Call me stupid but how the hell I add items to basket / reserve them on DID website?

You can't and I've just got off the phone with them and there's no stock

Probably get hammered for this, (and I'm in the same boat as most of you here as in I'm desperately trying to secure one for Santa)

But why are they banning them?

Adverts is a place where you sell stuff - and if it's not illegal, and there's a market for them, then how do they justify taking them down?

Surely people can sell stuff for whatever they like - and if it's not illegal, why stop them?

I agree, I have the spare cash at the moment and I have the time to play it. I would happily pay someone double the price to get it now, rather than after Christmas.

I wouldn't even feel robbed, the person selling it likely spent hours online trying to get it.

Wow, they sold those fast.

EDIT: Just to check, did you ring the number on the page to contact online sales? They're all still in the warehouse so local stores probably don't have any.

Rang the online number and they said they checked the warehouse and there were none

Anyone that has ordered a PS5 via Amazon or plans to in the future should probably read this -

Well that's some beautiful nightmare fuel.

Now I feel slightly better about it still not being shipped since I imagine they'll be all over this soon.

Because scalpers are cretins who add nothing to society and live as literal parasites, exploiting the achievements of others. Same as with people scalping concert tickets. Why reward people who are literally just purchasing to exploit people, without adding any value whatsoever.

**** them, I hope they die roaring.

As for stock information, there is a google chrome extension that lets you auto refresh called auto refresh. There was another one that sent you a notification if the website changed at all during refreshing. Does anyone remember the name of this extension pls?

Well it's a pretty weird business model imo (I gave up on adverts years ago as I think it's moderator standards are bizzare) they'll just sell their perfectly legal product elsewhere.

You'd think taking the money from the folks advertising, and putting some kind of warning banner across the ad would make much more sense.

But this is off topic so I'll leave it there.

This is only if you assume honestly by ALL the people who claimed to have received such items. They could easily have lashed anything into a box after delivery. PM at least take pictures of deliveries so anything happens after that point is between you and them. I doubt door to door couriers from Amazon to you take any photos.

Some might be authentic, others not so much.

lolokeogh

True. I'm not particular worried. I've heard of these kind of amazon mistake stories for years. Have to be fierce unlucky/

Keep an eye on Tesco. I ordered one for collection 10 minutes ago. I've been refreshing the page momentarily through the day and a few came into stock. They were still there to be added to basket after I got a confirmation email but they're out of stock again.

The Tesco one I ordered yesterday was cancelled.

Could be failed payments or odd balls who phone them up after changing their minds and cancelling.

Yes. I just kept the page below open all day and refreshed it sporadically. I nearly fell off my stool when it appeared in stock.

It's appearing in stock because peoples cancelled orders are only actually being cancelled today. I think its an aberration of the system but hopefully yours isnt cancelled.
