Simply Games sent me an email saying you can pre-order now but the website still says "Register Interest".

Good news indeed.
I registered back in February and managed to confirm eventually about 10am this morning, I've had no email confirmation yet but I guess it'll pause until they know how many they will have to send out.

Edit: Nvm it's also OOS.

So, I landed two pre-orders. One on Game and one on Smyths.
Thank god I did get the Smyths one as well, because god knows what’s going on with Game. No confirmation email, no pre order listed in account... it’s a problem very many seem to be having. Half expecting an email to tell me the pre order is cancelled
Smyths pretty reliable in the past though, so hopefully all good

Simplygames and GAME are not options for me in terms of launch day. They can and will take your money regardless of allocated units or logistic limitations. I've had situations with both where I'm waiting for a game to arrive and didn't.
I went to game today to get a PS5 and they wouldn't take my money so perhaps they're aware of previous mistakes.
Still refreshing amazon.

I get you're worried about landing one but its really annoying when people preorder 2 whilst only needing one.So, I landed two pre-orders. One on Game and one on Smyths.

Secured a digital version from game, can't wait. They sent me a confirm email straight away so should be all good

I heard 10am too but looks like they went up earlier, already sold out.
Argos have apparently been live since 5am according to the chat on hotukdeals.
Now looks to have sold out.

Possible. Also possible its s sloppy precursor job getting ready for 10am launch. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Perhaps they are sold out if the post before mine is true
Why can't stores stick to the times they state? What an absolute shit show this whole preorder ordeal is. Thanks Sony.

What a clusterfuck. Honestly. Retailers are pieces of shit. How hard is it to stick a banner on your website, with a date/time of preorders. Amazon and Currys did well despite me not getting anything on currys.

Weren't Argos saying midnight in replies to people on Twitter? As I said earlier I'm glad I was still awake when Game started theirs - I think I'd have missed out otherwise!

How do you know I only need one? And it’s a plastic game box, chill out.

Realised my current headset's getting a firmware update for PS5, phew. Girlfriend's started working from home in the living room while I have a week off to play with this thing

Doesn’t sound like you needed two. And yes it is a plastic box but if you’re taking up two orders just because you need to make sure you get one then you’re a bit of a bellend.

And you’re just pissed off because you didn’t get a pre order in. Stop assuming what other people need or want.

I actually got one from Amazon and cancelled my Shopto one. Tell me to stop assuming but you just did the same thing yourself. Hypocrite.

You have no idea what I plan to do with a second Ps5 if both preorders come in. Fuck off. Ignored and reported.

Aight. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to get a couple if they can when certain retailers are being super vague about this stuff. Mine's through Currys and I foolishly didn't write the order number down on the page at the time, so I have nothing other than a £5 bank transaction as proof of purchase at the moment.

Missed out by minutes again, this time on Argos.
Nitty_Grimes
Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
By 08:30 Argos website had ‘sorry PlayStation 5 is unavailable’ place holders up.
I know you say missed out by minutes but I haven’t seen that message change since that time.

Arctis pro wireless but your link states that the headset connects via usb dongle. It doesn't. It connects via optical port. I love the audio from this headset and I'm kinda worried it'll be obsolete when the PS5 launches as SS haven't given any official word.

Got my Digital at 6.30am on Argos (was slow as treacle even at that time).

It's got both, I use the USB on mine, on PC at least. The link's source is the official SS site two days ago: https://steelseries.com/blog/arctis-xbox-series-x-playstation-5-compatibility-headsets-344

Interesting. I got to payment, then spinning never ended, then it was unavailable. Maybe it depends on area.

Did Amazon ever have the charging station available? If they did I missed it. Really hated the staggered release of accessories. I don't think any retailer did this perfectly.
The Nvidia 3000 graphics cards were even worse if you can believe that lol.

Pretty sure they did have the charging station but it sold out super quickly.
Strange that there’s still Dual sense controllers available but no charging stands.

Stereo audio
That's a problem considering the loss in audio fidelity.
Yeah, I'm not gonna be using them all the time, for me it's an emergency situation where I don't wanna disturb the person working behind me while I'm off work for that first week.
They had it, yeah, nearly everything's gone now.
