The official line from Smyth's is that you'll get a text when it's ready for collection.

Typically I’ve found when pre-ordering with Smyths, they text/email after they close the night before release to say it’s ready.

We tend to get that text/mail the night before after the store closes, usually.
Though I remember getting the text the evening before while I was down near the shop and called over after getting it as think was near Christmas and they were still open. Was told it wasn't actually ready and those were just sent out automatically but would be ready the next day.

So there really isn't much hope of that box fitting in the Parcel Motel lockers.

I know I may come across as stupid, but I've seen him mentioned a few times online. Is he big in America? I don't think I've heard of him, though I rarely listen to the radio these days.
Or is this one of those cases where I get called out for being ignorant because he's the greatest artist in the world and the biggest name ever?

Yeah I'd say he would be more famous in America than here, sure he had a meal named after him in Mcdonald's recently and he has done virtual concerts in Fortnite. Sure it could just be PlayStation trainers seeing as he also has partnership with nike

The largest locker is the exact height and width of the ps5 box alone so with the additional packaging from say Amazon this is gonna be an oversized item for sure. Will probably mean adding another day or so on for home delivery.

markcahill1985 · 24-10-2020 9:48am

So excited for Day one but I know the first day will be spent watching games and updates download. I guess best thing is to settle one one for dsy one and let the rest download when in bed. Hope download speeds are a little quicker than ps4..

Have Cyberpunk peeordered but having second thoughts. Many going with it?

I'll download that after Demon's Souls.

Zero-Cool · 24-10-2020 11:22am

Cyberpunk will be the first game i play on the PS5. Picking it up same day from smyths and bit weird going straight for a ps4 game but been hyped for it for a long time. I usually like to concentrate on one game at a time but think demons souls will compliment it nicely. If i get killed to much in DS, throw on CP. I always found with the souls games that a small break can do wonders, even 1 night. I remember her stuck on multiple bits for hours, quitting, coming next day and doing it no problem first time.

People who pre-ordered with Curry's will be emailed a code that reduces the price to RRP. It's to stop scalpers.

How Soon Is Now · 24-10-2020 11:34am

I have Spider man and Cyberpunk pre ordered. Ill finish Miles first then jump into Cyberpunk. Gonna wait till i can find Demons Souls for cheaper and see and hear a bit more about how it plays.

Sort of similar here. I put about three hours into Ghost of Tsushima and was enthralled by it. Learned that ps5 would be playing it at 60fps so decided to hold off continuing as its such a magnificent game that will play so well on PS5. I'll

My copies of Cyberpunk (which won't arrive on time anyway) AC Valhalla, Spider Man and COD will have to wait

shrewdness · 24-10-2020 12:04pm

I'll be playing Miles Morales first most likely and will be downloading Cyberpunk day 1 aswell. MM will probably be quick enough to go through compared to CP, and I've the disk version pre-ordered so that will be the quickest one I'll get to play anyway. But Astro's Playroom will be getting a look first when nothing else is ready!

I'm planning on getting a new 4k tv around Black Friday, and may pick up Demon Souls around then too.

mac1ntosh · 24-10-2020 12:07pm

Does anybody know where you could potentially pre-order now, or is there no hope?

Nowhere is taking guaranteed pre orders at this stage. Waiting lists are your best bet and no guarantee when they'll be fulfilled.

Size comparison between the DualSense and new XB controllers (source).

CastorTroy · 24-10-2020 7:18pm

Now they have the consoles, have any of the sites said when the first embargo is up or what it covers?

They can't (well, they're not supposed to at least) go into the details of the embargo as they're under NDA.

But from what I've gathered they can start going into things next week.

CastorTroy · 24-10-2020 7:42pm

There's an embargo on the embargo? This the new announcement of a teaser for trailer?

CastorTroy · 24-10-2020 9:20pm

So of course the source for this comment is youtube comments

27th for unboxing, 6th for some more stuff, and then various embargos for launch games. It's all over the place.

GamingTrendVideos, the crreator of the below video said that in the comments
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuVHd4LnvTI

So console functinality and games can only be talked about in the last week before launch.
Though 10 days between unboxing and the next thing seems a long time
