The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Madman08

I got the e-mail from Gamestop a little while back telling me I'll be getting the PS5 on launch. Not heard or seen a dickie-bird since. Anyone else been contacted by them yet ??

P.S. my local Gamestop is closed so can't ring them to suss it out.

The concensus is to wait til after the xbox launch and we can expect them to start getting in contact.

My store is one of the closed ones, however they've emailed me with a coupon to the value of the two games I've ordered so that I can order them online (had to pay for delivery but what harm).
I expect the same will be done with the console.

Pre-ordered PS5 back in Dec 2019 at Pana Gamestop; I had to contact them twice to get an info on pre-order. Got an email asking me which edition I wanna go for, but no reply since.

I don't even know how to pay for it or if someone will be in touch to take payment. What a mess!

Just got emails from gamestop, three, one for the headset, another for the charging dock and another for a controller.

I got a code for each of them but only the controller one worked for me to submit the purchase. The other two failed with invalid coupons. Le sigh

I hope I’m able to find one before December 25th

I'll be carefully monitoring my inbox over the next few days !! Don't mind too much if it's a few days late. A little communication from Gamestop would help though...

Just got codes too, for Demon souls and Miles morales. Wanted to upgrade MM to ultimate, but no preorder option for that, says coupon only

Got an email from Gamestop with a coupon and voucher for my pre order of miles morales ultimate edition.

I input the coupon which allowed me to add miles morales to my shopping basket but then it said an unknown error occurred and now I have nothing in the basket and the coupon can't be used again

I still have the voucher but it's annoying

hmmm reading the fine print:



So according to that, I've lost my preordered accessories. Oh we shall see about that!

You can pay 20 from the game dashboard to upgrade to ultimate if you still fancy.

The code worked again after a few minutes so there must be a timeout built into it. Crisis averted! :pac:

Anybody pre order an xbox with them ? The delivery for spider man was 3.50 so I wonder what the fee for the ps5 itself will be.

Where’s the best place to preorder Spider-Man from? And is the Spider-Man remaster disk or download

I was very impressed how Smyths handled my Series S pre-order today. I had selected to collect at the store. I went down at 12:30 to Smyths in Airside, Swords.

I went in the door, the guy at the door asked if I was there to collect an Xbox. I said yes and he told me to go to till #1. The woman scanned my phone, checked my ID and handed me the Series S about 30 seconds later. In and out in a couple of minutes.

I assume it will be the exact same when I go to collect the PS5 next week.

I'd go for Smyths and the remaster is a download code in the box.

what do they scan on your phone?
do they give you a time to collect or can you go down at anytime?

When did you get the collection email from smyths? Night before or were you waiting day of before heading in?

Theres a thing at the bottom of the email that they scan. I've been told that scanning doesnt work if dark mode is enabled on the phone.
