Kicked back out even clicking on stuff now a 30 minute queue

Might be a long day

How long were ya active for before it kicked you out?

 

[Calverz]

Thats a very premature take. I sat in a queue for over an hour. And you dont know how many they had to allocate. My impression is that demand has exceeded their initial expectations.

?
It started shortly after 10am in uk. Someone could access the website after 12pm and still buy the pro comfortably.

Original ps5 launch, the console was sold out in minutes. These are the facts.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

How long were ya active for before it kicked you out?

Maybe 15 - 20 minutes

 

[RyanEvans21]

I got in! I wish i can pre-order right now

 

[Judge Magister]

Now yes, UK unavailable too.

Still available in Spain, Italy and Portugal.

 

[Slayer-33]

right, direct does not pull info from the playstation site for payment/address purposes

Dammit? Gotta out in card info on actual checkout?

 

[CLW]

Is there a queue/page for the "Standard" Pro when I swing and miss on the 30th Anniversary edition queue?

I'm about to say F this and open it up on 10 computers, lol.

 

[TGO]

It doesn't. At least in the US is doesn't. PS Direct doesn't talk to the PSN Account/PS Store page.

Really? I got the information from someone in the US
So if go to profile and edit your details, it doesn't redirect you to your playstation account?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

If demand for the pro was high it would have sold out in minutes. It took 3 hours.

3 hours still rather quickly for an overpriced console nobody wants.

Anyway, bought a verticle stand as well.

Well, just found out that we have a staff meeting at 9am today. Usually Wednesdays. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

 

[Poppyseed]

It uses the same details as the Playstation Store & your PSN Account.
If you haven't got anything set up for some reason and the site won't let you set it up do it on the PlayStation or PSapp

Not the case in the USA, sadly.

 

[midasmulligan]

just ordered the disk drive...might as well spend the time doing something productive

 

[HercRaato]

Got through the queue twice then put back into 25 min queue. Sigh bad day for a hurricane to be causing problems.

 

[Kvally]

Correct. They are totally separate. It's like PS Direct is a different entity.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I'm about to say F this and open it up on 10 computers, lol.

Pro tip open different types like a PC, tablet and phone

 

[reinking]

Oh for crying out loud. Back in the queue.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Its out of stock in multiple countries now, including France, Germany and the UK.

Netherlands as well.

 

[TGO]

Correct. They are totally separate. It's like PS Direct is a different entity.

That's very inconvenient, sorry bro

 

[Poppyseed]

Tried it on the regular Playstation store site? That's where you do it

Yep, doesn't work in the USA.

 

[DenchDeckard]

It's sold out in Germany and not possible to buy from the UK Direct store

I'd say keep your EBay order and then see if you can pick one up from anywhere else in the meantime?

 

[CLW]

Well, just found out that we have a staff meeting at 9am today. Usually Wednesdays. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

 

[Vroadstar]

If demand for the pro was high it would have sold out in minutes. It took 3 hours.

 

[Katajx]

Waiting on my turn. Been out of the queue for more than 30 minutes and haven’t been put back in yet.

 

[rubik's dude]

Now the question is, does this queue matter? Or will there be a new queue at 10am?

If you enter this queue now and you're stuck waiting for it to finish, can you enter that queue when it opens?

Is it better to not get into this queue?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Sethbacca]

Have they been going up at exactly 10am in each region or a few minutes either way? Debating what to set my timer for so that I can stop paying attention to work for 10-15 minutes while I hammer refresh here.

 

[Interfectum]

[Slayer-33]

It's going to be one of those mi mornings ya'll

 

[PhillyPhreak11]

I've been placed into the waiting room twice so far on the US PS Direct store. That's strange. I don't want the console, just a 30th anniversary edition Dualsense.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Out of stock now in the UK. So they sold out in about 3 hours.

Yeah, I don't think Banjo64 Is going to need those Jaw exercises

 

[midasmulligan]

Dammit? Gotta out in card info on actual checkout?

yes, realized that myself and did a test run with the disk drive purchase on direct

 

[fudgybrownie]

First time using Direct, how come when I try adding an item it doesn't add it to my cart?

Try a different web browser. On my phone chrome is having that issue but on my mac it's fine. I added edge to my phone and it works. The website isn't the greatest.

 

[Kvally]

I have no hair, and I lost more hair already this morning.

 

[Slayer-33]

yes, realized that myself and did a test run with the disk drive purchase on direct

Can't even put anything in cart atm, mobile direct site

Samsung browser, JFC..

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

I wonder if PlayStation execs take the first ones.

They'll give number one to Miyamoto and he will give them Nintendo ip on their console. It's about equal value

 

[RyanEvans21]

Now the question is, does this queue matter? Or will there be a new queue at 10am?

If you enter this queue now and you're stuck waiting for it to finish, can you enter that queue when it opens?

I Think it matter if you already in their website.

 

[Kvally]

Make sure you are signed in. Even though I made it through the queue on my phone, it wasn't signed in. My browser on my Mac was signed in though.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I'm already on the site but people are saying that wont work and I'll be kicked out/have to re-que at 10 EST...I'm not sure if I trust people lol

Edit: Well now I'm back in a 30 minute que. One thing NOT to do is open the site multiple times once you're in on the same device because if you do it'll re-que you...

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I'm already on the site but people are saying that wont work and I'll be kicked out/have to re-que at 10 EST...I'm not sure if I trust people lol

You will have to requeue at 10

 

[Slayer-33]

Well, this is fantastic. Can't add SQUAT to cart thru my Samsung browser, currently in on the direct site.

 

[RedC]

Try a different web browser. On my phone chrome is having that issue but on my mac it's fine. I added edge to my phone and it works. The website isn't the greatest.

Thanks. Will try a new browser.

Yeah, but the OG PS5 was in short supply from the off. Too early to assess, but I think Pro is doing very well at this moment. We'll need to wait to see how it all lands with actual figures.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Line has been paused

 

[Archie501]

Have they been going up at exactly 10am in each region or a few minutes either way? Debating what to set my timer for so that I can stop paying attention to work for 10-15 minutes while I hammer refresh here.

I was in a queue from 8:05am in the UK, but it did state "queue paused". Then at around 10:05-10:10am the page refreshed, there was a short yellow bar and countdown and I was able to make a purchase. I didn't touch the page at all just left it to refresh on its own

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Now in the waiting room it says "the line is paused". So I'm waiting for the waiting room to wait in the que I guess.

 

[RyanEvans21]

58 mins to go! You guy ready to disappoint for not getting one?

 

[HercRaato]

Getting a line is paused in my queue

I joined at 10am in the UK, whilst others had been queueing for an hour or two before that. I finally got to buy at 11:30 am. So I'd advise joining the queue earlier than 10am, but just know that it took me 90+mins at around 11:30am before I got to buy.
