Last time i pre-ordered a PS4 by walking in store and slapping a deposit down, picked it up at mid-night.

I pre-ordered the 360 by walking in a store, slapping a deposit down, picked it up on launch day.

I picked up an OG Xbox on day one

I picked up a DC on launch day

So UKgaf, will i need to pre-order online or should i just wait and walk in on launch day?

I'm really in two minds as to whether or not i should pre-order vs taking my chances.

Only thing I can say is why take your chances? With most pre-orders you don't have to put any deposit down.

Nope, yourself?

Nada. Not yet, unsure of when we are to expect them. I have a disc version on Amazon I am wanting to cancel but want to make sure I can get the one from ShopTo.

It's pretty bizzare that they still seem to have no idea of their allocation. Dunno why they're doing it so differently from everyone else.

I have a question, do you think games are gonna be very limited like the consolles.

Like there is any risk of not finding any game to buy if i don't preorder?

The gs guy was kinda hinting at that, but did something similar ever happened before??

I wanna se more of spidey and demons to decide what to buy at launch...

There will be no shortage of physical games. Worst case scenario the PSN store is always there.

Mmm yeah, the fact that nobody is doing any form of discount for games means that digital is kinda of a viable way now, except you can't re-sell digital games...

I always prefer physical copies.

Game getting more tomorrow

 

[RCU005]

Why hasn't there been any restock for preorders already? This is weird!

Were pre-orders only supposed to be one day?

I remember with the Switch, I got alerts at least once a week form many stores.

Question: Does anybody know if Amazon Japan will ship PS5 internationally?

 

[DigitalScars]

Game getting more tomorrow

I got this email too. Also got one from Smyths saying they are getting more tomorrow lunchtime as well. Online orders only.

Yeah me too. Hopefully anyway! I've been refreshing on and off since 7am as they didn't specify a time in the e-mail.

Congrats. November 19 should be great!

For any body that does not have one yet, there is still Currys and GAME to go. You have to be quick or you will miss out. Regardless of what happens there will be disappointed people this November.

 

[Njocky]

Got one on amazon. They no longer had the DE though. Also tried Argos but it was too late.
Is the pulse 3D worth it? I have an atmos soundbar. It’s sold out everywhere anyway. Think I’ll wait for the reviews before I go near that one.

I've received my confirmation email from Amazon now. Surprised to see that it's supposedly going to arrive in the 19th November. I assumed this shipment would be later.

Congrats. November 19 should be great!

Yeah def wasn't expecting to get it at launch.
I had originally planned to get one for Miles Morales but when I heard that it was also on PS4 I didn't think there was any point.
It'll be nice to be part of the day one hype train though. Console launches are always exciting!

digital on amazon

They don’t seem to be selling much more than the rrp on eBay. My plan was to buy one and sell it on eBay to get close to a free ps5 - yes I’m a piece of shit .

Doesn’t see worth it unless it’s the disk version

Oversaturation of stock. Too many people on Ebay are trying to scalp, so people are undercutting each other, and it's lowering the price. You really want to see a profit? Try to scalp a 3070.

I despise people like you. Ruin every major launch by these shitty tactics.

If you really want a console then pay attention this account



It will be your fault if you miss out, I've tried my hardest to ensure everyone here has an opportunity!

Not a chance that they'll be a shortage of games. Retailers are being exploitative at the moment due to all the hype, I'm hoping that they'll give some more realistic prices closer to launch.

Imagine trying to charge £70 for Destruction AllStars.

I already laugh at 80 euros for token spidey spin off...

Thanks!

I'm actually planning on waiting until Easter next year to pick up my machine. It'll give Sony a chance to stabilize the stocks, iron out bugs in the system, and for the price of games to come down a teeny tiny bit (£5 off!).

 

[Lloyd22]

out of stock

 

[Njocky]

It's taking over an hour to beat the sign in queue at GAME's website. Glad I happened to open Amazon at the right time this morning. It's ridiculous.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Be prepared for GAME, Argos and Smyths. You miss out on those then you will probably have to wait until release day.

Amazon are done for now...

"Thank you for your interest in purchasing the Sony PlayStation 5 from Amazon.co.uk.

The Sony PlayStation 5 has now sold out and pre-orders are closed for the time being."

My advice, check out as a guest! Lloyd22

 

[Malachai]

I'm holding out for Smyths. Hopefully I can click and collect from my local store. Would rather be able to go and get it than it be delivered.

My closest store is Ashford so fingers crossed they let me collect, I have one with Amazon but want a back up option

I'm frantically refreshing the order page lol. Don't think they drop until 12 though but better safe than sorry.

Wait for Smyths I guess. But opportunities are running out so make a choice. You can always sell the second pad
