No, it should be €1.99 delivery.

The delivery charges they list excluded consoles and large items, where the charges vary. Not sure if it's just for preorder but's consoles are free apparently.

Very.co.uk are a parent/sister company of Littlewoods so stock being released by Littlewoods could be imminent.....

Wouldn't put faith in Littlewoods.
Their prices are above RRP at times, and they cancel orders for no reason.

Didn't want to wait and see when Amazon would charge me so just topped up my account balance and applied it to the order to pay it off now - you get a sweet £7.20 or £9 bonus for doing so depending on if you got digital or disc :pac:

Disaster, DISASTER lads!!

Preorder is with GS from Feb, so i'm feeling a little confident of getting it on release (19th).

BUT the missus has booked a dirty weekend away the 20th

And it def doesn't look like it'll fit in the travel bag

Only one of those two things will play Demon's Souls so it's an easy choice. No dilemma.

Make it a really dirty weekend by focusing on phone sex. She goes and calls you while you stay home.

Then don't answer. It'll just distract you.

If the wife doesn't fit in the travel bag, just leave her at home.

More PlayStation time. Win-win.

No worries chief. I'll take one for the team. Let her know I'll be going.

I was too late. Hope Smyths will receive another shipment soon.
Few more scalpers now up on the adverts by the way.

But won't you have loads of uninterrupted time at home to play PS5 if your Missus is away having a dirty weekend?

......Oh wait a minute, is she bringing you along?

I wonder if the reason that Amazon won't ship the PS5 here is due to the (tiny) lithium battery in the DualSense. I notice they are shipping the media remote and camera to Ireland no problem, but not the DualSense.

If so I believe it's an error on their part, lithium battery shipping restrictions shouldn't apply to batteries sealed inside devices. They're shipping xboxs and PS4s here no bother, for years.

I've no interest in getting it on release, but my son wants it for Christmas.

Would I be best to avoid the absolute maniac situation going on now trying to reserve one, and wait until after release, closer to christmas and then trying to get one?

I'm the same. I popped into gamestop after work yesterday and paid a deposit to get my name on the list.
She said there was no guarantee for one before Christmas. It doesn't really bother me if its before Christmas great if not January if fine.

Amazon has been increasingly funky with Ireland since Brexit with odd items not being shipped that wouldn't breach any restrictions. Could be anything at all.

They've refused to ship some stuff I've wanted (direct off them) and I was then able to buy it off them from their warehouse.

Unless shops receive further allocations, pretty much none unfortunately.

This may all be a marketing tactic too, wouldn't be surprised if sony came to the rescue and another million ps5's magically appeared

This is my bet and I'm completely guilty of buying into the panic.

Nothing would make me happier if there was oversupply after all and all those scalpers with 10 pre-orders are forced to cancel or try sell them off

I wouldn't worry about scalpers people are fighting back with bots so they never get paid.

Is there anywhere I can get a list of what the launch games are expected to be and what will be out for Xmas?

Need to pick some games for my 11 year old
- or at least games I can steer him towards requesting 😂
