Smyths have been fantastic throughout all of this. Exactly as described from start to finish.

How console launches should be done. None of the ‘que’ BS.
Will be taking them all my business from now on

They always are ive bought all my launch day consoles this way and never had a problem.

I think the best bet to avoid queues is to go on Friday, will I have enough patience It wii be a good test

Yeah, quite happy with my experience with Smyths.

No bull**** of taking more orders than they could fill, clear and direct communication to everyone who got a pre-order and that one time I needed to get in touch with their customer care, they were quick and easy to deal with cause I could actually get talking to them.

10/10 would pre-order again.

Are there any downsides to this at all?

If you didn't use the US account as your primary account you might find a few problems. Remote play is the main one that I find from sharing ps Plus with my son.

Are we really expecting mass queues at Smyths tomorrow? Xbox seems to have been very smooth for them.

I'd be surprised if there has been three times as many pre ordered PS so it can't be that bad

Never been so happy to see 500 quid taken from my account!

Maybe someone can correct me, but I think dlc is region locked. So if you want dlc for any of the plus games you need to buy from US

Have to say if it wasn’t for the people on here, I wouldn’t have got one in Smyths and I would have foolishly paid it off in GameStop each week. I didn’t because people were saying how bad GameStop were. I always bought my consoles in GameStop but this time they weren’t at the races at all.

Smyths have been super . Couldn’t fault them. Thanks again to the people who gave advise etc on this thread .

Am I the only one with Preorder Confirmed for Disc version from Gamestop still to have money taken or email?

I don't mind queuing for a few mins but I just know there'll be a couple awkward feckers in front

No, it should show under orders. So looks like you didnt have an order at all or it just randomly disappeared. I think everyone with a confirmed preorders has been charged by now.

Wish I had known that CEX were offering you 140€ profit on a PS5 before cancelled my preorder as that would be the easiest made money ever. I considered touting it on Adverts but didn't want to be that guy, but no guilt with a retail store like Cex.

if I manage to order from Amazon.co.uk tomorrow, how long will it take to get to me? should i expect a long wait?

Possible you didn’t order it while logged in? That’s the case for my order which is kind of annoying.

Hope to hell it was!!

F**king PHEW - You were right - order still there. Sweet Jesus!!

I'm still locked at CONFIRMED though?!!

Ive always gotten my consoles at launch off Gamestop, never had any hassle, I dont know why but this time I decided to hold off on them and so glad I did, they have made an absolute mess of it... I mean taking €50 deposits so people could join a queue... madness... and now their lack of communication and it being release day tomorrow, people still not knowing where they stand its ridiculous

I really hope everyone that got a PO from them gets their consoles tomorrow

I will be dealing with Smyths from now on for my consoles and games, I was going there for my games anyway cos they are mostly always cheaper, they have been brilliant to deal with and have done everything right with this launch

Did you order one or two? They were cancelling orders for people with more than one order.

See above - Only one ordered, I wasn't logged in so I see it now - but I seem to be at the end of the Q. Order is Confirmed, funds in PayPal, Credit Card in the green not no movement on order...?!!

CastorTroy

Now let's see if I can do with this what I always say I'll do any time I buy a console.

"I will play every game I buy and won't have a backlog!"

With the PS+ Collection and console v games staggered release dates, I've already got a backlog before even getting the machine.

I've not got an email either but looking at my last set of deliveries, emails came out at 11 and 1am so there's time still!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one at the party left without a chair

Fingers crossed!

EDIT - Have they taken payment as yet from you?

pcadhain

UPS delivery from Smyths in in transit. Just in case there are people worried. Was in transit 5 hours ago but only updated now.

Yeah I specified games I buy since I know I won't get through the Plus games.
