Just collected from Carrickmines, flawless procedure

Didn’t expect the box to be as big!

where were you when the size of the box blew up the internet three-four weeks ago when reviewers got their review units :pac:

Berty

Have mine from smyths ennis road limerick. Nobody here. No customers. No queue. Saw the list and seemed 5 were in before me. Asked how many they had but didn't know.

List I saw was one landscape page so maybe 50 names. Asked was it digital or disc so obviosuly had both.

Bring ID!! She said no way Jose was anyone getting one without it.

Walked straight in and picked it up no hassle at all and no queue. I went to Drogheda even though swords was closer and delighted I did... Mental note for the ps6 ha ha

For anyone getting it up and running and have a US psn account, can you confirm that it works ok before i buy US credit?

I've read it works fine but not from someone actually using their ps5.

I'm sure you will be fine, I assume my PS4 will migrate my Asian and US accounts over with the transfer tool?

And I have both accounts secured with 2FA

Edit : Just remembered Eurogamer had loads of different accounts for different regions on John Linnemans PS5 in one of the video's he even said it...

Its been there since 4, no stock.

Turned up to Smyths at around 7:30am. There was about 5 other cars with people waiting for the PS5 there and no one queueing at the door.

A staff member (who I ended up chatting to and turns out he was the manager) waved us in at around 7:35am. I was second in the queue and was in and out in less than 2 minutes.

I won’t name the store as I don’t want to get anyone in trouble for early opening but it was much appreciated.

I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this obviously but I asked same manager about further stock and he said Smyths will be doing another batch of pre-orders similar to the first two rounds and delivery would be guaranteed for Christmas.

got mine there, now to answer one email every 15 mins to give the impression im working while i set her up

Smyths PS5 just delivered by UPS in Dublin (Blanch area)! Very unexpected to get it this early considering there was no tracking update at all last time I checked around midnight

Seems we are hammering the website, Harvey down, Power city down, Pc world nearly down

Mine just updated "your parcel is on a van and due for delivery - DPD 19/11/2020 at 09:01"

No SMS as of yet with delivery window that you usually get with DPD

One issue I’m having is the PS4 - PS5 upgrade for games.

It doesn’t seem to be working and seeing online others having the same issue.
The option to upgrade doesn’t appear.
Tried with AC and Watchdogs, hopefully fixed soon

Picked mine up at Smyths and got home there, only one person (a mother) stopped me and about 20 envious looks.

Just realized I haven’t bought any games for it!!! Are there any demo games uploaded onto the console?
