I know it's not a stock update but bit of a F up with Gamestop. They didn't put my proper info on it.

Not my real address, just to get the point across, UPS lad wandered around all day trying to deliver this thing to randomers.

Same thing happened to my friend Lee Dell. Ended up in some supermarket.

This is a major factor and its really telling as CEX have them in stock all the time for and 80% mark up.

the fact you can sit at home and can make 200 quid with minimal fuss considering CEX take it from your house is really crazy

I don't think they (CEX) will collect from your door? As far as I know you can send the PS5 with an Post but max value is 350e anything over that and customer has to pay more.

I could be wrong of course...

sorry thats what I meant they get someone to take it from your door but still the ability to make 200/150 quid like that is still crazy, especially with everything going on as it is

CEX do offer it for free (home pickup) as a returns service via anpost, thing is if something happens to the parcel gets lost or whatever you can't do anything as anpost treats it as CEX property not yours so CEX has to investigate it...and yeah that doesn't sit well with me anyway.

If it's any consolation I ordered mine last week and it still hasn't been dispatched. Smyths this weekend may get it to you quicker than today's batch of Gamestop orders.

Got my tracking email now from GS check your email we might be in the same batch

Except for those wanting digital

As previously posted by me and other posters on here. Go with the disc edition if financially feasible. It’ll have a better resale value and doesn’t restrict you to the expensive PS store where in 10 years time it shuts down. It does everything the DE does and you’re getting a cheap 4K/8k Blu-ray player for €99 extra! The DE PS5/Xbox consoles will one day be a paperweight, they’ll be no more useful than a Unison box, the Disc edition will still be a functional PS5 in 2038

recyclops

Both are feasible and I gave the disc edition I picked up to my bro, this is a secondary console for sony exclusives only really and I game share so it makes no sense to shell out really. Series X will be the main console but sony tend to have one or so games a year I want to play, they also do very good digital sales.

I see why people who want to constantly sell to cex etc to get games as cheap or shop around to save a fiver/ tenner off a game makes sense but its just not for me.

I also think if you sell to Cex to keep gaming cheap you cant really moan when Cex use the same model to horde PS5 and turn a profit on it as well ( thats not aimed at you btw)

8K blu-ray isn't a thing yet, even if/when it is the PS5 won't be able to run the discs. The HDMI port technically supports 8K but if this version of the console ever has any significant 8K content I will be shocked.

Saying that, I'd agree the disc version is the only way to go, and it's a pretty good 4K blu-ray player.

I'll probably get the disc version even though most of my PS4 games are digital, I use Psplus and PSNow.

Sorry for going off topic.....where is the best place to get the 4K blu-ray discs?

Thanks,

@ 5star02707 congrats, no sign of mine yet but should.have it by Monday which suits me fine.

My position on Disk v Digital is I prefer the ease of digital and can wait for sales mostly but the must have Day 1 games like GOW2 or RE8 will always be cheaper on disk.

Amazon, unfortunately. Zaavi are also decent for sales but may not deliver here anymore.

Up until recently at least Zavvi did deliver but they have a delivery cost. It used to be 4.50. I think it might be 3 euro now.

Smyths just tried to charge me for the PS5 that I ordered on Tuesday. So that's a good sign.
Although it wouldn't accept my Revolut for some reason. Anyone know how long it would take once payment has been taken?

I would expect it to be shipped by end of day tomorrow at latest. My card was charged too, and option to cancel preorder is gone from account.

Is it me or is this launch far worse than previous ones?

No its not just you, availability-wise this is far worse than any console launch that I can remember, and I can remember back to about the PS1 launch.

The only launch that even comes close to this was the PS2, that was also like gold dust but there was no problem getting one by about February. Wii was a similar situation.

Still remember my mate who worked in Gamestop texting to let me know they'd a few Wii's just arrived that weren't being used to fulfil preorders, this was a week before Christmas and 10 units had just landed unexpectedly and the store had decided to give the next few people who came in and asked for one a nice surprise. I was one of those 'surprised' individuals! No chance of being able to slip that through under the radar these days

Every single Nintendo releasee is like this, the Wii, the DS, 3DS and Switch, I had to get my Switch off a fella because that was rare. For a year we had most stores with no Switches.

Plenty of spare Wii U though!

Mod note: Stock updates only please, folks. There are other threads to speak about the launch more generally.

I'm not holding out much hope. The say no stock until March and I'm inclined to believe them.
