    I still don't have it! Having said that the delivery date when I ordered was 18th December so it might get there before then!
    Oh no, I didn't order til the 3rd of Dec. getting really worried that it won't make it here for Santa

    I ordered 3rd December as well, delivery date says 18th December but I'm sceptical as nothing has happened with the order - still says 'order being processed'

    Yeah between that and the last time they cancelled I'm taking it as if I haven't got one yet and still looking just incase.

    My Argos reservation is due tomorrow, for anyone who collected already can I just go before I get the text and put my reservation number into the self service kiosk? Thanks!

    Up to you but I got my text at 7:42am and the store didn't even open till 10am.

    Hey, I did the reserve through Argos but never got a reservation code, did anyone else try this and get a code at a later stage? I also had one in my basket Thursday but when I clicked through it was gone :( Any spare reservation codes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Yes.

    I'm fairly sure all the self service kiosks in my argos are covered up and can't be used.

    Unfortunately if you didn't get a code you don't get a console and you won't get a reservation code at a later stage either . Hundreds did this and got nothing which is why argos have removed the link to stop people getting false reservations.

    Best of luck Getting a code too as they are as rare as hens teeth and unless you are a regular on here, you probably won't get one as loads of regular posters are looking too. I've a digital ps5 but want a disk but if I get one, I'll put the digital on here for cost to whoever needs it.

    Did anyone who ordered from Currys uk have any update yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,777 ✭✭✭highgiant1985


    I'd reserved on line on Argos during the week and just got the text there this morning that the PS5 is available to collect in store now. (Kilkenny)

    I was caught out with this too! I managed to get one sorted for my bf in the end, just keep checking threads. You won’t get a code unless you’re a regular here (he told me as he’s a regular). Might be worth keeping an eye on Argos or Tesco. Tesco are calling people who had original pre orders cancelled (who may have gotten sorted in the meantime!). Good luck

    Firstly, this again really? Its been talked about for a week now with dozens of posts. How many times does it need to be said. Secondly, do you honestly think someone is just going to give away their code if they received one? Between people asking about the Argos fiasco and the begging it's hardly worth while to even check new posts.

    The clue is in the screen that says "This item was not purchased" and it also says "Out of stock".

    I actually feel sorry for the Argos staff. Apparently they have to order through the same way that we all do, and they're given no heads up on stock coming in. I'd say every member of staff wants one, or at least knows multiple people that are after one.

    The Argos system gives you false hope, I genuinely thought I had successfully managed to reserve one the other day, then had a closer look. I’d say there’s a lot who’ve done the same. I’ve read somewhere here some Argos staff were in shock when someone collected theirs yesterday 😂

    Even Saturday Night Live are doing skits on the Ps5 availability, are there the same issues for the Xbox series X?

    One of my Xbox buds in America still hasn't got one, and I had to send a couple of Series X's to a couple of friends in the UK. I think they have it worse than here for the Xbox, but still not as bad as the PS5.

    I'd say it 2 to 1.5 people looking for ps5 to xbox. Probably people happy to get either at this point. I still find it strange so many kids want a ps5 from santy... At that age I'm not sure you'd appreciate the power of a ps5 over a ps4 or ps4 pro

    Well judging by my kids Xmas lists, it's more to do with what other kids have said they're getting from Santa. Sounds like most of the kids in my street are getting all the same stuff this year!

    i found the constant posts about needing one from Santa strange too to be honest, my kid and her classmates have zero interest in Ps5 or the new xbox, and she would be classed as a "gamer" she plays games on my ps4 but mostly plays on the switch or ds or on a tablet. This is likely their last "santa" year.

    and once you get over that age Santa presents become less of a thing you "need" to get as you can explain the global shortage to a kid who doesn't believe in Santa, so i really don't get the "i need it from Santa" posts :confused:

    most kids are happy out playing any game and don't notice speeds/graphics/screen resolution that a Ps5 will bring over the ps4

    Yes, but little Timmy across the street got a PS5, Dad!

    That's what every parent has to deal with, as if it's not bad enough having siblings comparing between each other.....or are my kids just strange? :P

    That’s the preorders that went live few days ago, correct?

    You'd be fairly wrong there. That's how myself and many others paid for and collected our consoles, over the last few days.
