Has anyone else still not recieved a confirmation from Sony yet? I queued up at 7:00am at Electronics Botique in Kingston on the 7th September. However I am still yet to hear from Sony Does anyone know of any email address or phone number to contact Sony?

I'm the same as Matt, mine still hasn't arrived yet, and I'm beginning to get a bit of a persecution complex.
1. Maybe the staff at Electronics Boutique, didn't send my form off.
2. Maybe my postman hasn't forgiven me for not tipping him this Christmas, and not delivered it.
3. Maybe it has arrived and my girlfriend, in a last ditch effort to stop me playing games instead of washing up, dusting etc, has destroyed it.
4. Maybe I imagined getting up early on the 7th September, and going to Electronics Boutique, perhaps I didn't order it, and my blue pre-order form is simply some crepe paper with 'You HAVE ordered a PS2, honest' written on in crayon.
5. Oh god, someone help me, please! This can't be healthy, surely?

Well, the ads have already started in the mags - well, the last two issues of the Official UK PlayStation mag, anyway.
By the way - the confirmation letter provides the following link for those wanting more info:
http://www.playstation.co.uk/ps2/preorder/
But don't hold your breath - it doesn't contain much new info. Might be worth keeping an eye on, though.
As for being a part-timer... well, I have things to do, but... well, you know how it gets. It's all a matter of priorities! ;-p

I agree with you both (Babylonian and MarkH) if Blockbuster do get some PS2's for promotional use then Sony must be off their trolley. Lets hope that all pre-orders are fulfilled first.
Anyone have any idea when the ads for the PS2 are going to hit the UK? I know they dont need to advertise but apparently the ads will start two weeks before launch date in the US.

MarkH,
I dont know about you being a part timer. Its a bit strange that we all find the time to keep posting during the working day isnt it??? I am going through a slack period at the moment, but what is your excuse guys??
I will be out of the office for the next couple of days so there will be no messages from me. That is unless by some miracle my confirmation from Sony comes through, then I will log on at home just to share the great news with you guys!!!

I can't believe that Blockbuster story is true, do Sony really need the extra promotion. Even if they did, would Blockbuster video be the first choice. I know for a fact that due to Sky Box Office etc, that I haven't been near one for several years. You're right Babylonian, it would be a bit of kick in the teeth to those that have pre-ordered elsewhere.
Anyway, I'm off home now, ( part-timer!), fully ready to NOT find the confirmation letter on the mat!!!!

Yeah, I read that too. Sony should know better than that. With such a shortage, they should not be giving them to large companies in large quantities, simply for those companies to use as promotional gimmicks. The thought of some "lucky customer" receiving one that they probably don't want, when there are fans crying out for machines, is pretty sick.
I say "probably don't want" on the assumption that those who really wants a machine will no doubt be pre-ordering.
Such large promotions could possibly also result in people getting hold of TWO machines, and as the pre-order is a strict limit of one per household, that is abolutely wrong.

That would be far too easy, wouldn't it?! :-)
