PlayStation 5 Pre-Orders Starting TOMORROW (Sep 17) (Some may be TODAY)

Stupid fucking best buy. Added to cart, after 50 refreshes, finally let me get to checkout, after 50 refreshes, told me pick up wasn't available anymore then had to choose shipping, after 50 more attempts, told me it's sold out. And I was there right when it went live, fucking ridiculous
 
Maybe MS has to price more aggressive but the XSX is $499 USD as well but their CAD price is $599 according to the Xbox Canada Twitter.

Psychologically it would've felt much better to spend high $600s on my PS5 rather than low $700s lol.

TBH BB should be ashamed at themselves. Embarrassing beyond belief. Sony also deserves to be chastised for causing this mess also. They should have said a definite date for pre-orders and given at least a weeks notice.

Scrolling through ebay and there's already at least 20 pages of scalper listing. One guy is listing his at 1700 buck and already sold 6.

Same boat here
 
I got charged 2x by Target. 1 of them was removed, but 1 is still there.
I was charged for my walmart pre order. I also got a confirmation email with tracking the order. Though my bank says the purchase is pending which I would assume to mean walmart won't like actually fully process the payment until the ship the console?

Anyways, all seems good rn for me. Hope it doesn't get cancelled.

This is similar to what happened to me, except I had accessories in my cart as well due to having added a bundle to my cart (extra controller, charging dock, and headphones). I completed the checkout process but the console itself disappeared from my cart, LOL. My only hope now is Amazon.

Same, but for Target. Pending payment until actually shipped.

THE THIRST IS REAL. I think this was a huge success for Sony. This is WAY better then the console not selling out at all at any retail outlets. Amazon usually has the largest allocation so I wouldn't worry if you couldn't get one from one of the big box stores.
 
I canceled my Amazon Germany preorder. I'm guessing it'll be Region 2 locked for blu rays. No point in dealing with a crippled PS5 when I can get one next year.
 
I did not get an email from PlayStation for a pre-order invite.........what's even the point?? They just randomly chose who they email?
 
Did Game UK already do their preorders?
Edit: yep their email went into my spam and it's sold out now

I dont need two consoles, walmart fucked me over with some bf deals and cancelled them so I need other plans. If all orders pull through ill grab some mom on facebook marketplace and sell them for price and give them the receipt. If no one is interested , back to store.

Dick move to the max bro. That's one less ps5 out there for another person to have.

Yeah. So I guess it'll show up as pending payment in my bank account until it ships.

Also, none of my other friends who pre ordered from target had it cancelled, so it may just be our one friend's payment information

It could be whatever card they used too, it's why I stick to my redcard for purchases on their site. Don't want my bank to get jittery and not let my debit card go through (Have had this happen over as little as 100 bucks at Walmart.com). I know what sites I can use my regular card at and which it's just easier to use one of my credit cards. It's good banks look out for us on this stuff, but when you are only gonna have a 5 minute window you can't risk this stuff
 
Ouch

Hope you all get one through Amazon, I'm gonna just stick out my Target order unless I can get a local pickup order in since I don't usually get packages til the end of shipping day and don't want to tie up 550 on another site
