19QOS19 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Tbf there's not actually any games that you need a new Xbox to play so Fortnite is as good as any. PS5 at least had a few exclusives but I've rattled through the ones I'm interested in and am almost exclusively playing FIFA now which seems as ridiculous as Fortnite. It highlights the stupidity though. He wanted to get them a PS5 but settled for an Xbox because he didn't want to wait. Not waiting for the PS5 when all they play is Fortnite is absolutely moronic IMO - just continue to play Fortnite on the current console until you get the console you wanted. Though nothing surprises me with my in-laws now tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 My 2011-bought PS3 slim still works, but you need to press the power button quite hard to turn it on. I've changed the thermal paste on it twice. I need to do the same to my PS4 Pro but I haven't had the nerve to try and open it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Only my original PS2 chucked it, the rest still work. My original SNES struggles a bit with some games, but most still work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Managed to order a PS5 from Smyths Toys this morning I tried for an hour.Had one in my basket, tried to checkout a ridiculous amount of times, it finally asked me for delivery details, kicked me out, tried another ridiculous amount of times, then got to the payment section and got kicked out again.All the stock seemed to go within a minute on a couple of occasions this morning.Game are meant to be releasing some again next week, so that means the stock will be hacked by tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to be on Twitter just as a PS5 stock account I had followed tweeted that they'd just put stock up. Managed to get on and get one straight away. It errors just after the payment screen and I thought I'd missed it, but it refreshed to a confirmation screen and I got an email through confirming it. Because I'm a good c**t and I'm not actually desperate for one, I've offered it to a friend who was trying desperately to get one for her son for Christmas. I'll get another one next time they start to restock. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a much nicer person than I will ever be [emoji23].Trying not to get annoyed about it, it's the fact there will be hundreds if not thousands sitting in storage because these greedy c'nts are charging £800 for one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, you expect the odd snag with them but the trigger thing in particular seems to be rife. Thankfully I'm no stranger to cracking controllers open so I did it with my first one (being careful to leave no signs of doing so) to make sure it was spring-related. Got on to Argos live chat yesterday thinking they'd offer me a swap, but managed to somehow get a £60 refund out of them and used that to buy a new controller. Now waiting on some replacement springs off eBay to fix the first one, so for the cost of a bit of hassle I'll end up with a free spare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious how bad Sony or whoever has made an arse of this. It's been comparatively zero hassle to get an Xbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable that scalpers are still running supreme at this stage.I was refreshing the page and clicking on the bundle, got lucky and it added to my basket within seconds of the drop. Then the website crashed, over an hour refreshing the basket, got to the delivery details section but it had ran out of stock by then. Was a bawhair away from getting one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
