PS5 Pre-Order Via Invitation Goes Up in Few Hours (First Come First Serve)

That's weird for me they were the first thing at the top of the page, in fact it remembered my other items I had placed in the cart, the games and accessories.
 
Ah man. Does your card sometimes send you messages through your phone asking if you made the purchase? Otherwise I'm not sure. Maybe just its slow on Sony's end, with all the traffic? Hope it goes through.
It does occasionally. No email or hold is somewhat worrisome. I was able to pre order the disc version plus a controller and camera.
 
I think cheaper sku going away faster, so if you're not too price sensitive you should roll for a version with a disk drive.

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.
 
It's a shitty move. giving invites to loyal players should guarantee a console.
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
 
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.
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.
 
can't believe the invites are first-come-first-serve. what a mess.

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.

If this was done they way they advertised, that wouldn't matter at all.
 
Was the system just there on the store page when you got there or did you have to go and find it?
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.

Theres not 113 million consumers willing to buy a console on any given day.

Eh, fuck it.
This only annoys me because I figured it wasn't going to be dumb.
I'm otherwise perfectly fine waiting until after New Years to bother getting one.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Well after waiting 3 queues and just getting in I successfully purchased a Disc PS5. So I guess its still on.

I'm in but don't seem to see the PS5's.... mind sending a link to the page where the PS5's are?

What's the URL for that page?
 
Stupid question ...you guys that are only seeing Dualsense did scroll down right? I saw the same thing till I scrolled all the way down . I asked on REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so thought I'd ask here to
 
You got to the confirm page with order number right? Then I feel they are just getting hammered like a hooker on payday and it's going to take a bit of time . I'm seeing people waiting up to 40 mins to get it
Yeah, I placed the order and it was successful. Just no email to confirm it.
 
There was lots of bad press on how the release of preorders was conducted. Do you want links?

Having issues because you don't have enough product to everybody is not "bad" I guess.

The hysteria these preorders are causing is something to behold. I don't expect XSX/XSS to even sell out.
And you will have a lot of articles saying it was how you plan pre-orders :D

It's annoying to find people who got into the store well after me posting all over the internet how they could preorder the damn thing.
 
Didn't get a 2nd through this. Pre-ordered the first through Wal-Mart the other day.
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

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.
 
Finally. Confirmation by email. I don't think I was gripping this much since the process of buying my home ten years ago. Just thinking about it makes me ashamed of myself. Its just a gaming console for goodness sake.
