Pretty sure ShopTo has cancelled my order. There is nothing under the "Orders" tab, also no email.

Did you use parcel motel? If so they are cancelling all orders and deducting 20£ admin fee as its flagged as multiple order as many people used the same address obviously.

Can anyone tell me how the warranty works for ps5 bought in UK. Will Sony Ireland fix it or will we have to take it to uk?

And how long is the warranty is it 1 year or 2 year ?

Ahhh, that makes sense. I did indeed. Its the same address but a different number of course. Oh well. Time to get onto Paypal!

If they were still part of the EU probably be fine, but after that things may change, maybe a case it was bought before they left so fine, but you would have to check as their is no guarantee how a companies policies may change.

starting to wonder about the Littlewoords order from last week. No movement at all on it.

I wouldn't worry to much about it. They got an allocation from Sonys distributor so don't even have it yet so the tracking will still only show that bit. I'm comforted by the fact that the weekend before was a fiasco because somebody found a backdoor to order the stock before the proper release which was what you bought, and I did.

I know a new PS5 needs an update of about 850 meg. I have a good internet connection but wondering how long this took to complete for those who have done it? Trying to decide if I should run the update before I give it to my son on Christmas morning.

Including downloading, installing, restart and some tidy up maybe 5 mins for me. Wireless with an average speed in the house of about 80mpbs

A couple minutes.
Your issue will be downloading/installing games.

If they have a good connection games won't be an issue. Unlike the PS4 where it would slow down to 1MB/s after a few minutes on a wired connection no matter what the PS5 was downloading at 31MB/s for me, it's the only device I have to get the full 250Mb speed. That would be 28 minutes for a full 50GB game. I downloaded several games from 6GB up to 38GB in no time.

It's nice not having to wait an hour for even small games.

I kept a few digital games on my Pro because of how long downloads took, now I don't hoard them as they're quick to download now. Also anytime I'd throw a disc in to play something it's nice to not have to wait forever for the 5-6GB update. Often by the time the update installed I wasn't bothered playing the game.

I think the concern is servers falling over on Xmas day under the demand and it being a big anti climax for the kid.


Anyone know if you can do the updates without logging in to the PSN account ?

Are you saying all games a digital download and you don't get a disc?

Unfortunately how it works is you put in the disk and it downloads the full game, bit of a bummer

Let us hope that no little scrote cripples the PSN network like what happened a few years back. Sony to their credit gave everything extra days to account for it. It was a DDOS attack I'm sure.

Yeah mine's the same. Others have said it took 10-14 days for their orders to be updated so still banking on this as it's only been a couple of days

Some extraordinary fecking about with Parcel Motel and my PS5...
Arrived in their warehouse, I was notified, then it was no communications since.
It seems an oversize parcel is awaiting me in their depot and I hope that it is the console, it is all very worrying to be honest!

I can collect mine on Thursday from Tesco this is my second PS5 I’m very lucky.

It’s not a spare either as I gave away the first one or my little cousin and sold it for €500 to his mam for Christmas from Santa, so that’s my good dead done.

This one is just for me and my boyfriend said he’s gonna buy it for me and Spider-Man for Christmas so I’m very happy indeed.

Did anybody get their unit from the smyths second batch yet ?My friend received today but I have nothing yet ?

Darren 83

After giving my pre order to family member for Santa got lucky and managed to get one for my self. Then got a message from family friend asking for help to get one also for Santy.

I got lucky and managed to get one for her should have it this week. Needless to say she was great full I know of people selling there’s at 1000 euro absolutely disgraceful knowing it’s for Xmas.

Yes it's disgraceful but I suppose people are worse paying it. I started out by pre-ordering for my husband as a Christmas present. I've actually managed to secure four - he still isn't getting one.:eek: They've all gone to friends for Santa at face value.

I'll get him one in the new year when they release more.

One fella selling his Ps5 knowing his brother was looking for one for his child for Xmas.

While not a PS5(unfortunately) I had a package sit for a week in the warehouse with no communication. I rang PM and the girl say she did not know why it was still in the warehouse, but it was in my local warehouse and I could call and collect it. So I did just that and got it. Otherwise it would still be sitting there. I had no replies to any of my emails. I got through on the phone after about 10 minutes and she was very polite.

A couple of folks on here have gotten theirs already. I’m not expecting anything until the 18th, as per the notice on that was on their website. If it turns up sooner, that’s great.
