It wont be the first or last ad trying to shift a PS5 for mad money.

I'd say they'll be on Facebook, DoneDeal, the lot in the coming weeks.

Sadly, yes.

There'll be desperate people/parents looking to secure a PS5 for Xmas.

I'd say if you wanted to be a complete scumbag and left a PS5 unboxed, and if Sony have a shortage, wait until about December and you could practically name your price for a PS5 and someone will buy it.

Had a look earlier and there were at least 4 other ones.

Storage is going to be a problem. PS4 content via USB3. PS5 content on internal 1TB and expandable with NVMe 4.0 ssd only. 3 compatible suppliers. Anyone see the cost of a 2Tb western digital one. More than the console.

That is not quick enough for the PS5 (tops out at 3430MB/s which is too slow), if I were you or anyone looking at the ssd option I'd wait til Sony release their approved SSD list to avoid getting egg on your face.

Managed to snag a home delivery preorder with Smyths the other night.

They mention that free delivery is not available on Consoles, but my order is listed with delivery being free, is this normal?

No, it should be €1.99 delivery.

Very.co.uk are a parent/sister company of Littlewoods so stock being released by Littlewoods could be imminent.....

Lads I just got a pre order with very.co.uk. Luckily I was already registered and have shopped with them before. It looks like it's gone through....

Anyone in the hunt for a PS5 should sign up for a parcel motel account as soon as possible to avoid this issue

The delivery charges they list excluded consoles and large items, where the charges vary. Not sure if it's just for preorder but's consoles are free apparently.

Wouldn't put faith in Littlewoods.
Their prices are above RRP at times, and they cancel orders for no reason.

Didn't want to wait and see when Amazon would charge me so just topped up my account balance and applied it to the order to pay it off now - you get a sweet £7.20 or £9 bonus for doing so depending on if you got digital or disc :pac:

Disaster, DISASTER lads!!

Preorder is with GS from Feb, so i'm feeling a little confident of getting it on release (19th).

BUT the missus has booked a dirty weekend away the 20th

And it def doesn't look like it'll fit in the travel bag

Only one of those two things will play Demon's Souls so it's an easy choice. No dilemma.

Make it a really dirty weekend by focusing on phone sex. She goes and calls you while you stay home.

Then don't answer. It'll just distract you.
