A tub of salt and vinegar Pringles? No thanks, sour cream and onion all the way.

Salt and vinegar Pringles are the PS4 UI - basic but sufficiently functional.

The other flavours are the PS3 UI - basic but barely functional.

In that case Sour Cream & Onion Pringles are the PS2 Red Screen of Death. One or two every now and again can be fine, but any more than that and you have a serious problem.

They've changed the function of the X and O buttons on japanese consoles to the western way. Going to annoy japanese people. Always preferred the japanese/nintendo button layout.

Also I prefer my crisps not to be called chips and also to be made from actual potato and not compressed desiccated potato powder, whatever the **** that's meant to be.

People that prefer Pringles deserve to be mocked and ridiculed.

King vs. Tayto vs. Hunky Dorys... Now that is a hill worth dying on. The answer is King of course and I don't care that they are all made in the same plant in Ashbourne.

I've never tried but I thought you could remap buttons for accessibility reasons so couldn't you just manually swap O and X back to how they were to reverse the change or is that not a thing ?

I'm filling it with sharing bags of hunky dorys just for me.

Just saw this posted on resetera, this was the UI reveal for the PS4. Hopefully they do something like this for PS5 but less cringey

Tayto when eating normally, king if you are eating them on bread.

This is the way.

IIRC they actually revealed the UI way before that at Gamescom 2013. That ad was horrifying though.

This is the best way to show a UI, show someone actually using the thing.

Hearing on Newstalk level 5 rejected moving full country to level 3

Mr Crispy

Yeah, some Japanese punters aren't happy about that button switch (Kotaku).

Also, paprika Pringles are the best Pringles.

Its on the Journal now as well, I'm a bit surprised tbh.

I quite like the Aldi Pringles ripoff, Stackers.

I know my local Smyths had a collection window so may be the same

I'm not. Another full lockdown would have a pretty devastating impact on the economy and they're not going to have the same financial resources to be able to mitigate its effects like they would have been able to first time round. Can see the likes of Dublin being pushed up to level 4 though, which they couldn't do while everywhere else was at level 2.

Lads any info on more pre orders? Greatly appreciated

Nothing announced yet. Possible Smyths might be getting more in and having a second round of pre-orders, but just speculation. Currys, Argos, Harvey Norman & Tesco will probably all have some stock, but no details yet on when or how they'll do pre-orders.

Argos will be a fun one to watch. Their systems update any time between midnight and 6am as I found when ordering Mario Allstars 3D

Currys took in store preorders already and reached their allocation on the first day.

Most Tesco stores wont get them - if some do they will all go to staff.

So just Harvey Norman and Argos but again staff have first choice for family and friends.

I dont think they will allow reservation on these for first day. It will be first come first served so staff will get them.

Smyths did say the keep checking when i mailed them.

Just watching the news and the queues forming outside Smyths with people thinking level 5 was about to be put in place.
Really hoping they allow people to change to delivery, imagine the queues November 19th if not

The irony of delaying Level 5 is that it happening during the console releases imo, becomes much more likely.

They'll have to stagger collection times surely. All depends on how the Xbox release goes I suppose

billybonkers

Smyths will plan it out

Tbf Gamestop said they were going to allocate collection times too on launch day

CastorTroy

Wonder if cancelled preorders in Smyths are relisted right away or if they wait and do them in bulk

if someone cancel there ps5 it appear online to perorder.

rob808

Im hoping Smyths do have a plan for ps5 launch looking at there site today saying no home delivery or pick up.They might lockdown home delivery for just the ps5 launch given how expensive the ps5 consoles are or use different couriers.

I can't see why these places can't tell everyone that collection is a thing, but the shop will be closed and you've to wait in a car (not standing or at the very least standing very far away) and wait for a phonecall to come to the door and collect. Make it mandatory to have it paid off beforehand (all retailers, not just GameStop but I'm using them as an example). Then it's simply produce your loyalty card/receipt and you get stuff handed over. No sales on the day. It's not that hard to do in fairness, and if it's only pre-orders and the shop itself is closed to walk-ins, they have all day to arrange it.

Edit: I've created a thread specifically for pre-order talk, I think it would be easier for people still trying to pre-order to use a specific thread than trying to find the info on this one, and we can keep this one specific to any new information on the consoles/games/accessories and not get lost inbetween all the preorder chat:

I have my PS5 as home delivery (couldn't choose the other option during the preorder panic), I'm sure it will be an option at some point.
