No update on my console for Smyths and ups the game last week updated the night before 10pm for a 9 am delivery the day of release.Shame as I pied the day off work for a good run at it but hopefully it arrives for the weekend

5am ish Edit my tracking suddenly updated with it being in the depot from 9 last night so we are good for launch day I think

" your parcell is travelling through the DPD network"

That the last update I have from Wed Evening. ( on Both my PS5 orders)

Still no email or payment taken for me from Gamestop. Gutted.

Am I better off getting ps4 games like Dirt 5 instead of the actual ps5 game?

Seems a bit strange that Argos have Ps5 version priced 7euro more however a ps4 version will work for ps4 and ps5 using the free upgrade...

Does the ps5 disc version add something that I'm missing?

Its maybe slightly more convenient to have the PS4 version but other than that it makes no difference whatsoever

Be careful there are ps4 games that aren't cross buy/gen and some that only certain versions/editions are cross gen.

If you see a PS4 version cheaper it might be for a reason.

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.

That was a stressful evening! :eek:

I was relaxing watching TV when I got a text message from Smyths around 8:20pm saying my payment method had failed and to update same.

Logged on and did so and then had to approve the transaction via the Ulster Bank app. Payment went through eventually but I got no confirmation email detailing same until around 9:15pm when the barcode email arrived.

Phew!

I think my bank may have blocked the transaction due to the amount as I have had pre-orders from Smyths with that payment method over the last week with no issue. I was lucky Smyths allow you the time/chance to rectify any issues and it’s not a no payment, your order is gone scenario.

I’m going to head down to my local Smyths for around 7:30am to scope it out and get into the queue, depending on numbers. I’m hoping the Smyths emailing last night with no mention of 8am opening will lead to many not turning up until 9am!

Argos site seems to be preparing for release of stock so if anyone's looking for one I would try there this morning. Can go so far as picking a store but all out of stock, won't let you pick two stores to check stock so assume they are prepping it.

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

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?
