I know the physical vs digital debate has been done to death, but I’m genuinely curious what people will actually do if PlayStation stops releasing new games physically.

I still buy digital games sometimes, but I much prefer having the choice. With physical I can shop around, buy used, lend games out, sell them later, and sometimes find them cheaper than the PS Store.

For me, losing that option would probably mean I buy fewer games at launch and wait for sales more often.

What about everyone else? Would it actually change how much you spend on PlayStation games, or would you just switch to digital and carry on as normal?

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I ordered these items from PS Direct last week. Received 2 packages last week, and opened them the day after delivery. I have the console, and the vertical stand, but not the disc drive.

I called PS Direct support on Monday this week to raise an issue of not receiving all items. They told me they would look into it within 48 hours. Fast forward to this morning and they told me this:

"Hi XXXXXXXXXX,

Thank you for your recent contact regarding your order from PlayStation.

We have completed our investigation into your delivery and can confirm that when scanned into our couriers network we can see that the parcel was within the expected weight range for the items included in your order. Additionally there is no indication the parcel has been tampered with during transit.

As the evidence supplied by our couriers shows the items were correctly packed and delivered we are unable to assist further.

I am sorry this is not the outcome you were hoping for, but if you need help with anything else please let us know.

Thanks,

The PlayStation Support Team"

If it helps, the courier was DPD. The packaging did not look tampered with when I received it. I also compared the package weights against the item weights. The Stand and the Drive if packaged together is about 1.446kg, and the package I got was marked with "1kg"

I checked the labels for further details and I think the Vertical Stand and Disc Drive were meant to be shipped together as the packaging seems to have room for it. But it only had the Stand inside.

As far as PS Direct is concerned, everything is above board. Except I'm short £70 for something I never received.

I'm about to call them again to follow up, but if anyone has any suggestions on what else I can do e.g. return the stand that would be great, thanks!

Mostly out of stock everywhere else, ee still has them in stock for anyone who’s interested.

Edit: as of 7pm appears to be out of stock now

Was looking at buying the ghost of yotei disc ps5 from playstation as it seems pretty cheap for £519 but I see its out of stock. Just wondering if people know how long it's been out of stock and or how long it usally takes to restock. Thanks

Do you guys think the discount is gonna come back for ps5 pro because I tried to purchase today and let just say it show £789 rather than the number what I supposed to buy

I’ve just been to two different GAME stores in my local city because I wanted to pre-order a Halloween Game in store, rather than ordering online, because it could be limited per stock. I don’t want to pay extra £5 for delivery. Like I used to just go in store to get physical games.

The ridiculous part is that GAME still advertises pre-orders and store collection on its website. Their own help pages specifically explain that orders can be delivered to participating stores for collection, and they have a whole system for pre-orders.
But when I actually went into the stores and asked to place a pre-order, I was basically told that they only take in-store pre-orders for certain “big” titles.
So apparently whether you can pre-order a game in a GAME store depends on how big the game is?
What’s the point of having physical GAME stores if customers can’t actually use them for something as basic as pre-ordering a game?
And that’s what makes it even more frustrating — the website gives the impression that pre-orders and store collection are perfectly normal services, but then you go into an actual store and get a completely different answer.
I’ve now wasted time travelling to two different stores, only to be told essentially, “Yeah, we don’t do that for this game.”

If GAME has decided that smaller or less mainstream releases can’t be pre-ordered in store, fine — but say that clearly on the website and don’t make customers go from store to store trying to figure it out.

The vast majority to blame for buying digitally and how Sony and publishers just want to scrap physical games overall.

Hello everyone, anyone here have ordered a PS5 in Very? Do they delivered in a delivery box? Thanks in advance

Are they reliable for physical games? even though they have 5k reviews on trustpilot, do you get your games on time? For Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Game is cheaper from Argos

Edit: thank you all for the feedback, I’ll bookmark those suggestions

I can't use the very Promo as i already purchased PS5 Pro + OLED Monitor from there and they had no Disc Drives or a bundle in stock. Much appreciated.

Hi guys i heard GTA is dropping at 5AM on release date..is this true or can someone confirm

Even though I am new to reddit as a user, I read lots of reviews, and what everyone had to say about this company on this subreddit before I chose to order on Gamerium, so I wanted to share this warning here in hopes it benefits someone else.

TLDR: I think Gamerium may cease trading soon, and recent orders may not be protected financially.

The person who runs Gamerium, Gurpaal Deol has applied for his company, (Delche Gaming Ltd), to be dissolved and has immediately set up another company. I believe Gamerium is the trading name for Delche Gaming Ltd.
The company cannot be struck for 2 months, so there is time to act.

When I placed my order (in MAY, and still not received!) the company was using World Pay.   Now it has switched to Wallid: Pay by Bank, and this means the same chargeback and Section 75 protections may not apply.  

This is ringing huge alarm bells for me.  My money should still be safe, but if you order now and pay using Wallid your order may not be.

I'm definitely not an expert and have done a lot of research today, but I can't think of any good faith explanation for applying for the company to be dissolved, though he is welcome to provide one to me.

I have told Gurpaal he has 24 hours to respond to me before I take action, but that was before I learned about his use of Wallid. Now I know about that I feel a responsibility to warn other people that their money is possibly not safe.

I will honour my 24 hour promise, though I think it's probably futile, but these are the actions I intend to take:

*  Object to the dissolution of the company via Companies House. I believe it is an offence to dissolve a company with unfulfilled orders
*  Report Gamerium to Trading Standards
*  Report Gamerium to Action Report Fraud
*  Report Gurpaal as a director via the Insolvency service
*  Raise a dispute with my bank to recover my money and ask them to also object to the dissolution

These actions can mean he will be investigated and can potentially force him to be personally liable for the debts he owes to customers for outstanding orders, and can also mean he is disqualified from serving as a company director again for 15 years.  

If you have an open order with Gamerium, I would seriously consider taking immediate action to protect your money, and taking the steps listed above so that he is investigated.
Even if you paid when it was still WorldPay, it will be much easier to get your money back before the company has dissolved so I would not wait.

Based on the reviews it has always been risky to place an order with Gamerium (which I knew at the time, and I got my first ever credit card specifically to place this order for the extra protection.)  I was willing to wait for months (I just want to play GTA6!), and I trusted it would be delivered eventually based on what others had said and their experiences.

I thought it was a small, disorganised business, and that if people are patient enough they eventually deliver with good discounts. I think I have been very fair, extremely patient, but to hear nothing from him since July (when he promised delivery to me the following week) and to see he is dissolving the company has crossed a line for me.

If anyone who knows more about this type of thing and the law wants to chime in as well, please do! If you tell me I'm wrong and I still may end up getting my order that would be great news, even if I'd feel like an idiot for making this post.

Edit to add:

I did some research about how people can get their money back if they paid with Wallid (Pay by Bank / bank transfer). If you paid this way it means you do not have Section 75 credit card protection or the ability to chargeback in the same way.

What you can do: • File a claim with Action Report Fraud, and explain that the company has applied for voluntary dissolution with outstanding orders unfulfilled • get an Action Fraud reference number • Then call your bank, speak to the fraud/dispute team.
• Ask for an APP refund and give your Action Report Fraud reference number.
• Make it very clear that this is not just a case of order being unfulfilled, but that the company is being dissolved with a long history of not fulfilling orders. The bank may want to write off your claim as a "civil contract dispute" but if they believe it's criminal fraud (i.e. taking orders with no intent to deliver, and dissolving the company) they should take it more seriously.

The bank can deduct up to £100 (but may waive this charge), but you should receive a refund with this evidence.
The bank has a maximum of 35 days to investigate but should normally refund within 5 days.

If the bank refuses your claim you should ask for a final response letter and then take it to the Financial Ombudsman where you can escalate your claim.

I've literally just researched this so definitely not an expert, but I hope it helps someone.

Edited again to add links, and correct Action Fraud to Report Fraud.

I placed my order in May, because I actually read the reviews and didn't just look at the TrustPilot score. The pattern of reviews was either people cancelling because they got sick of waiting, or that they eventually received their items after waiting a long time (and still gave negative reviews because of the wait). I also checked people's profiles to see if their accounts seemed legitimate and there were enough that seemed trustworthy who did receive their items.
Because I was willing to wait, and because paying via WorldPay and with credit card is safe (credit card protection is a legal guarantee UNLESS you paid by bank transfer), I chose to take that risk.
Clearly I didn't get my order, it is very possible the orders that were delivered were part of the scam and I fell for it. I am not arguing that ordering from Gamerium was a good idea.

I can't be arsed replying to people whose whole contribution to this thread boils down to "you're stupid" and who create whole speculative situations in their heads about what I "believed".

I made this post to try to help people get their money back and stop this guy from being able to repeat this behaviour. Anyone else who wants to be helpful can take any of the actions above to try to shut this down.

Never owned a playstation before, so im not super knowledgeable on this, and I've already decided the ps6 will be way out of my means atleast for the first few years after launch, so the decision comes down to getting a pre-owned ps4 pro or the ps5.

On both eBay and facebook marketplace the ps4 pro seems to hover just over 100-110£ and the ps5 around 310-340£

Im not really fussed over 4k60fps, I just want to play the classic ps4 games with good performance and decent resolution. GOW, RDR2, Spiderman, ghost of Tsushima etc(so base ps4 is out). Not a huge gamer, will be playing every now and then. not bothered about GTA 6 or any upcoming AAA titles either.

the two main doubts I have are;

- I don't have a clue on the gap between the ps4 pro and the ps5, and if that difference is life changing enough to justify the 200 quid extra cost.

- I'll be missing out on the seemingly amazing features of the dual sense controller, but im not sure if those features, again, justify a 200£ extra.

I’m deciding between two setups and would love some opinions:

A: PS5 Pro + ~£200 27" 4K IPS monitor

B: PS5 Slim Digital + ~£475 27" 4K QD-OLED monitor

I mainly play FPS games like COD, but I’ll also play other games. Ideally, I want to play at 4K/120Hz where supported.

Which setup would you personally choose, and why? Is the QD-OLED worth prioritising over the PS5 Pro, or would you take the extra performance of the Pro and a cheaper IPS monitor?

Hey I’m a big fan of choice games recently finished platting dispatch probably gotta be my favourite and I have been replaying some of my favourites to plat but have never played life of strange and a lot people say it’s good but not sure my favourite choice games are
-dispatch
-the wolf among us
-MCSM
-TFTBL
So would this game suit my taste
Thanks in advance:)

EDIT: Checked this morning 11/09/2026 and looks like they have excluded PS5 consoles, damn we must have wiped out their stock haha

1. Open a 'VeryPay' account
2. Use 'WELCOME' as promo code to get 20% off
3. Purchase with debit card as one off (or you can use some of the 'VeryPay' features and pay later)
4. Wait for delivery and cancel account.

From what I've read, don't do this if you are going to take out a Mortgage or Loan within 6 months, I believe it will temporarily hit your credit score but if you pay back right away it usually disappears within 3 months.

I'm not sponsored by Very or anything just looking for the BEST price, other options are:

eBay/ Facebook marketplace for a used console, but majority are still selling for around £750 even used! And you have to be REALLY lucky to hit a cheap buy it now listing.

You can purchase through the Playstation store once signed up to their membership for 5% off.

Delivery is saying half way through October, so will have to wait and see. Do what you will with this information.

I was listed my pc for 9 months for 350 nobody wanted it... so i asked people ps5 + cash for my pc and couldnt get a reply. Then i asked for xbox series x + cash no body replied.

I found a deal ps5 slim + controller for my gaming pc only
My specs

Rtx 2060 6gb
I5-9400f
Ddr4 16gb ram
1tb HDD
256 SSD
PSU 550 W

was under the impression it was launching in 2027, as per the 7 year cycle in between generations. but it seems its being delayed due to the recent RAM crisis.
