    Are PS5s allowed on adverts now?

    Seems to be heaps...

    Adverts are quite happy to allow scalping and profiteering unless a) it's EP tickets and the promoter threatens legal action or b) it's bad press.

    b) was the case for a good while but with the furore dying down over lack of stock they've obviously seen fit to enable it again.

    Does anyone here know when Argos might have their PS5's up for sale on their site please? I've heard a rumour that they'll have a few going up for sale tonight?

    Managed to pick up a second one from Currys last Tuesday. This is the second console I have bought and this time I was doing the legwork for a family member

    I happened to be in Currys for a totally unrelated reason last Saturday and just asked in passing while at the checkout. They had a stack of PS5 preorder forms all printed from their allocation. I filled one in, paid for the digital with extra controller bundle and that was it. I happened to be in Currys again the next day and I decided to ask if they still had ps5s and the guy held up the much thinner stack of preorder forms.

    So, it seems like allocations are up in Ireland at the moment, as hopefully it lasts and all of you get your console.

    I traded in a PS4 for store credit in Gamestop today:
    "You can use your store credit to partially pay for a PS5 online (when they're available!)"


    It's not a Gift Card though. I've no idea how to use this "Store Credit" when making a purchase online. Have I missed a trick?

    I traded in a PS4 on Saturday and got a plastic gift card, maybe they will switch it for you.

    I did this recently too, I don’t know the breakdown but I got €315 for a PS4 Pro, an extra DualShock controller, Red Dead Redemption and God of War.

    Now if only there was a GameStop that had a PS5 for me to buy.

    That's pretty good tbf. I'd let mine go for that price no bother.

    I got the console today too from the gamestop drop last week. It's bloody massive. Such a weird design, looks very weird sitting horizontally.

    Anyone else order from Littlewoods at all? My order says it'll be here by July 9th when I ordered last wednesday, it can't possibly take that long will it? It supposedly left Wendesbury on Thursday

    I got one from Littlewoods and it also had a delivery date of 9th July... but there have been no updates since Received at WEDNESBURY on 24th June so I'm not even hopeful that it'll make it for that :(
