False Prophet

Unfortunately home delivery is out for me as I don’t know whether I’ll be work from home or in the office that week and can’t take annual leave, so it must be click and collect.

Ended up waking last night around 1am and on the off chance checking my phone and saw the email from Smyths but was too late.

I know it’s a how long is a piece of string question but do we reckon Smyths will put more pre-orders up or is that it now for launch?

I’ll keep an eye on the likes of Currys, Harvey Norman etc too.

Thanks.

Buy from amazon, go via parcel motel. then you can pickup or get it delivered where you want

The click & collect option to pre-order popped up briefly on Smyths again for the disc version and I think I managed to snag one though it says "In Progress" currently.

That is normal with Smyths, it will say 'In Progress' until the charge you, at which point it will change to 'ready for collection'.

you send it to the Parcel Motel in NI but with your name and Parcel Motel customer id.

Ie.
Mitch Connor PM555001
Parcel Motel
Northern Ireland Address details.

It gets delivered to there.
Parcel Motel then deliver it to the Parcel Motel drop location you set for them (when signing up to Parcel Motel)

Set the PM address to your nearest locker, its on the site on an interactive map what locker is close to you.

You can also set for oversized parcels to go straight to your house at an extra cost.

Its under "My Account" > "Delivery Location" > "My Address for Oversize Parcels Only"

Set that to your home address, sorted.

Ive said all along I will not buy one day one.

Ive never bought a console day one.

However I am in the process of planning a house build and my wife will be leaving her job early next year to mind the kids full time til they start school so all bills will be on me for a couple of years.

On that basis I feel justified on buying day one as I will likely not be able to afford one for a number of years.

Ordered via Amazon.

:rolleyes:

Sign up and pick a locker close to you.

They will give you a UK address to use for orders, use this a delivery address online.

It gets posted to them and then delivered to your local locker



Amazon now sold out

The largest Parcel Motel locker size is: 64 × 38 × 41 cm

Amazon lists the Product Dimensions as: 42.6 x 17 x 46.9 cm

So yea it seems too big

Thanks, that's great!
I've got the pre-order confirmation e-mail now as well so look set

I guess it was somebody who got it on amazon cancelling their order and freeing up one.

i once thought the same with a robot hoover, the box demensions and amazon box demensions are different :mad::mad:

If the package is oversized they automatically send it to the depot in Finglas, at which point you can collect it or have it delivered. It doesn't require special instructions or anything. I seriously doubt a PS5 box will require any of that. The big lockers are ****ing huge.

Still a small price to pay to get one

Also you can pay about €7 more and they will deliver it. So maybe €12- €15 in total (can't remember the fees)

Smyths seems to be full as far as preorders go. Any chance they'll release some more into the wild? I thought there would be more units available given the numbers quoted

Whats the story with Smyths?

I would say it is highly likely that they will make more available, problem is there is almost no way of knowing when this will be.
