I tried, its just the old page saying it'll be released on the 19th with no button to do anything.

 

I'll try again though.

Cool, so its legit then. Hope they announce when they're actually going live soon-ish.

 

Tesco's site is still borked and wont load. Same for JL, where it sometimes loads with me logged out, but mostly I just get the Radio Silence screen, which looks like my portable heater

 

I'm getting the 'It's PS5 day, so we're really busy' holding page.

 

No fucking shit Sherlock!

Last time I checked it the site was fine but there was no way to add a PS5 to your basket. Just said available to for delivery by the 15 Dec.

Take me home

I couldn't find anything on their site.

 

JL now reporting as out of stock.  Gutted, as I got as far as proceeding to payment before it crapped out.

Someone on Resetera saying that their Currys order has been cancelled.

That the Tesco site? Can you link it if so, as mine may be the wrong bloody one

 

Edit: Same as me @PopoWouldnt goto actual checkout.

It's temperamental, I've had the heater, '8 in-stock', there's a problem with your order, they're trying bless 'em

[Uzi]

Controller plus astrobot = happiness. It's pure joy. 

[NecroMorrius]

As said above, it looks like Currys are cancelling the loophole orders. Though mine is still there.

 

Don't forget to try EE as they still have some for "on or before 15th Dec"

[Goemon]

Mine’s just arrived from the game collection

 

 

[teddymeow]

It isn't as big in person compared to in the pictures online if that makes sense.

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a chunker but it fits in my unit when I didn't think it would.

 

It feels very premium.

[KartoffelKopf]

JLP now says "100+ purchased since your last visit" - fucking how??!?

"That's not a PS5!!"

[Qazimod]

Happy launch day, people! As mentioned in the Series X thread I'm waiting for a while before making a new-gen purchase decision, but I hope everyone has fun with their machines.

 

(Also, post pics of your setup when it's, er, set up  )

[Harrisown]

So it came like 5 minute ago. Biggest surprise when the guy in the dpd app looked exactly like the guy who delivered.

 

Ready to go.

 

you know the Funny thing is, it’s not as big as I was expecting

[scoobysi]

Good luck to those brave souls running the gauntlet of a Game/Yodel combo!

[denisb]

First thoughts

 

That controller WOW astrobot is great 

 

that console urgh Sony had better hurry up with their super slim pro it’s horrific 

 

will putting it on top of a sub cause issues ? At least it would be out of sight 

it doesn’t appear to let me turn off via long press on ps logo ?

 

[hmm]

As this thread rumbles on, I am beginning to grasp just how lucky I was with my JL order...

 

I paid for improved delivery, and supposedly it's coming tomorrow. Bit sceptical about that considering timescales being mentioned for other retailers, but we'll see!

 

Now to decide if I can stomach £60+ for Demon's Souls... Though I still have TLOU2 only half played, because I rarely tear myself away from Warzone. Has that got a prettiness upgrade on PS5? Maybe I can just finally go back to that instead.

Terrible idea.

Yeah, might make it look a little smaller if placed on a Russian one.

Sorry, no pets due to allergies.

[Nate Dogg III]

They're allergic to PlayStations??

[macosx]

Mines en route, and idling my time watching one on ebay - ones gone for £900

[Quexex]

Behold the glory, lockdown + new TV meant I went full OCD on cable management. No more rats nest of tangled cables.

 

Also fuck me it really is massive and heavy!

 

Off to play Astro

[Mr Ben]

 

[ridgeracer]

Pretty annoyed as I thought I would grab one on JL.

 

Had it in my basket many times and three times where I paid but the next screen said 'sorry, this item is out of stock'.

 

Fingers crossed for Amazon now!

[Duckula]

The slightly dodgy site I ordered my PS5 from have dispatched it for delivery tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it, hopefully I'm not getting a PS5 box full of rocks.
