"Got the final letter"

I got the final letter this morning from Sony, and it said that my PS2 would be ready on the 24th November, launch day. HARAAAAAAA
For that split second I was content and then that feeling came back, I need one and I need it now! Well only 8 and a bit days to go............................. and counting.

Also with the letter came a PS2 Registration form which it says to fill in when you get your PS2, it also says that when you send the form off they will send you a demo disk! Does this mean you do not get one in the box? Or is this a second demo disk?

Excellent news! Well, for you, anyway!

Come on, Post Office - where the hell is mine?! :-/

Has anyone got a final email yet?

Someone mentioned that the collection letters were all going by Royal Mail.

What if you asked for confirmation by email? I have had my first email saying a ps2 has been allocated to me, just not when it will be available.

Yes, I thought that was weird. I'm not complaining if it's true, though, as I had untold problems with the confirmation e-mail. I never actually received the original, and they couldn't send a copy. So had to e satisfied with an e-mail saying 'yes you've got one' from the helpdesk. (amounted to the same thing , in essence).

Also, it may have something to do with the registration forms that Viperfire mentioned? Additional bumph they want to send? Who knows? We'll have to wait and see, though hopefully not too long...

Hi there, I also asked for confirmation by e-mail and I just received mine from Electronics Boutique to say I get mine on launch day :-)
I ordered online on their website on the 7th.

I'm so happy I could
(a)-Pay my community charge for the year
(b)-Be nice to my boss
(c)-Go to the mother in laws for dinner
but then I thought, nahhh...I need the money for games and I'm taking a sickie next Friday to await my PS2 and the MIL's cooking stinks so I'll be ordering take away.
