Would 'Best Buy' keep the purchased pre order in their store(for the in store pickup) for little over 16 days from it's original release date? Asking for a friend who's supposedly pre-ordered it but unfortunately he's got last minute travel come up and he's not back stateside to pick up his pre order before 24th of Nov.

I think they only hold pickup orders for 5 days. They have an option to allow someone else to pickup the item.

 

[shoplifter]

I'm assuming that you can't have a PS5 Pro and PS5 activated at the same time? Was about to pull the trigger until I realized it might be a pain in the ass to deal with.

Yes, you can. I have multiple PS5s in my house.

One is your primary and you can put your account on others and access your stuff from your profile on any of them.

 

[Imtjnotu]

I now have one from Amazon, direct, and BB.

I need to stop

 

[FalsettoVibe]

In-store Gamestop order in. First in line and only 8 available. Now I can cancel my other preorders.

 

[thebigmanjosh]

Switched from Direct to Amazon. I had a $250 gift card loaded up so this brings my effective cost down to ~$150-$200 once I sell my OG disc PS5

 

[fudgybrownie]

Will target not allow in store pick up? Also amazon doesn't have the option pick up at access point location? Seems like only direct for sure day 1 delivery. Ugh

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I get that. It's just not worth standing in line for.

And sadly it’s the only way a friend of mine can afford a Pro is via trade in credit at GameStop

To make matters worse he got there at 11:30 est since they were supposed open at noon and as of 2:30 they were still not open with no sign as to why

 

[Kamina]

Now the question is when the disc drives will become available again here

 

[King Dazzar]

Yes, you can. I have multiple PS5s in my house.

One is your primary and you can put your account on others and access your stuff from your profile on any of them.

What limitations are there? I take it, you have restrictions when accessing the same game at the same time?

 

[RoboFu]

Still preorders out there. Didn't sell through in mins like it thought .. that's a good sign that they made a lot.

or nobody buying

 

[MrMephistoX]

Didn’t hear a problem pre ordering at GameStop.com. Even at 10 AM PT. Was going to do it in store but mine was closed till 12 so I got paranoid to get back to work.

The PS4 Pro never sold out, nobody with a brain is expecting the PS5 Pro to sell out

IIRC it works more or less the same as Xbox does, where you have a primary console that the 'owner' doesn't have to be logged in on for games to work, but they can also be downloaded to other consoles where the 'owner' account must be logged in to play.

I was *hoping* they'd allow separate primary console activations (like you can do across PS4 and PS5) for PS5 and Pro, but not counting on it since they're technically the same console generation.

 

[mitch1971]

Ordered.

 

[scydrex]

Got it from Amazon. I'm Better and easier than PS Direct.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Congratulations to everyone who placed your pre orders today. Anyone still keeping their PS direct pre order for the standard PS5 Pro? Or have you cancelled that one and went with Amazon/Walmart/Target/Gamestop/Best Buy option?

 

[XXL]

No you can play together.

But they would be playing on your primary PS5, but they would be using their account on that PS5, while you are on the other non primary PS5 with your account.

In that situation you would need to own the game.

Basically any account on your primary PS5 can access anything you have downloaded. You can access anything you own on any PS5 using your account.

Went with Amazon for the 5% cash back & $100 in gift card I’ve been sitting on.

 

[mayham2199]

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.

That's my issue is if I want to be without a PS5 that long.

Maybe I can go trade in my PS5. Then go buy another one at Target and just return it once I get my pro.

 

[NeonGhost]

Cancelled my Direct preorder and ordered from Amazon had $150 gift cards plus get 5% back from credit card

Cancelled my PS Direct preorder after getting one in at Amazon. Had a bit over $100 in credits from my Amazon Reward Visa and will earn 5% back on the balance so just a better deal.

 

[scalman]

never had ps4 , bought ps4 pro used .. that was cheap ...so maybe this time i will do same maybe not ..as most sony games come out on oc.. maybe wait for rtx 50 series laptops. 700 sure not not even 400 this day. but how much all cost now its ok price

 

[saintjules]

In-store Gamestop order in. First in line and only 8 available. Now I can cancel my other preorders.

Lol how many places did you have pre-orders with

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Alright seeing the responses, I'm thinking of cancelling the PS Direct and just go with Best Buy since I've got around $200 worth cashback credits

 

[DeVeAn]

Cancelled my pre-order from Playstation and pre-ordered from amazon instead. I have bad luck with Sony websites for some reason.

 

[Topher]

Got my order in with Best Buy while on the road today. Just regular Pro.

 

[yogaflame]

The PS4 Pro never sold out, nobody with a brain is expecting the PS5 Pro to sell out

Yes. It is always optional just like ps4 pro. 10% percent of all ps5 sales will already be considered as a success.

 

[Boo Who?]

Went to Gamestop at lunch at 1:30 PM Central time. I was the 1st one to pre-order at that store. Amazon pre-order cancelled.

 

[yogaflame]

It is always optional just like ps4 pro. Ps5 pro will still have good sales numbers, but Sony will be more happy that its base Ps5 is still having a good sales number.

 

[Power Pro]

Looks like I’m gonna cancel my Amazon preorder. Was able to walk into GameStop just now and in store preorder. Feel better about that, makes trading in my original one easier.

Also picked up copies of Resident evil 4, village, and demons souls

 

[Ironman_Bad]

Walked into gamestop preorder no problem leggooo!

 

[Kings Field]

Went to GameStop after work around 530 and they had three preorders left. Only required $50 down but I paid mine off so I didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Cancelled my direct one since I was having issues with UPS and FedEx drivers trying to pull shady shit. UPS driver tried swiping my OLED steam deck on launch so I'd feel better being able to walk in and pick it up.

I shipped using UPS recently for an item I sold on ebay. Dude who bought it lives an hour away from me in the Atlanta area. Somehow the package made it all the way down to Miami, Florida and then got stuck in transit due to Hurricane Helene.

So yeah......I'm picking mine up from my local Best Buy.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

PS Direct and Amazon

 

[Tiamat2san]

Ordered PS5 pro today but still no disc drive available at the moment.
I hope i’ll find one soon enough.

 

[rkofan87]

- Coil whine : not all of them obviously but many of them did have it

- 1st Gen dualsense : the springs inside the (haptic) triggers would break easily compared to the next revisions

thanks did this lead to any heating issues or was it just a annoying sound

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Just an annoying sound up close

 

[rkofan87]

I now have one from Amazon, direct, and BB.

I need to stop

2100$ oh god you are a madman.

 

[rkofan87]

thank you not going to sweat it then.

 

[Warnen]

Shocked they still up on Amazon and BB in the US. Well not shocked really…

 

[DaleinCalgary]

In Canada it was almost $150 in taxes alone.

$959 came up to around $1085.

Blame yourself for where you live. Mine was $1006

 

[Imtjnotu]

2100$ oh god you are a madman.

I don't think Amazon and direct charged yet.

Most likely will sell them to friends at cost

 

[SegaSnatcher]

Did the 30th Anniversary controllers even go live today?

 

[graywolf323]

Did the 30th Anniversary controllers even go live today?

they don’t seem to have and I don’t think Amazon has ever had them available for purchase?

 

[Gambit2483]

Looks like the scalpers have caught on that this isn't going to be a hot commodity. Stock seems to be plentiful and (understandably) demand not nearly as strong as PS5 launch.

I'll wait to see how more games like FF7 Rebirth take advantage of the hardware before jumping in.

 

[OGM_Madness]

Any news on Costco USA having a bundle?

 

[saintjules]

I now have one from Amazon, direct, and BB.

I need to stop

Lol no need to pre order in 3 different places. I get 2 because people have ways to save money outside of Direct and used it as a placeholder. 3 though? Lol you funny.
