    Should be comms from Argos.ie on the site within 48 hours. What I’m told is that it’s not good news.

    Anybody reading much into tweets like these:

    Wouldn't be overly worried. Relative to the number of sites and journos that have covered the console launch, the issues don't seem to be very widespread. Also I don't think I've seen anything that's fatal yet, most of the issues seem to be resolved with a factory reset, and I've seen a few lists already doing the rounds online on things to avoid doing to avoid your console acting up. Don't use rest mode for now, avoid using LAN cables for now etc.

    Yeah these are serious issues, let's not downplay it. 'Don't use this feature we advertised, and maybe not that one either..in fact just hope yours is OK'. I shouldn't have to be worrying. Buy a new car and hope it stays on the road?

    Should just be a lottery/draw system. Wake up at 8am, confirm your payment and shipping and wait for the results an hour later. All pre-orders should have been that. Harder for bots and people have a better chance at getting something. Nike do draws for their very limited edition shoes on the SNKRS app.

    I heard about not using an external HD, and not using rest mode, but not using a LAN cable is a new one.

    FFS, I don't remember anywhere this many issue with the PS4 on launch. Sony needs to patch this stuff asap.

    People are saying don't use the lan for data transfer.

    I really hope mine isn't goosed, had my PS4 die after an hour or so at launch last time.

    I didn't downplay anything, nor did I say they weren't serious. Just pointing out that none of the issues seem to result in a complete console failure. Nor are they widespread...

    If you don't want to be worrying at all, you probably shouldn't be buying the console at launch. Hardware faults with wave one of a launch is hardly unheard of.

    Also, dramatic comparison...I don't think you run the risk of death if you plug your PS5 in on Thursday morning somehow.

    Yeah, sorry I should have clarified, the LAN issue is to do with data transfer. Connecting to your network is fine....as far as we know for now anyway!

    Add 'coil whine', constant crashes, ridiculous fan noise, hard resets, rebuilding the database, reinstalling firmware on top of no external drives, dropped frame rates, LAN transfer etc. There ARE serious issues and a lot of them appear to be hardware related, so no update will fix those.

    Still it's probably useful to have them all in one place though, may as well give them all a go on the day?

    Well crap, hope I don't see any hardware issues. My Series X is thankfully doing alright. Guess, my decision for what to buy Cyberpunk for has been made.

    I've entered about six or seven of those draws and gotten nothing. Lottery systems are worse as they're flooded with duplicate entries.

    Plus it's fine for Nike to run lotteries for Nike shoes. Can't expect people to commit to dozens of lotteries with different sellers. Would be pure chaos with people getting multiple consoles.

    I've followed that twitter page a while but filled with morons with "will it ship to the us?" But now it's filling up with Irish people asking basic questions about Amazon.

    Like if I order Thursday will it be here by Christmas? If you even have to ask.........

    Nope, but I’ve seen lots of UK retailers shipping this evening - including Very who actually have the items shipped direct from the supplier, so even Sony’s PS5 distributor have sent them out in the UK today.

    Taken from mine too. Delivery time has changed from 21st - 24th Nov to “arriving Tuesday”. Changed from PM to Irish address 2 days ago. Anyone with an Amazon order who stayed with PM get updated delivery as a matter of interest?

    Same but when you click into order it says Tuesday.. I wouldnt think they will arrive by the weekend we should just consider ourselves very lucky...

    Anpost and amazon has become ridulous in parts of Ireland they are constantly getting stuck in traffic so don't expect it to arrive launch day, I know I don't but I can wait.. Also amazon CS is amazing so if anything does go wrong you can easily get a refund whereas other places might tell you they have to send for repairs etc..
