Got to let all the influencers and celebs in first

Damn right, they did the same thing with the Oasis tickets.

 

[cormack12]

Not necessarily, thanks to the 'random place given when countdown reaches zero' thing. Though it kind of sucks that it's not a legit queue rather than a lottery-style grouping. Good luck.

Basically a short term ballot. Also gives them the opportunity to move people in the queue I imagine. Like they get a call from Steph Curry saying he is number 89,000 they can just bump him to next in line.

 

[Judge Magister]

I'm in the queue just to laugh at the price.

Edit: 1099€ is nothing really, was expecting Sony to be more agressive.

 

[tommib]

I'm already in some type of weird queue in the Netherlands. :/

 

[panda-zebra]

I'm in the 8:05 waiting room on desktop and phone. Don't remember the waiting rooms from the PSVR2 direct sale, but kinda remember getting in well before the time I was invited to place an order.

Hoping to just secure *something* 30th anniversary, a pad, anything, even a Portal. It's the bundle I want though, obvs. Zero stress about securing a regular Pro, that's 100% going to happen for anyone that wants it today (and I do!)

 

[emivita]

Only 12 minutes until 10 am in my country.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I'm in the queue just for fun, but have no idea what countdown they're talking about.

 

[nnytk]

Quite confusing to me, I just want to pre-order a regular PS5 Pro but I'm in a queue for what seems to be the PS5 Pro anniversary edition... Weird.

 

[RayHell]

PS5 PRO bundle link if you're in Canada.

[tommib]

So this is happening in 10 minutes? There's nothing about times on the website.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I have a feeling this is gonna be a shitshow with lots of frustrated people.

They should have given exclusive access to anyone that bought PSVR2

Playstation UK says 10 am BST. That's 11 am CEST in Europe.

 

[cormack12]

Fuck you Jim

 

[Gerdav]

Yeah i'm in a queue for the anniversary edition. I want the regular Pro but idk if i should just get the anniversary now

Does anyone even know the cost of he bloody Pro 30th bundle? I been in this queue since a minute or two after 8, I'm wondering if I could actually fluke one or would I need to sell a few vital organs before 10am

 

[Bojanglez]

Part of their marketing campaign, increase FOMO.

Strange they didn't sell standard Pro separate from all the 30th editions. Maybe hoping that some people will miss out on the 30th and think I'll just get a standard Pro instead

Is the queue just paused until 10am (for the UK) when it will unpause and allow people to place an order in a way that doesn't overload the server?

Or is the pre-order actually live and the site has paused because there are too many people trying to place a pre-order?

The wording on the site is not exactly clear on whether the pre-order for the PS5 Pro is actually live or not. I assume you would be queued even if you wanted to order a DualSense controller or a standard PS5.

 

[sono]

It is frustrating as I was literally logged into the site browsing ps5 choices and then at 830 uk it told me I been placed into a waiting room with the queue is paused so there is no queue even

 

[emivita]

Been refreshing the page since 7 am, but now I'm in the waiting room with the queue paused.

Thanks Sony. Also fuck you Sony.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Also in a paused queue. Damn it, does it work or not Sony?

 

[Cakeboxer]

Lol 10:00 and nothing happened.

 

[Fafalada]

Queue is still paused here -_-

 

[sono]

UK gets the rough end as usual, Poland they are buying hundreds from their local grocery store

 

[DenchDeckard]

Lol, Everyone knew it was going to be a shitshow. Sony praying that those that dont get a 30th anniversary buy a standard.

Not gonna work on me douchebags!

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Ok my paused queue is counting down. 45 minutes -_-

 

[TheTony316]

For me it says queue time 5 minutes.

 

[DavidGzz]

Concord in 8k, sign me up!

 

[Kenneth Haight]

1 hour for UK folks. Pray for us

 

[Weezard]

Lol, Im in but I cannot select the Pro..

 

[Cakeboxer]

5 minutes, but that means nothing. I know that shitty system from a PS5 order.

 

[Midn1ght]

What if the PS5 Pro was a case of mass hysteria and we're all looking at a blank page.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

My Countdown is counting UP, Sony!!!!!

 

[Mr.ODST]

Annoying queue started at 8:05, only just realised, I have no chance to get one xD

 

[Life Diff]

UK here, hoping for the golden ticket so I can get a grey one

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Holy shit a queue already. I'm not getting shit am I.

 

[balls of snow]

Lucky I live in the ass end of Asia where the peoples buying power is limited. Placing my preorder when Im back home.

 

[DavidGzz]

Won't let me log into PS. "Can't connect to the server.(18.9dbd7768.1727338034.b965cd)"

 

[TheTony316]

4 minutes.

 

[Midn1ght]

PS Direct site crashed for me here in Belgium after I was put in a queue

 

[hollowcupra]

Annoying queue started at 8:05, only just realised, I have no chance to get one xD

It's just a waiting room. The queue part starts after the waiting room.

 

[panda-zebra]

Come on Europe, I want to hear some good luck stories.

Anyone on UK still stuck on 08:05 last update?

 

[Shane89]

[Cakeboxer]

You can get the controller now on Amazon if that's good news for you.

 

[executor]

Grrrr I'm in after the queue but there's absolutely nothing different ?? No Pro or limited.... (BTW I'm in Italy....).....

 

[Kerotan]

UK gets the rough end as usual, Poland they are buying hundreds from their local grocery store

Apparently that frog shop zabka or whatever it's called has already sold 5,000 30th edition pros.

 

[hollowcupra]

Anyone on UK still stuck on 08:05 last update?

Yes, still waiting.

 

[akira__]

Well well well, if this thread isn't filled with usual suspects going hard against ps5 pro.
