I could only secure a regular PS5 Pro, all other limited items were OOS.
What about you guys?

I got to secure a RTX 5090 first, then if I see a PS5PRO sitting on a shelf at a store I'll impulse buy one.

Got the regular Pro. Figured that I didn't really need the anniversary edition as I like to hide my consoles behind. Guess I saved 300 bucks for my son's Taekwondo class.
Edit:
Just got the confirmation from Sony. I think I'll eventually order again on Amazon for better customer service and cash back. But at least for now it gives me peace of mind.

Got the regular Pro despite insisting it was anniversary or nothing, clucking like a fucking chicken trying to resist hitting add to cart.

Got the regular (didn’t want the gray one anyway), disc drive and vertical stand preordered from Sony Direct.
Stupidly expensive, but it’s my main platform and my launch one is having some overheating issues—probably just needs a deep clean, but it’s a pain and a ton of screws to get into clean the power supply etc. Between that and more games lately looking rough in performance mode, I’d rather just sell it and upgrade.
Imagine I can ride the Pro out at least a couple years into the PS6 generation since lots of stuff will be cross gen with every generation transition going forward anyway.
Main gripe is for $700 the disc drive and stand should have been included, but I need both so shelled out for them.

I managed a regular after another 75 excruciating minutes
The Sony team gets off on my anxiety. Bastards.

Got a regular pro. Would have loved a special edition but I’m not sure if Canada even got them and if they did the low production numbers made the fight not worth it

In the US, $999.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I got the regular pro. I wanted the 30th anniversary one, but naturally, couldn't get one. Kinda meh about the Pro to begin with and that whole experience put a sour taste in my mouth, but I'll probably want it by the time it actually ships. I did grab a 30th anniversary controller, so I guess there's that.

Thanks to

for suggesting Amazon for the $17 stand. It looks identical from what I can tell, and it should work with the Pro, right?

It should but would it shock anyone if Sony says oh, it takes a totally different stand after all?Got the regular Pro
Thanks to
I couldn't imagine paying $700 for the pro console but feeling good about saving like 12 bucks on the stand.

Yeah, that’s part of my reasoning too. One of the main things holding me back from going PC is the long gap for Sony games getting ported as a lot of those I want to play day one and not get spoiled on story etc.
So figured it’s better to just shell out for this, sell my PS5 to knock the out of pocket costs some and rock PS5 Pro for a few years and see if they start porting to PC more consistently and with less delay as we head into the PS6 generation.

Honestly it wasn't about saving money to me it was about not giving Sony the $30 for a stand they should have included

I wanted to buy the 30th Anniversary one but it seems I had a better chance of winning the lottery. I will probably wait for GTAVI to buy it.

Yeah, about 30 minutes ago. It was the first time all day I was able to put anything in my card, got to step 3 but never step 4 in the order. Apparently they had 150 total for the whole country.
