    You see this?

    Ya I just saw that. I presume if there's any major problem I'll just send it back. From what I've heard in the past with those descriptions they're usually ok, or it's usually just minor packaging scratches.

    Used from the warehouse I think.

    Mine says the same... it also says:
    “ Der Artikel wird in der Originalverpackung zugestellt Die Verpackung wird beschädigt sein”

    Which google translates to:
    “ The item will be delivered in the original packaging The packaging will be damaged”

    From Amazon website: A "like new" item sold on Amazon Warehouse is in perfect condition, but due to the condition of the packaging, it does not meet Amazon.co.uk standards for new product. Returned items with minor packaging defects are classified as "like new."

    Sounds ok?

    When I bought my PS4 through the warehouse, it was missing the outer sleeve of the packaging. Everything else was perfect with it. Amazon have decent customer service when it comes to the warehouse stuff and they have no issue sorting you out if there are any issues.

    Amazon still give you a year's warranty as far as I remember.

    I see some of the twitter accounts that up to a couple of hours ago were saying Amazon would have stock this morning have deleted those tweets.

    A good reminder that most of the Twitter rumours are 100% horse****.

    The vast, vast majority of stock drops so far have happened a) without warning or b) with very, very clear times set by the retailer (eg Harvey Norman). They have not been leaked by some random Twitter user.

    Take every ‘rumoured’ date with every pinch of salt you have nearby.

    Hi,
    Has anyone who managed to purchase from Smyths on Sat morning received a dispatch email yet? Money for my pre-order was taken this morning but no other updates yet.

    If you go over to the 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread, people are discussing it. Some have gotten them and some are still waiting. They are getting through them slowly and steadily.

    looks like you got an amazon warehouse console, chances are it was returned or took a knock in the warehouse. It will arrive like brand new Ive bought many a product at a discount on warehouse and never had an issue.

    Now all we need Sony to do is cop on and get some digital out seen as the disc versions are popping up all over the place

    don't fret over a return/warehouse damage.. I've bought a couple of things like that over the years and unless you're an obsessive box collector it'll be perfect.

    By the way, I used an app called Telegram and a link provided from the boards ps5 discord and I was instantly alerted when the stock dropped.
    Ive not been charged yet and no dispatch date has been set yet.

    Not sure how much use this will be to people but I just got an email about my game stop order saying I've been allocated one now. Not sure if it's due to others not paying or they got more in but anyone with a preorder (I ordered the morning of the 17th) keep an eye on your mails

    They're allowing click and collect on PS5 games and other gaming equipment so don't see why it would be an issue.

    It's a funny one, I've seen people on the xbox thread saying they've been able to pick some up in dribs and drabs through argos during all this yet no ps5 in sight. So it can't be that they aren't allowed sell them because they are?

    Long time lurker first time poster. With all the BS and confusion going on at the minute it makes me appreciate the way DID handled it(where I got mine) 5 per shop first come first served. No forms no crashing websites no chance of over selling. Straight forward they arrive on Wednesday and we will have it for you on Thursday/Friday. Why would everyone not just do it like that?
