Can I just buy via PS Direct, trade in my PS5 at GS by the 19th and just use the store credit to buy PSN Cards? Since I know I'll be buying a bunch of games next year...

Yep. Or get paid out in cash and buy PSN credit elsewhere if they give you any grief since there’s the deal through the 19th to get the same amount in cash or store credit.

 

[Power Pro]

Any chance this is gonna be on amazon tonight? i dont think im gonna get one, but if i see one pop up and it's available, i might. Id need a disc drive though

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

TARGET IS LIVE!!!

 

[DoomGyver]

Can confirm target ps5 pro is on for shipping. Do not see a pickup option.

 

[sendit]

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

Not to toot my own horn.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Yup, Target is live. They are first out of the gate on this one, went live at 1 am Eastern on 10/10

I can cancel my PS Direct order now LMAO

Still don't know if I really want the thing or not but whatever I can even wait until I get the thing and return it to Target if I change my mind

 

[Power Pro]

Does target charge at order or shipping?

Edit: nevermind, they do the stupid "authorization hold", which is the same damn thing. I'd have to wait til friday.

 

[hemo memo]

Still available on Amazon here. It will probably be widely available.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Still nothing on Bestbuy.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

30th Anniversary Slim is now live on Target

 

[saintjules]

Dang that's a good deal, especially being able to get the same in cash.

Think I'll move the games I've been holding off to play over to my expansion SSD and get my launch PS5 traded in for cash before the 19th.

I'm fine being without a PS5 until 11/7 since I'm focused on some XSX and Switch games until then anyway.

I personally wouldn't trade in. What if your Pro doesn't work properly once you have it? Youll now be stuck without a Console until you get a replacement or othereise.

 

[Poppyseed]

Amazon where? Not in the USA at least it’s not.

 

[Disfunctional]

The Pro is also available at Argos now to pre order

 

[ValiantInstance]

The anniversary pro states that there were 12k units made in the product description, the anniversary slim does not. I think there's a chance.

Looks like I was correct. Managed to nab a 30th Anni slim on Argos just now.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Set your Keepa alerts gents

Amazon Canada, Brazil, Saudi Arabia is the one i've checked.

[FUBARx89]

PS5 Pro is up for pre order on Currys website. (UK)

 

[Cakeboxer]

Got a Slim 30th anniversary. Pro wasn't, isn't and won't be a problem to get.

 

[10101]

Very Pre-Orders are up now, for those wanting credit - just grabbed one off there

 

[ValiantInstance]

The disc drive is OOS pretty much everywhere. Is this a short term supply issue because the Pro doesn't come with one by default?

Not sure where you live, but drives should become available without issue. They were sold out in the US for a while, but quickly came back in stock after a short period. I don't think they have issues with production here.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Was up at Smyth's for about 30 seconds and gone again. Expect Amazon will only take a couple of minutes so get ready!

 

[Kerotan]

Any 30th editions going on sale in Ireland?

 

[ValiantInstance]

Amazon UK is live.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I wanted to do a click and collect at Argos, but they're only doing delivery so I might as well just keep my playstation direct order.

 

[PicoLordens]

Got mine through Gamestop. No problems.

 

[DJ12]

Pre ordered mine this morning with stand and disc drive.

Also got a 4tb 990 pro nvme drive.

Don't know whether to buy a new sabrant heat sink or just use the one on my original ps5 and let the person buying it worry about that.

Bye bye Xmas bonus rofl.

Check hotstock reguarly, or use the app to get notifications when it comes in stock.

PS5 Disc Drive

Find stock and buy the PS5 Disc Drive using our stock checker, informer, tracker and locator. Real-time stock alerts for availability, prices & deals

www.hotstock.io

I've seen it come in stock a few times and stay in stock for hours/days.

Also shopto.net are taking backorders so you could order from them and they'll fullfill it when they get it in stock.

I was able to order one on gamestop.com today. Says arrives with 1-3 days, so assume it's in stock there.

So yeah...looks like I'm kinda set on getting a Pro since I got the drive coming now. lol

Pro with free 2 year warranty at John Lewis

[Unknown Soldier]

LOL I have a 30th Anni Slim preordered now, I wonder if I should just keep and play that and ignore the Pro

I'll have to sell my OG Phat PS5 but that shouldn't be too hard

 

[King Dazzar]

So after all the pre order faffing. I've ended up cancelling the PS direct order and placed an order with Amazon. Its simply a matter of trust if something should go wrong. Or if it turns out to be a hairdryer on steroids.

You're way more likely to get a hairdryer from Amazon lol...

As tempting as that is. When it comes to TV's, John Lewis have been known to be awkward with regards returns sometimes.

 

[King Dazzar]

Ha in which case it will be no worries returning it. Its all personal mileage & experience. But after taking a month to get a refund from PS recently. I have more trust with Amazon when things go wrong. Here in the UK they've on the whole been very good with regards returns/refunds and warranty.

lmao i have dealt with the ps4 pro fan so i am used to it but i understand your worry about it.

 

[Euler007]

I'm kind of in a weird spot right now. Got a PS5 Pro on order with the 30th DS, I had moved on from my disappointment and told myself I'd get the chroma green plates. But then people are doubting it will fit the Pro (or if a Pro version will be out).

Now it's thursday morning and it feels like groundhog day, am I setting myself up for another disappointment, only to go back to the chroma plate confusion.

 

[King Dazzar]

Yeah I'm confident it will be great and silent too. But its always good to be cautious. First batches too...

My understanding is that plates for the slim don't fit the Pro.

 

[TheDreadLord]

Still freely available at my country.

It seems that they won’t fit.

If only Sony would communicate with their consumers

Novel approach I know

 

[j0hnnix]

It looks like Gamestop online goes live 9AM CST. As other have mentioned 6 per store.. 18k over all in stock.. ill try online first if not im off to the store near me at noon.

 

[saintjules]

I guess every store started differently. Best Buy goes up in less than 2 hours.

Jake is live btw

 

[jm89]

I will be surprised at that. I think Sony not really mentioning anything about it fitting the pro might just be them admitting implicitly it does.

It beggars belief why they haven't come out and say it though.

If it doesn't fit, whoever is running playstation really needs to be dragged out.

This man is wild, he's gonna try to get an order in on every store

I'm glad I got my 30th Anni Slim when Target randomly unexpectedly dropped it a few hours ago, I'm good to go on that. Being forced to pay for Walmart+ is ridiculous, and Amazon is going to be mobbed by bots instantly

 

[kikonawa]

Belgium / Netherlands. Bol.com has them available

Its all a mix of bits of info here and there my side. And I hope you're right - it would make things really easy. But my understanding was that some of the covers are the same (the disc drive area for example). But other plate areas aren't. Hopefully we get more info prior to launch, when I assume reviewers may get their hands on Pro early.

 

[Kururu]

We've updated the pre-order links so you'll be ready to give Sony more money.
