Game have shipped my PS4! Will it arrive early?

Having checked on my Game online account on a regular basis for a few weeks I've got used to seeing it show up as being on pre-order. I was asked to pay for it in full a few weeks back, having pre-ordered way back in the year.

Today I logged on to my account and saw a change, the PS4 is now showing as 'shipped'. Checking the postage it says everything over £100 gets sent on a next working day delivery service.

I don't think this will turn up on Monday, but has anyone had a launch day console from Game before? Is this likely to turn up before launch day?

    If it's been delivered by Yodel it may not turn up at all or you may find it thrown over a wall.

    I guess there is the potential, but I'd side with them going through the normal ordering system and will be marked as shipped once it is packaged up and scanned to go through to the 'to ship' pile, only it won't go in the 'to ship' pile, it'll go into the 'PS4 pile' and sit there until the 28th.

    Additionally I think some couriers will let senders send ahead of time and request delivery on a certain date.

    I think Amazon mainly use dpd and CityLink over Yodel these days. Unfortunately, CityLink make Yodel look good...

    In a word, no
    Sorry but Game always mark their stuff early but DPD wont deliver until the Friday I am afraid.

    What games are you guys ordering with your PS4? so far only games I am getting on release is Killzone and battlefield.

    When compared to what I got with my Xbone it looks a bit weak.

    Id say exclusive wise, both are weak.

    Forza is...........Well Forza

    the previous 2 Dead Risings sucked, and Ryse doesn't look all that interesting.

    Yes, I got a message on Friday from Zavvi where I pre ordered saying that the delivery status may well show as shipped well in advance of the actual release but the console would be held until the actual release date. :(

    Still TBH I'm just happy I actually got one for release date as I ordered quite late (mid Sept).

    Gotta say dead rising is amazing, well worth the purchase.
    Forza feels a little anemic, bit like gt:prologue on the ps3!

    Ryse is essentially Helen flannigan, looks amazing and satisfy you but in the end it's vacant, self obsessed and very annoyingly dull!

    Got high hopes for kill zone but can't see anything else that's interesting

    Kill zone and BF , being honest with Mario and Zelda on the way, they both look a bit gash

    Looking forward to going next gen though

    They always ship them early due to the huge logistics involved in getting all the consoles to the right place at the right time. So you will find that if it gets to your area early, it will be held there ready for on the day shipping. However they do make mistakes hehehe

    No sadly not. And when I asked Game for one they just ignored me. Their online customer services aren't best sadly, they often ignore questions.

    Already got COD and Skylanders for the PS4 both sitting at home waiting for the console to arrive. Killzone is coming with the PS4 itself and I've got a plus account, so I'll see if there's anything to download there too.
    When compared to what I got with my Xbone it looks a bit weak.
    The Xbox One doesn't look as interesting as the PS4 to me, but then I've always been a PS fan over Xbox for many reasons. I suspect both are good systems though, just not sure it's worth owning both?
