Astro's Playroom is sincerely the first 'new console' experience that's made me feel like I've actually bought a new console since the Wii. Have been through PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox one, Switch purchases since then and I've not enjoyed a new launch this much in I don't know how long. I love my switch and that was a great start but I play that handheld with joycons docked 99.999999% of the time so most of the switch benefits don't affect me.

Yeah the Playroom VR had the same effect as this for me. So much fun for everyone to sit around and play.
Amazing showing off the controller vibration changing for different surfaces.
Really cool!

Has anyone who managed to secure a PS5 from Smyths on Saturday received a dispatch email?

Nothing yet for me, funds are still in the account too.

Anyone have any word on their digital version been shipped from the GameStop drop last week. They told me it would be shipped today, but no word.

A twitter page at @ps5_ireland posted a DM with Smyths saying they'd be shipped between the 9th and the 15th of this month. I also believe Smyths take funds out when the order is confirmed for dispatch or something like that.

Did anybody not receive any correspondence from HN/DPD and still receive their console?

I was on the phone to HN again today as I’ve still not received any email from DPD or themselves apart from the update on my invoice saying collected, he told me they shipped it 2 days ago on the 6th.. DPD are saying they haven’t received any package for me yet, and to contact the sender. Feel like I’m being bounced back are forward.

They probably said this to you already but check your spam folder on your email. My shipping notification email from HN went in there and it had a new tracking number. not the same one I got after payment. Got a text then this morning from DPD with an hour timeslot on when it would be delivered today and I got it got it about 15 minutes ago

If anything like last week, Smyths will cancel one of them anyway. I think they are selling one per customer (going by card used to pay).

Ahh I see, well we had same card but just updated her order to use her card instead, lets see. I don't mind if they cancel one, just hope not both!

Yes, finally got to order one from GameStop, from the pre order queue last September

skerry · 08-02-2021 07:37PM

PS5 just touched down from Amazon.de order last Tuesday. Had been scheduled to arrive the 11th so was a nice surprise to see it out for delivery this morning. Now to ship the smallies off to bed and get it set up

AlexTG356 · 08-02-2021 07:38PM

GameStop just shipped my digital edition order from last Wednesday. UPS are doing it, can't remember last time I dealt with them and if they're efficient or not.

UPS are very professional. You should have no issues.

User142 · 08-02-2021 07:57PM

HN rang me this morning and asked if I wanted to go in and collect instead of wait for delivery. I had received a 5 day delay email.

UPS collected my Smyth's PS5 order in Dublin last Monday and delivered to me in rural Co. Kilkenny at around 11am the following day. Very good service.

Guessing it comes with a European plug when you order off the German amazon?

Yeah, had a little adaptor so I used that. That and instruction books don't have English on them but who uses those these days. Thought the PS4 cable would work but different connector it seems. All set up now, downloading Demon Souls

I'm in Clare. If your checking the tracking through Amazon I found that slow to update. More up to date tracking through An Post Track and Trace

Damo 2k9 · 09-02-2021 11:40AM

Anyone in Dublin heard much else from HN re: delivery? Still havent heard a thing, after been given the run around from them last week.

melchior1951 · 09-02-2021 11:58AM

I just got in touch with HN after it showed "Collected on 5th February" in my account online and I didn't collect it. They sent me a DPD tracking number then and it's due for delivery today. Didn't get a shipping confirmation or anything else until then.
