Target is now saying "Coming Soon" again so it is likely they will also be going live again at 10 am Eastern even though they did a stealth drop a few hours ago

 

[ValiantInstance]

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

I have two pre-ordered. Offered one to friends at cost, if they don't take it up I'll take a look on eBay closer to the time. If they're going for like a grand and selling one pays for the other then I'd be nuts not to. If it doesn't meet that criteria I'll cancel one.

Pro with free 2 year warranty at John Lewis

https://www.johnlewis.com/playstation-5-pro-console-with-dualsense-controller/p112736639

cancelled my ps direct and ordered here. 2 year warranty is gold

 

[DryvBy]

I'm just going to get a Slim since I couldn't get the pro and hope the plates Switch. Maybe I can dump my original.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Drove past my local Gamestop which is the only one in town and next closest is about a 45 minute drive and about 10 people in line for a store that doesn't open for close to 3 hours yet. Guess they didn't post on the door they are only getting 6 preorders

What is strange is that this was readily available on ps direct for weeks... why are people standing in line at all?

6 pre orders is a bunch of bs ...after what we had to deal with in 2020 you'd think sony would stock these things

 

[Interfectum]

are we expecting anniversary controllers to be sold today at this stores?

Many have store credit from trading in stuff, I'm bettin'

When I talked to them at the store they had a lot of people trade in consoles for store credit

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I don't know what the fuck to do boys...

- GameStop, here in Italy had a deal where if you brought your PS5 and two games they'd give you 350€ - The deal is not valid anymore.

- The trade-in value for the PS5 fat with the drive is only 270€.

Preorders are up on GameStop.it as are on Amazon Italy - Amazon delivery date is on the 12th of November though.

So, now, I got to make sure to :
- secure a pre-order
- Get rid of my PS5 since I have absolutely no use for it if 8 manage to get a Pro.

I could always put my PS5 on Facebook marketplace but it's a friggin' ball-ache with people's absurd haggling , I'd rather just go to GameStop and be done with it to be honest, still, 270€, yeah...

Edit : in case any Italian GAFers are interested :

 

[DoomGyver]

Yup, Im first in line. Don’t mind waiting a couple hours.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Might order from bestbuy to just pick it up instead of waiting all day for ups

 

[LordBritish]

I camped at a walmart 30 hrs for a playstation 4, we were pretty dumb back then

 

[Imtjnotu]

Don't think I'll cancel my direct tho

 

[Power Pro]

Got it

 

[terintamel]

Just pre-ordered on Amazon.com US.

 

[paolo11]

Amazon US is now live . Just preordered

 

[GrayDock]

Also pre-ordered at Amazon.

 

[thatJohann]

does amazon charge you only after it ships?

 

[graywolf323]

Got it

man I wish my sales tax was that low, my total came to $742

edit: now I’m just hoping that Amazon gets the 30th Anniversary Dual Sense up for pre-order

 

[WoodyStare]

It is mine.

 

[rkofan87]

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.

not to get to far off t but do we know of any of the first ps5s off the line hand any issues?

 

[Power Pro]

So Gamestop will give $330 cash straight up until a certain time for a original disc PS5? I'll probably do that after taking out my SSD and just be without a PS5 for a few weeks. Saves almost half the cost.

 

[PhillyPhreak11]

Live on Best Buy.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Man looking at the dollar price of the console I can't help feeling like we're getting royally shafted here in South Africa

The pro console is going to retail here for $1110 approx. with Pre orders opening in just over a week and a half

Not that I’m aware of other than minor coil whine

My OG PS5 still works fine although my controller battery is shit and seems to last like two hours

 

[Ulysses 31]

Belgium / Netherlands. Bol.com has them available

So do Media Markt and Fnac.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I got the PS5 digital 30th anniversary one, gonna see what they go for on ebay . . .

my battery is shit as well hoping the ones that come with the pro have kick ass battery.

 

[Jedi0608]

At my local GameStop and it’s dead so far. Hanging out in my car lol.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Preorder locked in at Bestbuy. Bought the drive around 2 months ago so i am good to go.

[gooner4life_uk]

Cancelled my pre-order with PlayStation and pre-ordered at Currys as I get 5% discount through work so £665 for the PS5 Pro in the UK, i was happy with that.

 

[graywolf323]

has any retailer had the 30th Anniversary Dual Sense available for pre-order yet today?

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Canceled at PlayStation and ordered from Best Buy since I can pick it up in store and not have to stalk the UPS guy.

 

[Lone Wolf]

They charge you within a week before shipping date.

PS5 Console + 2 valid games = 330 €

Sounds good to me

 

[PhillyPhreak11]

Screw it. I pre-ordered the 30th anniversary PS5 slim on Best Buy. I'll keep that and sell my OG launch PS5.

 

[saintjules]

Desktop with Best Buy got me in much quicker than via mobile. Mobile still in queue.

 

[Pantz]

Got one ordered from Amazon.
Used my Xbox Rewards Points to get $100 in Amazon credit. Already had round $40 in cash back credit. Picked payment plan for around $45 per month. I can manage this!
Got the official vertical Stand from Target with my credit that was about to expire for around $6.
Disc drive will have to wait.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Desktop with Best Buy got me in much quicker than via mobile. Mobile still in queue.

Ah.... So that's why I've been staring at a rotating please wait symbol for the last ten fucking minutes

 

[XXL]

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

Amazon CA just came back up for Preorder yesterday or the day before.

I got one from there when it was first available.

 

[polka22]

Got mine from Best Buy with my Total Tech Two Warranty

Interesting Online was slower for Mobile for me.

 

[dmaul1114]

Got an order in at Amazon for the regular pro. Had a preorder in at Sony Direct (and already got the stand and disc drive from them), but had a bit over $100 in Amazon Visa card rewards to put toward it and will earn 5% back on the balance paying with that card so much better deal here.

 

[DryvBy]

Amazon's link is not up but you can sit on it.

 

[Imtjnotu]

I have the bestbuy total... Thing is mobile isn't letting me in

 

[saintjules]

Yeah definitely use both desktop and phone as backup.

 

[LectureMaster]

Gonna cancel my order with PS Direct. Amazon is always easier to work with in terms of any customer service.

The tax you guys paid make me envious.
