    The official line from Smyth's is that you'll get a text when it's ready for collection.

    Typically I’ve found when pre-ordering with Smyths, they text/email after they close the night before release to say it’s ready.

    We tend to get that text/mail the night before after the store closes, usually.
    Though I remember getting the text the evening before while I was down near the shop and called over after getting it as think was near Christmas and they were still open. Was told it wasn't actually ready and those were just sent out automatically but would be ready the next day.

    I know I may come across as stupid, but I've seen him mentioned a few times online. Is he big in America? I don't think I've heard of him, though I rarely listen to the radio these days.
    Or is this one of those cases where I get called out for being ignorant because he's the greatest artist in the world and the biggest name ever?

    Yeah I'd say he would be more famous in America than here, sure he had a meal named after him in Mcdonald's recently and he has done virtual concerts in Fortnite. Sure it could just be PlayStation trainers seeing as he also has partnership with nike

    The largest locker is the exact height and width of the ps5 box alone so with the additional packaging from say Amazon this is gonna be an oversized item for sure. Will probably mean adding another day or so on for home delivery.

    So excited for Day one but I know the first day will be spent watching games and updates download. I guess best thing is to settle one one for dsy one and let the rest download when in bed. Hope download speeds are a little quicker than ps4..

    Have Cyberpunk peeordered but having second thoughts. Many going with it?

    Cyberpunk will be the first game i play on the PS5. Picking it up same day from smyths and bit weird going straight for a ps4 game but been hyped for it for a long time. I usually like to concentrate on one game at a time but think demons souls will compliment it nicely. If i get killed to much in DS, throw on CP. I always found with the souls games that a small break can do wonders, even 1 night. I remember her stuck on multiple bits for hours, quitting, coming next day and doing it no problem first time.

    People who pre-ordered with Curry's will be emailed a code that reduces the price to RRP. It's to stop scalpers.

    Sort of similar here. I put about three hours into Ghost of Tsushima and was enthralled by it. Learned that ps5 would be playing it at 60fps so decided to hold off continuing as its such a magnificent game that will play so well on PS5. I'll

    My copies of Cyberpunk (which won't arrive on time anyway) AC Valhalla, Spider Man and COD will have to wait :)

    I'll be playing Miles Morales first most likely and will be downloading Cyberpunk day 1 aswell. MM will probably be quick enough to go through compared to CP, and I've the disk version pre-ordered so that will be the quickest one I'll get to play anyway. But Astro's Playroom will be getting a look first when nothing else is ready!

    I'm planning on getting a new 4k tv around Black Friday, and may pick up Demon Souls around then too.

    Nowhere is taking guaranteed pre orders at this stage. Waiting lists are your best bet and no guarantee when they'll be fulfilled.

    They can't (well, they're not supposed to at least) go into the details of the embargo as they're under NDA.



    But from what I've gathered they can start going into things next week.

    So of course the source for this comment is youtube comments
    27th for unboxing, 6th for some more stuff, and then various embargos for launch games. It's all over the place. :)

    GamingTrendVideos, the crreator of the below video said that in the comments
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuVHd4LnvTI

    So console functinality and games can only be talked about in the last week before launch.
    Though 10 days between unboxing and the next thing seems a long time

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

    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.

    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
