    I posted similar on here last Thursday morning after collecting my PS5.

    I was chatting to the manager in my local Smyths about potential further stock and he said they would in the near future be having another round of pre-orders, similar to their last 2 rounds, and delivery would be guaranteed for Christmas.

    Thanks for the update. Sounds promising so.

    Based on absolutely no evidence, I do believe there will be a huge amount of stock available between now and the end of December. It's not like they're a small start up company trying to feed an unforeseen demand.

    Sony surely expected the demand and I'd be very surprised if they didn't flood Ireland with stock before Christmas.

    Now a surge in stock still mightn't meet the full demand but at least it will give us an fairer chance to secure a console unlike the disaster that was the 19th of November.

    Agreed last thing Sony want is people buying xboxs if that's all people can get too

    How hard are the new Xbox's to get your hands on? Argos seems to have added more stock today.

    Right thread. Was asking about the Xbox availability because after their website went down more stock was added without any warning.

    Was going to follow up with it might be worth a while keeping the eye out for PS5 stock should something similar happen.

    Not sure if anyone posted this site before or even how quick they are to alert you, but here it is anyway.

    Are you saying more Series X stock was added after the outage today? If there was, it went instantly. I didn't see any anywhere in the country.

    I'd be surprised if Argos don't get some PS5 stock at some stage before Xmas, but it's going to be hard to guess what time of the day it might come online. I see on Argos UK, they actually have a different product ID to what we have here, which was for their pre-order PS5 stock.

    I'm still assuming 834/9000 will be the product code for the PS5 here when it arrives.

    .

    Correct. Spotted someone on twitter bought one and added a screenshot. Checked it out myself and the more expensive one was available for click & collect on their UK website.

    Smyths have updated their page just now.

    'We are working to make more stock available for pre-order. Please check back soon for stock availability updates.''

    They'll probably have a pre order system just like launch to make it a bit cleaner than dumping stock on the website all at once and having it be a free for all.

    "We are working to make more stock available for pre-order. Please check back soon for stock availability updates."

    When smiths opened up for pre order first time did you all have advance notice of time and date or did it just appear one day?

    Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about Ireland. We can't buy from Argos UK, AFAIK.

    I think they’ve sent emails, although it was late at night, so I was too late.

    A lot of us were set up to receive notifications of when stock will be available from Smyths.

    Wing126 told everyone here it was available well before Smyths sent out their emails.

    How do you set up a stock notification for Smyths?

    The way I got my pre-order was using a chrome extension that reloads a page every soo many seconds, you can configure this, and when I got an email telling me they expected to have stock at lunchtime on a certain day, I just had the page refreshing in the background and as soon as I saw stock I disabled the reloading quickly and proceeded with purchasing it asap. Make sure you already have your account etc. setup with Smyths and follow these threads to get an idea of when you expect them to become available.

    It was an "express interest in PS5" and we'll let you know when stock is available email from a while back.
    Nobody was notified when stock went live until after the event.

    Aye the best way to have an idea of when Smyths might drop them is to keep an eye on this forum and these threads. When the initial pre-order went up the consensus on here was it would be around lunchtime on that day, and it was just a case of auto-refreshing the page until the purchase button went live!

    Wasn't the initial pre-order at some crazy hour of the night? For the second round, Smyth's tweeted that it would be at lunchtime the following day, without being specific about the exact time. They at least gave us a fair idea.
