Didn't get a 2nd through this. Pre-ordered the first through Wal-Mart the other day.

I sort of assumed it would be the other way around. The disk version seemed more popular going by other articles.

I've got the majority of my games digital, but I still have a lot of them on discs. Digital only was a no-go for me.

I dunno man, really, but logically wise , most people are price sensitive so more expensive versions tend to stay on the shelf for longer.

Damn mine was more expensive. That NY tax. This was awesome. Exactly at 1PM Eastern time I signed in. Waited 23 mins. And bought a PS5. I only bought a digital one cause it looks nicer. The Disc one looks like it has a tumor.

I'm not sure how the choosing process went, but I didn't get an invite and have been invested in the ecosystem for years:
PsOne
Ps2
Ps3
Ps+ adopter
Psp
vita
Ps Move
Ps4
Ps4 pro
Psvr launch
Psvr gen2

So many variables, really. I personally always went with a premium versions.
Starting from 60Gb chrome PS3 to slim PS3, from bigger hdd PS4 to PS4Pro.
Both gens 1st revisions proved to be a higher quality than next ones.
From my precious 599$ PS3 they took away PS2 disk support and first batch of PS4Pro comes with a jet engines under the hood.

Was the system just there on the store page when you got there or did you have to go and find it?

US only? I forgot they seem to think that the US = the entire world.

This. I assumed, like a dumb person, this was done with some thought put into it. You have 100 systems to sell, you send out 100 invites. Instead, it was had 100 and sent out a few thousand.

PPL seem to forget there's currently 113 Million PS4 Sold worldwide... Meaning there's 113 Millions customers that probably want one at launch, and Sony will probably at best be able to ship 4-6 Millions unit for launch if we're being optimist ... Granted not everyone of the existing fans want one / can afford one, but there's also people that were on other platforms that might jump in... So all in all , there's way more PPL dying to buy a console that Sony can produce in a covid-ridden world where everything is slowed down in terms of production and distribution of goods.

Yes, There were big Pictures of both PS5 Sku models with the Add to cart box at the bottom. There was also preorder pictures for the extra controller and headphones.

Oddly enough i literally just went to the playstation direct page again in a tab i had just to check order details for my order and it redirected me to another preorder page and both PS5s were present. I'm thinking there is some type of priority for availability here or something.

I imagine the RTX 3000 crowd is probably right there with us. Ps5 seems easier to get than the FE card.

The Sony preorder website worked surprisingly well. I waiting in the queue about 15 minutes and was put into the store. Snagged a disc version for myself. The one I got Wednesday at Target has become a gift to my brother. I was able to change the shipping address to his. He's going to be getting a nice surprise.

Having issues because you don't have enough product to everybody is not "bad" I guess.There was lots of bad press on how the release of preorders was conducted. Do you want links?

Same, Digital through Walmart and Disc version through Sony, so i now have 2 PS5 consoles coming to me on launch day.
I might be willing to path ways with one assuming anyone is willing to pay my shipping cost plus tax that i paid on it. I really don't need 2 consoles, it was an impulse fomo buy. Lmao

I literally just tried the link 30 seconds later preordered. Sorry bud
Seriously it kinda sucks that nobody is willing to share the link directly to the console page. For those of us that sat in queue only to have the website show us a controller and headset, it's super depressing.

You'll get it, i got my receipt about 30 minutes after i ordered. Check your payment method, you would see a charge plus chargeback they use to confirm your payment works.

Eh. Like I said, I'm more annoyed about how this was handled than not getting a pre-order in.
I'm sure more will be up in the week to come.
