We suppose it was going to happen eventually in this social media world: fans are now livestreaming their attempts to secure PS5 stock. Imagine our surprise when YouTube recommended us a video earlier today of one gamer named Poy refreshing the PlayStation Direct page. We checked the video history and, at the time of typing, he’s been at it for five-and-a-half hours!
There are some parts of the video with commentary, while others parts are just him refreshing and being told there’s no stock available. Obviously, it doesn’t make for the most riveting viewing ever, but we suppose it speaks to the demand of Sony’s device that this is the length people are willing to go to get one. The amazing thing is that this is already his second attempt; he did a three-hour stream earlier in the week.
Perhaps he’d be more sensible if he referred to our PS5 stock guide, or looked into how to get PS5 stock notifications. Either way, we hope he’s able to get a console soon!

You’ve watched paint dry, you’ve watched the snooker, now get ready for watching dudes refresh a page!
Watch them accidentally leak their credit card information.
F5 in the chat
My younger brother snagged one but he forgot to type the whole address... pray for him
"Tier 3 sub from GrimGamer553 he says- oh out-of-stock already? Fuuuuuuu...." ---This steam is offline---
i ordered mine from argos in september..money went out of my accoun...have i heard back with a tracking number or even a thanks for all ya cash..no..no i havent..just going to sit there all frikkin day waiting like a 220 pound tensed up lemon gripping a rubiks cube and stress solving the mother..
Well... with all the hype (on this site also) for almost a year, it's no wonder. I for one will be using the ps4pro for months to come. I just hope the ps4 and the millions playing on it, isn't left behind ... I'll get the Ps5 when everything calms down
@gamer_since_83 sounds like i will be doing exactly the same as you. Completed Miles morales over the weekend and not once did i say to myself "man i wish i was playing it on a ps5" game still looked outstanding. I think if i played it on the ps5, initially id say wow, look at all the reflections etc, forget about them and enjoy the game exactly the same as i did on the pro.
@Total_Weirdo unless you're stupid of course
Yeah, apparently some people will watch anything.
Insert I don't want to live on this planet anymore meme.
On the other side of the coin...
I got an email from GAME today, they have given over the PS5 to Yodel, (🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼), who will send me an email with a 2 hour delivery window tomorrow morning.
Don't tell me, let me guess, it's 8pm to 10pm...
(Shameless plug alert) Well, that’s just silly. Why don’t they do a charity live stream of PS4 games to celebrate the legacy of an awesome console. You know, like this one: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/ps4tftm
👍
We are hours away! Debating going to the midnight launch or just being sensible and getting it on my lunch break tomorrow. Haha.
mankind really is doomed, sure we are some galactic reality show about the most stupid planet in the universe
Well they are stuck between a rock & a hard place: finding time to secure a PS5 & having the world revolve around them all at the same time. This is multitasking for a new generation......the Wall-E generation!
Free marketing for Sony.
If people enjoy watching someone else do something enjoyable then why not this? If people are willing to watch someone else play a video game then this isn’t surprising. Let some cute girl or dude with wild hair post a vid and it gets a million views easy. Not to mention Sony possibly sending them a console for their dedication.

@gibbleking if Argos is like game they emailed today, the day before release, so keep checking your emails. It my fingers crossed for you!
Can we just end Social Media?
@NEStalgia if only it were possible
@Philbop happy sausage time...just got my confirmation email...dpd are vdelivering first thing tomorow
@gibbleking that’s awesome! I’m really happy for you! Mine should come tomorrow too! So excited to try the haptic feed back, swing around as spider man and get my butt kicked on demons souls! Got GodFall as well, not really sure why though....what games have you got?
If these streams have loads of viewers then I officially don't understand the internet.
@nessisonett Nothing wrong with watching the snooker.
Wow. Stories like this make me happy to be the age that I am. I don't understand this younger generation. I'm sure my father said that about me too.
@Philbop i recently sold both consoles and all my games to help towards the new ones..i got the series x too so ive only got one kidney left...any crimbo cash will be going on building up an awesom collection of games from ps4s backlog as well as the cyberpunk doohicky if reviews are good...i do have no mans sky which i play a lot..plus a wedge of 360 games as they are dirt cheap......will be spending the day in the hallway staring at the front door..dpd are bringing mine which means i can track it to the minute ....
I got a series x too, had to save for a couple of months to afford both, but worth it hahaha. Fingers crossed we get them today buddy!
@Philbop been having a blast with the white lump,itsso quiet..love the controller too....ive been mostly base building on no mans sky and saving up for cyberpunk when it arrives in just over a weeks time...
Glad you’ve been having fun with yours too! I think the games are amazing and are really good fun. It is really quiet, apart from the disk drive when that comes on to load a game up hahaha. Overall I think the Xbox is slightly quieter, but doesn’t have any games to push it. Prefer the PlayStation though, better games that look better
@DualshockInfinit UPDATE
His came after all but Sony messed up and thought we never received it. So they are sending another one for FREE! This year just got a whole lot better!
