Ordered PS5 from Currys Mahon on Monday. Just got confirmation it'll be in on Sunday for collection.

Money just taken for this morning's Smyth's preorder.

I ordered it yesterday from Smyths and haven't heard anything yet.

Edit: They just took payment

Payment taken for me too. I wonder when we get them? I'm based in Dublin.

Monday i'd guess.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, what's the story with getting a hold of a PS5 now? Is it still very difficult?

It is a lot easier now that it has been at any other point since launch, but you still have to keep your ear to the ground. The pre-orders are going up more frequently and are lasting longer, also the resell value is starting to tumble, so people now have a reasonable chance of getting one.

Keep an eye on the preorder thread and you should be able to get one soon.

Thanks I'll keep an eye out.

My brother had ordered from the Smyths drop I posted Thursday. Was thinking there was something up when others who had ordered had got dispatch emails and he didn't. They cancelled his order this morning. He's raging, thought he had the nephew sorted for his birthday. Should have ordered one myself as a backup, oh well.

Anyone know how to get onto a preorder list in Smyths? Tried calling and no answer, their website says their shops are all closed, delivery only.

That isn't how Smyths have been selling them. When available they go up on the site and it is first come first served, there are no lists.

I'm not sure if this works for PS5, but when I got my Xbox I went into Curry's in Jervis and put my name down and paid for the console. I was able to pick it up in a few days.

Might be worth a try for PS5.

Yeah, seems Curries are doing a list. Do I need to go into the shop to get on the list?

Yeah, just go in there and ask. You pay the full price on the spot.

I just tried and their list was closed. They reckon it'll move very slowly because they're all going to the uk stores

Stick an email alert on for this thread and keep an eye on it, when they go up for order on Smyths you will see it here first.

Available now in Smyths. I ordered one earlier.

It was available 3 hours ago and not "Now".

Got one from Smyths earlier.

I had a notification set up from a twitter page, but you'd want to move quick when they go online.

I was extremely lucky.

That's how I got mine.

Lads, checked out Argos today and my local store said consoles were available to reserve for next week. So I went to try and reserve one for a friend, got the email saying it's reserved and all but no reservation number. Anybody know if that's legit?

Not legitimate if no reservation number.

Thought that might be the case, was banking on it being a glitch though. :rolleyes:

Finally got one from the Gamestop drop, digital + extra controller bundle.

Not too happy they only had bundles left when I got in, but an extra controller will be useful anyway.

A month ago I had one in the basket from Smyths, but it went out of stock when I was the confirming payment.

I've been looking for a PS5 (more or less actively) since January, pretty ridiculous how scarce they still seem to be.

I think it's going to be PS4 games for a while though, but at least they should load faster if nothing else..

Gamestop order I placed for a friend yesterday just shipped there
