Currys are basing theirs on a virtual queue rather than closing it once their allocation has finished so no guarantee with them. Only Amazon and Smyths are basing it on allocation so you're practically guaranteed with them if you get your preorder confirmed

I was in there today trying to get one for a friend and the manager turned the screen to show me the message sent around all to stores from management at 1pm that they had already filled their allocation in the previous hour and not to guarantee any more consoles.

He showed me that he could still preorder consoles but the price was 99,999 to indicate that they hadn't stock to match it right now.

GS orders from last night are not guaranteed

Sure they told me my order from March is not guaranteed

I checked with one of their head office manager he said they are if ordered online. They had a separate online allocation.

An actual, properly done, size comparison between the major consoles for anyone interested.

Some difference v my current PS4 slim. Best start clearing space under tele!

Managed to get two at Smyths after 15 cancelled orders last night. Not sure how their system works but finally I can cancel my Gamestop one. I ordered online with them the second it went live so definitely guaranteed on launch but as its GS will not take my chances.

That a smart move wouldn't trust GS at all.

What's the consequences for winning bidder, just bad feedback?

Jesus, the PS5 is actually a ridiculous size. It's the size of a PC.

Lads the missus preordered this for me with Gamestop, not realising that they're basically pulling a fast one. Do you know if it's possible to get a refund from them if the preorder isn't fulfilled before Christmas?

You can at anytime

I'll tell you in the next few days. I made a F up also by ordering but I requested a refund this morning when I realised it was them pulling a fast one. They emailed me a support ticket number and said they're reviewing my request.

On the website it says contact their customer support if you want to get a refund at any stage.

Did anyone else walk into curry’s and get a pre order? As I posted earlier, I managed to get one about 1.15pm today..paid a fiver cash, got a receipt and kinda blank invoice which basically says customer to collect in store. There is no order number, and only my phone number was taken...it just seems totally devoid of information. Does anyone have any insight into whether it is reliable or not, or is it similar to the GameStop €50 but zero guarantee of anything this side of Xmas? Lady in curry’s was zero help when I preordered and had zero info for me.

Same story with me around 2.30. They were very vague on the date it would be available for collection.

They say in the description it's coming from "a smoke and pet free home", must up the price a bit!

Haven't really been keeping up with the news to be honest, do I have any chance of picking one up on pre-order or launch day?

Unlikely as the demand for the PS5 is completely unprecedented, way more than the PS4, likely because the lockdowns around the world are keeping people at home more so there's a higher than average demand for computer games. Production is also slower than planned because of the Covid

There's an interview with Jim Ryan in the Washington Post, where he's mainly talking about their strategy for PS5. One little snippet is that he says the presence of PS4 versions of Miles and Horizon won't hold back the PS5 versions.

Tbf, he's hardly going to say any different. Could you imagine him saying those versions did hold back the Ps5 versions?

For what? You can't pre-order items with Argos here.

If you live near Newry pre order there and get it there at that store

Pre-ordered mine back in June. May just play Spiderman MM and sell it on.

Argos midnight tonight so?

Pretty sure people in this thread have confirmed that's UK only. Argos IE just don't work the same way, never have preorders.
