PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

Xavi6

Picked up my disc version console today (Amazon Australia) and it’s a beast size wise! The graphics are stunning (I’ve a 27” curved monitor) and I like the feel of the controller a lot. Diving into COD and FIFA over the next few days, Christmas came early

People are starting to get the consoles now. I think I'll bow out until I have mine, i've avoided all the features videos, I prefer to discover these things myself with new tech, and after a while I'll check if I missed anything.

GameStop.ie just processed my payment through PayPal.
It's getting exciting!
What day did GameStop deliver Xboxes this week? We're they on time and was it a courier?

Click and collect or delivered?

Delivery.

I missed my chance for click and collect so I had to settle, but with everything happening I’m happier it’ll just be sent to me.

No email with tracking link yet.

For shipping orders I'd say. Nothing on my CC for my store collection anyway.


On the SSD. Yes you can see a video where a guy adds an m.2 and the firmware, right now at least, rejects anything in that slot. I used to spec systems and Servers, companies frequently list compatible items but there's way more thst actually work because they cannot test them all.

Example Supermicro servers. They list items that work, small lists and handily enough they sell those items eh. So if an M.2 with compatible speeds fits in there it should work. Once Sony unlocks the slot, with a software patch, then people will be able to start testing.

Demand will rise, supply will rise , prices will come down. Example a good drive is an Samsung 850 Evo/Pro but they're mad money. Personally I'd prefer to reinstall a game everytime for the money.

Got email saying payment failed for Smyths ordered. They tried to take payment from my revolut card which I had used for initial pre Order. Odd thing is, I had updated the card details to different account a few days later and even though it checked the card, it still had original card details. Updated with new card details and money taken straight away. So if anybody changed payment details, payment might fail.

I wonder will smyths ship early to deal with delayed post? Might work out well for some of ye.

Any one know of there is a difference to the playstation plus collection titles? If I have god of war digital on my ps4 and transfer it over is it the same version in the ps5 offer? Or does the ps5 collection version have a higher frame rate, for example.

I believe they're the same.

I edited my payment details on my delivery pre order, as I couldn't remember at the time if I had entered my Revolut or regular card details, so I changed it and entered the regular card details just to be sure. Nothing taken from my account yet but I haven't had a rejection email either. Got the remote delivered this week with no problems on the same card.

Going to be flat out checking my account and emails now until I see something!

Even if it gets rejected, you have 24 hours to update payment details.

DPD. Not sure if that's good or bad!

I got games and accessories from Smyths twice this week and both delivered by DPD. Took one day for delivery after shipping notification and both items got a delivery slot of 14.15-15.15 and I’m south Dublin.

I am using my Revolut also, have enough money on card for order, but unsure if I should change payment details

I find DPD good. I haven’t gotten a delivery email yet but I got a text from DHL last night with tracking number. No idea if DHL are any good. Have never used them before.

DPD for me as well, not exactly happy about it as I don't find them very reliable. Anyway, only thing left to do is wait.

Update. My Smyths accessories(Controller and Charging station), with An Post, were delivered this morning. Other years An Post would be Saturdays later in the month and in December but obviously being so busy they're ramping up deliveries.

DPD lad lives in my estate. He usually packed the van at night then delivers stuff early to me. Happy out.

All I need now is for them to charge my card and send me an email :pac:

A van full of PS5s parked outside someone’s house at night. What could possibly go wrong 😂

Any idea what DPD are like for changing address or picking up from a depot? I moved since placing my order and Smyths wouldn't let me change it. Torn between hanging out near the old address and waiting for the call or trying to change it.

You can manage your delivery once they email you to say it’s out for delivery. I think it gives you the option to change your delivery address then. Not sure hanging around the old address would work even if you have ID when they try and deliver.
