    I haven't been on this thread for months. I also haven't been actively pursuing a ps5 for a while either. Where would be the best shop to make enquiries. Id like to have one for the resident evil 8 release

    Any signs of the stock situation levelling out soon? I was reading the other day that stock in Japan was stabilising (although I don't think demand was as high as they had hoped for).

    Hoping to pick one up in mid May and just wondering if I should still be looking out for stock drops from the end of this month or will it be a bit easier to get one soon

    A lot caught up in Suez apparently. If my info is correct, I'd expect to start seeing these fairly soon

    Great! Fingers crossed they have tons of bundles! The one with the two controllers seems the best to me. No interest in any games with it. Tons of games in the PS Plus collection to play first.

    Cheers,

    It looks like they took down those bundle pages.

    EDIT: Looks like they are up again and updated the expected in stock date to May instead of April.

    If you are able to get one between now and December I would grab it and keep it. It is not as if there is going to be a price reduction between now and then!

    https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/ps5-stock-uk-big-playstation-5-restock-report-for-argos-game-and-smyths/ar-BB1g34tP

    Summary - April to be in short supply - but Argos, Game and Amazon due to have thousands in May (UK sites).


    Useful is it includes some tips on how best to get one before the site crashes (below) - that might help also with the Irish equivalent sites:


    Here are a few examples of how best to try and buy a PlayStation 5 console from leading UK retailers:

    AMAZON UK: Amazon UK runs better under strain but still comes with a few kinks worth mentioning. Having an account set up with your card details is a good start, and gamers should also try adding a console to their wishlist before checking out.

    GAME: GAME is a UK retailer that offers the most regular stock updates for PS5 consoles. However, console hunters have been warned to use Guest Checkout, as this option is less likely to crash when completing a purchase. GAME is currently expected to get its next major restock during May 2021.

    ARGOS: The Argos website is notorious for crashing and being unable to complete purchases when site traffic is high. Stock trackers suggest using the mobile Argos app and keeping an eye on local store listings. Argos is not expected to receive any more stock until May 11.

    I’m not sure when the preorders were live it was saying something along the lines of

    “Preorder now Expected in stock: 30th to 7th May”

    I’d imagine the above dates will change shortly

    managed to pre order at 8am today,
    got an email confirming,

    then about 1pm money was gone from the account and I had an email to say my console was ready for dispatch and given a dpd tracker.

    if I'm lucky I'll get it tomorrow

    My sister ordered one for her little fella on Thursday (pre ordered) and she is seeing the exact same message!?

    Then a good mate of mine got one yesterday and yet his is in his hand now!? WTF!!

    Is there a difference between the pre order of Thursday and yesterday some how?

    Cheers,

    Shouldn't be any difference, I would have thought the staggered stock drop was so they could take care of Thursday first and then be free to handle Friday's. So strange that someone who ordered yesterday would have their's as DPD should have picked up Thursday's batch already?

    According to their facebook page they are offering click n collect starting tomorrow. You could ask if they have any if you are in collecting something else. As for when you will be able to drop into a store and pick a ps5 off the shelf its very hard to say.

    What kind of voucher is it?

    It’s a smyths gift voucher. Had I known when I bought it that you can’t use it for pre ordering I wouldn’t have got it! It was a Christmas present.

    Complete joke.When I purchased the voucher in store in December for €500 I asked the sales person about purchasing the console online and they said it could and never mentioned pre ordering is excluded. A Lot of money to be spending on a voucher not be mentioning it.

    I used my gift cards to buy my ps5 fine. As was said it's not on preorder anymore. You also can't use them to buy the digital games / PSN stuff using gift cards.

    Does anyone know what the story is? Tried multiple sites (Currys, Smythes, Amazon etc.) but they all seem to be advertising it. No option to pre-order.


    Stock is coming in for June so I'm guessing its first click first served.


    Anyone have new info?

    It isn't going to get any easier, supply drought apparently into 2022 and thats with them considering a re-design to make it easier to build.

    Would suggest anyone interested keep an eye on the PS5 twitter and jump on the opportunity when it comes to it.
