The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Has anyone heard anything about orders from Game.co.uk?

Thing about Amazons website is that It doesn't crash. You either snag it fast or you don't.

Got the call from a Gamestop today. Paid balance over the phone, picked my preferred time on Thursday. Simples.

Did you have the online PS5 Queue order placed or in-store?

In store.

Follow a guy on Twitter talking about Harvey Norman now listing the PS5 for the 19th November at 8am.

Says UK&Ireland in a recent Tweet

He goes by PS5 Stock Updates

I checked mine earlier today and it still says Unshipped. Last email I got from them a week or two ago said it would be shipped on Wednesday (for delivery on Thursday, though given it's going through Parcel Motel could push it out to Friday).

For those wondering about GS ps5 store collections, you have to have it paid off. They won't be doing payments on the day. I managed to get through to GS Santry and they said I can pay over phone or pop down (as it's open for click and collect.)

On the day it's literally the console being handed to you, none of the typical GS sales speil. Was given my collection time. Happy days

Oh and they aren't accepting cash either! I had cash put aside for it but I'll just lodge it to my account now!

I got a mail on Saturday to say it was being processed and a few mins later the money left my account.

Got a separate one saying they are going out Wednesday to arrive Thursday. I've fingers crossed PM gets it to me Friday.

Anyone know about ordering games off Smith's for click and collect, when do you get the collection ready email and how long do you have to collect? I'm ordering a game to collect in Thursday but want to give it enough time to get the email from them but don't want to do it too early in case they don't hold it till Thursday

Usually get the ready to collect email that day.
If you do it tomorrow/Wednesday they’ll keep it and have it ready for 2 days (Thursday)

I ordered spiderman last Thursday at 10.04 am and got ready for collection email at 10.33am - said they would hold it for two days.

Mr Blobby

Hopefully its a good sign the likes of Harvey Norman are being allocated stock to sell.
Might mean there's plenty to go around.

Email from Amazon that the PS5 is release day eligible - though I'm using PM, not my Irish address.

Still says 3-5 day shipping if I go to update the address (didn't confirm the change). It would be nice if they had said somewhere like "Hey, we know you are using a parcel delivery service, but if you want it delivered to an Irish address, it'll likely on release day"...... just take the the confusion out of it.

Got the same. Think I’ll stick with parcel motel though. More chance of having it Friday or Saturday hopefully.

It's oversized. Not sure if the depot is open on Saturday for collection.

Anyone using Parcel Motel I'd recommend increasing your insurance. Costs €3.50 for €500 liability for 14 days.

Amazon won’t ship to Ireland? so I’m best to use addrespal if I am lucky to get one?

They should be shipping to Ireland now. Was only at the start they wouldn't.

There were no new orders over the weekend, it was all the people who pre Ordered back in September for delivery getting money taken from their accounts

My bad - sorry about that!

You can get it for delivery (instead of the Depot.

I have changed my address to my home address - showing 21-24/11 hopefully will be before then especially when they deliver packages now over the weekends

If they lost my PS - they'd be the ones needing insurance

Seriously though, good call.

Ah, got ya. I'm thinking it should be in the depot on Friday (1-2am), so I'm going to take the chance that I can collect it sooner than they would deliver it. All of the courier companies are under severe pressure with the traditional peak season, added to the fact that the majority of shops are closed.

Sorry think I posted in other thread by mistake. Anyone get charged yet for the PS5 Smyth's collection ? Got an email last week saying I'll get another mail about when to collect but it's still pending and no charge yet.

There are a good few of us on here and it's a small enough country. I'm sure if we pull together we can figure out where the warehouse is :pac:

Won’t be charged until Wednesday

Mr Crispy

I see some people on the OcUK forum have started receiving emails from Amazon confirming delivery for the 19th, so they're sending them out on the 18th apparently.
