What happens if they find no buyer going into the holiday season and Sony runs a sale? Now they have to drop the price of the used console to make their price more competitive.
Does GameStop in the US bother with that? The PS5 slim is on-sale across Australian retailers now, so it's AUD $698 at EB Games (normally A$800). But a preowned fat PS5 disc is still $718.

Kinda odd since they are running decent trade deals towards the Pro and I imagine have collected a fairly large preowned stock. But they don't seem to care that new PS5s are cheaper at the moment.

Have been seeing too many videos of people jacking Amazon deliveries and those thugs will know those Pros are getting delivered even though one of mine is coming via PS Direct but I have a large lock box for them to put it in

Ah so you kept your Direct order. I thought about it, but going to Best Buy day of seems more ideal.

I took the day initially because of Direct may ask for signature at the door.

Doing my nightmare run in Alan Wake remastered right now for the platinum, about half way through.

I am so hyped for AW2 on Pro, I know some people were hard on the game for a number of different reasons but from what I’ve seen which is not a lot I am very excited for that and rebirth in particular.

Need to get myself an OLED at some point also to take full advantage.

It's actually perfectly smart. Greg is a huge Playstation fan.
I know. He’s also who ‘suggested’ your avatar to abandon his position for making a joke. And the worst kind of fanboy: a yes man where everything PS is ok, that led us to today’s Sony. And for that got digitalised in one of those boring Spiderman games. Great guy.

He's actually tough on Sony in some areas and has become PRO-Xbox. Personally I think he's done that recent for business purposes. And I think his feelings on Colin has changed. Both him and Colin talk about each other more now than ever. I'm still hoping one day they do ONE show.
 
Absolutely no sign of any disc drives in the UK unless you want to pay a scalping cunt £200. No point me ordering a pro until I have one since I only have a few digital games and the rest on disc.

I randomly looked at Argos app 3 weeks ago and my local had 1 in stock... I bought it fully expecting to be told it's not there and refunded.
Luckily it actually was there and fully sealed 😎

Was not sure if I wanted the drive day 1 for the pro but glad I got it knowing they are hard to find and I've got a few disc games

You need to get an OLED before Nov 7th. I'm right with you on AW2. That's going to by my first game.

I personally hope Colin just stays away from him. When Colin described that whole story that relationship just doesn't sound healthy at all. Best to leave them a lone.

What I am looking forward to hearing most is whether it is as noisy as the slim PS5. The current Slim gets so noisy the second you start a game.
Disc or digital?

My day one PS5 is a noisy bastard with a disc spinning and is one of the main reasons I moved to buying all my games digital. Every hour was like a jet taking off for 10 seconds. Nothing major but just annoying.

I’m hoping the Pro will be quiet with no disc.

My launch PS5 isn't bad with discs--launch XSX is noisy as hell though. That's the main reason I ordered the disc drive for the pro as the XSX is too noisy for watching movie discs. I rarely buy disc games, and when I do it's just to be able to sell after beating.

My PS5 does have pretty loud coil whine. It generally doesn't bother as I usually game with a headset and can't hear it, but it's annoying the times I do game with my speakers instead. So would be nice to have that gone.

Hope Sony release a new batch of drives soon so the scalpers lose out big-time

Walmart US? Could be typo.

If US, they most likely still use FedEx. I'd go by their tracker versus Walmart's. I remember the timing was different.

Digital. I've used several. They're all the same. If you sit near your PS5 Slim it's one noisy bastard.
