PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

Mr Crispy

Someone has put together a "PS5 Enhanced Game Lists" resource on OcUK. Looks like a new account, so I'm not sure how long he'll keep it up to date.

You got an email to say it won't be this year? When did you preorder? I've preorderd in July and haven't heard anything yet.

And your best bet is probably trying to reserve one in Argos when they go live at midnight the night before, or keep an eye on PlayStation 5 Preorder Thread as the lads post some links in there to other retailers.

I got an email September 28 saying they wouldn’t be able to full fill my order until 2021. Thanks for that, didn’t see that thread

I'll hold out some hope so, haven't heard anything yet. Did get a call today from GameStop, fully expecting it to be about the PS5. No, the Ghost of Tsushima POP I preordered is finally in. Small heart attack moment.

Anyone who ordered from amazon get an email to say that their accessories will be dispatched on the 12 November?

Games and accessories launch in the 12th. Console on the 19th

Me too, only delayed by a month and a half

Christ, I'm getting excited for this thing now.

Looking at the list of games that are confirmed on it https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ps5-exclusive-first-party-confirmed-games-6300 if they can keep up the same quality they had in the last (current ?) gen, honestly that would be enough for me.

Not to start anything, I've had 3 Microsoft machines and been happy with them all and the XBOX Series X could be absolutley quality for loads of people, especially when coupled with Game Pass, but I have a PC. I don't need a universal all-things device. Give me some weird Japanese uniqueness I can't get anywhere else please!

Sold my PS4 so wondering if there is a way to get this month's free PS plus games into library before next month?

Log in to the ps store on a browser and add then to your account, you don't need to download them

Argos take one4all - was in 2 days ago. They will take the balance of the card and let you pay remainder in cash or different card if you need to.

I'm curious on options if you dont have a ps5 pre-order. So far Ive seen:

- Queue at Power City
- Queue at Brown Thomas
- Reserve at midnight in Argos

Are there any more?

.G.

Don't wait till midnight. Be watching Argos website every minute from when the shops close the evening before launch day. They can go live at anytime after the shops close on the 18th since they can't be picked up until shops open on the 19th. As I mentioned here before, I've seen items go live on their website at 10pm the day before release.

Was in Gamestop today buying Ni No Kuni for the switch (Big Studio Ghibli fan). While I was there I asked them if I'd have a PS5 this year as I pre-ordered in June.

Apparently I will be. I mean I'm not holding my breath but hey. I got one during the Smyths pre-order a couple of weeks ago so if I DO get notified about my Gamestop one this year (Hopefully before Christmas) I will offer it here. Obviously for face value (As long as it's not going to be sold on again. I NEVER tout. Touts should burn in hell with their mothers who raised them to be touts .....). Based in Dublin (Blanchardstown Gamestop).

Will let you know closer to the date. Will be first comes first served AT THE TIME. NOT NOW!

The music on that theme is some freaky weirdness...

For all the Ni no Kuni abuse he is about to receive?

Exclamation Marc

Likely this has been said but in case it hasn't.

I preordered three games at 50% off due to trade-ins (off the list) for the PS5 and the assistant told me that if they get locked down, they'll be sent by mail.

wilser

Probably a silly question but when I log into the ps store on a brand new ps5 will all my ps4 plus games be playable on it?

Exclamation Marc

One month to go....

99% of PS4 games will be playable. So, assuming your games are in that 99%, the digital ones can be found on the psn store within your PS5 and will download to a PS 4 game folder. For disks, you just put your ps4 disk in and it will play.

Did they not say you need to download the game even if you have the disk and the disk is basically the license key? Basically the same as you currently do on the PS4.

So looks like we are going to a level 4+ . Mkst shops will close. Hope to god smyths stay open for click and collect.

I'd say smyths will do click and collect alright, even at level 5, will just be a crazy queue probably. Glad i booked off the 19th now.

No idea if you need to download the game on the ps5 after inserting the ps4 disk.

Berty

If you go to Smyths they have a banner referring to Letterkenny stating they are Click and Collect so should be fine.

Hopefully now. Off the 19th as well so don't mind the queue.

Think there will be additional restrictions to normal level 4 today. Hopefully as zero says they should do click and collect anyways.

They were discussing it on morning Ireland and they said shops that can do click and collect will be able to do so. So smyths should be fine.

People won't be allowed into Dundrum shopping centre anyway so they will have to arrange delivery most likely.

Non-essential retail can do click and collect in Level 4. I think I read here that Smyths in Letterkenny has been doing this...
