I've understood from some people that they are receiving their FIRST DEV KIT this friday. I expect some news from sony before GDC.

I wasnt familiar but it seems to be a large retailer who is opening up their preorder page. If you arent interested in teh topic then just dont post.

Just an FYI, it you order at Curry’s they have an exclusive deal where you likely won’t get a console at launch, but at a higher cost. Also, if you have any issues with your console, they will guarantee to NOT help you.
Second in bad service in the UK only to GAME.

Currys is owned by the Dixon’s/Carphone warehouse group
they shut almost all Dixon’s a few years ago. Now you mainly only see them at airports, in The duty free zone

It's funny how they open banging on about the controller and end saying how excited they are for the controller to get in the hands of developers .

I myself opted for radio rentals, with a 50p meter to make the payments.I've preordered from Rumbelows

Good choice. I would recommend going to Toys R Us first though. I remember first playing the PS1 at a demo kiosk there and I'm sure they'll have a PS5 one this summer. It's always best to try before you buy.

Haha, I've only spent 2 years of the past 10 in the UK, but I do remember hearing something about Dixons and Curry's.
I went back to my old Childhood haunt the last time I was back to see what had changed. That high street was a good hour walk/ 20 minute buss ride from my old house, which seemed a long way back then. The WH Smiths was still there, and they even had a few people reading the magazines, but most of the gaming ones had gone (that "new magazine smell" brought back memories though). The Dixons was still there, but I think it had rebranded as Curry's (my strongest memory there is trying the then brand new CD-i, but not being able to find any games for it). I tried to look for the small games import shop in the indoor market, but it wasn't there (probably long gone). I remember seeing the Revenge of Shinobi Jap import there - only the title screen as the red haired lady who ran the shop didn't let us young scamps play. They also had a SFII arcade machne, but that was always occupied by scary-looking teenagers.
I wonder where most UK people will buy there consoles from this gen. Amazon?

Yep I went Amazon last gen and had no issues at all. So many electronic/game retailers in the UK have financial difficulties, you have to be very careful where you pre order from as you never know if they will be around in half a years time.

Do some stores still do that "midnight release" thing, or is that now a thing of the past?

It's actually Currys/PC World. Quite a good shop really. Not sure if that's where I pre-ordered my PS4!

I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe for the very biggest games.
I'm happy to wait to get it delivered the next morning. Just need then to announce the date so I can book some time off work!

lol as if the PS5 is a niche product and they are gauging interest WTF. Curry's and all retailers will gobble up as many as they can get their hands on, and they will sell out.
Don't understand this, other than some sort of data grabbing operation?

Ordered mine from Woolworths. Too good an opportunity to miss.

Why not just use Amazon or a local store?

No way. ANDYS Records faxed me and said they were having an open day this Feb 29th.

PlayStation didn't even exist the last time I visited my local Toy & Hobby, but I'm sure they've got them in now.
I've bought a bunch of stuff from them over the last few years or so, my experience has only been positive. Good pricing and good service.

Currys ruined PCworld, used to be full of computer hardware now it's all washing machines and iPads.
