PS5 Pro pre-orders go live |OT|
- Thread starter Lunatic_Gamer
- Start date
This may be coincidence but I got "something went wrong" message and managed to get around it. I ordered 1 and needed 2 ps5 pro. The first was fine but the second kept saying something went wrong, was on 2 different accounts.
Could be just luck but I tried getting the second like 10 times with same message then I tried it on my secret browser and it worked straight away. Is it possible they won't let 2 be ordered from the same I.P address? Surely not. Also was same payment method I kept trying.

I thought it was against ebay T&C's to list something you don't own.

If they made it time limited and not quantity limited scalper could have been stopped.
Just taka orders and fullfill them when possible.

Got through the queue (UK) sign in to buy - cannot connect to server!

That kind of defeats the purpose of being super limited which is what Sony wanted
People should just wait and buy plates anyhow if they like the color

Same here. I ended up just cancelling it. Life's too short to be wasting on Sony's crappy website. I couldn't even get the site to accept my proper address as it would keep splitting part of the address and then would not show the postcode even though it was showing when I clicked on the address to edit it. Such a complete disaster. I even went through the waiting twice only to have the actually check out fail both times with a "Something went wrong" error. How are people supposed to know what the issue is if it doesn't say? Was it my address? The payment details were correct as I only used the card two days ago to purchase something on the PS Store from my PS5.

Thanks guys. Yeah I went the other way to

, I was in chrome and switched to Edge, then everything went through. It obviously didn't like the browser with which you were in the queue. Email confirmation received instantly too. And I can easily access my orders too. All good!

I couldn't get the order process to work on my PC, I first got "an error occurred" and then I couldn't login to the Playstation network. I ordered a PS5 Pro using Safari on my iPad.

Classic digital is still up if anyone wants that.
Yeah, I eventually got back in to confirm my order went through, so I think I’m good.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Probably half or more of those 120K gonna be up on reselling websites in the next couple of days.
Scalpers are the scum of the earth.

Someone earlier said “I went on and saw the 30th pro available but couldn’t justify it” or something. So they bought the regular pro
wtf you doing bro? The pro still ain’t sold out here in uk yet.

There are ways but eBay wants to make money too.

I managed to get one on Ebay for "just" 960€. I know, not proud of myself. 
Also managed to get a Dual Sense 30th Anniversary.
The Anniversary prices on Ebay are just insane and the regular version is selling out for double the price.
So much for "You can just buy one at launch"

Good tip would recommend!
Went via Safari on the iPad straight in and ordered. Nice one.

Fuck Scalpers. I wish there was a way for sony to identify them and just cancel their orders. Would be amazing.

Its still available to log in and buy in the UK. Honestly, I would cancel those ebay orders and just buy one from a retailer. This thing is not going to be in short supply.

They could have your name on the machine. I would ask them to write "Dick Cox" as my name. That thing in 10 years would be wort £50k.

Success. Managed to place a pre-order... FINALLY... by copying the link and pasting into Microsoft Edge from Google Chrome. For some reason, I was unable to place the pre-order with Google Chrome despite it being up to date. Both Chrome and Edge are basically the same browser these days so, god only knows, why Edge worked and Chrome didn't.
Just posting this here in case it helps anyone else.
Also, the fact that I was still able buy one almost two hours after the pre-orders went live tells me that the demand for the PS5 Pro is perhaps not that high. I suspect that everyone who wants one will be able to get one.

No way I'm getting a standard PS5 Pro on PS Direct rather than Amazon - 1 year vs 2 years of warranty. I was only interested in the exclusive Pro bundle for myself to use, but got no luck with a 20 minute queue.
And the more I think of it, the more I'm convinced I will be fine with a PS5 slim disc at half the price of Pro + separate disc drive.

So I can now access the site with no wait. Perhaps not worth the faffing if like me you're just after a normal Pro. But glad its sorted.
If the anniversary edition is so popular, why not just make more of them? We're only talking cosmetic shells after all aren't we? Doing it the way they are, is surely only going to piss off your hardcore customers.... seems a strange way to do business.

Scalpers don't care. In 2020 the Sneaker Bros who scalp every Nike "drop" set up their bots to scalp the 'Station 5. They're smooth brain idiots and they are still ready to scalp any new PS5 release.

Didn’t know i live in the UK. I’m not surprised the pro isn’t sold out. It’s very niche with that price and will sell half of the ps4 pro if they’re lucky.Someone earlier said “I went on and saw the 30th pro available but couldn’t justify it” or something. So they bought the regular pro

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
12K, not 120K. And that's all the inventory worldwide, seems they're only selling a few thousand in each batch release.
