The Smyths emailing I received last night said their opening hours are 9am most mornings. Is it still advisable to go at 8am? Are they opening early for the launch?

The email you got last night is a stock copy/paste job. They are opening at 8am today

My head would be melted in fairness.
Hope you hear something today.

I will never touch GS again.
A pox on the gaming world they are.

I'm absolutely baffled. I have order as confirmed with green lights on all payment methods. No reply from GS support. Shocking.

You could throw down 50 euro since like last year. Confirmed launch allocation. No word on the console. Going to try source one elsewhere today but slim pickings methinks

Gamestop tracking hasn't updated since 12.00 yesterday, still says its in Dublin.

How Soon Is Now

Up and ready to roll down to Smyths! Good luck everyone who's on the hunt for a PS5 this morning! and enjoy everyone who got their hands on one!

I thought GS sent emails to those early orders that stocks coming in January...

This should mean I get it at launch surely

Are we expected to receive another tracking update? Checking mine and it still says it is traveling through the Network, I assume we get a pre delivery text at some stage?

You'll get a text update with a time frame they'll deliver , usually in my experience it's either within 5 mins of the start or end of the timeframe never the middle haha

Good luck!
