Still waiting to ShopTo to generate the invoice so I can get that sweet DPD consignment! Anyone heard anything from ShopTo yet, or is everyone's still remaining on 'order'?
I checked today on my order of COD which has been delivered and it's still telling me to sit tight.
Would you rather have a tight 8-10 hour experience or a bloated, repetitive 60-70 hour experience?
People keep saying that but Valhalla is a 40 hour main story that requires no grinding of side quests to complete the main story, and is currently sitting at 8.6 user rating and 85% on Xbox Series X according to Metacritic.
I received my extra stuff yesterday. Just the console to arrive now.
Reviews I've watched have said the opposite. Skill Up absolutely hated it and I'm pretty sure only IGN gave it a favourable review.
User scores are shit. Most of those high scores will be Xbox users artificially inflating the score because that was pretty much their only release game.
Could've gotten 100 and I still wouldn't buy the rage inducing bastard.
I got an email from shopto basically saying it was at warehouse being prepped for next dpd collection, probably means it will stay their toll closer to release sadly.
Fingers crossed! Some units arrived early in the States, and even though it is frowned upon.....it could happen.
Get fecked, it's a remake. You can't have a remake as a "one of the best launch titles ever"
Started off with astros playroom while the other stuff was downloading. feck the controller demo is incredible
This game was made to run on PS5. Frame rate was appalling on the original PS4. Will definitely give it another go in 4K 60fps

Man I hope I can get one on launch day I will be so bummed otherwise
Email from GAME confirming PS5 is being packed!

My vote would be Super Mario 64. Still I've never actually played Demon Souls and i think they'll be a lot who haven't so it *could* go down as one of the most memorable even if it is a remake.
Breath of the Wild for me. One of the best games ever made and a fantastic launch game to boot.
If demons souls doesn’t count, can we count this? It is a wii u game first and foremost
I remember picking up Demon's Souls on PS3 after reading an IGN review saying it was brilliant but brutal.
They weren't wrong. I had to over level to be able to beat it. Hours of grinding certain areas to get another level up.
I finally reached the last boss, had him down to 10% health when my phone rang. I forgot you couldn't pause the game and answered my phone. Got killed. Nearly destroyed my ps3 controller.

Pressing pause brought up one of the menus but the game carried on regardless.No pause? That's brutal in and of itself!
I just pressed it and went off to answer the phone. When I came back to 'unpause' it... that's when I remembered
Demons Souls looks amazing but after playing through Dark Souls 1-3 last year I just cant face another fromsoftware game.
Paid for DPD delivery and just realised GAME have given me Royal Mail ffs.
My girlfriends dad works for Royal Mail and has said they are so far behind with packages. They should be prioritising PS5’s on the 19th though surely.
For anyone who has ordered through ShopTo....
Pre-ordered PS5 and Valhalla separately. They got merged into the same order number. Invoice was created one night showing Valhalla as units - 1 and PS5 as units - 0. The next day I received the game right on schedule. I'm a little concerned about the '0' in the PS5 from the invoice. You think they'll create a separate invoice when they're ready to ship out the console?

I used free delivery and I got an email saying it will come on the day with yodel "next day delivery" haha... So saved some money there.
Got my controller a few days ago, nice feel but I think it's a little on the heavy side. Also the rubber on the analog sticks don't seem to have improved much and I'm sure it will start wearing away after a few months use.
Been using the PS5 controller on the PC so far, playing Assasins Creed with it. Nice controller although the haptic feedback isn't compatible on PC so will have to wait in order to test out its full capabilities.
You will need to pay for a new roof.
Seeing as 27 publications gave it a score of 80 or above I think we can safely say IGN wasn't the only one to give it a favourable review.
Metacritic
Xbox Series X is 85% with critics - 8.6 user score (130 plus reviews)
It's fair to say that it's overwhelmingly rated by critics and users alike on next-gen.
Surprised not to see any of the images where people are showing the warning screen for the PS5 being too hot. 99% sure they are fake, but this is normally the place to find them.
Really enjoying assassins creed. Doesn't feel next gen like Astros playroom, but is a visually gorgeous game and a lot of fun overall.
Mine seems to be the same. All my stuff was on the same order. DPD delivered the peripherals yesterday. When I now click on the DPD tracking link, it says that my parcel has been delivered but no word about another pending delivery. I would have thought there would be a new tracking link for the console.
I noticed that when they prepped the order for Valhalla to be picked up from DPD, that's when they generated the invoice and sent it to me via e-mail. I think it'll more or less be the same; I'm expecting another invoice to be created when it's due to be picked up closer to release date......... I think.......
If you hear anything, let me know, please.
Will do.
It does seem strange. Just checked my invoice and it's the same - showing 0 and also 0 balance next to the PS, unlike the other items which show 1 & their respective prices. I just double-checked my bank statement to be sure and the money for the console was definitely taken. Once I get a new notice of pending delivery, I will be happy. It's feeling a bit 'squeeky bum time' at the moment, though...
Oh ffs. I'm nervous now!
The fact that someone else has the same conundrum at least gives me hope that this isn't accidental.
