Gaming PlayStation 5

So what’s the state of play now then, gents? Who is still in the hunt? How many of you are pinning your hopes on Argos in a few hours?
Think a few might be monitoring the situation and will be making a deadline day bid.
 
Amazing how many won't be getting there's until January at best. They might lose customers to Xbox because of this.
 
Are you suggesting the Xbox won't sell out fast, so there'll be plenty spare?
Probably won’t be like the PlayStation IMO. Granted I could very well be wrong.

My thing is I don’t understand why they made it a majority of online pre orders as opposed to in store (maybe COVID?)

The problem with online is it opens the doors for all the douchebags with there bots picking up a majority of them and reselling them on eBay.

Making it in store pre order Eliminated that problem.
 
There will be another release of stock in time for Christmas, January seems unlikely
I would hope so as I would imagine they would want to cash in on Black Friday and the Christmas holiday spenders.
 
Amazon really fecked me over this morning. I had the chance to order the normal console but was refreshing constantly for the Digital Edition.

I was searching “PS5 Console” with no luck. I tried “PlayStation 5 Console” A few minutes later only to see it had been sold out. Absolutely pissed me off!

You should have put in PS5 digital they sold out in about 10 minutes
 
Do Argos take payment right away? Or upon despatch?

It's payment on order which sucks but thankfully not an issue for me, hoping it puts some off so i can grab one.

I was just reading It's not a midnight set time but 'from midnight' so could be sometime after Argos have advised.
 
Jesus theres probably going to be a ridiculous number of people waiting for the Argos release tonight and I just have zero confidence I can get this sorted. What's weird is I'm so hyped, I've been in the office today and I've done the sum total of zero work because I've been refreshing pages all day. the heartbreak will be real at 1 am tonight. I don't remember the ps4 launch being this stressful.

I just don't know what the strategy is, I was on shopto earlier, package in the basket but I couldn't get past the pay screen. Probably refreshed 1000 times with an error message coming up before I abandoned ship. What's driving me mental is I absolutely could have pre-ordered last night but somehow decided demand wouldn't be that high and I could pick my retailer. At this point I'm willing to pay a caf member £30 quid if they can just secure this stupid thing for me :lol: .

Could be a long night...

you’ll get one. More will become available before launch and let’s face it, you are gonna be refreshing the sh%t out of that keyboard :-)

I mean I'm keen but I'm not so sure. It's kind of pot luck when you go and when they become available. I have work so I can't spend every second of every day refreshing (I'll certainly try though!).
 
Can’t get one anywhere. Oh well, will probably just wait until they release an all black version.

I'm going to leave it till last moment so they accept my bid of £3.50. In this current market thats a more realistic price.
 
@TrustInJanuzaj
I'd happily order you one if I get the chance... £30 is £30! I'm kidding, I'd do it for free

I just dunno how it would work. Maybe I could just transfer the details into your name, I dunno
Just PM me i'd be good for it, money isn't the issue at this point. Get on argos with me tonight :lol:
 
Godspeed to all the Argos gang tonight, I hope you manage to get yourselves one.
 
Don't know if this is any help but my missus got two from ShopTo, probably been mentioned in the thread.

Did she get the confirmation email or just confirm preorder ? Has anyone else managed to confirm a preorder on Shopto yet ? From what i can see they haven't sent anyone confirmation of stock yet ? I hope :nervous:
 
On argos is it going to simply pop up to pre order or what? Only thing I see for now is to register to get an email for the pre orders
 
Sitting here with my Argos card by my side, in anticipation. Hoping for a 12 month buy now pay later but I'll take a 6 month. Heck, I hope the page doesn't fecking crash.
 
Id love to grab an Argos preorder myself, being able to pick one up would be much better than relying on Game to post it out on time. But im not waiting up to see if it goes up at 2am


Last night the Game preorders randomly popped up around 11.30

Argos card is underrated!
