Support NeoGAF

[reinking]

Scalpers don't play games. They're like console warriors. They just want the trophy to look at.

...and what do scalpers do with the consoles?

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Its showing the Pro bundle is $1000 in the US. Controller is $80. For anyone on the site can you tell us what you click on to see the pro bundle? Is it under "all consoles"? or in "new releases"? Or just on the main page??

 

[j0hnnix]

Line is paused for the Bloodborne Remake announcement.

[Zacfoldor]

Sony did this. I bet Switch 2 launch next year gets it right. All they had to do was scan their trophy database(with AI) for regular players and send them an invite to preorder the pro yesterday. Why would that not be the proper thing to do? Scalpers got rights too?

 

[Soulja]

Have uk pre orders gone live?

 

[danklord]

Paused, two pcs and mobile. They better let me in!

 

[Cakeboxer]

"Nobody wants the Pro."

You actually should hope it doesn't. Guess what happens to the PS6 price if that thing sells great.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

"You have been placed in a temporary waiting room"

Not sure if that is a good or bad sign.

 

[Impotaku]

Have uk pre orders gone live?

They went live hours ago you are way too late.

 

[Soulja]

They went live hours ago you are way too late.

Ah. Is that the same for both the pro and 30th anniversary consoles?

 

[Kvally]

"You have been placed in a temporary waiting room"

Were you naughty?

 

[PatientGamer]

Have uk pre orders gone live?

Poor you. Most of us where here as soon as they went up and couldn't get any apart from some lucky folk

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I just want the regular Pro, but if that classic edition is available when I'm in it's going to be hard to ignore it. Also yes I could get it and sell it for profit but I'm kinda over that stuff.

 

[PhillyPhreak11]

Now the queue line is paused. I doubt I'll get through now. Congrats to those that did. I'll try my luck on 10/10 when other retailers start taking pre-orders.

 

[midasmulligan]

Now would be a good time for people to make some “I survived the Queue” merch.

or, more likely, "i waited for 3 days in the queue, and all i got was this crappy t-shirt".

 

[Calverz]

No stay there. That is normal

over 30mins yet to the "official" USA start time for them to be available to preorder. You have to be in to win

This is normal, the real queue doesn't start for 30 minutes yet

 

[ManaByte]

Thirty minutes!

 

[dorkimoe]

Who are?

assumed it was Sony, it was a link dump of retailers. Sony, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart. There was a disc drive bundle

 

[gothmog]

Everyone freak out!

I have 202 platinum trophies. I should get dibs on one of the 12,300

It's not official. Some retailer is trying to pad attach numbers by making you buy it with the console.

 

[Interfectum]

Thirty minutes!

 

[Zacfoldor]

It ain't over. If you give up now you are a defeatist that gave up before the battle begins. Keep on that queue, they will let us in. This is just how the shit was last time. Hopeless right up until you get confirmation.

 

[Topher]

I'm seriously going to hate any of you fuckers if you are able to get in and buy the limited edition.

But if I get one then I hope you understand

What about the Portal?

 

[reinking]

You actually should hope it doesn't. Guess what happens to the PS6 price if that thing sells great.

I don't care if it flops or sells great. I just want one. I do not believe the PS5 Pro price isn't really going to change the price of the PS6 all that much. I expect it to be $700 minimum anyway. Prices are going up and people expecting a $500 PS6 are going to be severely disappointed.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I have one Platinum...

for Dead or Alive Xtreme 3.

 

[Rentahamster]

The almighty

 

[danklord]

 

[R6Rider]

Is the queue now the only option? Whenever I simply try to go the page to view all consoles it loads the queue page only.

 

[Topher]

Doesn't matter. This isn't targeting the regular gaming populace.

 

[Pejo]

I have one Platinum...

for Dead or Alive Xtreme 3.

A game not even released in the states.

Hope you tried the VR mode, it's

 

[sono]

it is the ONLY option

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Nah, all gone. Lock stock the lot. Which was fine for me, I was only after the normal Pro.

Ugh. Well here we go.

What about the Portal?

I believe somebody said $219 for the Edge and the Portal. So $20 premium. I've had the Edge twice and didn't actually like it more then the regular one probably 75% of the time so idk if I want to bother at just under 2.5x regular price.

 

[Kings Field]

Friend messaged me and asked when the preorders go live because he wants to get a AE bundle and then flip it. I told him 11am eastern…

I did before I returned that piece of garbage device.

Kick him in the balls for being a scalper.

 

[Banjo64]

Yeah, I don't think Banjo64 Is going to need those Jaw exercises

I’m not worried. I eat cum for breakfast.

My suspicion is that the UK inventory would have been far less than 100k, so there’s a long time to go until the NeoGAF bukkake party.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I've never wanted to scream into the void louder or longer than right now.

 

[sono]

keep telling yourself that

[EviLore]

$699? Too expensive. $999 with a special limited color and overpriced controller I don't want? sign me up!

 

[saintjules]

IIRC if you use Klarna for a preorder they just charge you up front instead

Ah. If that's the case, then it still gets paid off in parts as per their service.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Doesn't matter. This isn't targeting the regular gaming populace.

You are right, but still if this thing sells 20m+, i bet everything i have PS6 wont be any less then 650 Euro. The Pro is not just a loveletter for enthusiasts, it's also a price test.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Sony fucking purgatory, we are in it and it is a yellow line.

Everybody walks their own yellow mile.

I'm tired boss, real tired.
