Since they are packaged in the US (Terre Haute Indiana of all places) I think for us its safe to assume we have loads sitting here getting packaged as we speak

Future shipments could be impacted though

Oh thanks for this post! Whew! lol

 

[jroc74]

I wouldn't be surprised if these things are already sitting in regional warehouses waiting to ship via UPS/Fedex and the like since we're only 4 weeks out. I mean, I might be wrong but I doubt they'd be doing a worldwide hardware rollout without already having these things in hand.

Yeah I didnt think they would be coming from overseas.

Now...a year or 2 ago I got a laptop from Lenovo that was shipped from overseas. I didnt know until I placed the order.

I am due back in Indiana in about 2 weeks and would love to visit there and see if I could come away with some parting gifts

Terre Haute? I remember back in the day, Columbia House used to ship from there as well. I'm guessing it's the same warehouse.

I believe Terre Haute is a major shipping hub for the eastern US. I see tons of stuff coming from there

 

[FrankWza]

I love that this console exists just to see the feelings and emotions that it brings out. People are so angry that it's $700. Don't buy it or wait for a price drop.

Sony reportedly using air freight to move PlayStation 5 to US retailers

Sony is reportedly using air freight to ship PlayStation 5 units in order to better meet demand for the hardware. This …

That was also the launch of the PS5, not the niche pro

 

[//DEVIL//]

Just saying its not even worth worrying about it. Sony will use whatever method to get the system here in holiday. strike or not. what kind of a silly thing to worry about. lol

 

[MayauMiao]

Haven't seen much chatter about this. But of course 1 month before shipments are due to go out, the international shipping union has to strike! Yes, I know. This is probably the most petty thing of all time to be worrying/complaining about. LOLLLLLZZZZZ. BUT, say we live in a petty world (hard to imagine right?), anyone else think/know how much the shipping strike will delay the PS5 Pro shipments? Are we still thinking we're going to receive them on launch day?

Eh.....anything I pay $700 for I'm going to worry about potential delivery issues. That's just normal

They would probably just bring them into the ports on the west coast since they aren't on strike.

 

[MrMephistoX]

enough about the topic to say for certain but since they are manufactured in China wouldn’t west coast ports be somewhat unscathed? Truckers and air freight aren’t affected so if it became an issue for the rest of the country could Sony and other retailers not just ship west to east? I’m more concerned about food supplies coming in from the Midwest but again CA and the west coast are largely supplied by CA so I guess we’d be fine?

 

[Euler007]

They would probably just bring them into the ports on the west coast since they aren't on strike.

Also Halifax and Montreal, then freight rail. But since it comes from Asia it's probably going to the left coast.

 

[Quantum253]

There are now some rumors swirling around that the East coast longshoreman union is trying to get the West coast workers to join in solidarity. I don't know the legitimacy of this outside of knowing a couple of port security personnel.
I don't think it will happen though.

 

[AngelMuffin]

No, it’s a want, not a need.

[LiquidMetal14]

I'm not sure how other states are handling it but here in Florida our governor is sending the Florida national guard to help with the shipping in order to keep things moving smooth in this particular state. That's what I call a proactive governor for his people.

 

[ReBurn]

If the strike goes on for too long the president will probably invoke Taft-Hartley and make the longshoremen go back to work while negotiations continue.

Kim and I stopped in at a WalMart last night for a few things and walked past the toilet paper aisle and completely wiped out, TP thats made here in the US

People as a whole are stupid

Memories in video form:

 

[dmaul1114]

Nah. Would be surprised if it didn't come on time. And no biggie if it doesn't as I'm not ditching my launch PS5 until I get it and November is a busy month with a couple of trips so I won't do a ton of gaming anyway.

Working on some Switch and XSX games now anyway, while holding off Spider-Man 2 and RE4 remake on PS5 Pro to play the enhanced versions--and obviously I haven't been dying to play those games since I haven't gotten around to them for so long after they launched.

 

[Kerotan]

At least it's not in Europe where the strike we have to worry about is those Houti tramps in Yemen sinking our delivery ship from Japan. Could you imagine my 30th anniversary edition ended up bottom of the sea.

 

[Bigfroth]

I am not worried about my PS5 Pro getting to my house, any more than I'm concerned about running out of toilet paper lol

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

As a German I'm so sorry to see you guys getting strikes on your shippings again, it wasn't us this time. I'll see myself out, enough internet and alcohol for today.

The shipping strikes is going to hurt European economies as well. Since it's only harbor workers on the east coast and gulf coast that are going to strike, exports from Asia to the west coast won't be affected, but exports from Europe and oil from the Middle East won't get processed. One worry is the European harbors are going to fill up with container ships filled with European products that have nowhere to go to when US harbors close.

heard that could happen. and the union head said they would just do the bare minimum. and it would only be 90 days. so would still cause major delays.

They can just air drop that bad boy to me directly. I'll catch it.

That's what I meant.. I'm in Europe. If Israel takes out Iran's power stations and oil/gas terminals Iran might say fuck it and start sinking ships sailing by. The world economy can't catch a break for years now. Imagine that followed by a Taiwan war for the PS6.

 

[Tarkus]

There’s been a deal struck with the workers now, so no worries.

Crisis averted - for now.

Dockworkers strike suspended, the union says

The union representing East Coast and Gulf Coast dockworkers was seeking higher wages and a ban on the use of some automated equipment.

abcnews.go.com

A historic United States port strike has been suspended, according to the International Longshoremen’s Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance.

A tentative agreement was reached "on wages" and extending "the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues," the ILA and USMX said in a joint statement Thursday evening.

"Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume," the statement read.
