Some gamers who pre-ordered the console from retailer Game were met with frustrating delays, with Game blaming courier firm Yodel for the delay. Oops. Others were luckier though and have already received their new toy (and are looking pretty damn overjoyed about it on social media)…
Gaming lovers have been going wild today as the new Playstation 5 launches on online retailers in the UK. The Game website was inaccessible, Curry’s had huge virtual queues, and Amazon’s 12pm launch crashed the site within minutes (of course, Twitter was alight with memes…)
Unsurprising really, as there’s never been a better time to game, given that we’re all in lockdown 2. 0. The one upside of having to stay at home?
The serious hours of gameplay we can put in.
I, Reecieboy, take you, #PS5 , to be my console, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to @yosp holy law, and this is my solemn vow
