Yeah I feel really gutted for him, wish he came to me before he ordered it as I would have advised him against it. Sucks that people are taking advantage of people.

For those of you still on the lookout, according to this website, there's going to be a big batch of stock coming 2nd of February and "early February" https://www.whathifi.com/news/ps5-r...me-tipped-for-new-wave-of-ps5-stock-this-week
Makes sense as it's been up for preorder today on game, delivery for around the 5th.
JOhn Lewis dropped today then got rinsed by bots instantly
I got mine a few days back, you’ll love it, the 3D sound is fantastic.Finally got a shipping confirmation for the Pulse headset a month after placing a back-order on ShopTo
I can’t help but think the sound on the whole for the PS5 is excellent. Films and Spotify through my under tv speaker sounds brill.
Game had a big drop too. Gone ASAP.
What's the end game here for these scalpers/bots? Eventually there will be plenty of supply and they'll be stuck with tons of PS5s?
Ok, so for anyone who has registered their interest on SimplyGames, I just had an email this second to say that they have a bundle in stock now that you can preorder. Gonna have to be quick though.

Just ordered some from shop to as well, happy to wait a month or so for them.
I really hope that’s the case! Scumbags.
Worth waiting for. I don’t have any points of reference as to whether the Pulse is better than any others but I can say they sound excellent. Especially the 3D sound. COD sounded amazing and the distance and direction of explosions was very clear.
This just got me super excited now
I've put off buying some games just because I had been using a headset I got maybe 6 years ago and the audio only works when the cable is in a particular position.
Class! I’m looking forward to this! Hopefully get mine in a month or so.
I use cheap turtle bay ones so I think I’m gonna love these bad boys.
We’ve all been there!Not surprising really, but still infuriating for the people trying to get one.

Some of you will hate me, but the inevitable has happened - my PS5 is already gathering dust. I played Demon Souls and some Miles Morales, only to go back to World of Warcraft of all things
This happens with pretty much every new console for me. Oh well, just have to wait for the next must have exclusive whenever that arrives.

If its any consolation, if I opted for the Series X it likely would have been gathering dust the minute I unpacked it

Fair enough pal! Is there nothing on the ps plus collection you’d want to try?Some of you will hate me, but the inevitable has happened - my PS5 is already gathering dust. I played Demon Souls and some Miles Morales, only to go back to World of Warcraft of all things

Not particularly. Tbh I'm primarily a PC gamer but I bought the console because I really wanted to play the Demon Souls remaster, and as a huge souls fan - I wasn't disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed it despite it being on the short side. I don't regret the purchase at all since I was always eventually going to end up with next-gen console, Demon Souls just forced my hand earlier than usual.
Fair enough, surprised God of War isn’t your cup of tea. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it.
I’ve moved onto Days Gone now which I’m enjoying more than I expected.
I played God of War on PS4 when it was initially released. It wasn't really my thing.
In all honesty a playstation is mostly a JRPG/sports game machine for me. I.e. games I can't/don't particularly want to play on PC. I'm sure the PS5 will serve that purpose fine. I'm also not as arsed or motivated anymore with keeping my pc updated, not with scalpers ruining the graphics card market, so this gen might actually compel me to make the full switch to being a full time console gamer. It seems the technical chasm that's always existed between PCs and consoles has gotten even more narrow this gen anyway.
I mean, I have some bad news for you on both those points...
Getting mine tomorrow. Can't be arsed to wait anymore, so getting a unopened one from a private seller in my town. Overpaying by 800 euros but oh well, I want some from software time.
Wait, you are paying 800 or 800 on top??Getting mine tomorrow. Can't be arsed to wait anymore, so getting a unopened one from a private seller in my town. Overpaying by 800 euros but oh well, I want some from software time.
Similar but i bought an RTX 3080 and a new PC so the ps5 will strictly be a Sony exclusive machine now.Some of you will hate me, but the inevitable has happened - my PS5 is already gathering dust. I played Demon Souls and some Miles Morales, only to go back to World of Warcraft of all things

Surely this just makes the problem worse though. If scalpers couldn't sell them, they wouldn't buy them.Getting mine tomorrow. Can't be arsed to wait anymore, so getting a unopened one from a private seller in my town. Overpaying by 800 euros but oh well, I want some from software time.

Indulge me.
The scalping on the consoles has been every bit as bad, if not worse (look at what happened today), and the power level is no different to any recent gen. They are powerful, but they are already being left behind same as ever.
Plus, I'm also messing a bit too
They'll make money off of them. Worst case scenario a huge shipment of stock comes in and most people get them for the normal price and the 'scalpers' have to lower their prices around the normal price. They'll probably continue to make a bit more money for the next month though as the demand is so high and the stock isn't there to fill the demand.
Today is a good example. John Lewis dropped and sold out within 30 seconds. Sure, only 100+ or so. Game dropped and went within about 4-5 minutes, thankfully they did it where the consoles were in loads of different bundles which gave normal people an actual chance. The thing is, most of the normal people that got one today were people following twitter, discords, stock alerts etc. We aren't even taking into account the average person who ain't going to be doing any of that stuff, they're the type of people that will likely give in and pay the mental prices that the feckers are selling them at. Just hoping more stock starts to come quicker for people to get their hands on and stop the scalpers making much more profit.
I managed to get one from Game this morning. Digital bundle with 50 quid wallet and extra controller. I've been following all stock alerts, twitter etc and was trying every half hour or so this morning while at work
literally clicked the bundle on the dot of ten and it loaded. Got my details in just in time.Now it's just the worry of no cancellation, then the bastard delivery drivers not stealing it
paid the 20 quid for priority delivery which means if it disappears I get a replacement plus 50 pound. For anybody still on the hunt I'd expect a drop from Argos at any point, probably a small drop from Game, Currys at any point over the next few days too. Argos is probably the next big one, surely can't be worst than the John Lewis stock.If he had Game Pass it wouldn’t be gathering dust. Jus sayin
Great postIf its any consolation, if I opted for the Series X it likely would have been gathering dust the minute I unpacked it
Paying 1.3k ish, but it's local so I get to actually have the console before paying, see it working etc. I'd rather pay extra for that safety.
Wow
Jesus fecking Christ.
Look at @Ødegaard being able to afford to see it working!
