"Has anyone phoned this number ?"

Anyone who has pre-ordered a PlayStation 2 should give one of these numbers a ring. You can find out if you will be getting a PS2 on launch day.

PlayStation Helpline #1 : 08705 99 88 77

PlayStation Helpline #2 : 0990 99 88 77

Let me know how you get on.

Glad that i could help.

I phoned the helpline again tonight, (i think that they are getting really pi***d off with me) and this time didn't get the spotty g*t in the corner. They told me that Sony are about to "speed things up" with their responses. Apparently there has been a lot of mix-ups at the retailers with the forms, so they (Sony) feel that they have to act sooner rather than later. Expect to hear within the next week or so.

They also said (un-officially) that there will be 500,000 PS2's available at launch.

If all this is right, i think i see a light t the end of this long, long tunnel.

yes! I rung the number you provided me with kieran and i struck gold.
I spoke to a very nice bloke who found my information on the computer straight away.
He said he would have a confirmation letter of my pre-order to me in 7 days.
Thanx very muck kieran!

Yeah so have Dixons, blah blah blah. Put it this way, there has been over 200,000 pre-orders currently made, and all the allocation has been taken up for pre-christmas, and those figures came from Sony. I seriously doubt that any company has ANY pre-Chrimbo pre-orders, but you are welcome to prove me wrong, it would make a lot of kiddies Christmas wishes to Santa come true...

Apparently Toys R Us still have loads of their allocation left, well so it said in their advert in the Sun on Saturday.

Damo.

They all seem to have clammed up. Don't worry though, if you ordered on the 7th you should be ok.

Babylonian I know how you feel I got the same too- I found it so annoying!
Are theyre any nice people in the hotline? People that will release the info?

Are you a famous blues guitarist PeterG?

You just need to be a bit more pushy, say you have yet to receive any letters from them and see what they say.

Don't lose heart, sounds like you got the spotty prat in the corner doing his job "by the book".

Give them another try tomorrow. I just kept harping on at them. Most of the guys on the hotline are pretty decent, but there are a few w............ !
