A phone shop in Ennis getting 90 PS5s? I wouldn’t believe them and would steer well clear.

That’s €50,000 he will have upfront.Why does he want the money up front?

Whatever for scumbags on adverts and Ebay, but are shops even allowed to sell above RRP?

Either way, I'd be staying well clear

Yes, it's a recommend price.
The could try and sell it for €550 or €450, it's up to them.

Yeah Argos sometimes do this on release date. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Argos have it up for €550+ on release date.

You are splashing out €500 on PS5, treat yourself to a taxi home

The additional luggage fee will be expensive

Good point, never thought about having to wait. I hope they send an email the day before to say it’s ready when the store opens in the morning

The official line from Smyth's is that you'll get a text when it's ready for collection.

Typically I’ve found when pre-ordering with Smyths, they text/email after they close the night before release to say it’s ready.

We tend to get that text/mail the night before after the store closes, usually.
Though I remember getting the text the evening before while I was down near the shop and called over after getting it as think was near Christmas and they were still open. Was told it wasn't actually ready and those were just sent out automatically but would be ready the next day.

So there really isn't much hope of that box fitting in the Parcel Motel lockers.

I know I may come across as stupid, but I've seen him mentioned a few times online. Is he big in America? I don't think I've heard of him, though I rarely listen to the radio these days.
Or is this one of those cases where I get called out for being ignorant because he's the greatest artist in the world and the biggest name ever?

Yeah I'd say he would be more famous in America than here, sure he had a meal named after him in Mcdonald's recently and he has done virtual concerts in Fortnite. Sure it could just be PlayStation trainers seeing as he also has partnership with nike

The largest locker is the exact height and width of the ps5 box alone so with the additional packaging from say Amazon this is gonna be an oversized item for sure. Will probably mean adding another day or so on for home delivery.

So excited for Day one but I know the first day will be spent watching games and updates download. I guess best thing is to settle one one for dsy one and let the rest download when in bed. Hope download speeds are a little quicker than ps4..

Have Cyberpunk peeordered but having second thoughts. Many going with it?

I'll download that after Demon's Souls.

Cyberpunk will be the first game i play on the PS5. Picking it up same day from smyths and bit weird going straight for a ps4 game but been hyped for it for a long time. I usually like to concentrate on one game at a time but think demons souls will compliment it nicely. If i get killed to much in DS, throw on CP. I always found with the souls games that a small break can do wonders, even 1 night. I remember her stuck on multiple bits for hours, quitting, coming next day and doing it no problem first time.

People who pre-ordered with Curry's will be emailed a code that reduces the price to RRP. It's to stop scalpers.

How Soon Is Now

I have Spider man and Cyberpunk pre ordered. Ill finish Miles first then jump into Cyberpunk. Gonna wait till i can find Demons Souls for cheaper and see and hear a bit more about how it plays.

Sort of similar here. I put about three hours into Ghost of Tsushima and was enthralled by it. Learned that ps5 would be playing it at 60fps so decided to hold off continuing as its such a magnificent game that will play so well on PS5. I'll

My copies of Cyberpunk (which won't arrive on time anyway) AC Valhalla, Spider Man and COD will have to wait

shrewdness

I'll be playing Miles Morales first most likely and will be downloading Cyberpunk day 1 aswell. MM will probably be quick enough to go through compared to CP, and I've the disk version pre-ordered so that will be the quickest one I'll get to play anyway. But Astro's Playroom will be getting a look first when nothing else is ready!

I'm planning on getting a new 4k tv around Black Friday, and may pick up Demon Souls around then too.
