PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

gerrybbadd

So we're a week out, and i'm still waiting on an email from Gamestop about my order. I did get the email 2 weeks back letting me know I was counted in the Launch Allocation (I should bloody hope so GS, seeing as i "pre"prebooked back in January!).

I've heard they're sending out vouchers in "waves" to people, but how they have determined who to include in what wave, doesn't make too much sense. I've seen people on Facebook, who have prebooked since June, for instance, having received their voucher email.

So frustrating

Yeah apparently it's remote play between the PS5 and PS4. I'm not sure which way around it works though; can you play your PS4 remotely through PS5, or PS5 remotely through PS4? I don't see how it should be possible to play PS5 through your PS4 considering you can't even play your PS5 games on PS5 with a PS4 controller

You can remote play PS5 games on a PS4 with a DualShock4 controller. Obviously you don't get the same haptics but otherwise it works.

Yeah, doesn't make sense considering they won't let a DualShock play PS5 games on the system itself.

As far as Parcel Motel goes, is it cheaper and/or faster for me to have them deliver it straight to my address rather than having it going to the depot?

It's €10 for a home delivery and like €7 for oversize collection right?

Think its 7/7.50 for Oversize and then another 7/7.50 for home delivery. So to getting it delivered to you house it will be 14/15 in total.

There could well be a delay in the delivery too. I've an item checked in up north since Sunday and still no sign of it getting to my locker in Dublin.

Picked up MM in smyths just now, in and out in less than two minutes. Very good system they have, should be no issues next week for the console.

I really hope GS use someone other then An Post to ship the console, or start shipping tomorrow. Demon Souls shipped Tuesday, no updates on the An Post tracker.

Ordered the docking station off Smyths yesterday, delivered today by DPD.

I've had games ship from GS and they've arrived within two days. An Post are swamped and slow to update their tracking.

Same, actually nearly always next day delivery for me once I get the shipping mail from GS. Got Resi 3 Remake a week early when that came out!

Just hope they heard the feedback from the xbox crowd and ship a good bit earlier if it is An Post, or try a different courier.

Anyone think there's a chance of picking up the pulse 3d headset between now and Xmas?

Might be better from gamestop with the ps5 as they can post it on Monday/Tuesday and get it Thursday. Problem they had with xbox I say most were not sent out till the Monday the day before launch so delay there so if they sent it on Monday/Tuesday we should hopefully get it on launch day or 1 day later the most.

Just ordered a second dual sense from Amazon and they are using their own new Amazon Ireland couriers so delivery is tomorrow.

Really hope they ship the ps5 the same way.

So given the limited space, and I'm nearly out of space on my 2tb ps4 Pro. I'd be better off to install my ps4 games on an external drive and then keep the internal space for my ps5 games?

How did ye get that out of curiosity? Just checked on my account with Amazon Prime and it's saying the 19th.

Yes.

They only started offering one day delivery on my prime account yesterday so it must be a new roll out in Ireland and my area is covered.

FYI if anyone received a 25% code off PlayStation a few weeks back, it's valid until tonight and can be used on PS5 games now that they've been officially released. Picked up Miles Morales Ultimate Edition and Demon Souls for 60 each.

Yea I ordered a blu-ray on Tuesday afternoon and it arrived the next morning, I was ****ing shocked. FWIW I tried changing my delivery from PM to my house but it wouldn't let me.

Argos have their special offer with Spiderman of a UHD Blu Ray for €6 (Into the Spiderverse). However, the game itself, for Ultimate Edition, is €85

Amazon.co.uk have a pretty good offer, i've snapped it up there. The Ultimate Edition, along with a 3 disc UHD, for £95.78. So you get Spiderman Far From Home, Homecoming & Into The Spiderverse in a 6 disc box set (3 X UHD discs and 3 normal Blu Ray Versions)

If it was me I'd just use the internal storage for the moment. There's reports of some consoles having issues after plugging in external drives.

Anyone hear any word from Gamestop about the in store collections considering it's a week away now. I got the text end of October saying I'm in the launch day allocation. Then start of this month I got a text saying my store will contact me with the rest of the fulfilment but I've heard nothing since. I pre-ordered in store and also my store is currently open for click and collect, tried ringing them past week but no answer, just so confused??

So Dualsence, Spidey & Demon Souls arrived today.

F**kin' Postman git lobbed the parcels in the letterbox and even the bubble wrap could not save DS box getting a broken corner. Rang Smyths (5 mins from me) and they were very apologitic and replcaed it in store.

Nice

Never used that crowd, but the payment could just be pending and will be reversed in a few days when they notice it wasn't completed.
