The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Ah lads, my one changed to "no longer available". Definitely knew there was something up. Your man on the phone was obviously just regurgitating what he saw on the screen - the same thing I was looking at. He basically told me what I already knew at the time.

I even had the Order Confirmation email an' all. I guess it doesn't matter what the automated part does; if it's not there, it's not there.

Oh well. I wonder how long it'll take to process a refund

I wonder were any English Littlewoods orders cancelled ? Or just Irish ones ?

Confirmed over the phone that everyone who ordered through the quick order trick has been cancelled as they never got more stock than the initial launch.

Anyone know how long the refund will take ?

I was sceptical but as hopeful as everyone else I'd end up with a PS5 but in hindsight, we ordered though a glitch or at least took advantage of a workaround. Something Littlewoods didn't know was possible or at least overlooked on their website. They fecking know now!! Refunding all those €500 charges:)

Not really cos prior to the weekend you could do the glitch but always showed as out of stock and wouldn't let you add to your basket

Oh didn't know that.

Let's all fight together! We demand at least €30 voucher from LW.

Why order from Littlewoods again if their systems are selling stock they don’t have? Complete amateur setup.

Not really a glitch either for people who had it in their wish list, it behaved as expected.

So what compensation we getting for this ordeal

ffs Tesco and now Littlewoods for me, Sony really need to get their **** together here, the hunt continues :mad:

I just want to order one so I can actually enjoy my fúcking day for once. Every day I have my computer on behind me and I can't get half an hour into a game without pausing, turning around and hitting F5. Right up until 2.30 when I have to stop altogether and go do my job, before coming home at night, watching telly, going to bed, waking up at half 8 the following morning to do the same thing over again.

Getting kinda sick of doing it now.

This is getting ridiculous now. Normally I wouldn't be that bothered, but it's just the sheer unavailability of the thing that's baffling me. It's Sony's biggest launch yet so many of us around the world are having so much trouble getting one.

COVID - absolutely a massive factor into all this, as brick and mortar stores are closed, therefore nobody is able to just go in and buy one. So we're stuck with the only option being online ordering, and it's butchered due to the loopholes that scalpers find their way through, fúcking all of the rest of us over.

lol This is such a trivial annoyance that's turning into a bigger issue than it should be. We shouldn't be nearly 2 weeks gone from launch and still not finding a single console at the retail price.

I'm off to work lads. That refund better come quick

What loss did you suffer?

Loss of my sanity refreshing their website and dealing with their phone line.

Off the phone to Littlewoods for the craic. They were very nice about it, said they had a certain amount but it was oversold. Fair enough!

Guys its not about the console, everyone knows the chase is the best part of it
