Did you manage to get hold of Smyth's?

Yes they said they have my order on the system, I created the order first before creating a smyths account and they can’t link the order to my account but any new orders I place will show up in my orders. What an odd ordering system they have.

So the disappearing videos and screenshots in de PS Store seem to be in the desktop browser only. The new integrated Store in de update iOS app does have screens and videos. Sounds to me like they have a preference for certain metrics.

 

The new app is nice (and fast!), but the Windows Media Player-ish design of it is kind of jarring.

Same here, guess will have to phone Sony.

You’ve probably checked 0 vs o but the only letter in my serial number is the first one.

Yep correct first is letter everything else is 0. Have sent a tweet to ask PlayStation uk twitter account.

I tried phoning the number they provided but got a Giffgaff message saying I don't have enough credit. I'm not adding bloody credit to my sim for the sake of a daft wee dongle.

More Demon's Souls at 14.00 today.

What number did you call? I’ll let you know if I have any response from my tweet to PlayStation support.

Yeah throws an error for me as soon as I enter the serial number as well. Going to wait a bit and see if it settles down

Phew! Did they give any indication of wether or not you're in for launch?

Just give the processor unit a hug and tell her that you still love her and you are only going to plug her into a more powerful console.

I found the camera adapter submission to be extremely flaky. It kept giving me an error despite my triple-checking that the serial was correct.

 

Oddly it accepted my code first time when I tried it in an InPrivate/Incognito window. Not sure if that was just a coincidence, but might be worth a try if it's throwing you errors.

Nope they had no information but said I should be fine. Guess I just wait for the despatch email. This order is going to my brother I have my order coming from Amazon.

Thanks for the suggestion just tried it again but no joy with safari or chrome on my iPad. Will try on laptop later.

Multiple people over at ResetEra. I should have stated 14.00 CET, by the way.
Apparently Italian media are doing livestreams?

A winner is you!

 

Successfully ordered that adapter via an incognito window first time, no issues at all. Thanks for the tip.

Seems Sony is turning there marketing up to 11 now, seems like we are getting something new daily atm, not sure they can keep this up all the way to the 12th/19th. Exactly 3 weeks to go for us in UK/EU. Very excited now, given the year we've all had, it nice to have the moments to look forward to

@MansizeRooster I managed to order the adaptor have the first letter lowercase.

LOL, although that wasn't the case for me in an incognito tab... Pleased you are sorted now. Been holding back dipping into NMS since it added VR, now I'll get to play it in PS5 mode  Might take a dip anyway just so I can compare the two.

Confirmation email received

The lowercase was mentioned by someone on twitter whilst I was searching for answers and was shocked it worked! It’s more than likely that the web servers were having issues processing the serial number.

 

Email confirmation received.

 

NMS looks great on PS5, it will feel like a new game I’ve not played it for a few years. Tried the PSVR update but could not get in with the movement.

 

I am saving Star Wars Squadrons to enjoy on PS5/PSVR

The triggers on the pad are getting me excited.  Programmable resistance points sound great.  Just need to make sure devs take advantage rather than do what they did with the touchpad previously (almost all map functions)

 

can’t wait to see a video of someone opening the pad up.  I want to see what mechanism they’ve used to implement it.

The more I hear about this controller the more excited I am. 

 

It's just a pity about the ergonomics. Despise the symmetrical sticks.

I never understand why symmetrical sticks are such an issue I can adapt to either with no issues, I guess years and years of different controller configs from the Speccy to now has made it easier for me to adapt. Each to their own though, maybe a 3rd party will sort you out with a non symmetrical config. Or maybe the increased size of the pad will help.

[GamesGamesGames]

Much prefer symmetrical sticks tbh.

I put up with it, wouldn't buy another pad. I have big hands and the xbox controller is just a much better fit. PS5 will only be getting used for exclusives anyway so I can put up with it.

New PlayStation app is portrait only on iPad and also didn’t automatically work with 1Password like every other app I use.

Private window worked for me, thanks. Tried a million times across various browsers last night and this morning, but your shout fixed it

For me it’s more exciting than the SSD tech

Not sure if this has been posted already (apologies if so)...

 

My phone says it is running the most up to date version but it looks nothing like the above so I guess it may be a little further down the line for iOS?
