The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Anyone who preordered online from GameStop been charged yet?
Would’ve thought it’d be today, but just checked my banking and there is nothing in pending

Folks, don’t panic if you’re not charged for the next few days. If you’ve got a console guaranteed, you’ll more than likely be absolutely fine. And you can rest assured nobody is giving you a console without taking their money for it

Am not panicking, just curious to see when they will start taking the money/dispatching since I don’t believe their warehouse is open weekends
I’d much prefer one for free though lol

Its out Thursday so wont be dispatched till Tuesday/Wednesday. With huge backlogs with every courier, I don't think everyone will receive theirs launch day even after its shipped.

Yeah, unfortunately I think you’re right. My PS5 remote and Spider-Man were both a day late, so was a colleague’s Xbox. I’ll be really happy even just to receive it on Friday at this rate

Does anyone know anything about the PS5 in Europe next week?

In the NA region they seem to have fulfilled and obligated all the pre-orders and have many more on top to sell on launch day.

In EU they not only don't seem to have fulfilled all the pre-orders, but there will be none on launch day because they're already ear-marked for people.

Seems unfair I pre-ordered mine on the day pre-orders opened and I'm told I won't see it 'til 2021 because of the queue yet people in the US who didn't pre-order are just strolling into Target today and getting them off the shelf.

They should've fulfilled and honoured all of their pre-orders before putting any out for general consumption.

Who told you that you won't have it until 2021? I pre-ordered on the day they opened as well, and GameStop said I won't have it for launch but didn't indicate when it would be.

Gamestop told me. Here's the exact wording on email I got on September 17th.

"Thanks for reserving your place in the queue for the PlayStation 5. We know you want to get your hands on the console as soon as possible, but unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control, we've now got confirmation that we won't be able to fulfil your pre-order until 2021."

Interesting. Which store did you order at? I ordered from the Liffey St store in Dublin. I never got an email from GS, I got a text on Oct 29th that said this:

"Thanks for reserving a place in the queue for a PS5 console. We cannot confirm delivery date at present, however, it will not be for launch day. When future stock becomes available we will prioritise your order."

I had assumed I'd still get it before the end of the year but now with what you've said I might need to adjust my expectations!

Thats a gamestop thing, not a Europe thing.

How's it not a Europe thing? According to an article in VGC on Sept 29th I can't link because of a bizarre no URL rule Gamestop, Shopto, Amazon, and more started sending out emails similar to mine because they got their allocation numbers so people were told they either will or won't get a PS5.

I ordered online.

Smyths seem confident of having more in this year. Gamestop were taking pre orders since well before anyone else and have built up a huge waiting list. Not sure about the other retailers yoh mentioned right enough.

Hopefully there will be more than they thought. I did also read about Sony going into overdrive to get them out there. Maybe it'll all workout.

If not; I've still got my paddleball.

Got controller and Miles Morales Unlimited in post today. Super excited despite not having a pre order for the PS5 for next week. Controller works on my Ps3 tho

If you ordered online you should expect to be behind all the people who ordered in store prior to that. That’s how GameStop are allocating their stock.
It’s upto a shop how they wish to do that

Thanks very much for the above - looks like no one is answering the store phone, will let you know if I find anything out.

As someone who used to work in Currys I need to tell you wont get an answer. I was there for a year and couldnt tell you if we even had one.

Cex already have PS5 trade in up at 550 cash however expecting this to go higher. Xbox price went up today despite them being available here and there.

Phil.x

Any word on any other electrical stores, pc world, d.i.d, harvey, powercity etc, getting a supply of ps5's

LawMu

I got the email for launch allocation on October 28th and then the text on the Monday before last stating I'll be contacted in the near future.

I haven't heard a word since and it's impossible to get in any contact with them. Have the majority of people received collection times or am I alone here in not hearing anything

Preorded in GS Santry which is open for click and collect

Grumpypants

Game took my money and emailed to say they will ship the day before release. It's going via parcel motel so no hope for me getting it thursday. Maybe by Friday. Most likely the week after.

Don't be mad . Americans are buying $10K SuperBall tickets with all of their holiday savings and don't bother, its a different philosophy there. Also flying first class, when not making tons of money - they are paying for the comfort to not bother hitting F5 million times

Given the number of people willing to pay these mad prices I might stick mine on eBay starting at €500 and include whatever profit I get with my Christmas donation to the capuchin monks. I'll be getting another the week after launch from a friend who works at Sony anyway.

The only thing I'm worried about is a lot of the people bidding on these might be desperate parents looking to make their kids happy at Christmas. I'd feel awful if they are.

Edit: Are we sure some of these bids aren't just people messing around?

There's one here for £699 buy it now.

It's one or the other, i don't blame parents for doing their best, i have 2 to collect next week and they are for my 2 kids. But I think it's poor form to bid on eBay , then bail on one of these. If it doesn't affect you, you don't know the person, why go out of your way to be a dick? Let people pay what they want.

PS5 Digital boxed - "WeBuy for cash €248.00"

Dunno who's in charge of pricing for WeBuy but they're either having a laugh or pricing for stolen goods.

The last time I preordered a console was the Xbox 360, l was looking forward to the PS5 but my better half sisters son wanted one so I gave the preorder to him. I wouldn’t dream off making a profit on a it.

I know people selling there preorder for double it’s pure greed. Also a fella would rather get a profit than help his brother get one for his son for Santa. It sickens me!!

Shame the consoles were not released in early September least would of had a fair bit more stock out before Xmas for people to get it. Another 2 mths earlier a ton more people would of had it then for santa etc.
