The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

ozmo

Anyones base stand keep falling off the ps5 ? - bugging me everytime someone pushes it slightly - or moves it to plug in the controller at the back - and the base its balancing on just slopes off and ps5 slides lopsided all over the place.
Terrible design not being able to lie it flat without an accessory.

I have to have mine horizontally. Don't want to use tape or anything that will stain it - but probably will have to. Where's my kragle?

I was convinced I'd have to lie it flat but I measured my shelves today and realised I should have about a half inch of clearance vertically with the stand on, so win. It does seem a bit rubbish in horizontal. I'm sure there will be better third party ones available soon?

Did you click the stand into place at the back like it shows you in the manual?

Still no shipping confirmation from gamestop. Anyone get one?

That should definitely not be happening. My stand is solidly in place on it and I mean the PS5 does not budge.

I'd take it off and do it again, theres a few Youtube vids in case you are stuck

That's good to know... Mine was delayed 6 days but I haven't heard a peep from them since. Maybe I'll get back onto them again just in case.

Doesn't click - just kind of slots in - I matched it up exactly with the marks and pushed all the way - but there is no real click that holds it firmly.

That's weird. Mine stays solid on the base and doesn't move.

I was watching a YouTube video last night of a review and he showed when it lies flat the stands is loose and can slip off if you have to move it when getting at the back of the console for example which is a bit disappointing. Sony seems to have it designed in a way that favours the console standing upright

This is the video you can skip to about 3:20 to see

Not just me - everyone on this thread has same issue ->

https://www.resetera.com/threads/when-its-lying-down-i-find-the-ps5-stand-loose-anyone-else.330779/


Mine is horizontal - so there is no screw used - I have it positioned exactly on the marks and screw door closed - but if it anyone moves it out to access anything on the shelf - it falls off.


Just found a spoof video - I think Microsoft had on their twitter at one stage about it...

Got two emails, one with an invoice and the other was a despatch email.
Someone else got a similar dispatch email earlier today
I have a feeling most, if not all, will be getting their PS5 before the weekend.

Oh man if you're going from PS3 to PS5 you're in for an absolute treat.

Get paplus and play those back catalogue games added for ps5 users.

Did you get any update from LW about missing controller?

Haven't contacted them yet, waiting to see if it's just me or they've done this to everyone. Also... I've been playing the console :-)

Slight coil whine (I think) off mine. It's practically silent compared to the PS4 Pro but not completely silent like my Series X. Slightly disappointing there.

I've always disliked the PlayStation controller compared to Xbox but they've finally changed the shape of it with dualsense, feels much nicer in the hand. I think it's mainly that it's just slightly bigger. The rumble in Astros playground can be cool at times but most of the time is a bit gimmicky, I think less is more there but I guess the whole point of the game is to showcase the controller.

I did not get a controller as well just the ps5 (1 of 1 packages from fastway)
i will have to contact them to see what the story is 590 for just the ps5 is a bit of a rip off

Royale with Cheese

It could be they did the consoles via Fastway and just posted the second controller?

lazy_sheep

second gamepad is missing for me as well.

Think it was despatched on 28th and got notified this morn that Fastway had it. No notifications in between them.

GameStop dropped digital edition stock earlier today and I somehow managed to get one after the website continuously crashing for the previous 25 minutes. Money taken out of the account, order email and confirmation number received. Had an issue with Amazon DE on Monday where I had ordered a disc one (no money taken out of the account) and I was told that the order was a dud due to some glitch in the checkout process where they over sold. With anyone’s experience with GameStop, should I be ok? and how are they on the dispatch time front? Thanks

Protest the Zero

I got an e-receipt from HN today and a notification from DPD that parcel is processing from my Sligo store despite getting a 6-day delay email a few days ago.

Re the receipt, I notice the items are itemised (ie not as bundle) so I think that might mean we can bring them in for store credit (if not even cash). Might be of interest to those who got games, controllers they don't want. It went to my spam folder.

Interesting to hear others with delays got shipping notice too, post here if you receive it!

If the console was in stock and they've taken the money. They are quick to dispatch and if it is in their (GS) possession. You should have it before the weekend.
