The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Jasus I am fuming. 2 Smyths orders. One UPS one DPD for some reason. None delivered.

Just collected shop preorder from GameStop.

Easy process, just needed ID.

They were being *very* strict that person who ordered had to collect in person, and have ID. It seemed if you wanted someone else to collect you had to call them in advance.

My delivery from Amazon with PM now saying at 4pm “Package delayed in Transit” & “Please come back Sunday if you still don’t have it and we’ll help you out”

Anyone else get this?

My mates says Depot Outbound Package @ 3:15pm

I thought ups were usually good big disappointment, tracking just says in transit. Maybe they just have loads to deliver

Having got both of the new consoles, I have to say... just the feeling of setting it up, the new controller, the new UI, the sounds, everything... it just all gave me such a this is next-gen feeling. It really felt like a new generation. My Series X last week felt like more of a power upgrade than next-gen, probably because of the lack of first party titles, the same UI and almost the same controller. Not bashing the Series X, I've been enjoying it, but it didn't give me the same next-gen feeling.

Thanks for that. They're going to get in touch with UPS to 'search' for the order... He says it has left their warehouse.

Anyone else's ps5 very loud? Never really noticed my OG PS4 being loud but this ps5 is very "jet engine" like?

There are a fair amount of reports of noisy fans or "coil whine"-
Some of the videos online more of well known Youtubers who got a noisy one have me worried...

eg. this guy

I had a Asus mother board with very bad coil whine and a driver update actually fixed it - so its not true always that its not fixable in software.

MY Parcel Motel one was delivered to Antrim today at 3pm, but its coming down tomorrow likely as a HOME DELIVERY.

I thought it was pretty funny, it surely would have fitted in their metal collection stations, but NOPE!

Man Sony really made a fecking unnecessarily huge console.:) 39cm won't fit in a huge Media center area I installed with 37cm shelving.

Ha Hope everyone is enjoying their PS5's tonight.

Smyths delivery is here.

Still waiting on Gamestop for my brother

Thankfully I am hearing nothing coming from the console. I'm a bit on the deaf side though.

DPD pickup point was over capacity so it had to go back to the depot, unwilling to reschedule to different home address or allow collection at the depot. Hoping it gets delivered tomorrow!

For those who go email conformations from GS today with tracking with UPS, has the tracking updated yet? Mine hasn't moved all day

ussjtrunks

Cheers. I think I figured it out and found some stuff online. When it installs a game the fan really beefs up but once it's finished it's super quiet.

Just collected mine from Smyth’s Jervis. Lots of youth floating around, felt very sketchy. The longest 4 minute walk back to the car ever!!!

I'm absolutely livid. GS Confirmed PreOrder in Sept and no payment taken or dispatch email.

Unforgivable.

The 19th is nearly exhausted man

There will hopefully be a 2nd wave in the coming weeks

breakin_ball

Walmart in the US due to post some @ 20.00 - but thats only a tease!
They dont ship to Europe according to their checkout page.
Would prob be weeks waiting and it would be in bits.
