PS5 Stock Updates - *READ FIRST POST*

Rigardo

For anyone planning to chance their luck;

I was passing Currys in Carrickmines on my way home for lunch. Saw a queue outside and, just for a moment, felt an ounce of hope.

Staff were walking in and out so I grabbed one to save me queuing pointlessly. He said they had none but were hoping to get more in December. He sounded genuine when he said he hadn't managed to get one himself and to "not give in to the scalpers!" which gave me a chuckle. I told him I wouldn't dream of it.

Keep the faith guys!

Sure the staff are hiding a few for their mates and telling Joe they are all gone.

If that’s true that’s very bad form.

Doubt it , worked in retail for a while ( albeit years ago) , and generally while we could claim stock to buy before it hit the shelves if it was a little hard to come by ,but for special situations like this it was banned ....mainly as if it became public knowledge there'd be uproar.
This woukd have been in the Megadrive to PS1 era , but I'd guess its the same now.

Nothing wrong with looking after their staff first, I'm sure if you were offered the opportunity you won't refuse, perks of working for a supplier of a high demand item

Perks of the job. I honestly prefer seeing the staff get them then seeing all 40 of them up online at double the price. I deffo wudnt refuse if I was a staff member.

My friend is a manager in D.I.D and the staff of all the shop wanting PS5s were put into a draw to get one per shop and he was lucky enough to win his for his young lad...

Mad the difference if that above is true...

Cancelled the order....Grrrrr...... There is a back log with pre-orders and they only got 12 units into stock apparently.

Yep got a email there cancelling my order also said they're not expecting stock this side of Xmas. Cpc Farnell that is

When do we realistically think there’ll be more stock available and where? Had my Tesco order canceled last week then thought I managed to get one on Harvey Norman payment was processing for 40 minutes and then they sold out it never went through

I'm expecting to see stock updates around the middle of next week.

Don’t know if this is any use but just FYI.....

Something after changing in curry’s site.

Link for PS5 is saying “whoops something went wrong”

But also my basket now has an item in it again, but when I click my basket it also now says “whoops something went wrong”

The only thing that was in my basket was the PS5 from a few days ago but basket has been empty up until a few mins ago....

Hopefully this is something positive .....

Might have something to do with their U.K. site restrictions on numbers . 20k only at a time on it

F1ngers

I would be very surprised if stock is added to any online site before tuesday.

No one wants their site to crash this weekend.

I got lucky, they took my order and the money, as I've said, we'll see if it results in a console, I suspect it'll result in a refund and a voucher by way of apology

It's a rumour so far as Smyths haven't announced anything. But I hope so

I would assume that's nonsense because they would just put them up on click and collect now.

I got my Series X last week when a few popped up in Waterford. Completely painless and quicker than normally buying something there. Standard online checkout, you get an email with a barcode, you step a couple of feet inside the front door of the shop,they scan the code and get you your console. Job done.

If they had PS5s that's what they'd be doing with them right now. They aren't going to wait until people can wander around the shop to sell one of the most in demand products at the moment.

Yeah it sounded like nonsense was just wondering over them saying stock due in December and there reopening in December
