Any luck, UK dwellers?

Same here, been on UK direct since about 6am. Think the queue has only started for people logging in recently. We're good.

I've been refreshing that since 3:30am (couldn't sleep!) every 5 or 10 minutes. Shortly after 8am I was put in a paused queue and it says this:

I was added to the queue eventuallyI'm in Germany. I wasn't looking for a specific link, they just put me in a queue.
So what does that mean? That we have priority on purchasing it or it's just a random hold to manage the site traffic.
Kind of, as far as I'm aware it's allocated in groups. So if you are within the first group then yes your position is randomised. However if you only arrive 2 minutes before launch you would most likely be out in a much later group and thus not be in front of the first group.

I'm in the queue here in the UK. Was not expecting to see anything but the normal PS Direct page until close to 10am. It's only 8:38am here and I'm at work. Oh well, if I manage to pre-order a PS5 Pro then great but otherwise I'll just try Amazon, GAME etc on 10th October.
I normally have the worst luck with these sort of things. I also have a meeting at 9:30am. So I’ll be ordering via my phone, and hopefully no one notices me not paying attention.

As you can see on your queue page (mine looks exactly like yours), your last status update is from 09:06 local time. Given (?) that the servers handling the HTTP requests coming in have been live since around 09:00, you can savely assume that by then, thousands of bots had already hammered this endpoint to receive a favorable spot in the queue. Since there's only 12300 units being produced, I think we can deduce from that that you'll get a regular Pro if you're lucky. Does anyone know if Sony also checks for duplicate shipping addresses during this process? Not that people with a host of proxy servers and different addresses would be held back by that...Sounds like it.
I wasn't even looking for the Anniversary edition but i'm thinking about it now.

Not necessarily, thanks to the 'random place given when countdown reaches zero' thing. Though it kind of sucks that it's not a legit queue rather than a lottery-style grouping. Good luck.
