    I was on the Tesco website earlier and it let me add the ps5 to my basket. I got the screen for picking a timeslot but then next screen just hung

    Yeah the same for me. They were available when I added it to the basket and got to select a delivery slot screen. It then hung and when it got to the next screen, it said my basket was empty. Hopefully they will be available soon

    My wife gave me a one for all voucher and a token to exchange for a ps5 eventually. Hopefully we're not waiting much longer.

    Not a whisper of stock anywhere. Defo looking like January into February for more availability.

    with today technically being a bank holiday I am not surprised, sure enough the shops may be open but realistically since christmas warehouses and logistics are probably yet to get going fully.

    even ordering any electronics online the lead time seems quite high and again probably due to the above

    Do you think stock might show up tomorrow morning online?

    No chance. They haven't magically made hundreds of stock available over the few days if Christmas.

    March/April until stock becomes somewhat available.

    I just called in to GS to ask about trade in values for PS4 Pro. While I was there I asked about the latest on PS5, and she said early March is that date they’ve been given.

    GameStop in the crescent told my wife end of January when she asked about 2 weeks ago. As I said, nobody has a clue.

    They've just gone live on amazon us. Hopefully it'll be the same for the UK soon. And from what I've read they can be delivered now from there again as the brexit deal was reached on Xmas eve

    They can be delivered, but will be likely to face customs duties / import fees. Just something to keep in mind for anyone ordering from the UK from here on out - you’re looking at a couple of quid extra compared to buying in Ireland. And the likes of Parcel Motel won’t work for UK delivery anymore alas.

    I wouldn't really bother with what GameStop have to say to be honest.
    Who really knows how many pre-orders they took on?
    Likely that staff would hear something like "we've got so many pre orders to fulfil we won't have any available for months".

    Best bets now are going to be places like Argos, Smyths, Harvey Norman, Currys etc where you know that they haven't got loads of pre-orders still to fulfil and any stock they do get in will be going on sale online or in store right away.

    This account I follow on Twitter has said that there's an app that is the first to notify of stock in Ireland. Hasn't given the name of the app unfortunately.
    Said there'll be stock soon

    It's handle is @DuelSensor

    Any of you follow his?

    Some people replied under the original tweet with photos of what they think it is.

    I'd been following this Twitter account for weeks until I got sick of their constant aimless nonsense and repetition of crappy rumours.

    They'd even just started sending out 'funny' pictures of PS3's with a 5 sellotaped over the 3 etc.

    Came to the conclusion that they're just some sad individual that's getting off on all the attention and was delighted to be gifted a desperate and captive audience through PS5 stock shortages.

    All of those Twitter accounts are spoofers.
    They’re people who enjoy attention on the internet.

    They make vague claims like stock “next week” and if it comes off then they look like they’re in the know.

    It was particularly bad with the people making vague remarks about possible stock of PS5's in the run up to Christmas because people were so desperate to get their hands on them.

    People were just taking pleasure on others misery its how the internet rolls.

    I was lucky to get one but like to be honest with the limited games at moment i wouldn't say its an entirely new experience i dont believe anyones missed out apart from having a shiny new toy.

    Ordered on Amazon UK on the 3rd (from a tip from the previous thread). Expected date 31st of December but nothing till now apart from a cancellation email a few minutes ago. After missing out on at the basket/cart phase of Tesco, Harvey Norman x2 , DID, Argos.. very disappointed is an understatement.

    Back on the impossible hunt...

    Ha ya it's a balls. Some lads on here ordered the 3rd too with a 31st delivery date but got theirs on the 14th & 16th!

    I didn't need it for Santa though, so I'm lucky in that regard.

    I picked up a PS4 pro recently after swapping my Xbox One X with a friend, first playstation I've had since the PS2. Desperately trying to find a PS5 now so I can play all the PS4 exclusives I missed out on without having to listen to the fan on the console going mental. It's completely ridiculous, beyond what is acceptable. I have a Series X too that's starting to gather dust already.
