    According to their facebook page they are offering click n collect starting tomorrow. You could ask if they have any if you are in collecting something else. As for when you will be able to drop into a store and pick a ps5 off the shelf its very hard to say.

    What kind of voucher is it?

    It’s a smyths gift voucher. Had I known when I bought it that you can’t use it for pre ordering I wouldn’t have got it! It was a Christmas present.

    Complete joke.When I purchased the voucher in store in December for €500 I asked the sales person about purchasing the console online and they said it could and never mentioned pre ordering is excluded. A Lot of money to be spending on a voucher not be mentioning it.

    But you aren't pre ordering. It's out now. I'd kick up a fuss. At least get the 500 put back on your card so you can buy it.

    I used my gift cards to buy my ps5 fine. As was said it's not on preorder anymore. You also can't use them to buy the digital games / PSN stuff using gift cards.

    Does anyone know what the story is? Tried multiple sites (Currys, Smythes, Amazon etc.) but they all seem to be advertising it. No option to pre-order.


    Stock is coming in for June so I'm guessing its first click first served.


    Anyone have new info?

    It isn't going to get any easier, supply drought apparently into 2022 and thats with them considering a re-design to make it easier to build.

    Would suggest anyone interested keep an eye on the PS5 twitter and jump on the opportunity when it comes to it.

    It's the chip I heard. It's impossible to get made.

    You have to wonder how did they not see this happening prior to launch.

    Yes, they should have known that there was going to be a global pandemic and the subsequent disruption to supply lines that occurred. Tsk, Sony...

    Is your reply sarcastic or honest, its hard to tell..

    Its pretty obvious why there is a global shortage of chips in everything from cars to hoovers, not just consoles.

    The chip issue has nothing got to do with Covid.

    Former President Trump’s trade war with China has also been cited as a cause for chip shortages. A lot of manufacturing is done in mainland China, and last year the Trump administration placed restrictions on the country’s biggest chip manufacturer, Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMIC). SMIC was prevented from getting more advanced chip making equipment, which is preventing the company from running at full capacity.

    Yes it does. Your copy paste job is only part of one article.
    Manufacturing of the chips was massively affected for the past year, it's only recently become somewhat normal.

    The manufacturing of chips wasn't affected, that's not what is causing this shortage. Car production fell, leading to a semiconductor surplus and consumer technology demand increased during Covid so the surplus went into the production of phones, TVs, laptops, PlayStation 5's.. then car manufacturing jumped back, so they weren't ready for the demand. They're now chasing their tail and lagging behind demand, which they were always at risk of doing due to the intensive nature of making them and the rate of demand increasing, so it was going to happen regardless of Covid but Covid definitely sped things up.
