A desperate move, but if any kind soul is willing to offer an unwanted pre-order I'd be much appreciative.

Need one for Christmas (not launch day) for a young man's present, and starting to worry now.

Everyone that ordered Digital version through Smyths on launch day, waiting....

It’s going to a strange one waiting for delivery, then getting everything set up, then waiting again for the games to download.. can’t wait!

I assume anyone who managed to get a pre-order from Smyths will be guaranteed one on launch?

Also, what’s people’s experience with home delivery from them, do they generally deliver on launch day?

I wouldn't take it as gospel, but honestly that is as safe a pre-order as you are likely to get. I have never had home delivery of a pre-ordered console, but I have gotten plenty of games from them and they all arrived on or before release.

Smyths are the safe bet in all this, it was actually reassuring that they closed their pre-orders so quickly.

Ya might get lucky someone might have one but there will still be plenty of chances to pick one up im sure! Harvey Norman Argos and DID i am sure will get a certain amount in at some stage. You could always call in and ask them.

Keep checking online sure.

I'm in same position it's frustrating and scumbags selling preorders on ebay for 700plus

I never pre-ordered the PS4, ended up getting one on launch day in Argos. Went online around 5:30am - 6am that day and nabbed a reservation (not in my local, but next nearest).

The Ayatolla

Got up this morning at 3am for Argos.co.uk, have a friend lined up in UK and all who is home at X-mas who could have taken delivery. No sign.

Set alarm for 6am, and website was already amidst the usual slow down. Painful.

Hope PS5 download speeds are good

Scan have updated their PS 5 page

"We have turned off pre-orders for the moment and confirming with Sony Entertainment launch stock availability - Thank you everyone that pre-ordered with Scan Computers and fingers crossed for you all as we hope to let as many people as possible receive a console on launch

1 per customer and placing a Pre Order does not guarantee stock on launch but all orders are processed in date/time order of first come first served basis and will be shipped when stock is available"

Youll get one for Christmas easy.
No way Sony arent going to have enough his time to meet Christmas demand. If people dont get them for christmas they'll wait a year until next christmas before buying them.

Yep my last resort is buy a second hand PS4 + FIFA 21 if I can't get one.
Will look at PS5 then a year or two later.

Most of them will have missed the boat I'd have thought with the short notice

They're more likely to be the ones entertaining the scalpers cause they're panicking about not being able to get one for Xmas

I wonder how much CEX will be charging for them in December

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

I got nothing from that - Below means something to me though, no clue how accurate it is......

If you're exhausting heat upwards you've physics on your side...it's a better start.

A strategically placed duct for compressed air to blast out the heatsink dust would be a godsend too.
