They’ll probably get them day of release, considering that’s when I should get mine from the supplier.

If they've already taken your money then you'll just hear when they ship? I checked John Lewis where my order is and they are still offering pre-orders for delivery 7th, so I'm optimistic. We'll see.
I hope so.

Argos seem to be not doing the delivery themselves rather relying on a supplier, so that kinda muddies things as you have no accurate tracking.

Sony created a weird situation cause i haven't pre-ordered this since i can't buy a disco unit. Like...what's the point? At least make more of those. I got plenty of games for PS5 with physical copies and now i can't play them if i buy a pro?
Tinfoil hat time.

I'm starting to agree with people who were saying that sony are purposely not supplying enough disc drives to drive up digital adoption.

Sony had a month head start to sort this out since the pro announcement and the disc drive isn't something that is exactly hard to produce and there isn't component storage.

Same here. Disc units aren't available.
I usually go with worten or fnac for these pre orders but the only disc unit i saw was going for 600€ from a third party seller. 😱

HDMI chip didn't change, apparently, so I wouldn't bet on 48Gbps. I'll double check that teardown video.
edit: they say it's the same Nuvoton IC found on the Slim and "some" O.G. PS5. Nuvoton acquired the semiconductors part from Panasonic in 2020, and some ICs on the OGs are Panasonic branded, but the part number is the same on both Nuvoton and Panasonic.

Still no movement on my Amazon preorder from the arrives on November 11th estimate. I'll give it until tomorrow night to update to arriving on the 7th or just cancel it and keep my Best Buy in store pick up preorder despite having some Amazon Vias credit put toward the Amazon order (and earning 5% back on the balance).

Yea once I saw it was avaliable everywhere so readily I just canceled my direct. I'd rather not it sit outside while I wait for my wife to decide to open the door and grab it.
I'll be at home on Thursday, so didn't have that issues, so would have stuck with the Amazon one if I was confident the delivery would update to the 7th. But still nice to just be able to go pick it up vs. waiting for whatever time it got delivered as well (often mid to late afternoon for me with Amazon stuff unless it's an early morning next day delivery order).

Still not shipped from Playstation direction, which I ordered the morning it was open after waiting in the queue.

Sony must really trust that it will only take 2 days for this thing to get here, but come on man, don't leave me hanging this late.

They sent me an email saying to prepare for shipment a few days ago, when I check it is still waiting for shipment and arriving on the proper date, but nothing is happening yet that I can tell on my end. No card charge, no followup email, neurosis spiking.

I've order the stand. Seeing those clip stands packaged with the console in those unboxing videos made me uncomfortable.
 
What is the first thing everyone plans to do with their ps5 pro? What games are you playing first?

- Alan wake 2 DLC (both of them)
- Resident Evil 4 Remake (to see how it looks/runs with everything turned on)
- See if Space Marine 2 is less of a shit-show framerate wise even without a Pro patch
- same thing with BM Wukong
