What is the reason for this change? As far as I know, it has not been confirmed that Sony has approved, even if Sony had approved, why wait until the 17th? Will shipments really start on the 17th? Are we getting our hopes up? I don't know what to think.

same In my account and since DD+ is available for preorder again I guess they got it approved and waiting for someone to finally push the button
It changed for everyone I think we can assume that they will beginning shipping on 17 January
maby they talke to sony and they gave them this ETA when it would be done
same with me to
That's just the new date that the next delay will happen at.
🙄 (SMH)
a company that has nothing to hide would be proud if it got the "green" light from Sony. precisely because of this, they started this agony with the idea that Sony was to blame for the stoppage. so if they got a license, then let them make it public.
this way it looks like another enticement of new people to buy something they have no right to sell.
Yes for sure cry a little bit more because you didn’t get your stuff
Now the pre-order date of the DD+ shows me February, 26th..... (Fanatec.com/eu)
🥸
Na Jonas mein Lieblingsschwachkopf. Alles gut bei dir?
Top! Grüße an Siko!
Mine changed the 17th as well but wouldn't you think that if they got the licensing from Sony, they would make an announcement reassuring us? I would be willing to bet a paycheck they still aren't able to release the DD+ and we are in for another delay...
😂👍️
I would not hold out hope as Fanatec has been slow to provide accurate information to us. I don't want to sound negative but they pushed back our original ship date once and blamed the shipping backlogs and then again when that date passed and they still didn't have the approvals to ship yet. Would have been really nice if they took a picture of pallets of the DD+ sitting in a warehouse for us to see that they are somewhere and actually produced. Hard to put any weight in the new release date without solid info from Fanatec. I woudn't get your hopes up too much that way you are less frustrated when that date passes and nothing happens.
The date in the order says nothing really. They likely don't want the date being behind, but the fact that the pre-order dates changed (still Jan 17 on US store) feels like a breadcrumb.
But i agree that without Fanatec going on a PR announcement I'm just sittin here watching the boards in hopes of good news.
Thats probably the second batch of dd+ from the factory
taking more orders too
I've noticed that the compatibility statement for PS has just been updated on the website.
AFAIK, Fanatec has not made any official statement about this... The good thing is that I assume that they have officially received the license.
Jose, I could be wrong but I strongly believe that was there earlier when this issue first came up about the licensing. This was part of the conflicting information Fanatec listed on their webpage showing the part you highlighted in the red boxes. They have another section lower that says they are subject to Sony's Final approval in the special notes section a little lower on the product page under "Special Notes".
I don’t see what you mean buddy ?
When I ordered again today. It is still stated 17/1/24, however, it changed to 24/2/24 after the status changed to in process. And I have cancelled the order which is 17/1/24 in order to reorder again with other wheel accessories by using the 10% Voucher. Now I can save some money but need to wait 1 more month to get the DD+…..
good business decision
You are wrong Bruce. They removed the information you mentioned under 'Special notes' and added the new information that I pointed out in the screenshot.
This was posted about earlier about the special conditions on the thread earlier in January when this first came out. The thread
DD+ Officially licensed for PlayStation®5 - Marketed OFFICIAL even before Sony approved the product
In the blog released by Fanatec updating orders for the DD+ this was discussed about the conflicting info they posted sharing that it was licensed for PS4/PS5 in the information and then in the special notes it had the pending approval from Sony statement as well.
I don't think they changed a thing except the date of availability for new orders and that now it is available again for pre-order. At least the US site has had that info listed since I've been following on this.
I still think they are wrong for releasing it for sale with "Officially licensed" in the features and then in the special notes having a pending approval by Sony statement there. Those two statements conflict with each other imo though I am not an attorney. I'm not happy about waiting for my direct drive and with Fanatec about not being clear about where they were in the process even back in December when the delivery was pushed back for logistics. The lack of clarity is something that I think upsets many people waiting on the delivery of their paid for items.
The date on my order changed from January 17th to January 10 this morning.
You lucky bastard
Mine went from 27.12 to 17.1 to 26.2 😄
and they don't care. your money is with them, and you wait
Well, January 10t is today, you'll have to tell us how the process is going; hopefully, they'll send it to you.
Did they send it to you?
