Gaming PlayStation 5

It's the hope that kills you.

Giving it until one but will have my phone beside me so I can check it every now and then as I'll probably get a restless night's sleep.
 
I preordered mine 2 weeks ago in GameStop. Only to be then told folks had been preordering for moths now in store. So I have no guarantees at all.

Which makes me question how they they work it all out as they also had a preorder page go up on their site last night at 12

Guess it’ll be first come first serve
 
I think I'm tapping out. I'll be dead on my feet at work tomorrow and I suspect this won't launch till the morning.

Shipping isn't free but this is a great store and it's running smooth as it's just up. @TrustInJanuzaj This is a real option if your not asleep. (Im not sure if it's launch day delivery or not)


5 mins later and sites still running perfectly. Brutal timing
I have managed to order one! You hero! Not sure if I feel fully comfortable with it and I hope they can get it by release day. This line concerns me slightly - Please Note - 1 per customer and placing a Pre Order does not guarantee stock on launch but all orders are processed in date/time order of first come first served basis and will be shipped when stock is available. I will give them a ring in the morning and see what they say.

Glad you got something sorted. I haven't bought a console from them before but scan are one of the best stores in the UK for PC parts. Hopefully they do a good job for you, giving them a call is a good idea their CS is usually great

Worst thing is I registered interest with every major retailer and only received email from Simplygames, who were offering stupid bundles. That whole registration thing was pointless. It was always going to be a shitshow trying to get one, but majority of retailers have not come out in glory. I’d give Amazon credit their website didn’t fall apart besides the dodgy link refreshing itself and having to go on desktop.

The only email I got was from Amazon telling me orders would go live at 9am. Which to be fair would have been very helpful if my phone didn't fall off the charger
 
Not sure Argos have sold out yet, I've manage to order a DE PS5 it shows on my Argos account... patiently waiting for the confirmation email :nervous:

Yea they seem to have restocked! I got my email straight away but a lot of people didn't, I wouldnt worry too much as long as they have taken the money.

The one downside of Argos is that they take the money upfront, but that should make the preorders harder to cancel

I got a delightful letter from HMRC last month saying that I had overpaid tax last year and they owed me pretty much exactly what a PS5 costs. I just reinvested those funds.

One of my more pleasant interactions with the tax men.

I miss those days, one of those paid the majority of a GTX 980Ti for me a few years ago.
 
Just got my order on their pay in 7 month plan. Delighted! Chickened out and got the disc version in the end.

Had to go though torture to get it and reset my password which scared the shit out of me as I got a couple of error messages.
 
Got an email pretty much straight away yeah

The site is getting battered though it’s probably just taking a while
Yeh I suspect mine might not go through, I got through the payment but it didn't say anything about the order and I can't see anything on my account. So frustrating again.
 
Did you get immediate confirmation. I have had a payment go out from argos but cant see anything.

I did, but I ordered early. A lot of people who jumped in when it was busy are still waiting to hear confirmation.

look at you hoarding :P
