That is 100% certain.

Unless the retail is only online like Amazon... all others retailers (Walmart, Bestbuy, Target, etc) hold stock to have in store sales at the launch.

Because you want the consumer on your store at the launch day.

No, worked retail when I was young and we would only keep a few units for people who pre-ordered the console and had defective ones

Then force people to buy 3 games with the new console... That was so shitty...

I got the charging station only since I got my pre-order in else wear but couldn't score the charging station lol

From their customer service:
Monnette B: Your order was submitted successfully! You should be receiving your email confirmation in a few hours
Boosh.

 

[Grinchy]

Glad to see others weren't getting emails. The order is definitely there, it just worried me that others were posting receipt emails right after ordering and 10 hours later, I don't have one.

I wonder if maybe it has to do with how you purchased it? Or it could be they were still processing purchases? Dunno in any case nothing we can really do about it.

 

[Grinchy]

I ended up getting the email finally. It was like 11 hours after the purchase.

 

[Toxictemplar]

Just got home and retried the email and go in and was able to order a standard ps5 console. Sooo excited that I didn't get screwed over

 

[Tripolygon]

Apparently it is letting me order a second PS5. I put it in my cart but have not clicked checkout yet,

Please share the love

 

[Tripolygon]

Please share the love

There is no way to share a link as it is tied to PSN account. That's my Cart to the right. Unless you mean for me to order on your behalf but the question is are they going to cancel the order if I place it since i already ordered one.

 

[cerealbuster]

Is this a us only thing? Or could people in germany also get that?

Nope, only us USians can get an invite, apparently.

I would love if you did, but I understand your situation. Thank you so much anyway.

I'm upset i wasn't able to secure a preorder yet and chances are looking dimmer of getting it by launch now

How hard did you try? I struggled with Best Buy's website for three hours and nine minutes in order to secure a pre-order. I went the distance! Did you?!

 

[Hondo4]

Yeah i was on the best buy website that night and got as far as trying to check out and it never let me

 

[Salmon Snake]

Wow, you were wise to pre-order so early. Did you have to make a payment when you made the pre-order?

No

 

[Salmon Snake]

Wow you get a late confirmation?
I got mine 2 days ago?

Because I live in Finland and the store which I have my pre-order is just a local game shop in Helsinki?

 

[BluRayHiDef]

No

Good job, matey.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Good job, matey.

Let's just hope that there won't a lot of defective models at launch.
I sold my PS3 slim to the same game store when I bought the PS4 at launch from them. In retrospect that was a mistake and this time I won't sell my older console. Eventhough PS5 has PS4 99% backwards compatibility.

Also it's a shame there isn't any different colored Dualsense to choose.

I guess I'll keep my PS4 Pro, in light of your experience.

 

[GymWolf]

Well gamestop called me and said that i have to go over there to put even more money on the preorder because my previous 150 euros are not enough (someone who preorder with 250 euros can surpass me...their words...), Well at least they assured me a ps5 for day one and valued my pro around 200 euros, so fuck yeah i guess.

And now start the research for the games at the lowest possible price...

 

[snir6590]

I ordered one for my friend and the link is still available for me for some reason. I thought it's one per person.
