It sold out online in smyth physical and digital

Just pre-ordered mine (disc version) via Amazon, we get it a week earlier in Australia too

Do we all imagine these are going to be in short supply come Xmas?

You'd think Sony would get their manufacturing act together and have plenty available. Then again, I do think some manufacturers like a bit of news about sell-outs and demand being too high.

There abit early people can still perorder lol.

Hopefully, but I suspect when push to comes to shove and we get closer to Xmas, if supply is constrained then these people are going to make some money.

well not only that and dealing with covid 19 and lockdown.Then with winter coming in it gona be hard to tell who has covid 19 or just a cold and lining up at launch in the cold with face covering that be hard.

Torn between the two versions but I think even with the physical version being 100 quid more expensive, you'll save money quite fast having many more marketplaces to buy disks rather than the very limited digital options.

Just checked that there. Wow. Glad I got my order in....
Fairplay.. at least they are not doing a Gamestop and taking as much as they can.

they must have a rough idea of allocation.

Grr- I had signed up months ago as having interest - but got no email - so a few hours late and only place I can see now is gamestop but they only have reserve queue left with no assurance of delivery this year.

Where best would it be to order a ps5 tomorrow - or its looking like an xbox for me this generation

Nothing specific yet, although I had this bookmarked in case I missed out at Smyths.

GameStop stores were given 12 disc and 2 Digital Consoles apparently.

Where did you hear this?

Switch to SMYTHS UK. It’s coming up you can do click and collect in Newry if that’s any use. Fairly sure you can use Irish CC and ROI invoice address.

I don't that the whole "people panicking as they missed out a preorder". Just wait until the next batch are released. There is no rule that says you have the have the ps5 within the first few days. I missed out on the preorder so will just wait until the next batch are available. People need to chill out😉

Amazon preorders will go live at 9am but that said in an email that there's very limited quantities available so you'll have to be there on the strike of 9am to get in

Question.. I preordered my disc PS5 from gamestop with PayPal. It took €180 from PayPal balance and the rest from my credit card tied to my PayPal account. I'm not sure how PayPal works in this instance.. if I don't have €500 In PayPal balance at time of shipping will the fee just be taken from my credit card? Don't want to hit some technical payment issue affecting the order...

Did gamestop actually charge you? If so why would they charge you again. Or maybe I'm reading that wrong as I'm not long up!

Hi. No they do not take anything now for pre-order... they charge at time of dispatch... just wondering if my credit card will cover the payment

Any point calling Smyths this morning? Went to bed too early altogether, missed all of this.

I wouldn't call 11.45 too early.
Thanks Smyths, would an email at a time everyone was awake to see it have been too much to ask?

Just pre-order it with a second controller. Was one of the first in nabbing a disc version with gamestop. Chuffed!

Can't see any charging stations available now though.

I got one in Smyth's just in case GameStop falls through. I was gonna get a second one anyway for my son.

Why do you think gamestop order would fall through? I'm not a fan of theirs but is there evidence of them botching confirmed preordered items before?

To be fair, at this stage, they probably have a good idea on the numbers of consoles allocated.

Sure it can change, but I reckon people pre-ordering at this stage will be fine.

Agreed. We're too far down the covid path for the systems to disappoint. They are all aware of stockpile numbers and allocations available. Hense the sold out posts when quotas are met.

So... what the ****?

Checked smyths website all night. Got no email and now... all gone?

I registered interest day one. Nothing in my junk mail.

Can't believe they've let me down after like 20 years buying consoles day one with them.

I got the email but was asleep, raging they didn't send it out at a reasonable time. They just lost my business and I'm buying a PS5 and Xbox series X.

Amazon UK not showing any PS5 page but Amazon DE has the page there ready to go live.

Anybody know anything about Argos doing a preorder?

You have to reserve at midnight on the day of release.

They haven’t guaranteed any for launch

They’re taken them since last year in store, and again with no actual idea of numbers


‘Payment for expression of interest’ and taking full payment online with no guarantee of day one is shocking too
