Gaming PlayStation 5

I've been in the sneaker resell market for 5/6 years this is nothing compared to that, if you were prepared and did your research when preorder was announced you would of got one at least.

So many basic errors from people that aren't computer literate, always sign in to website 30/60mins before make sure address details are correct and saved make sure payment details are saved.

Being able to instantly skip the address entering/payment entering when websites are 404ing constantly gives you a huge advantage.

use F5 to refresh the page that's infinitely faster then manually clicking the refresh button open numerous tabs set multiple windows up on your monitor so you can keep an eye on multiple websites.

If you cant login and pre save your details make sure you have auto fill ready and set up on chrome for example.

Know your ccv on your card off the top of your head.

So many little things people don't do which others will.
 
Everything installed and ready to rock this afternoon. Just running down the clock until lunch.

Think I'll go astro's first to check out the new controller features, then Spiderman. Might not touch Demons today.

We should take our Xbox and PS5s for a socially distanced walk there. Let them sniff each others arse and get some fresh air.

Hopefully now they've started to turn up the supply might go up a bit. I saw disc version pre-orders for about £625 a few weeks ago.

I bought it for that price. Bit luck now that I see the prices now. No way in hell I’d pay 800-1000 for a console. I’d just buy a quality PC for that.

It wasn't a dig just a point,

obviously you can't beat a bot ive been using them for years with sneakers i know the in's and out's of high profile releases.

The captcha's that are used to prove "your not a robot" are actually making it so much slower for anyone that isn't using a bot the system is flawed.
 
I’m sure I read somewhere that Sony have taken more pre orders for the PS5 than they had sales for the first 12 weeks of the PS4’s launch.

Must have something to do with us all imagining an Xmas in which we're mainly stuck indoors :lol:

I think the massive influx of PS5 Preorders is due to lockdown and people being stuck inside more,

Me for example, I completely missed the whole PS4 Gen, I lost interest in gaming and was travelling about a lot, however now with lockdown and being home more there's only so much netflix i can watch and i quite liked the idea of getting back into gaming and what a good time to do it with the launch of next gen consoles.

They produced more than they did for the PS4 launch. The problem is loads of people had 3 or 4 pre-orders through different sites when they only needed one, and the many scalpers/bots.

Mine still isn't out for delivery. My poor dog is next to me looking all sad because I won't take him out but not taking any chances.

Yeh, I actually managed to get one through a neighbour who had 2 pre orders in and he's a nice guy so he's just giving it me at cost (plus some beer!)
 
Ordered the media remote from Scan and only realised after the PayPal checkout they charged £13 postage because I live in NI. Obviously I've cancelled. Robbing bastards. :lol:

If anyone knows a site they're in stock for £25 I'd be very grateful.
 
45 minutes away.
That's one half of footy.
Or a Roy Hodson post match interview
 
Here’s one that’ll trigger all of you who waiting patiently. I collected mine late last night, which took a little longer than anticipated. By the time I got home, it was a little too late to start firing it up, especially as I have a lot of work to get through today. As we speak, it’s sitting unopened, with a copy of Spider-Man attached to it, whilst I continue to write a research proposal. The urge to pie this off, tear it open and start playing is there, mind you.
 
After being screwed by Argos yesterday I knew it wouldn't arrive today.

I have somehow ended up with a DPD UK and DPD IE tracking numbers. UK number says all is well, moving between Birmingham and NI depot.

IE tracking number says it was scanned in France at 2am, but DPD IE. But DPD IE Customer Services say they can't see this on their end. Useless buggers. Better be an error.

My DPD status when tracked is "Your parcel is travelling through the DPD network". Smyths said I'd be receiving direct updates this morning on the delivery but nothing

Now it's updated to "your parcel is due for delivery later today". No texts on a estimatated time or anything but I'll take that!
 
Got the machine, got it all plugged in, and now it's saying ~37 hours to download the update file :nervous:

Hope it starts playing nice with my internet. There's no way I could plug it into the router, so I'm relying on WiFi (which my PS4 worked ok with, in the exact same spot).
