    Just back from smyths. All good, just an FYI

    I bought Miles Morales last week and collected it today, but since I didn’t pick it up within 2 days that payment was refunded and I had to pay €80 again

    €80 *should* make it’s way back to me in a day or two. Revolut showing nothing yet


    So if you have a PS5, make sure you get it within 2 days or else €400/€500 will be in bank limbo after that for a week or so and you’ll need to come up with the money again temporarily if you go collect after the 48 hours
    it takes a day for it to show on your card.

    Just delivered, didn't get the DPD 1 hour text.
    Packaging isn't great, rattling around the large cardboard box a bit so hopefully everything is ok.....can't open it for another 5 weeks....

    DPD website showing Security Scan now from 8:20 this morning so some progress. Guessing its just the update system lagging behind.

    Dublin 15 if that helps

    I was charged for MM on 11th but money not back. Had to pay €80 again today. Just letting people know €160 is gone from me but I’m getting €80 back but if you’re talking €500 in limbo it’s a lot

    you'll have to check the parcel to make sure it's not damaged?

    The actual internal packaging is fine, not as solidly compact as the Xbox, but protected more than enough I'd say.

    If it's a present for your kids, you should really test it to see if it's OK.

    Seems to be multiple people now saying that when pushed, Gamestop will say it will arrive tomorrow. And Apparently Newstalk are going to discuss the gamestop disaster at lunch :)

    DID down now too. I had one in the basket. I wonder if it'll stay in my basket until I get past the billing page or whether it can be sold from under me.

    How come? haven't really been following things but I assume it's due to a bug?

    yep quite a few PS5's have had database rebuild errors due to rest mode and it has bricked some consoles. For piece of mind disable the rest mode until a patch updates the rest mode to properly work.

    Each to their own but I think that's absolute madness getting you the ps5 then making you wait 5 weeks to play it, thats absolute torture!

    I think I'd genuinely just pay the €500 myself and just let them get me something else?

    there was but no guarantee it fixed the rest mode issue, the patch notes just said something generic like 'improving PS5 performance'. I'm not taking chances when I get mine set up!

    Fair play to Smyths for the whole process, no problems all the way along the line.

    Where’d you hear that? I can see Newstalk are looking for people who haven’t been contacted. Seems they’re gonna cover the shambles that has been GameStop.
