PC got kicked out of Queue. FUCK ME.

PC is scared you'll find out the console is on par with the above average PC gaming rig. Don't let it stop you.

 

[saintjules]

Pro in my cart, us direct site. lol don't know it I want it.

You can always have the pre-order and then cancel if you're unsure. The pre-auth is a temp hold that drops within the day or so depending on your bank.

Available in the uk. I hope this sends the message and Sony come out at some point with "we listened, now it comes with the drive. Day one buyerss get the choice of x game"

Anyone manage to snag the shapes of play: create?

I have them pre-ordered.

Maybe they will do another run of the Scalper Edition.

You got double crow to eat, man.

You're in this thread shooting down any possibility that Sony have done a dirty here. Defending them like fuck and you are completely wrong. Like so wrong.

There has been a deal, sony are dirty as fuck and we have clear evidence of silent back door deals going down from them.

Fuck them. I'm not buying a pro now. They should have been honest and owned this shit.

Fuck all the stans defending them too. Like you.

But first, you should listen to yourself and buy a Pro.

 

[Kings Field]

Just got back from the range and also spending more money on a P90 and thought fuck it I’m not gonna wait till Amazon orders open up and was surprised they are still available so I ordered one.

I guess we won’t see these out of stock until maybe the holidays through direct? I doubt there’s manufacturing issues in 2024?

Happy days

 

[Brucey]

I thought he had already secured one...oh well.

 

[sainraja]

Hmm, yeah. I guess I will check my last order on PS Direct and the shipping address on it, I guess it's possible that I updated the address here before my PSN/PS Store account; don't remember making any purchases with Direct at new address though....I think direct at least uses our PSN account for authentication.

EDIT
Oops, can't check right now because the waiting process process kicked in again... it wasn't letting me add it to cart anyway so I guess not a big loss here.

Ok, so I was forgetting. I did order a controller after moving... so that is how they had my new address. I totally forgot. I thought I got the controller from Best Buy but never mind lol.

I think at a regular $700 without drive there shouldn't be any stock issues just ordering when you want one post launch, or walking into a store.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

The demand is probably still low. You will always have scalpers and idiots rushing to buy these things on day 1. Look at all the people willing to waste their money in here. Oooh a single video trailer for one game with no gameplay.... and the people saying "sony is saved, ps5 pro bought.."... . ridiculous. The fact that corporate can buy some people off is crazy, all the sudden that $700+ doesn't seem bad to them.

Thing is those fools will soon be parted with their money, and that's about it. It will have a small bit of bump in the beginning and then fizzle out. The sales to this are going to pale drastically in comparison to base ps5. Demand isn't there, this is just normal scalper buyup that we see on all products today, unfortunately.

Whatever helps you sleep.

 

[dano1]

I mentioned it before here... I bought a PS4 Pro no problem on BF. The PS4 Pro was a much much bigger upgrade than this, plus it was only $100 more than the PS4 Slim. And you saw all the complaining about the price and the memes. Legit demand for the console won't be much.

Bigger upgrade? You are vastly mistaken.

 

[FrankWza]

The Pro is going to be available at retailers. Most people prefer to buy there if they have store cards or for ease of returns and customer service if necessary.

You realize this machine was never meant to sell more than about 10% of the base PS5 plus a ton of us will be trading in or selling current PS5s already

I don't see people in here wasting money I see people spending money on a hobby they love

And why does it matter to you if people are wasting their money?

And sorry but $700 to a lot of people is in fact nothing to them to spend on their hobby

 

[Bernardougf]

FTP? What's that?

Did you get yours bro ?

 

[Topher]

Did you get yours bro ?

I did. Got a LE PS Portal and LE controller as well. Those are going on ebay to hopefully help offset the costs a bit.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Did you get yours bro ?

He was hanging out too much in these Pro threads, there was never any doubt

 

[Codeblew]

Anyone manage to snag the shapes of play: create?

I still haven't figured out what it is. Looks like a tech demo.

Yeah 1.250 dollars overhere.. so Ill wait a bit

 

[dano1]

100% chance scalpers are going to fuck this up for everyone.

Nope. You need a PlayStation account to order one. Besides there site semi crashing once it smoothed out it went pretty good.

It’s in Canadien $.

 

[sainraja]

I said a couple of weeks ago there wouldn't be a huge stock issue with the Pro, we aren't in a major chip shortage

This is no indication of how much interest there is

Yeah, there shouldn't be issues with stock at all. And people that are pushing for those narratives will always have something to say. If it doesn't sell out: "there is no demand" and if it does sell out: "they didn't make enough."

 

[Topher]

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Got mine secured, fam. Little bummed of not able to get that anniversary Pro bundle but hey at least got the regular PS5 Pro.

They didn’t go live for GameStop or other regions did they? Or is it just Canada and places without PS Connect?

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Bigger upgrade? You are vastly mistaken.

You got a 40% CPU increase and over 2x GPU increase with the PS4 Pro.

I might have bitten if that's what the PS5 Pro was, even at $699.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

He knows what he is doing with the original Tweet

You forgot the dedicated hardware PSSR. That is a huge gamechanger, just like how HDR was more impactful than 4K on the PS4 Pro.

Welcome to the real world. How long have you been living in a cave?

 

[TGO]

Been at work so not sure if posted previously but the Pro is back in stock in the UK site

 

[sainraja]

I was hoping to grab that too. Ah well.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Pro isn’t sold out Canada means its doom for Sony .

They deserve it too to be honest with that shit price

Ehm. Anyway I have one preordered from Costco with the drive bundle but not sure if I’ll keep it or cancel preorder . Just wanted to follow the hype .

I did secure the 30th anniversary slim and second anniversary controller . Not the pro though . That was mission impossible

 

[Slayer-33]

Deserves waaaaay more likes. Ain't it the truth

 

[sendit]

Ooof. Embarrassing. The Slim is like the Series S now.

I dont see Ass of Can Whooping anywhere.

Did you buy?

 

[Shake Your Rump]

You forgot the dedicated hardware PSSR. That is a huge gamechanger, just like how HDR was more impactful than 4K on the PS4 Pro.

In a DF interview with Guerilla Games, they said they "back ported" their up-scaling implementation from a future game to Forbidden West. If they aren't bothering to use PSSR, who will?

 

[AngelMuffin]

Yep. PSSR is the real star of the show here & is most likely the main culprit in the $699 price tag.

 

[Iced Arcade]

yes it's a Canadian.... why wouldn't it be? lol

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

In a DF interview with Guerilla Games, they said they "back ported" their up-scaling implementation from a future game to Forbidden West. If they aren't bothering to use PSSR, who will?

We don’t know anything about their implementation, they may be using the ML hardware with a customized AI solution for their engine.

So technically they could, and likely are imho, using the hardware of PS5 Pro for that same purpose

 

[AngelMuffin]

yes it's a Canadian.... why wouldn't it be? lol

You said the “price was wild to see”. Guess I’m now wondering why you said that since it equates to the same price in the U.S. You think that’s wild, check out the price in Yen.

Call me an idiot

 

[SHA]

This is going to sell out. You'll have scalpers selling this at $1000+ on ebay this holiday.

They don't think about the games, it's a trap from Sony.

 

[Markio128]

I will need to get a disk drive at some point because I do have quite a few physical games (Horizon FW and R&C being 2 of them), but I’m happy to wait a few months until the stock has built up again. I reckon I own at least 6 or 7 of the digital games that have been patched, so plenty to keep me occupied.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

God damn. I'm sad. Yea I guess most of us will have to go to ebay. That's how I got the launch PS5 Spiderman bundle, I paid $750 on there I think.

Yeah I'm thinking $2000 for that bundle

The drives are in stock on PS Direct.
