Well, I was going to get digital because I like the form factor more, but my wife suddenly took an interest and said she wants me to get the disk version. We have a bunch of old DVDs and Blu-rays that we haven't touched for years, but for some reason she wants to be able to watch them when she feels like it. Which will be never.

With my last GAME order I didn’t get tracking details until the morning it was going to be delivered. At which point they were kind of useless tbh because it was already up to “out for delivery”

Glad my fellow brits are getting theirs shipped. Is there any queue that I can sit in coming up? I would really like a PS5. I am british too though and think the direct site is only for the us.

There are just much fewer digital ones, I'm not sure how that matches up with demand though. My instinct is you'll have more luck going for a disc one though.

Good luck, VG!

Apparently if you’re with Yodel you can just contact them and they’ll give you the tracking number directly, because as far as they’re concerned GAME should have given it to you in the email.

I told you so...
Just got my first crash, DMC5:SE froze and I got booted to the dash, but then I started the game again and literally one second later I was in literally the same exact spot as before the crash. Least crashy crash of my gaming career.

GAME have shipped mine but Yodel don't have it yet:

"Your parcel will be with us soon. Estimated delivery date - Unavailable at this time"

I'm working from home tomorrow but will be sat at the front door with my laptop!

You’re probably gonna want to sit outside so you can at least get the number plate of the yodel van that drives directly past your house without slowing down right before you get the email that the driver missed you and will try again tomorrow.

Yodel is the worst delivery company in the UK. I had constant problems with them that if I found out they were delivering something then I would cancel it.
Once I was sat by the door to catch them out and they walked up to my letter box, pushed the "We missed you" letter through the door and walked away. I opened the door and asked what he was doing and he said he had missed me.

I stood there for a moment because it was just such a bizarre moment. Turns out my package was actually buried underneath a ton of others and he did not want to find it.
