Don't overpay for a gaming console which in a few months will be in stock pretty much everywhere. A little bit more patience will save you a good bit of unnecessary spent money.


I am sure that Sony along with Retailers wont want to loose out on Black Friday sales (especially during such pandemic stricken times) or losing out on Christmas business, otherwise they would have launched the console in January.

100%.

And I imagine there will be some decent bundles available too.

Any stock news for the stock news thread?

I wonder could a mod remove the admin note from the thread title? It's so long, I'd say a lot of people aren't reading past "PS5".

This thread is a disaster as it is.

Mod note: Have tweaked the OP to make clear what this thread is for. But everyone should also be conscious that in the absence of actual news and updates there’ll be a bit of inevitable chatter. We’ll intervene where necessary, but we’re not going to delete every post that isn’t a full stock update either. Thanks.

Sony currently has no stock available for either console. Head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan has said: "Everything is sold. Absolutely everything is sold."
Found this quote on one of the stock update sites, no date. Can anyone confirm this was said and when it was said? If this indeed true that means the next batch is the last batch before Xmas.

I thought it was specific to a Russian outlet, that he said we've sold all stock, in Russia. Not all stock completely.

I've read that quote in a few places this week and everytime it reads to me like it's taken out of context and being used to drum up even more hysteria.

I'm sure that's exactly the context it was said in, to drum up more hype

Give it a rest would you? You're as guilty as anyone for clogging up the thread with sarky comments like this.

There's a load of wise and wonderful people online telling anyone who will listen that they're not getting a PS5 until next March - The reality is that these people haven't a bulls notion as to what's going to happen. They're basically repeating rumours their Postman heard from an Aunts neighbours cat.

The fact is that even with COVID taken into account, if Sony cannot deliver more PS5 consoles in early to mid December at least then this will be a spectacular supply-chain fiasco of epic and historic proportions, which will become a dedicated chapter in books/case studies on the topic for years to come and I don't see that happening, not to Sony who tend to have a bit of expertise in this area.

Right now Smyths have a new message up saying stock expected in December 2020 - Nobody can guarantee anything but anyone looking to pick one up for a gift might well be able to stroll in and pick one up or order online really soon.

This may well be right.

Maybe there will be a shortage going into 2021. But the people claiming that there will be really haven't a clue. How could they? There's sweet FA useful public information about the mechanics or status of Sony's manufacturing and supply chain processes. If they are right, they will be right through luck and not knowledge. People should cop on and think a little before opening their mouth.

Maybe 16 reserved for collection in this specific branch, I was collecting mine from Blanchardstown Tesco today and the list was easly 50-60 consoles long.

I picked up mine today.

As I was on my to Tesco, I got an email to say that my order no had been refunded.

Nearly had a heart attack.. turned out after it was the delivery fee as it was switched to collection.

Yep, I got excited too when I seen it myself to be honest hah

Plenty of people in the GS "pre-order" queue still haven't gotten one, so if they released some for sale there would be an almighty uproar.

I’m one of them. Surprised if they start a free for all with so many after giving them deposits. I don’t mind if I don’t get one but this is bad form if they are flogging then online!
