[LectureMaster]

Thanks for the informative thread!

I'd like to know when it will be live tomorrow on PS Direct storefront.

[Pfroebbel]

I really need a time when i can try to get one

[Ironman_Bad]

Do they usually charge full amount at pre order or right before shipping

 

[sendit]

This is going to sell out. You'll have scalpers selling this at $1000+ on ebay this holiday.

 

[RyanEvans21]

Do they usually charge full amount at pre order or right before shipping

Usually they charge you after they ship the product.

 

[Tomi]

Gonna sell like hotcakes

 

[Mythoclast]

Hoping we get a time announced soon for the 30th anniv Pro

PS direct tomorrow at….midnight on the 26th….or….

I can imagine reasons the time wont be pre-announced

 

[Doctor Hades]

So does the PS Direct link for the PS5 Pro go live at midnight tonight here in the UK or is it a global pre-order at a specific worldwide time? I ask because midnight in the UK on 26th September would be 8-10 hours ahead of the US. If it was the same time worldwide that it would be 8am in the UK and midnight in the US etc etc.

Some sort of live countdown would be useful here.

 

[TrebleShot]

Yeah this is a bit of a shambles, there needs to be a time attached to this, how did it happen with the slims and the portal?

 

[consoul]

Good luck to us all.
It's gonna be an absolute clusterfuck.

 

[CloudShiner]

Yeah, I'm in the UK...I really don't wanna stay up through the night but unless we get a time I've got no choice in case they dump them in the early hours and I wake up tomorrow morning to find them gone.

PS Direct hasn't done midnight pre-orders. They're usually in the morning.

 

[Skifi28]

The pro is a scam, just terrible value and games will look identical. Don't get fooled into buying one, just let me grab mine first.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Oh for fuck sake, I'm going to be up from midnight to the following morning and then my girlfriend will take over.

 

[Judge Magister]

I'm glad you guys are all over the PS5 Pro, making it easy to pre-order the Connect Four for only 50€.

 

[Radical_3d]

Good luck to us all.
It's gonna be an absolute clusterfuck.

Good luck, gentlemen. I’m going for the anniversary one. o7

So according to this, Australia's preorders go live at 10am their time. Not sure what that means for those of us in the US. Just found this link on reddit tho.

I can't find an article for the US at this point though.

Its now the 26th in Australia

Like 10 am PST or 8 am EST?

Big difference there….

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Imagine if Sony would have just told people more than 24 hours in advance so they could make plans

Or even the pricing of the LE bundle

 

[mayham2199]

Insane that we don't have a time yet. WTH is going on let us know when we can preorder this thing.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Wonder what % of pre-orders will go to scalpers?

 

[Fahdis]

Don't do it plebs. Even the pup is smart.

 

[mayham2199]

If they do the queue system like last time I don't think they can grab that many like last time.

 

[ManaByte]

Bullshit. They did the queue for the Spider-Man 2 faceplates and scalpers got them all.

 

[MayauMiao]

Every time I look at the PS5 Pro promo, I can't help but to think something is missing..

 

[AngelMuffin]

Let’s hope.

 

[DryvBy]

Disc drive is back up on Amazon (works on mobile better)

Also on PS Direct!

 

[mckmas8808]

GOOD!!!! More for me.

 

[K' Dash]

I hope this thing doesn't sell so I can walk in and get one in December when I'm in US for vacation.

 

[nnytk]

I also would like to know, I'm living in Europe, Benelux, wonder if the NL-BE site of Playstation will have Pro pre-orders up. And at what tiiiime???

They gave 10:00 am for the Anniversary Edition but yeah no thanks I want the regular Pro tbh.

 

[Radical_3d]

Yes.

Every time I look at the PS5 Pro promo, I can't help but to think something is missing..

 

[DryvBy]

Lunatic_Gamer Are you going to post the 30th when it hits too?

 

[MayauMiao]

Yes.

 

[Radical_3d]

Ohhhh… I didn’t see it the first time. Very cheeky.

 

[Kazdi]

In my country (without ps direct) preorders start at 10am. It was the same with PSVR2.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I've been thinking this too!

 

[mayham2199]

Bullshit. They did the queue for the Spider-Man 2 faceplates and scalpers got them all.

Strange the queue system worked perfectly with the PS5 I was able to get one and so was a coworker of mine. I'm not saying it outright stops them but it helps and is much better than just leaving it open for anyone.

They just have multiple PSN accounts on multiple browsers/tabs to get into the queue more than once.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Feel like this shit should be limited to PS Direct at first and you should have to register with a bunch of info and limit of one per person.

 

[ManaByte]

I was wrong, the Spider-Man pre-order wasn't noon PST.

I remember being in the queue at 9 CST, so that would be 7am PST/10am EST.

If they do it the same for this, I'd start checking the site about an hour before then.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Don't even really want this because of the price, but that classic edition is giving me major FoMO.

You can buy a pro version with the colours that killed sega and then sold it in eBay to the people who refused to buy a console without transparency effects UuU

Selling it for a premium would feel really good for the 20-year-old me inside.

 

[Synastry]

And Sony isn't forcing you to.

I for one will buy it when I get the chance not in the first wave but maybe second.
