Series X still pops up around the country in Argos here and there.

PS5 I would say Amazon is the best bet, or Harvey Norman (not officially confirmed, just a random twitter page posting it)

Other than that most UK retailers will have them again

At midnight on Wed or Thursday morning what sites would you recommend to try for PS5. If they are UK will they deliver directly to Ireland??

Most likely it works fine, as in the video, but there are issues for a small isolated number of cases out of the many thousands of PS5s that have already been sold in the US, which is getting blown up on social media. Happens with every product launch, there will always be a few issues for a small number of people.

Ya I imagine it's a small number in the overall scheme of things but be nice if Sony would officially address it and confirm the actual issue .

Anyone order the pulse headset from amazon? Mine was due to be delivered today (i have prime) but no sign and an post have come and gone. App still says delivery today so who knows. Not that i can do anything with them until thursday but i want them god dammit haha

Everything with An Post is delayed.

Had an order from the UK arrive with them on November 2nd. It sat in the Dublin depot until the 12th when it moved to the Athlone depot and was delivered on the 13th.

My pulse headset arrived in their Dublin depot on Saturday morning but hasn't moved since.

An Post have been fine for me. Everything being delivered next day. Although registered post. Was told there is a week delay when posting a parcel yesterday and it was delivered today.

Might be different for big pallet shipments etc

Weird, Smyths just texted me to say that they sent mine to your house and that you should drop it over to my house as soon as possible

My Xbox Series X came overnight from Germany via Netherlands and Dublin to Galway all in one night. Don't worry, it's not too late to get dispatched tomorrow.

Sorry if too off-topic but I was just flicking through some old threads and came across the PS4 version of this one.

It's great reading looking back and gauging the mood/excitement of the time, almost exactly 7 years later.

Some familiar names still going strong too!

This link should take you to release day and the midnight collections - 29th November 2013

Mentions of Xtra Vision - the nostalgia! They never let me down in fairness to them

Found my post saying i got it, hopefully my ps5 post won't be as dramatic...

"Mine just arrived! Was delivered to the lads in the office downstairs. By the time I got there, opened it up and found a Dell PC inside. Getting the fuk outta here before something else happens!"

Unfortunately looking like Smyths were telling the truth about not handing over the consoles until tomorrow.

Hopefully DPD are well prepared to get them delivered

What s*itshow exactly are you on about? Do you have a console on pre-order
with them? If so did they send you a email stating you are in the launch day allocation?
I seem to be one of the very few here, that support GS, because I've always got what I expect from them?
I'm curious as to what they did to you, that you are very vocal about? I know
I'm slightly off topic here.

I think the biggest worry is that they’re not responding to peoples emails.

They might still send us tracking details tomorrow and we get it Thursday but I’m very worried now that this won’t happen.

You must work for them, do ya?

They f'd up the Xbox launch. People still haven't gotten their consoles.

Apparently, they've chosen An Post to carry out deliveries. A company that currently displays a disclaimer on its website to expect delays.

Learning nothing from the Xbox launch, they still haven't dispatched the Ps5. It should have gone Monday to see any chance of delivery on launch day.

The continually promote content on social media channels, but will stay silent when queried by concerned customers.

All you have to do is look at GS's Facebook and Twitter.

No replies to a lot of people. People getting texts about an email they never received to pay for their order and when they try and contact them they can't. As someone else has said maybe be they will ship tomorrow but their customer service seems to be a shambles.

Everyone already made room for the console or will you leave it until you get it before venturing behind the tv to the cables?

Have the space for it set aside next to the vinyl player (literally the only place it will go near the TV given its size!) Every other spot is too small. But will need to wait til I have it to venture behind as I don't have a HDMI2.1 cable in situ.

The space excites me....

Was only thinking this today. I'll Chuck it behind the monitor on Thursday and then try clean things up on Friday on my day off. Moving rooms in two weeks so no point in cleaning things up too much

Then I'll have it connected to a 58" and a 27" monitor, for single player and multiplayer games.
