Good timing or what…

[Kingster]

So I was chatting to the Missus over breakfast and we discussed how much I still was enjoying the PS4 games she bought be for Xmas. 
 

So do you not fancy a PS5 then? Says the wife. 
 

Well, I figured it was rude not to (as she’d just given me a nod) so looked on Argos and bought one, picked it up 15 mins later. Sweet. 
 

I then mentioned this to a mate who said “WHERE!!!! Where did you get it!!!” So I told him and too late - no stock - he was gutted as he’s been dying to get one for ages. 
 

I had no idea that they were out of stock for months and that the long awaited resupply was early today at only a few places inc Argos - and that I maybe got the last one at the shop by pure fluke 🤭

Looks sweet though 😁

Jeez, we've been trying to source one for a client for over six months!

Yeah just like my mate. Don’t think he’s talking to me now 🤣

Just as well, you don't have time to be wasting your time with friends now, more time to game with your new PS! 😉

More importantly... what the devil is that, and does it actually belong in the living room?

 

Actually, don’t answer that, I’m don’t think I want to know. 😬

It’s a Sonic Screwdiver TV remote of course!

 

sheesh I thought everyone had one 🙄

I’ve been trying to get a PS5 for months now. Absolutely refuse to buy one from the scalpers though, I’ll go without before giving those scum any profit.

I've got a Xbox Series X, but I see myself getting a PS5 in the not so distant future (If I can actually get one for retail price). But I'd need to find somewhere to put it, the thing looks huge!

It’s maybe 5-6x bigger than my old PS4 

[corsechris]

Whoo Hoo!!   Just got an email from Currys...I've 'won' the opportunity to buy a PS5 in their lottery. Scooted straight over to my local branch and got my name down. I entered their 'lottery' a couple of months ago when it became clear stocks weren't likely too improve any time soon.

 

I've seen folk b***hing about the fact you have to buy a bundle, but the offerings are all pretty reasonable I think - machine + extra controller, machine + a game or machine + PS Plus voucher.  Choice of disc or disc-less machines. Of course, I went for Ratchet & Clank, but in a cruel piece of torture, the chap let me take the game away with me although I'll have to wait up to 3 weeks after the lottery close date of 13th before I get the actual machine to play it on...the horror!!

 

 

Hope the cabinet is big enough for the thing.

[Kingster]

It’s worth it - ps5 kicks ass 😁👍

[corsechris]

Oh frabjous day…….  Just collected my PS5 from Currys. It did fit the cabinet, thankfully.

 

Letting it copy games etc from the PS4 now and enjoying just chilling in the garden. I think it wise to make the most of our brief summer

[corsechris]

….and it seems I need to apologise to all PSN users. As soon as my PS5 arrives, PSN crashes…

 

(yes, really, whole load of online services have just tanked, PSN included. I was looking at downdetector.com earlier…….but with such delightful irony, it seems to be down now)
