    Do you think Smyth's will do a midnight launch or won't bother due to the chaos/Covid 19)Safety issues?

    Plenty of room to social distance with most stores but could be seen as irresponsible business practice given restrictions.

    They will stay digging until they reach the earths core. They've been taking pre-orders for months and I am convinced they will close before I pick up Cyberpunk from them as I screwed them in a trade in deal with a copy of Cars 3

    I did the exact same with the same game , haha karma will get us

    Nobodies know what will happen in a few weeks time.
    They could be sold out worldwide
    demand might not be met.
    SMyths will simply not charge you.
    No comeback whatsoever.

    To be fair, at this stage, they probably have a good idea on the numbers of consoles allocated.

    Sure it can change, but I reckon people pre-ordering at this stage will be fine.

    Went for camera and headset also. They were both cheaper than I expected so happy with that.

    If I pay for delivery can I cancel my order if I change my mind or am I committed to buying once I provide my bank details?

    Thanks. I think I will leave it so. I’m afraid to go for home delivery and for it not to be delivered within a reasonable time frame. Hopefully the collection option comes back in stock otherwise I’ll have to forget about it for now :(

    Ok guys so I have gone for home delivery. I’m not used to pre ordering, I can see a pending transaction in my online banking, I assume this is normal? When will I actually be charged for the console? Also when would it be dispatched, on the release date? I feel like such a newbie but I’ve been waiting for one of these!

    They won't charge you until close to release. The pending charge is just to check if your card is real. It will go away after a while.

    Thanks a mil. Seems a bit strange that there are no stocking issues with home delivery yet all collection stock is gone. Hopefully those waiting on home delivery don’t have to wait too long after the console is released

    So you are going to be paying more if ordering from Amazon due to sterling if you were paying today it would cost you around €547 from Amazon UK.
    Suppose you could order from an Amazon EU site but you'll be waiting a week for it to be delivered.
    Just something to keep in mind

    It's £449 in the UK, or just over €493.

    Well the digital PS5 home delivery is sold out.

    I think less people want the more expensive disc version, hence why there are some still available.

    I think anyone ordering at this early stage should be fine, but thing can go wrong of course, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    The reason is that retailers who sell physical copies of games will be prioritising stock of the disc version in general but especially for in store collection so they can sell more games and accessories when the customer arrives.

    GameStop stores were given 12 disc and 2 Digital Consoles apparently.

    I think most people are going digital.I have more digital games than physical games plus €400 seem better.

    TBH given how quickly pre-order stock seems to be selling out everywhere, I think a lot of people won't have the luxury of choosing which version they get - if they want a PS5 this year, they'll just have to take whatever the **** is available.

    Sony are confident they will meet all preorder demand as they doubled production in June due to the Coronavirus, anticipating higher demand due to the lockdowns. They'll have at least 4 million units available in November. My guess is anyone who orders this week will be guaranteed as it will be a first come, first served basis.

    Only reason I went for disc, is I still buy the odd 4K Bluray for my favorite films.

    The disk version is nice as it will have 4K Blu-ray support. A 4K-Blu-ray player is pretty expensive on its own. Nice to have the option. I love the PS5 TV remote they've made

    Have a disk won't help you as you'll still have to download most games like call of duty.

    A lot of games require you to download to full multiplayer portion, the disk only has the campaign. At least with Call off duty in my experience, very little comes from the disk, the disk is used mostly to verify the installed content
