PS5 stock updates *NO CHAT*

johnny_ultimate

Please post any PS5 stock updates here.

NO chat, unless it's directly related to updates about stock availability
NO buying / selling / scalping / trading on-thread
NO asking for consoles, orders or reservation codes from other users
ONLY post updates for consoles being sold at retail price

Take rumours or speculation with a substantial pinch of salt. If you need to have a more in-depth conversation with another user, take it to private messages.

If you have successfully ordered a PS5, there's a separate thread to discuss it here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058119473 There's no need to offer regular updates on your order in this stock update thread.

We will ban trolls and scalpers, or first-time posters attempting to ask for codes, swaps etc... If any issues arise, report it and a mod will get to it.

Have started a new thread as it needed a clean break. Hopefully this one will be a bit more ordered.

So now that there’s a new thread and there’s no mammys looking for consoles for “me little angle”...
I think on the old one I saw some rumours about Currys tomorrow morning....could anyone elaborate or confirm?

Tesco might be worth watching over next 24 hours. When they finish offering to people who had cancelled orders from their last release they may put whats left (if any) on tesco.ie.

Just a thought, but when Currys restocked the xbox, it wasn't for sale on the website. Someone posted on the xbox forum that they had walked in and they were selling them behind the counter. This was last week

Will check blanch tomorrow and update. I'd be shocked staff didn't get their paws on it all. Has curry's ireland sold any ps5s since launch?

Saz2020

I'd also keep an eye on Argos for the next few days. Some people myt either not collect their reservation or had one cancelled if they reserved more then one.

Rang Curry's also popped into one in way home from gym. Absolute garbage about tomorrow. They said they haven't heard a peep. And if that happened tomorrow would be news to them.

Yeah I thought that...like I said earlier that would be a no go with the pandemic and all

They did in-store only with the Series X only last week. It wasn't on the website, no click and collect.

It absolutely is a possibility.

Some weird stuff going on with Argos stock. I have seen 3 or 4 digital PS5's pop up at Sligo Argos more than once today, then they will disappear. Sligo is the only store I've seen this happen at, I haven't seen any stock of the digital anywhere else at all.

It looks like Littlewoods have changed their PS5 codes

When I ordered at about 9.30am 4 just randomly popped up even though an Argos banner popped up to say they are all sold out across the country. If you see stock pop up assume it's legit and not a glitch. My guess is some stores are late getting deliveries and scanning them into the system at different times.

What's the link? When I click into the PS5 console it displays an unavailable message so can't check store availability

What is going on with argos, when you "check stock in your area" it gives a "can be reserved for collection" on such a date usually 8th-10th .. this has been like this for two days surely it should be fixed by now, it's only on the disc version though... adding stock.. maybe?

Go to the shop Benny. I’ll try online at nine. If I get one it’s yours. I’m in no rush for one but wouldn’t mind having one but I’ve no Santa and I’ll survive.

So with currys tomorrow we cant buy online we should go into the shop first thing in the morning?

Carrickmines opens early so would be a good indicator for the rest of the stores. Horrible day to be queueing outside though

Honestly, it makes no sense whatsoever to me as to why they'd set up this kind of situation at the moment. You are going to get crowds/queues if this happens.



No one else has done a big physical drop of consoles because of the pandemic. I can see them putting them up for click and collect if they have any at all.

javagal

Ok so, just in store. From 11 onwards. They only have 20ish in that store(naas). Not sure on others

They haven't, and will not, advertise. They are discretely making small amounts of stock available. Seems like a reasonable approach. Stops the scalpers and bots hammering their web site and reselling for a premium.

Very quiet in here tonight. Any updates regarding currys?

WarZoneBrother

I feel like I read that currys have stock at 11am but I cant tell if I've gone mad or not...

Hope to get call tomorrow! A friend of mine order from same shop as me and got a call around 12 today although he ordered about 5 minutes before me

ironictoaster

Got one using argos.co.uk in downpatrick. Fingers crossed.

edit: canceled!

Seems the rumours are curry’s will have stock in the morning but any idea how the process will work as the shop will be open afew hours by the times the stock comes up supposedly .

There will already be customers in shop browsing, are they just just going to start parading consoles from behind the back or have a special line. No doubt there will be people badgering staff first thing in the morning waiting

Yeah ive been hunting them down (unluckily) since before launch and some people i know just strolled onto certain sites randomly and got sorted instantly haha hopefully have one sorted soon so can sleep easy !

gaelar29

Hope OK to ask this as mods are been strict at moment, knew argos uk was up to something last night, went to sleep at 1.20, woke up 5.30 and checked, they went live at 3.30am, why do companies go live then?

Because 50,000 people descending on their website to look for a PS5 are not buying a kettle. So take the damage to a time when they dont have people looking for a kettle an actual item they make money on.

Hope that clears that up for you.

My guess is it's the time their system updates stock in anticipation of stores opening at 8am

What they did with the Series X is that they had a few behind the counter, and more out the back. You just had to join the normal queue, then ask for one when you got to the counter.

Whether this is what they'll do with the PS5, I don't know.

Argos have changed the PS5 listing so you can't try to reserve anymore.

My guess is that they still have stock that will become available, their initial supply seemed way too low to me. I was in Argos Tallaght yesterday, and a guy working there said they only got one in, and all of the staff wanted it!

Enflame66

Argos.ie none of the links work anymore at all even just for the games themselves like spiderman ps5 all just bring you to link does not work thats fairly suspect as they still have stock of the games as far as I know. Also man I am also gonna be going to carrick mines but man explaining why so I can bum a lift or taking the bus in this horrendous weather is gonna be rough

Almost every post I've seen since observing has been right, even when I taught it was false..So when you hear about currys stock just be glad you actually knew about it....


Its alright me saying this as I already have a console but I am trying for friends and just informing them...Currys I think us the last hope , I didnt even think there would be any chances after launch...

Anyone go to carrickmines ?

It would be great if you could give us an update! My nearest Currys is 45 minutes away and doesn’t open till 10am but I was planning on nipping down.

Argos have stopped you reserving the PS5 which is concerning because we know they have them FFS!

But they are reserved already by others, most dates for collection were long after anyone collected them. So still don't get how some collected already, hope I still get the text but I think they just sorted the glitch.

Pacifico

Wonder if the Argos orders due for collection today will work out!?

Berty

Got my text from Argos just there. Ready to collect. Another boardsies IRL is likely peeling out of his driveway as we speak as given to him.

I knew Rathfarnham would be able to be requested today as well but the website is blocking all requests. Watch Argos today, they'll have to turn it back on , it's the premise of their business model, requesting their stock.

Can i ask had you originally got a reservation number when you tried to reserve or one of those email yokes ?

Berty

locksdown wrote: »

Got one with a code only because the item was available the following day. The rest were blank with no texts.

Like I said about Rathfarnham, was showing Sunday so that is why I wanted to check today. Blocked.

Berty

I got my Argos available text about 7:30am this morning. Have 3 days to collect.

They've stopped that now. Maybe it's because people have been ringing managers and call centres asking questions. You know now the current stock is likely being pulled.

Yeah would have blocked the reservation page as a lot of people were getting fake reservations emails. The customer rep I spoke to said their day is full of people calling about these blank reservation emails with no reservation number, thinking that it meant they secured one.

I got no text, just an email but it had a number on it so it was enough for me to collect it yesterday, so if you got an email with a reservation number you have one secured

olestoepoke

Maybe you guys should take your conversation to the "I've already secured an ps5 thread" so we can keep this one for updates for those who haven't secured one yet.
