    No sign of it yet.

    They seem to be sending in batches so keep an eye out over the next few days

    Are these emails for people whose console was confirmed for launch?

    Yeah you would have already gotten an email saying you were part of the launch allocation

    The MD of An Post Mail was on Newstalk a little earlier saying they are dealing with volumes 130% greater than usual for this time of the year, and citing issues such as staff needing to social distance and staggered work times as reasons for causing delays.

    He was advising that people allow an extra few days for their mail/parcels to arrive.

    I believe GameStop used An Post for the Xbox deliveries?

    Yeah I believe it.

    Waiting on a game from CeX and Smyths, both say they dispatched Monday/Tuesday but haven't even been scanned yet by anpost

    Have to feel for the workers there, I collected a package from a depot in June and it seemed busy there and the lad said it's basically as if Christmas never ended last year

    There's controllers on the Smyths site now.


    Home delivery and most stores

    I've been seeing the Controller on Smyhts for a few weeks now, never seemed to be an issue adding it to the cart, didn't bother till yesterday till the Charger came available. Same with the likes of Amazon, controller has always been available anytime I checked.

    They actually used 3 different delivery companies for the Xbox launch judging by the pre order thread and Twitter. An Post, UPS and (I think) DPD. GAME in the UK are doing the same because of the massive number of consoles they have to ship

    They take payment 2-7 day before launch and that ps5 be given to couriers a day before lanuch.

    How will getting a ps5 from a physical Argos store work anybody know? Are they even selling them on launch day?

    It seems like Argos won't have any at launch at all. A few people here have said they've spoken with branch managers to confirm. All Argos' stock has been kept for the UK stores as they took pre-orders there, whereas they didn't here in Ireland.

    If by any chance they do have them, you'd have to reserve it online, then it's just a case of click & collect at the store.

    Got my PS5 headset delivered this morning from DPD. Controller yesterday from UPS. I ordered in Smyths.

    So ready to go for PS5 next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 400 ✭✭Bugg


    Has anyone changed their delivery address on Amazon? I want to change it from Parcel Motel to my work address, the option is there to do so but I'm hesitant to click on it in the small chance it screws my order


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭JimBurnley


    Smyths delivery of headset just arrived via An Post (Dublin based). Hype just gone up another level...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83 ✭✭BlueEars


    I think I read on here the PS4 controllers will work on PS5 if playing PS4 games, is that right or am i imagining it? If so, would it be possible to use one PS4 and one PS5 controller at the same time when playing 2 person games? Or should I buy my son another controller to go with his already very expensive xmas present?

    I have done that on other occasions without issues. PM is a big risk factor, as even though they seem to deliver most parcels without issues, when something does go wrong, their CS is practically non-existant and it takes weeks to months to rectify.

    Yes, you can use one ps4 controller and one ps5 controller, while playing a 2 player ps4 game on ps5. This was something I wanted to find out for ages and was only confirmed the other day, but can't remember where I read it. (It's a hard one to google)

    I'll know for definite next week anyway when I try it out. PS5 controllers seems to have decent stock, so if not, at least it should be handy getting one.

    when you got your controller of UPS did it have the Eircode on it.

    PS4 controllers will work on PS5 but only for playing PS4 games. If you want to play PSVR games you will need the Dualshock 4 because of the light bar.

    You can use PS5 controllers on PS4 from what I've read.

    You can use PS5 controllers to play ps4 games on the ps5.

    Based on my issues with Game and Ordering for Parcel Motel
    Game UK wrote:
    Hi there,
    Thank you for contacting us.

    We don't deliver to Ireland any more but we do deliver to Northern Ireland.

    ​I cannot see why you may see this issue other than if your sever is connect via Ireland.

    The only way I could get the system to put anything PS5 related into my basked was using a VPN.(I used Tunnelbear - free bare minimum allowance). Just in case people spot a deal and can't understand why they cannot order, this is likely why.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    Lads, has anybody been able to get an answer from Gamestop?

    I've a mate who pre-ordered and paid his console off in full back when the price was announced, he's not received any communication from Gamestop since and they're not responding to the emails he's sent. Anybody know a better way to contact them?

    Yes, trial by Social Media. They have taken funds in full for a product that they might not actually provide. I would be Tweeting them and copying in the likes of the CPCC, Conor Pope and others.

    I might even put them in the same remarks, somebody can jog my memory. There was an Irish retailer 1-2 years ago who sold a load of mobiles, then couldn't supply them and then went out of business. Nearly every media outlet was discussing them.

    So if GS have taken money in full, won't engage and cannot supply a service then they should be dragged through social media. Remember the loudest voice is often seen to first.
