    Does anybody know where you could potentially pre-order now, or is there no hope?

    If there is any questions about where can I get a PS5 only refer to this thread. A lot of work has actually gone into it.

    Problem is traffic will keep this and the preorder thread at the top of the page and the other one won't see anywhere near as much will drop down. Needs top be stickied.

    Yeah that thread really needs to be stickied. Answers almost all of the questions that will be coming in about getting the PS5.

    Yeah there seems to be someone asking in this thread at least once a day if there are any preorders available. Would it make sense to put message in thread title directing to qa thread that is also stickied.

    Size comparison between the DualSense and new XB controllers (source).

    This is kind of a pointless comparison to me. If it was between the PS4 & PS5 controllers it would be better in my opinion.

    Quick Q.. can my son use his PS4 games on the PS5?

    Yes. If they are disk games you need to get the disk PS5. Digital ones will work on either.

    Hope there's a decent number of filters, even if there's not more options for brightness and colour correction at least if there's a decent number of filters it could help.

    I've had to use pc to editing some games as they're too dark by default.

    Not sure if this is was ever mentioned but seems the PS5 will support 1440p and also 120Hz at 1440p on HDMI 2.0.

    While I believe this is true, it's coming from a press release from BenQ who are a big monitor manufacturer and in which they also use the above to help downplay the lack of HDMI 2.1 and that they've only HDR400 displays.

    This is actually a good question.....my gut instinct would be no though, especially with Brexit, the separation of the economic zones has always been fairly stark on the PS stores so I'd probably not risk it personally

    "PlayStation 4 games are not region locked, but downloadable content (DLC) and service entitlements (including in-game currencies) are locked to their PlayStation Store region. If the region of the PS Store which sold the DLC does not match the region of the game disc, the downloaded content will not be compatible. As a result, it is recommended that you only purchase games from reputable retailers in your country."

    Found this on playstation site

    As mentioned previously I've preordered the ps5 through a relative in dubai.i haven't owned a PlayStation in years so I don't have an account.

    So my query is if I buy miles morales ultimate here in smyths for example will I be able to download the dlc or will it be deemed incompatible. Or once I setup the ps5 and my account as Irish will I be set to the Irish ps store

    The account is completely separate from the physical location you purchase the console. Once you get it and set up an irish account, you'll be able to redeem irish codes, i.e. anything from smyths here will work

    I’m just checking the box/package dimensions and putting them into the Parcel Motel calculator and it looks like this will be an oversize item. So €7 to collect and if you want it home delivered another €7.95 on top of that.

    Are there any special measures when picking up oversized items these days? Haven't had anything that big since last year. Are there queues outside at all? Gather there would be for the PS5 launch?

    If you ordered from Amazon you can now just change the delivery address to your Irish one! That’s what I did. Also they have started using their own Amazon delivery vans and drivers in Ireland from last week so delivery’s should be a lot quicker.

    It's normal they text to say when it's available. When you get there they have the mobile no of whoever is working on the door you call that and give relevant details like pmID and code you were sent.

    They then get parcel,the day I was there lots arrived at same time. Luckily most just stood there queueing not realising you had to call first so I was quick.

    Just tried and it is telling me not possible to deliver as it contains items not possible to deliver to my destination.

    Have many others successfully changed? If so I may get on to Amazon CS and get them to change it.

    I can’t seem to change Amazon address from parcel motel to my own address in Cork. Is it only for Dublin if Amazon are using their own delivery vans?
