Gaming PlayStation 5

Just waiting for my Amazon one, shopto is off to the stoke depot.

I'm guessing the Amazon one will be later this eve as there is a huge warehouse not too far away.

Goarn Stoke

I'll check in on it for you mate
 
I’ve had the email from Game, nothing from Yodel yet. Checked my junk folder too.
 
I'm still salty about Argos dispatching mine this afternoon with 48 hour delivery. If you know it will take 2 days, fecking dispatch it yesterday.

Was amused that that they have got staff (surely it can only be staff?) setting up brand new twitter accounts to respond to people who tweet about late Argos delivery.

That's exactly what they should've done. We're not talking about a toaster here. We were promised delivery on 19th less than a week ago. If they'd said all along it would be 20th for NI residents it would be less annoying, but really they should've just posted a day earlier.
 
Not a big console gamer at all, any reason why the rush to get the console as soon as from people in this thread? Some new games came out, better graphics on the new console, or just wanting to try it out asap? I admit I don't know any of what's new in the new console
 
What games is everyone going for? and why?

I'm getting Spider-Man ultimate and Demon's Souls. I haven't played either of them but keep hearing how great they are so looking forward to playing next-gen versions. What are you going for yourself?

I'm going for the same as yourself for pretty much the same reasons haha, I've just heard they're amazing and for Spiderman I used to live in NYC so that's going to be a trip. Also might grab AC: Valhalla 'cos it piqued my housemates interest..

I usually just hammer COD WZ and Fifa, with the occasional Final Fantasy, MGS, Red Dead etc. But I'm so excited to play these games. I got an eye on Devil May Cry too.

It's the new playstation....that's really exciting.

I have a gaming PC, getting a better GPU doesn't feel much different. But a new playstation? That's a whole new era of gaming.

Surprised they put that last bit in to be honest
 
Checked your junk emails I’m assuming? That’s where my email was.

Good suggestion, but sadly not.

The order is there on my argos account when I sign in but just says 'sit tight your order is in progress' which is what it has said since the day I ordered and paid for it.
 
9:30 PM
Package arrived at the final delivery station


Let's goooo
 
Thanks for this! Do you think its worth staying up till 12 just in case or get an early night and mentally prepare for war tomorrow?
You should do both. Companies are notorious for not following protocol and you’ve got to be on your toes to match that. If you really want a ps5 over the next 24hrs, you’re most likely going to have to put in a lot of work.

Make sure you’re logged in to each site a good ten minutes before each hour and refresh each one intermittently so you don’t get automatically booted. Prepare for the sites slowing to a crawl a few minutes before supposed launch... then the gazillion 404’s and full-but-empty-but full baskets at checkout... fun times ahead, laddy!

Make sure you got payment details saved too if possible.
 
In all seriousness, Amazon did similar to me so I know your pain. Hope you get it ASAP man
It’s such an ambiguous email: yea, well... when we get some, you might get one. Shrug.

They’ve not said a word in all this time then come with the gut punch!

Cheers all the same!

I am particularly annoyed because I spoke to their live chat a few weeks ago specifically to make sure NI would get release day delivery, they swore blind all would be fine.

Even today when I was literally looking at a DPD email saying it was coming on Friday, Argos were maintaining all orders were fine and arriving tomorrow. Useless.
