    Who was it that flagged the Tesco listing first? Honestly would be interested in giving him a little Christmas gift for the A+ call.

    Those that have had cancellations from Tesco what's your status when you click into orders? I've had a cancellation but still showing as Pending Collection in status.

    Mine is showing to collect still on 24th but I got cancellation email.

    Anyone get update off scanuk. I did says I 64 in queue

    I have 3 - 1 for myself, 1 for my brother and the other will likely go to my partner's family. If not, I won't be listing it online, I'll just pick someone at random from here as the fairest way. But it's very unlikely it won't go to my partner's family.

    The "fairest way" would be for you and those like you to have played fair and just ordered 1 PS5 for yourself and stop cynically and deviously snatching up stock that other people could have availed of.

    Exactly. Why would he give preference to someone on here. He put in the hard work to get them. It's not like he is putting them on adverts. ha

    Don't be silly mate.

    Have you ever ordered a drink for a mate at the bar?

    Got a few groceries at the shop for the family?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭katiek102010


    My husband just told me they are selling for 2k upwards on ebay.

    Those people just make me sick, so unfair on the rest of us.

    Cry me a river.

    I'll look after my friends and family first, thank you very much.

    They're going to people who genuinely want them, I wouldn't have the gall to scalp them.

    he did not just happen to get one, he went out of his way to go online and get one thus stopping some of us getting it so that he 'might give it to his birds family'

    thats bad form

    Get a grip?

    Pointing out that 1 person buying 3 PS5's when they don't even know what they're doing with the 3rd one is effectively taking it out of the reach of others?

    Whats your issue with that exactly?

    I went out of my way to get 2.

    The third is a Tesco order which I got before the 2 HN orders - and let's be fair - no one expected it to be fulfilled. It was only confirmed as fulfilled at 3pm/4pm way after everywhere else was sold out - so that's why it's "spare".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68 ✭✭bonzothebuzz


    yes still in my orders also even though they said they had cancelled it in the email, is there still hope?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭Cmacc4


    Man I'd love a PS5 right now

    That's a terrible example.

    How about if I went to the bar and found out there was only 10 pints left in the very last keg so realising there was a shortage I go all Gollem-like and order them all even though I can't drink them before closing and I don't even know what I'm going to do with the remainder.

    Meanwhile there's 9 people stood at the bar wondering why they can't enjoy a nice pint.

    I'm actually shocked to see there's people on the PS5 threads that haven't the self-awareness to shut up about how they're ruining the PS5 launch for their fellow gaming fans - Some of whom are kids that aren't getting one for Christmas cause when they're in school some Genius is online snatching up all the stock like a born legend of utter brilliance.

    How about the people reportedly selling them for thousands on Ebay - Do you think they're just fine too?

    Did anyone get confirmation for Tesco in Newbridge? Seems to be from here that Naas got better fulfillment (also a larger store) Partner got email at 9.39 & 2x cancellation around 12.45ish. She’s in work now so she won’t get any calls :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭Dave0301


    Was lucky to get an order sorted early, and I can understand people's frustration about multiple purchases.

    However, if getting them for a friend or family member it isn't worth getting upset over. Scalping them is obviously very different.

    People selling for a profit are scum. People giving to friends and family for cost price aren't.

    More than a whiff of sour grapes coming from your post.

    I got an Amazon order for my friend/brother in law and one in Smyths for myself. If I had managed to bag another one today I would have snapped it up for a nephew or maybe my wife's family.

    Am I a terrible person because some kid I don't know might be without one? If I hadn't gotten one, my nephew would have been one of those kids. What even is your problem?

    Profiteering is disgusting, sorting out friends and family isn't.

    You were lucky. My work computer wouldn't let me on any site. Tried on my mobile crashed on tesco, managed to get one in basket for DID and it wouldn't let me input address. 3 were swiped from my amazon basket and shoved to my wishlist.

    My gamestop pre-order isn't coming before Christmas 😭😭😭😭😭😭

    I think I need a vodka
