Same here, I started the queue at 3:36 and nothing yet
I'm really thinking it's luck based and not time based, since people have been getting in without problems after joining late.

It's nonsense, this has happened to me twice now :rolleyes:

Was in the queue since half three and the page didn't budge. Fair play to those who got sorted, but dont know how I didn't get in this time.

Ah FFS thats some balls up. Back to waiting.
Smyths on Saturday so.

it's an absolute joke of a system that queuing ****, same last week , 2 weeks in a row queuing for over an hour each time. I'll be going elsewhere for it now, I couldn't give a fcuk if gamestop have them on the shelves to buy.

Whilst I've not been looking for one (already owned since launch). I've been able to get in on these drops every time. I'm not sure what's going on for some people? But I could have scored multiple consoles by now. This is all a good sign of more becoming available, almost weekly now. So keep up the hunt and be ready.

Advice is to use multiple device a pc, phone and tablet one of them will be through

I started queuing at about 4.15 and got in after ten mins. Out of stock by the time I got to the checkout though.

Seems to be complete pot luck but today my luck was in

You're angry but don't lie :pac:

God, sorry to hear that guys. I'm determined to just wait until it's easily available. I've a big backlog of last gen games to get through anyway.

I don't know, I've joined the queue early both times, not even sure at this stage if it's a legit queue or just a lottery and I've been unlucky.

Did this the first time and was concerned that since it was the same IP that would just go off my most recent visit to put me in the queue.

If that's the case use your mobile data and a vpn on either pc/laptop or tablet

I did use a VPN the first time and still no luck.

If it's any consolation I ordered mine last week and it still hasn't been dispatched. Smyths this weekend may get it to you quicker than today's batch of Gamestop orders.

I was hoping to not have to wake up in hangover yet again at 7:45 to try and get a PS5 :pac:

I don't think the Gamestop thing is pot luck really. I had two laptops on it, one on a vpn and neither got through. I think they are checking for multiple devices from one IP address, or similar checks and not including those folks. It would make sense that so many phones are getting through (Presuming the phone is on mobile data that is)

Atlas_IRL

there is no way a site could sell a ps5 without a queue the server load would be insane i'd say they have 10's of thousands on the site at the same time.

Same IP does not affect it at all. Its all random. You can actually get through on two different browsers on same IP.

How long do you reckon it will be before shops will have a permanent supply in stock? e.g. I walk into a game shop and walk out with a ps5 with none of this waiting and queuing?

I got one in GameStop last week. On my phone. Pure luck as I was in the queue. Got logged out as I forgot I was in the queue. Logged back in and bingo.

That was Thursday. Took delivery Saturday.

My luck was in.

Shame is I haven’t had time to even take it out of the box yet

Missed again was driving to work ffs

ThePott

Got one pre-ordered.
Got a notification from the Discord before the Twitter updated so was lucky.

Anyone have any insight into how long the pre-orders have taken in the past?
