Anyone have any luck on getting hold of a Pre Order? I’m trying to get one through Tesco with no such luck

Not sure you'll see anything for a while now. You might have luck after launch once people have collected/cancelled theirs.
I'm hoping VERY don't f**k me about. They have taken my money so I'm expecting it to be delivered on or before the 19th.

 

[Geddes]

I haven’t heard any news for quit a while about stock, been looking at the stock informer website very regularly and it always shows no stock. Yeah fingers crossed for you

Apparently curry's and John Lewis are getting them on launch date

That'll be s**t for England then when they are in lockdown.

Saying that, I was speaking to one of the parents at the school today and he isn't sure what's happening with the Curry's stores in Wales from the 9th, he said they might stay click and collect only.

the above link doesn't work.

Also had a look on Tesco's website for the PS5, it's now changed to the following as in the screenshot. No pre orders until the 19th

 

[Rich..]

Anyone else got theirs yet?

Thought launch day was today, but it's US today and UK next week. How very f**king bizarre!

That edit button was smashed quite quickly eh.

SO QUICK after I googled. There's not a lot of hype though, tbf. Anyone who buys a PS5 is a massive gaylord anyway

My massive gaylord PS5 should be delivered on launch day according to Currys 🤓

What games are people getting for it? I’ve got a release day console but no games yet lol

 

[Geddes]

I been watching Playstation Access today live on YouTube for a few hours on some of the games they been playing, trying to get some inspiration. I haven't bought or done any preorders yet for any games. I'll be playing Astro for sure, i think if i do i'll pre order AC Valhalla. Seen that gameplay today and looks canny. But still wold like to have another go on RDR2

Same.
I'll probably get AC Valhalla. I'm going to Sainsbury's tomorrow to see if they have the cross gen version of Cold War because they are doubling up the nectar points. If they have it, it'll "cost" me £30-35 of points that have been sitting in my account for years. Don't think they will have any dedicated PS5 games yet though. Annoyingly, the double up finishes the day before launch. Can't use them in Argos either.

I really hope Very send them out with a decent courier. I'm expecting it to either be hoofed over the fence or stolen. I'm not confident on unboxing a PS5 on the 19th 😫
Or, they might do what Amazon have done with my spare controller. "Handed to resident" apparently....

[Geddes]

Also there's 10 free games to do with PlayStation Plus Collection isn't there? Like Gods of War, Battlefield 1, Uncharted, Ratchet & Plank and so on

Wow didn't know you lived next to president Bush, he looks very polite

I don't know how much of a incentive that is it.
I stopped playing BF1 on the PS4 ages ago, mostly because the servers were so fucked up and sketchy you couldn't get a match anymore.

Would be pretty crap if they're slinging a load of old titles for free that are semi-broken anyway.

 

[Geddes]

I'll be defo playing a few of those games like including BF1. Quit enjoyed it and Broken Machine is playing BF1 a lot too.

On another note, is there any offers on PlayStation Plus, mine runs out early next month in December. Wonder if they will be any Black Friday deals to be had? It's still at £49.99 for 12 Months.

Shopto have it for a touch under £40. That was the lowest I could find earlier when I got mine.

 

[Geddes]

Just found this, Sony might push to have 1440p on the PS5 if there’s demand. Fingers crossed, here’s a link.

Sony ponders 1440p resolution support for PS5 with future update

Move could help drive high-refresh 1440p monitor prices lower.

[CrippsCorner]

I'll probably be getting one of these next spring; hoping there's an all black version out by then!

 

[Geddes]

By that time , never know they might be talks on doing a Pro version

Cheers for that, had a look they doing it for £40. CD keys is only £45 if i remember corretly

Yes mate got mine 👍

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Got a dispatch note though. Can't wait to pick up the pieces from my Yodel delivery tomorrow 🤮

 

[Geddes]

Yeah fingers crossed you don't. i 've seen videos on their deliveries like, not good

I wasn't sure it was going to be midnight for the pre order but i had a look today and it mentions 09:00 tomorrow. More less of a chance to get one now

 

[N0ddie]

I nipped into my local game this morning and paid for my son’s digital edition. Gonna collect it tonight so I don’t need to get up early tomorrow and endure the madness of the shops with lockdown looming on Friday.

 

[Jason_E]

Trying to help some family get any of the little stock that get released today, quite busy! Looks like mine will be staying in the box and finding a new home haha

 

[Geddes]

i popped onto the Stockinformer for the PS5 and first time i went onto the page it loaded really slowly, and went back in it and the site crashed. I'm trying at 09:00 getting nervous lol. Fingers crossed. There's so so many on Ebay going for silly money like, it's pathetic

 

[Geddes]

Anone with any luck so far?

 

[N0ddie]

I collected Jack's last night. Firmware and all his games downloaded and installed in less than 50 minutes.

Amazon will hopefully be delivering mine today.

 

[Jason_E]

Mines due in a few hours, but still trying to get some pre-orders for freinds/family.

Asdas website is very stable but they havent gone live with stock yet, they just said "morning" but nothing yet.
https://direct.asda.com/george/toys...laystation5-console/050887006,default,pd.html

The other option is Amazon, they'll go live at 12.

 

[Geddes]

I've been on Tesco's website since 08:50 with the page loaded up. At 09:00 it didn't refresh so i refreshed the page a second or two just after and it crashed. I refreshed the page every few seconds and kept crashing up until after 10:00, there was 2 instances where it came up where you press the + or - on how many PS5's you want as soon as i pressed the + to add 1 it crashed. Been on past hour and at 10:00 it said unfortunatly there out of stock, please check back soon. Unbelieivalbe. How???

So jelous some of you getting these today

 

[aucky]

Crashed on payment screen earlier 🤦‍♂️

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Mines out for delivery. I'm in work. Bet it arrives during the 30 minutes the wife is out for the school run.

I had both these things happen this morning.

 

[Jack!]

I hate that this kind of s**t seems to be the norm for buying anything with even a little bit of hype these days.

Concert tickets, trainers, games, games consoles, all just plagued by raffles, refreshing websites, s**t going wrong.

Maybe it's rose tinted specs, but I don't remember the PS4 or PS3 launches being this much of a s**t-show? Have we reached a point where having the latest console from second dot it's available just has way too much influence over peoples lives or is it the supply that's the issue?

The hysteria I've seen from quite a large amount of people about getting their PS5 a few hours before everyone else is mind-blowing, what are people trying to get ahead of?

I'd like a PS5, but f**k all this camping websites pressing F5 nonsense.

 

[Geddes]

If it was me and crashed at that stage at the payment stage I’d of thrown something. This is what I’m getting and can’t no where further. Might be a chance still?!?!?!???
