Nothing on Littlewoods.

Littlewoods didn't get stock of the Xbox until about a week after launch day, I'd be surprised if they have any PS5's up today.

i have a confirmed tesco order, and i use the online store every week for our weekly shop, if they fulfill the PS5 id be pretty surprised but here's hoping.

So, Argos Ireland never had any stock to begin with. What a joke.

Walmart in the US with Address Pal and and extra €100 VAT is another option

I was so ****ing close on Tesco. The site was running fine, I put my payment info in and then the confirmation took ages and timed out. Fuming.

I wouldn't stress over it, I managed to get one, but despite people on here trying to be positive about it, there isn't actually much chance of most of the orders being fulfilled. Tesco allow you to order something that is in stock at the time of ordering, but when it comes to fulfilling it the item will often be out of stock. Their inventory isn't realtime either so they probably had maybe 50 consoles in stock and will likely have 10 times as many orders before the system updated to show them out of stock. Then, when it comes to fulfilling the order next week the "picker" will go looking for a PS5, not be able to find one, and most of the orders will be cancelled.

Has anyone spoken with Tesco support since they got their order confirmation email? The rep I spoke with said it was a mistake that the Playstations went up and he honestly seemed completely clueless about the whole ordeal and that they "don't sell electrical items in store"? Wat?

Its a fairly elaborate mistake to upload a stock of electrical devices, designate specific timeslots for delivery/collection and price accordingly.

Not having a go by the way.

Tried the tesco site too. Kept getting some validation error according to the address bar. Fairly bizarre but sure look.

amazon at 12 is the best bet

LOL.

How do you figure they mistakenly added a page for a product AND added a specific set of delivery and pick up times for that product?

Plenty of Tesco stores sell electrical items, though I am sure there are some who don't.

Does anyone know if the collection options were for EVERY Tesco branch or if you could only choose from selected branches? For example, Liffey Valley would have electrical items but those smaller Tesco stores in Dublin city centre etc probably wouldn't.

If nothing else, this just exposes the incredible inefficient infrastructure that irish e-commerce sites are built on. They really should be using something like AWS and scale up as requests increases.

yep, a few may get them, but everyone wont unfortunately.

I'm ridiculously angry about this as I'd normally buy most consoles/games etc in Argos. Screw them from now on

That says coming soon if you read it.

HN twitter responses are at least enjoyable. People saying because they have it in they're basket they should be guaranteed one.

So somehow she's the ONLY person who went to Littlewoods website this morning and was able to order a PS5 despite them not having a page with a "buy now" button or similar.

Occam's razor?

I picked collection and there were only few big ones available.
