Been a good 28 hours for me besides the hiccup. Had to drive 8 hours and got this sexy boy obsidian pearl fight stick for $200 used(they don’t make obsidian 1s anymore since they are ps4 stock).

And of course the 30 Pro. Now i must enter my beauty rest.

 

[Neofire]

Fucking hell! I missed the Portal but got a controller and get this shit.....the reason I wasn't getting through was because of the shitty ass Chrome browser. I switched to the Samsung one and it got through no problem.

I am still wanting the portal 30th Anniversary Edition if anyone will sell it to me!

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Got my confirmation email about 20 minutes after placing the order. Takes a little while.

 

[Kvally]

use Microsoft edge browser

I would rather eat my own ass.

 

[sono]

UUUUUGh been in my cart for 2 hours, can't click Place Order.....

had same issue with astrobot controller

I had that issue with 30th pro at 1015uk this morning had to settle with regular pro so feel my pain instead

 

[Vyse]

I was able to get back in and order a disc drive.

tech illiterate people are funny.

Lmao. Same

 

[small_law]

No glitches. Got the waiting room at 9:55 AM EDT, ordered confirmed by 11:45 AM EDT.

With the price tag being so high, there's no way we see the kind of ravenous demand there was for the PS5 launch. Keep trying if you get stuck or dropped.

 

[DosGamer]

Ive tried like 4 different browsers... and I think I am going to give up.. I got one more chance going. This is soooo frustrating!

Alright, well I managed to secure a normal pro, a normal 30th anniversary controller (that I may keep in the box and just buy a handmade eBay version of one to actually use) and a controller charging station.

I bought a disc drive that should be at my house today or tomorrow. So all in all I’d say I made out decent. I’m definitely going to buy some third party base plates and disc tray cover to turn my pro into a clone of the 30th anniversary though. It’ll be pretty sick.

The best part is that I’ll still have my normal PS5 that I can use to bring to friends houses/my grandmas house (which is currently where my PS4 Pro is).

 

[Kvally]

Sony announced PS5 Pro for $700, us PS fans have meltdowns, wonder if Sony knows what they are doing anymore. PS5 Pro Pre-Order day...

 

[ap_puff]

Such garbage. My new session is with Edge so Hopefully that works. WTF SONY

 

[Neofire]

Hold up why did PS direct cancel charge and cancel my payment?

 

[Kvally]

tech illiterate people

 

[Alebrije]

Hope I can get one by 2025 , Here in México Will be wild to get one this year.

 

[Topher]

tech illiterate people are funny.

Browser choice equates to tech literacy?

 

[Games of Today]

Fucking hell! I missed the Portal but got a controller and get this shit.....the reason I wasn't getting through was because of the shitty ass Chrome browser. I switched to the Samsung one and it got through no problem.

I am still wanting the portal 30th Anniversary Edition if anyone will sell it to me!

Funny enough, Safari fucked me and I downloaded Chrome on the App Store to get through lmao.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Oh SHIT I nabbed a 30th ann Portal when it was out of stock I kept refreshing and it went back in stock so I hit add to cart it said out of stock then hit it again and it went into cart and I was able to check out. Try this cuz people will have credit card issues and things will go back in/out of stock. Same for 30th ann controller.

 

[Kamina]

Got a PS5 Pro!

As was foretold

 

[Elios83]

Based on this thread and its 40 pages of people preordering it's basically the neogaf story

 

[Needlecrash]

Struck out at the direct PS store. FUCK THIS.

I was just on a minute ago. The Pro is still readily available. It's the 30th bundle causing the chaos.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Got an order in just now for PS5 pro, anniversary controller standard, and disc drive. Sadly missed the anniversary bundle and other anniversary items.

JUST GOT MINE. Fucking hell this was a nightmare.

 

[FullMetalx117]

HOW THE FUCK!?

You based in the US?

Yup based in US! Used chrome, didn't do anything particular. I missed this early morning and was just wanting to get an order in asap, think later haha

 

[proandrad]

Stages of grief due to the price tag. We have made it to acceptance. Can wait to read post, “is the PS5 series s holding back devs.”

 

[Needlecrash]

I was just using Chrome and the checkout button wouldn't do anything. Had to use Firebox and got the order in.

 

[Neofire]

Seems Sony pinged my payment to ensure amount then cancelled the pre authorization. First time pre ordering through PS direct. Didn't know they did that.

My order number hasn't been cancelled though.

 

[DosGamer]

I give up... this has been an exercise in frustration to say the least... None of my browsers would let me add to cart.

 

[BlitzerRadic]

For those of you who want a pro keep trying! It's still available. All the anniversary items are sold out though.

 

[bundylove]

Annnddd its sold out on amazon in canada.

I think this will be sold out on and off till next year but wont be as bad as it was with the original.

Looks like all this doom and gloom had no effect.

Sorry pc peasants , the pro just ate your breakfast lol. Just joking

 

[AlphaDump]

Just picked one up. Had a small wait time and got directed to site to purchase. Done within 10 mins.

 

[bundylove]

Phone or tablet. Dont use pc for this.

I am delighted the pro is still available. Means it will be easy to get at launch.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Is at the cart the problem?

Just now

Edit: Digital is gone now

i can't put it in my basket because it says "not available at the moment" so must be sold out. it was like this since this afternoon.

 

[Kvally]

Phone or tablet. Dont use pc for this.

I had to use my phone as well. Chrome on my Mac wasn't adding anything to the cart.

 

[DosGamer]

my phone is not working either... .
The PS app or just going to a link... both will not let me add to cart.

 

[Codeblew]

Damn, just the normal pro left. I wonder if it will sell out.

 

[DJ12]

And like I didn't mean they can't stop bots and straight up scalpers but it would be very hard to stop the average actual gamer trying to make a buck if they were able to snag one

With just 12300 worldwide, they could've sent out an email to ps± members asking to register interest, then put the people pre registering through some algorithm and enter the people who met the criteria into a ballot.

This would make sure most if not all would get into the hands of people that actually want to have one.

Sure a good percentage would still a scalp it if people are really paying double, to quintuple more for them. But there would be more chance they'd end up in the right hands

 

[Kvally]

I just logged back in to see what is available.

 

[Neofire]

I used a different browser than chrome.

 

[Kvally]

 

[VinnyMac]

Got the regular pro and 30th standard controller. I'm sure they will sell the plates separately.

 

[Vercimber]

So on the site’s order page, I’ve gotten

30th DS
30th DE
30th Portal
30th Slim
PS Pro

These all show up in my orders, but I’ve only gotten an email for the Slim and the Pro. Anyone else experience this? I ordered all hours ago.

 

[mayham2199]

Seems like they have a nice amount of stock or no one is buying it.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I would rather eat my own ass.

Edge is better than Chrome these days.
