    Untwist thy pants my friend, I was joking about what the guy I quoted said.

    > Rumour that smyths will have disc versions in Jan
    > Someone points out that Jan ends next week
    > THAT MUST MEAN THEY'RE ARRIVING NEXT WEEK!!!11

    Wasn't just lying about them arriving.

    Are Smyths getting a drop this week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28 MrGaryFox


    Are Smyths getting a drop this week?

    No one knows for sure. Still on site that available January so that would indicate dropping at some stage in next 6-7 days.

    Let me know if you get a update.
    I’m on the same boat

    The amount of time some of you have spent - and the stress undergone - in order to get one at cost price is definitely not worth it.

    All things considered, it would've been much cheaper to pay an extra couple of hundred quid for one.

    It’s literally checking websites to see if a console is in stock lad (which they are more than entitled to do) calm down. It’s not as if everyone who’s trying hard to find a PS5 is going end up with long lasting problems just cos they can’t one or because they keep looking for one...

    I'd rather be 6 feet under, with hell freezing all around me before I'd ever give a scalper even a solitary €1 profit.

    No way am I ever vindicating their scummy business model.

    I understand your point but I fully disagree with you, it’s morality and ethics what this is about ..., sorry for the off topic

    I've checked almost daily for updates. I'm far from stressed. Doesn't cost me anything extra to check. I'll happily wait until I can buy it from a shop. I have the money put aside for the console. But for some they probably just about can afford the shop price never mind throwing another few hundred quid at it

    Mad that we're 2 months since the launch date and there is little to no stock appearing in the space of that 2 months in Ireland. Absolute joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    It isn't a joke.

    It's a mix of production issues, brexit, covid and lockdowns all over the world.

    Nobody cares if you don't get your console next week. And you very likely won't.

    Argos can't sell anyway even if they get it, so the selection of resellers is not great.

    There still could be preorders to be fulfilled before you get one as well.

    Why would brexit be an issue? It's a US company with manufacturing in china.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    Because we have now limited access to stock from the UK now, and even if we do it might cost more and you will wait for ages to get it.

    Not to mention they come through UK anyway so brexit does affect all deliveries into Ireland.

    Just noticed it is no chat thread, oops.

    Anyway it isn't here, it isn't in the UK, we are under lockdown and it won't be sold in stores for at least 2 weeks even if stock shows up, unless the store delivers (Argos won't).

    So in short ranting about it being unavailable makes no sense.

    Lads any idea if this is legit ?

    Rule of thumb: If you have to ask whether it’s legit, it’s 99% likely to not be legit.

    Guys/Girls easy for me to say this cause I got one this week but keep the faith and put in the hard work.

    Keep trying your local stores that are open and befriend the manager ha. No harm in asking if you can leave your number behind in the event someone doesn't pick up, that's how I got one.

    It's a **** show at the moment but I genuinely believe good news will come soon. Its only a matter of time before the stock that is probably sitting in the ports will be released and it'll probably all arrive at the same time so keep checking this forum and I'm sure you'll get one. There's some decent folk on this chat that will help you.

    2 stars on Trustpilot. I'm not saying it's a scam site, just that they seem to be selling phantom stock that they have no idea whether they'll be able to supply. Seems like they have a bad reputation for taking ages to refund too. I'd avoid.

    Why are you picking on Vinny's post for your backseat modding? There's been plenty of other chat on this thread.

    This post contained no stock updates so I will be reporting it.

    In other news, HN haven't had anything since before Xmas right?

    That’s fair enough. Wasn’t moderating or attempting to, just a reminder to keep the posts related to stock where possible as I’m trying to pick up a third PS5 ASAP.

    Yeah nothing from HN since the digital version I picked up from them in the middle of December. And in terms of Smyths, I haven’t seen anything since the disc version I got the week before that.

    I wish you luck in your search.

    Hard not to chat if there is no stock anywhere anyway tbh ;)

    There is only one way to keep this thread alive. By chat until the stock comes in.

    Otherwise it is gonna be silence for a while.


  • Registered Users Posts: 580 ✭✭✭puzl


    I hear FourFourFM is getting new stock soon.

    Sorry about that, just read a few comments on people getting down about the lack of activity with release dates and wanted them to stay positive and keep the faith.

    I see your point apologises.

    Did anyone hear if Currys Cork got stock? I went in last week when Dublin shops got stock and they didn't have any but didn't hear if they got stock after that.

  • Registered Users Posts: 43 Pomberg77


    So Curry's PS5 stock came into the first locations on Tuesday last week. I wonder what are the chances of a few coming in this week.
