?

      • I ordered a digital version in Sep, dispatched at mid-night of 11 Nov, arrived on 12. Au post will take at least 3 days

  • Bigw just loaded and now gone

    • WHAT !? is there a telegram group chat which notifies of stock availability?

    • I was able to get one.

      There wasn't any option to pay using gift cards oddly. I tested this with other random items too so might be a problem on their side.

      Estimated delivery is Nov 20-24th

      • +1

        how did you know it was in stock?

      • Press Start article stated this was mid december delivery
        R u sure urs is being delivered next week ?

    • +1

      Damn, today was the first day I didn't check their site :(

    • Did you get one?

      Any idea BigW's delivery date?

      • +1

        My delivery date says the 25th of november

        • That is good news.

          JB Hifi and Amazon, most of the delivery dates are in December.

          • @BuyOrNot: Yea turns out the stock sold was left over launch stock, wasnt there december stock
