Is this "Customer Order Number" on the confirmation letter, or are you talking about the "Pre-Order Number" on the blue form? Are the two the same? (I don't have my confirmation yet.)
My pre-order form is numbered 0289526.
I recently e-mailed Sony (see the thread "PS2 pre-orders - official reply from Sony"), and their reply gives the impression that it's strictly first-come, first-served, and not related to the order number.
For example, if you'd ordered from your local Game (as I did), but Sony received your form before mine, then you will be ahead of me in the queue, regardless of whether your number is lower or higher than mine.
To process forms in numerical order would defeat the first-come, first served system, as the number on your form is a lottery; it would depend too much on which region received the first batches of forms.

Man!!! I seem to be the only one to not have received their confirmation yet. Does it tell you what date you will be able to collect your PS2 or do you have to await further confirmation for that????
I sure hope that there will be a letter or Email waiting for me when I get home otherwise I am going to start getting really worried.
By the way have you seen the new StarWars screenshots that are up on PSx2central.com. This game is looking awesome and as a big StarWars fan I cant wait to get my hands on it.

No, it doesn't give a date. The following is from memory, as I don't have the letter here at work with me...
They apologise, but say they cannot give a date due to the demand. They do say, though, that you will be contacted again nearer the launch date to let you know when you will be able to collect your machine.
You are, however, *guaranteed* a PS2, and there is no need to order from anywhere else.
If your confirmation isn't waiting for you when you get home, don't panic just yet. Give it a few more days.

Did you pre order from SR, or some place else? I oredered mine months ago, and still don't have my confirmation from Sony!! Only a letter from SR saying to expect to be waiting until Febuary, when I rang them about it they said if I don't cancel I'll more than likely get it sooner.ARTY

I had mine on a shop-based pre-order with my local Game store since late February/early March time. I had a feeling they'd be hard to get hold of well before the official pre-order scheme was announced.
Unfortunately, that doesn't place me any nearer the front of the queue.
None of the pre-order applications will have been processed until at least September 8th, I reckon - so be patient a little while longer.
