PS5 Pro pre-orders go live |OT| [10/10 Pre-Order Links Updated In OP]

My crazy theory. I think we will see 30th anniversary covers by early next year. The 30th anniversary was to throw off scalpers to chase a golden goose. If there wasn’t, more of the pros if not most would have been eaten up by creating false demand.

Why would not Sony sell the covers later? It’s free money. The only difference would be the serial number anyhow, which collectors will be able to get that version when pros are of diminished value for cheap.

I don't think we will, especially since the middle of the PS5 is black. You can't really re-create the same system, which is probably why they didn't announce covers to begin with, even though they did controllers.

Limiting the controllers also doesn't make sense...

It strikes me as incompetent.

Hah, I missed that the middle was grey. Nm then.

I could see them releasing original gray covers without the numbers or icon details.

That would be a nice way to make up for how poorly they launched the 30th anniversary version.

Still hope left for 30th Anniversary Edition


it says the same for the DualSense! 🙏🏻

edit: now it’s saying “Please check back on October 29th from 9AM PDT

also no such message on the Pro bundle nor the anniversary Portal or Dual Sense Edge pages, so it looks like just the Slim & regular controller will be having restocks

I wonder if any outlets will get there hand on earlier, like this week. Would be nice to see some more games being tested without relying on sony footage.

I think it's just gonna be to the point that you'll see when you have your hands on it. The footage is already under videos that are compressed on YouTube and the like.

I'm assuming I won't be charged for the 30th edition Pro for another 2 weeks? What happens if there's an issue. Will they give you a second chance?

I think there's a chance to revise payment method within a 24 hour period if I'm not mistaken. Just get prepared for thr withdrawal over the next 2 weeks..

Hope mine goes to through ok, I set it up on my PayPal Credit account so I pay it off over 3 months.
And yes I have enough credit to buy multiple Pros

Got my pre-order in for the Pro yesterday, same day pickup confirmed for 11/7 at a local store. Xbox has pissed me off this year beyond the point of repair, so now I'll be making Playstation the primary place to play. Never had a PS4 either, so I'll have plenty of exclusive games to pick from to enjoy. :messenger_grinning_smiling:
Damn never had a PS4. You're about to be eating good in a time where for the last two years we've had tons of amazing games coming out. Your backlog is going to be insane.

I got the 11th date estimate from Amazon as well. But I'd be surprised if it didn't come release day. That said, I don't care that much as I'm never as hyped for mid gen updates as new console, especially when there's not a game I'm hyped for launching aside it. So no big deal if it's the 11th, minor bummer that I'm out of town the 12th through 14th (and maybe also the 15th-17th), so I'd like to get it before the prior weekend. But not the end of the world as November is always a lighter gaming month for me with a work conference always the first half of the month and Thanksgiving travels at the end.

I am getting excited for these two, I have not played either at all, so I am glad I have waited. Purchased at launch to support but am glad my patience has paid off for a much smoother experience.

If they have their finger on the pulse it should be done in the first five minutes or by end if the first day at most
They could and most probably are under a NDA, I think we will find out more when America wakes up as there could be the potential for some unboxing videos later on today if their not under one.

Wild how it's a week out and disc drives are sold out in the UK with very few restocks at shit places like Very. Wonder if people will skip a pro til disc drive stock stabilises.
