@Fred - We are awaiting additional stock from PlayStation SA. They had planned units for March and told us to communicate as such but the Final batch for that March allocation has only recently started arriving in SA due to Shipping delays.

We have already started dispatching units and collections from this week as the units arrive and will notify you as your order is processed.

As always, all orders are guaranteed, but to be fair for all PS5 customers, we have to process them i order of received and paid for You should have good news very soon!

Hi there. I ordered a console on the 10th of February and paid for it on the 25th of February. I got a confirmation email from you that you received the payment on the 1st of March, and the email also stated that I will receive one of the March allocation consoles. It's April now and I have not heard anything from you. I am fully aware that you cannot give me a clear indication as to which date I will receive my PS5 due to safety and security reasons. I would like to ask which month can you estimate the arrival of my console? Will it be around this April or May? I will be looking forward to your response.

Ghost of Tsushima Devs to Become Permanent Ambassadors of Real Tsushima Island

by Sam Aberdeen on 05 March, 2021

Ghost of Tsushima released in 2020 to widespread critical and commercial success, becoming one of PlayStation's most beloved exclusive IPs. The game was also responsible for shedding light on the real Tsushima island, along with its rich history and absolutely stunning scenery. This is largely thanks to Ghost of Tsushima's biggest lead developers, game director Nate Fox and creative director Jason Connell, whose game led to increased interest in Tsushima, boosting tourism as well. However, Fox and Connell are now being named permanent tourist ambassadors of Tsushima.

Video Games Chronicle reports that Nate Fox and Jason Connell will become permanent tourism ambassadors of the city of Tsushima in Nagasaki, Japan. The ceremony, which will award the duo with a letter of appreciation and award, will take place digitally due to travel restrictions. Taking it one step further, the city will also collaborate with Sony Interactive Entertainment to set up some new tourism campaigns based on the video game, taking tourists to key locations and landmarks around the island that inspired Ghost of Tsushima.



Tsushima mayor Hiroki Hitakatsu stated why they're awarding Fox and Connell the permanent tourist ambassador titles. "[Fox and Connell] spread the name and history of Tsushima to the whole world in such a wonderful way," he began. "Even a lot of Japanese people do not know the history of the Gen-ko period. When it comes to the world, the name and location of Tsushima is literally unknown, so I cannot thank them enough for telling our story with such phenomenal graphics and profound stories."

Hitakatsu added a very positive and wholesome note about Fox and Connell, saying "I did not appoint them for the purpose of having them do anything in the future. Thanks to the two of them, Sucker Punch Productions, and SIE, I have heard from people all over the world who have learned about Tsushima through their works, and now want to see, know, and go to Tsushima."

"I would really like to appoint all the Sucker Punch, SIE, and game users who were involved in the work as Tourism Ambassadors," he added.



Ghost of Tsushima became so popular among fans, that it led to massive donations (upwards of $260,000) in order to rebuild the Torii gate and shrine on the real island, which collapsed during a typhoon last year. This is excellent news for Fox and Connell, and overall just a very wholesome saga for Tsushima and all its beauty.

Happy to see Japan loves the game so much.
