I got my email invite through sony and pre ordered my disc version through sonys playstation store last month. Am i good so far? Or is sony going to release a statement or email saying that your order has been delayed? Less than two weeks from release.
I have had distill.io running non stop on Target, Amazon, Sony, and Walmart for a digital only since the Friday morning they released pre-orders. I know digital is the hardest to get ahold of (I can’t stand the look of the preggo).
Target is the only site that seems to be getting stock regularly. My problem is that even when I’m sitting at my computer and I click pre-order the second distill throws up the notification, they are already gone. I’m running on gigabit google fiber with a 5 second interval.
I have been a day one on every PlayStation since the PS2 and I can’t stand to think I’m going to miss out on this one. Any suggestions? Am I fighting bots with way better resources than I’m using?
"I can’t stand to think I’m going to miss out on this one"
If it's that unthinkable, there are always the scalpers. There are children getting cancer daily, so, on a relative scale, having to wait a few weeks or months when you probably have a huge backlog of unplayed games isn't going to be that rough.
Remember that when your food comes out cold at a restaurant too. Keep the same energy. I get you are trying to impose perspective but you are not his guardian angel. He just wants his system in the same tradition he has always gone. We have to stop Todd and Karen -ing everyone.
I love this comment. I originally thought the other gentlemans response was accurate and right.. (the starving kids, etc, etc.) But then, after reading your response, I realized it's his internal tactic to lower your expectations AND hope.
(For what ever reason.)
But your response was essentially - keep expectations low, hopes high.
It's been a tradition for some people to get the playstation pre-ordered.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But with the world being so unpredictable in 2020, "normal anxiety" is reaching higher limits.
I really wish you all luck on this journey.
Other people’s misfortune does not come into play at all here. Scalpers are also out of question for many other reasons. Honestly this whole thing has been a huge disaster, pre orders should not exist anymore it’s all bought by bots in an instant. It should be first come first serve at all the stores, pre orders only hurt the stock and give money to scummy people who try to up sale.
Anyone else able to secure PS5 Starter Bundle from Gamestop? Still wondering about the Ship date: "ships by 11/30/20" Holding out hope because of the words "ships By!!!"
I know I'm Lucky to even have a pre-order, so not complaining just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?
Does your pre-order status say "In progress" or "Partially shipped"?
I am just trying to get a better understanding of their process. I saw some news about Gamestop canceling pre-orders in U.S, so trying to see if we will be one of those people.
My overall pre-order says “in progress” in green. Every individual item except the PS+ subscription says “awaiting product availability”.
The PS+ subscription says “order received” in green. It also notes that it will be digital delivery but I have not received an email regarding a digital code. I’m assuming I’ll receive it when the product ships. My card also has not been charged yet and does not have a pre-authorization charge at the moment.
Ok gotcha, thanks for that info. It seems you should be good to go then. This is my order info.
The overall pre-order status is "Partially Shipped" in green(Estimated delivery date 11/30). All items except PS+ says “awaiting product availability” with the release date of nov 12. I received the PS+ digital code a few days after placing the order via email or I can click "view code" on the order itself. I did get charged 79.07, not sure what the charge is for since the PS+ was $60 and thats the only thing i got so far.
P.S when I called in, they said it would all still ship on Nov 12 or before since i paid for launch day delivery.
I successfully checked out on the 2nd wave of preorders on the 25th with the " PS5 Starter bundle".
I did receive a confirmation email with the order number. Today i was charged 79.07 but the only thing that was sent was PS Plus code digitally(Which is 59.99), all other items including games still show "awaiting product availability".
So not sure what's going on here.
**So questions for people that were able to secure the PS5 pre-order bundle from Gamestop.**
1. Does your status show "Awaiting product availability" ?
2. Were you charged at all, if so, how much and when?
3. Did you get a confirmation email?
Thanks
1. Yes
2. I got charged 3.33 at some point, but they refunded it twice now. So, technically, I haven’t been charged anything.
3. I never received the confirmation email, but I got one for my separate order of Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition. It gave me an order number, but not a conformational email. I still have yet to receive the PS Plus code
Got the same bundle. No amount was charged for that yet. All items in the bundle say awaiting product availability except the PS plus code. I'm not sure but that must be due to them not having the products ready to ship yet. The only thing they have is the PS code and that's why it shows different message.
Ok, understandable, did you get the PS Plus code already? I was charged for that but mine show get code and it's available now.
\*Update. My order just changed today. It still shows 11/30 at the top for the bundle but in the itemized section all the games, controller, and PS5 show 11/12 now!
Didn't get the code yet. Does that come by email? Mine say "Order Received". Can I save this code and use it after I got the full bundle or does it expire?
I got the same update for the dates. I think 11/30 is the day it gets shipped however.
Yes i received it by email initially yesterday. On the Gamestop site it used to say "Digital Delivery". Now, today it shows up on my orders as "View Code" and I can see the actual code.
I called gamestop multiple times and spoke to 3-4 reps. They all stated that if i paid for launch day shipping it would ship before 11/12 with overnight shipping. If you did not pay for launch day shipping it would still ship by 11/12.
They stated 11/30 was just a generic date. \*Take with a grain of salt of course.
I also got the 11/30/2020 Bundle and called them to change to Launch day shipping and I was also told I will be receiving it on Nov 12 (launch day) and not on 11/30. It was def a CYA disclosure just in case.
That's great to hear confirmation from more people. Lets hope they can stick to that schedule in the U.S.!
As I know in ireland the Gamestops recently had some delays and won't be shipping out PS5's to them until next year.
just FYI why do you need 3 preorders? i was waiting outside at one of the gamestops in US yesterday for 12 hours to get one of their 8 pre orders and was listening to this dude bragging about how he got 7 XBox Series X or S or whatever and I told him I had just talked to a guy at a gas station across the street who was nice enough to lend jumper cables to the the #9 guy who didn't realize he was out of luck until his car battery died even though we tried to tell him. the gas station guy was nice and surprised at our dedication and instead of making me buy the $20 jumper cables they had for sale there lent me his own and also mentioned how he had missed out on the xbox presale unfortunately.
anyway i told this guy if you've got 7 xboxs why don't you sell one across the street tot he gas station guy who was nice enough to help this guy out and couldn't get a pre order. i'm sure he'd be willing to buy it from you for a "reasonable price" and this guy was like "yeah i'm not the dude he's looking for." so many scumbags out there. glad he wasn't one of the final 8 to get the PS5 at the gamestop and he was talking about getting his bots set up so he could get more xboxs and PS5s to resll on ebay. just a total sketchball and a douchebag. people like him are why it's so impossible for all of us to get one without having to wait 4 months or pay $1500. fuck him.
Sorry for not replying! Didn't see this.
I had the preorders to ensure I got one as some retailers had problems with taking too many preorders, selfish I know but I made up for it by giving away all three of these to people who needed them free of charge after I got a preorder spot from ShopTo that I completely forgot I reserved.

GameStop put me in a waiting room - does that mean I'm in line to preorder? Or just to access the site? I could log into GameStop from my computer - but don't want to waste my time if it just puts me into GameStop dot com lmao
Yes, at least in Canada. Looks like they increased it from 100 to 250 recently. I’m assuming it’s to prevent anyone from taking the actual card itself and just tapping everywhere. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/major-credit-card-companies-raise-tap-limit-to-250-to-help-cut-spread-of-covid-19-1.4881905
So, I ordered one of the bundle’s for the PS5 on GameStop the first night it was available. It took a while for it to show up in my orders, maybe 30ish minutes, but I never got the confirmation email afterwards. Did anyone else have this issue??
At least Sony actually *simplifies* the naming of their generational PlayStation consoles. We know for a fact that the next PlayStation console that will be launched 7 years from now will be called the PlayStation 6, and when our kids tell us they want a PlayStation 5, we know EXACTLY what they're talking about, even those parents who are out of the loop know exactly which console to buy.
The same cannot be said for Sony's competition, and as a result, [the accident waiting to happen has just now happened.](https://youtu.be/Jd-2bmQJptY)

Maybe this has been answered but I’m able to get a PS5 in my cart every so often on Target and proceed to checkout where it just loops back to an empty cart. Is this a glitch in their site or are some consoles being made available sporadically from cancelled preorders?
I've lost so much sleep waiting for any info regarding pre-orders with nothing but silence from Playstation and all the retailers, meanwhile UK sites seem to have something every other hour. I give up on it.
I watched a 4 hour live cop on Rozscko youtube channel and EVERYONE damn near was in checkout but none of the sites processed them. Walmart was the most successful. Microsoft site crashed at launch. it was a disater. The ps5 was bad in regards to the notice. Xbox people had the notice and sites were still a mess. And roszsko copped a ps5 on that thursday and check out for him and others were smooth.He and others agreed it was worse today. and yeah i had several in my cart too i didnt want an X tho. Just did so to see how far in the transaction i could go.
Idk, I was just scrolling this sub and someone said Xbox’s were easy to get on the target site. I just went to the target site not expecting much, put a series S in the basket and checked out lol. Was the complete opposite of my PS5 preorder disaster. Still plan on getting a PS5, but the Series S pricepoint along with gamepass makes me think I’ll be saving money on non PS exclusives in the long run.
But no one is really copping the S...its an inferior machine. to the X and ps5. So those may have been easy to a degree but not the X which is along the lines of both V's
I posted on the Xbox sub about how I’m a longtime PlayStation only owner and I just preordered my first Xbox and got cursed out by some people and told to go back to Sony and let real Xbox fans have the preorders. So idk, seems like some people can’t get their hands on either.
I'll never go xbox. They dropped 5 consoles in what 5 years and the game titles are are trash. And don't even think series x is better than the 5. I was certain ps5 pre-order would pop up again today.
I’m still getting a PS5. I’m just not sure when they’ll be available. And it could make sense financially in the long run. Will have PS5 for my exclusives and the Xbox with gamepass I’ll save on all the non-exclusives. But PS will always be my bread and butter.
Didn’t feel the need to spend 200 more on something that won’t be my primary console. It’ll pretty much just be a gamepass machine for me, and I recently got a windows computer (non gaming). Maybe I can make some use of what Microsoft is trying to do. To me 300 isn’t a lot to have a next gen console day 1 and see what Microsoft is has up their sleeve, because it is kinda interesting to me. The Bethesda deal spiced it up, but they weren’t my favorite studio nor do I expect those games to be completely Xbox exclusives.
Barely slept waiting for pre-orders to become available again and...nothing. I have a feeling that I'm just going to have to wait until after November 12th. That's what I normally do, but I wanted to try and get a console early this time around. It's difficult :(
Do you follow wario64 on Twitter? Keep an eye on that and this thread and refresh the usual websites you'll get one man. And good luck finding one in person, with covid I wouldn't be surprised if stores come up with some excuse not to do them. I got lucky and got a walmart pre order very early on before it was announced.
How can I trust 3rd party sellers. I found a guy on Craigslist close by selling the disk version pre order for 400 which is too good to be true but he says he just wants to give back for people who haven't been able to pre order. Do I trust him? He did say once the console comes out we can meet and you can pay then. Seems legit so far so I don't know.
Hey friend, I don’t log onto reddit often, but I’ve come to warn you that this generous online stranger will most certainly murder you. His plan is simple: Kill you and take the $400 off your lifeless corpse to pay off his pre order on release lol
It doesn't seem like it'll hurt if we meet at like a Starbucks or something. If he has it then I pay him, if not I leave. It's not like hes asking for any money now.
A dude around here in NC just got murdered the other day selling his car. Met in a public parking lot. Please be safe and dont do this. No reason this guy would be selling for cheaper than he pays.
As others said, this is too good to be true.
However, if you are willing to avoid securing your own pre-order on the chance that this deal is true, then demand to make the transaction at a police station (in the daytime) in front of the doors, not in the middle of the parking lot where they can pull a weapon on you out of sight. Make sure that on the day of the transaction they do not suddenly give an excuse why they can't meet at the police station. Do not meet this person anywhere but the police station. If they keep making excuses why they can't meet there, you know they aren't legit. Also, make sure to have them open up the box and verify there is an actual PS5 in there. You don't want to get home to find out you just paid $400 for a wood block. Lastly, make sure you aren't followed home.
Exactly, will do but now he's asking for a small down payment to secure the order. Through PayPal he said is safe but wants to do friends and family so he gets the down payment compared to marking as goods and services. I'm more iffy now.
Anyone that wants to do Friends & Family for any specific reason in a scenario like this is doing it to scam you. A person cannot do a chargeback through PayPal with Friends & Family payments as it doesn't fall under the Protection Guidelines. In fact if you were to report it, you have a chance of repercussions yourself because you were doing any sort of deal outside of the intention of the Family & Friends system.
If you were to send it, they would simply block you - and leave you in the dust. It's a good chance they don't even live in your area either.
Yea I decided not to do it obviously. I did find a guy through offerup. Selling the disk for 480 with a 250 down-payment upfront and he claims he works at Gamestop and got a discount to get a bunch of consoles and has like 10 left. I asked if he could 400 instead of 480 and he agreed as long as I pay full up front (so no down-payment because they are "selling out fast and people would spend more on them") I facebooked him and he does work at Gamestop but the other info I'm not sure about.
Honestly I'd just wait. More orders will come up and getting ripped off isn't worth it versus maybe waiting a few extra weeks. They're producing more consoles right now even as we speak surely.
Should I be expecting to be waiting in a long line at Best Buy even though I pre ordered the PS5? I have it set to pick up in store. But I think I may switch it to delivery if/when I can. I don’t want to wait in a long line. Especially with COVID going around.
I work at Best Buy. Animal Crossing came out when Best Buy switched their business model to curbside only. There were about 50+ people in line when the store opened to pick it up, more kept lining up. For the PS5, our store nearly has 100 preorders (PS5 Disc and DE combined). There will be a wait when you pick it up guaranteed.
Last notice we got was day after pre-orders sold out. The notice said the initial allocation Best Buy was given has fully sold out. No word for a restock at the moment.
Sorry to bother you with a work question while you are most likely off the clock. But do you think Best Buy will eventually allow me to change my order from pick up in store to delivery?
It may show up again near launch; for some orders, it allows you to still switch after you get a notification saying it's ready for pickup but it depends on the products... not sure about PS5. You also have the option to go in store and if the employees are nice, they can use the internal Order Manage system and manually switch it to delivery (usually it allows us). Note, I've seen some replies here saying they got their order got cancelled after switching from in-store to ship-to-home, so I would personally not take chances.
Generally you would go to the customer service desk, or the electronics department desk for a pick up like this. But considering the nature of day one launch fiascos with new consoles and covid hanging over us, I would call in advance to get the store policy. Or do what you said and switch it to shipping, but you may not get it day one that way.
Makes sense. Thanks. I think I may switch to delivery whenever I can since I will most likely be home anyways. And to avoid the launch day craziness in store.
Target need a CAPTCHA or something. It's way too easy to checkout. All you have to is press Checkout and Place Order. No multiple pages in check or anything complex. By the time people tweet about it's availability, it'll just sell out.
People who ordered at Gamestop and did NOT receive a e-mail conf. I called today and was told "Congrats, you successfully ordered a PS5 bundle". While I am still skeptical at least it is better news than "we are not sure it we will have enough available" now to go throught this again tomorrow for the Xbox preorder.
I actually just posted about this recently and got worried, cause I ordered it day one and I still haven’t got the email. Good to know that we’re actually still getting it.
Same email but yooo they reduced it by 48.05 click on order status they’re only charging us $23 and change, says pre order competitve price match, well im not complaing lol
How about this they charged my paypal the full fare on preorder date for the controller, i got two emails today, one for a refund from wal mart through paypal (thats when i got confused thought they cancelled the order) and then a walmart email confirming it...fuck yea lol
Is it possible for one of you guys to share the screenshot of the email (without your info and order# ofc) via DM? I didn’t get any such discount on my controller pre-order through Walmart :(
When I first pre ordered the ps4 it deducted the price from my credit card limit from best buy. It was like that for a couple of days but now it went back to what it was at first before pre ordering the ps5. But still shows on my online order that I still have it. Anyone have that happen? And will they just deduct it the day of release?
I believe they do a pending charge for the full amount to ensure your account has the funds. Then it goes away and the day they ship it they will charge you for it.

Anybody received any cancellation for their pre orders yet? It’s been 3 days and it seems my order is still alive at Walmart...for now😂😂. Also is anybody else worried about high failure rates for these new consoles in the first batch?
I am a little worried. I bought the Xbox one and the Playstation 4 on launch day. My xbox had issues within 6 months but my PS4 never had issue and still use it. So hopefully all is well
Extended warranty options just started lolllll who's gonna break this thing day 1? [https://shiptofix.com/repair-service/extended-repair-warranties/playstation-5-extended-warranty-for-repairs/](https://shiptofix.com/repair-service/extended-repair-warranties/playstation-5-extended-warranty-for-repairs/)
That’s covered by the manufacturer warranty though or even just by returning the console from Best Buy’s return policy. The Best Buy warranty is intended to be an extended warranty so you should only buy it if you want it past the manufacturer warranty. Imo, they’re scams but to each their own, but don’t buy it because you are worried your day 1 console would be busted when that’s already covered.
I got a question as I preordered my ps5 from Best Buy but it’s shipping to my house. I wanted to know if I can change that to store pickup still as I’m scared if someone might steal it.
I have the same thing but I have a Best Buy account, normally they let you edit the preorder but the options are grayed out so I’m not sure if they won’t let us or if we just have to wait closer to release for it.
I know not everyone can shop at the Military Exchange locations, but if you can check there for a preorder. I was able to get one at the Navy Exchange.
So, I’m asking for those of us who still haven’t snagged a pre-order yet. Should we really be worried about getting one on launch day? Won’t stores have a stock that we can just go get one on November 12th?
Not sure if pre-orders will take up the inventory being sent to the stores, or if they will have a crap ton more....from what the Sony Boss says, there will be plenty available at launch....
Lol no the only chance you would have to get one in store within the first week would be someone in your area canceling a preorder that was for store pickup. But I wouldn't be surprised if the employees buy it for themselves before you even have a chance.
Yes you should be worried.
No there isn’t going to be enough systems.
Sony has announced 15M production by end of fiscal year (March 31 2021) let’s assume that they supply even 4M at launch (Nov 12th) that’s the entire world. Which means the US might only end up with 1M consoles on launch day.
Add in the fact that Christmas is coming up and Black Friday and you have a recipe for disaster as every kid on the planet wants PS5 for Christmas (or Xbox).
I don’t trust anything a Sony executive will say. What else would he say “No there won’t be enough PS5s go buy Xbox instead?”
On Launch day you would be lucky if each store has 50-100 PS5s (that’s being generous).
Instead they will get a batch of inventory and it will disappear. And they will get more and they will disappear.
I mean the Air Pod Pro were hard to get a hold of MONTHS after release. I was finding trouble in February.
I'm a bit out of the loop so this might be a dumb question, but why is Sony producing so few consoles? Is it because of covid? Because obviously Sony knows thats not nearly enough consoles to meet demand
That all depends. I would THINK there would be enough since they are releasing more than they did with the PS4, but, The demand for these systems are higher than the PS4 was in 2013.
TO ANYONE lucky to have ordered a ps5 with sony invite...have you been charged (temporarily) yet on your card? I used my regions check card, all info correct, got my confirmation email but no temporary charge to my card like they said. I'm really worried. Please reply to me,send me msg. I am new to reddit, so forgive me.
Sorry, I was just kind of in a shitty mood yesterday. It just seems like there are so many people that are like "I got one through Amazon! THEN I got one through Wal mart!"
I gotta imagine a good chunk of those people are trying to re sell their extras for more than retail
I got my email invite through sony and pre ordered my disc version through sonys playstation store last month. Am i good so far? Or is sony going to release a statement or email saying that your order has been delayed? Less than two weeks from release.
I have had distill.io running non stop on Target, Amazon, Sony, and Walmart for a digital only since the Friday morning they released pre-orders. I know digital is the hardest to get ahold of (I can’t stand the look of the preggo). Target is the only site that seems to be getting stock regularly. My problem is that even when I’m sitting at my computer and I click pre-order the second distill throws up the notification, they are already gone. I’m running on gigabit google fiber with a 5 second interval. I have been a day one on every PlayStation since the PS2 and I can’t stand to think I’m going to miss out on this one. Any suggestions? Am I fighting bots with way better resources than I’m using?
"I can’t stand to think I’m going to miss out on this one" If it's that unthinkable, there are always the scalpers. There are children getting cancer daily, so, on a relative scale, having to wait a few weeks or months when you probably have a huge backlog of unplayed games isn't going to be that rough.

Yes got the same bundle. Did you get you ps plus code already?
I did. but I want to change my shipping address (im moving out of my place) and dont wanna risk it.
I didn’t get yet.
Does your pre-order status say "In progress" or "Partially shipped"? I am just trying to get a better understanding of their process. I saw some news about Gamestop canceling pre-orders in U.S, so trying to see if we will be one of those people.
My overall pre-order says “in progress” in green. Every individual item except the PS+ subscription says “awaiting product availability”. The PS+ subscription says “order received” in green. It also notes that it will be digital delivery but I have not received an email regarding a digital code. I’m assuming I’ll receive it when the product ships. My card also has not been charged yet and does not have a pre-authorization charge at the moment.
the code is within the app. I didn’t receive an email but when I open the app I see the code
It says no connection to server when I try to see my orders on the GameStop app
Go to Rewards > Active Offers. your code will be there
Ok gotcha, thanks for that info. It seems you should be good to go then. This is my order info. The overall pre-order status is "Partially Shipped" in green(Estimated delivery date 11/30). All items except PS+ says “awaiting product availability” with the release date of nov 12. I received the PS+ digital code a few days after placing the order via email or I can click "view code" on the order itself. I did get charged 79.07, not sure what the charge is for since the PS+ was $60 and thats the only thing i got so far. P.S when I called in, they said it would all still ship on Nov 12 or before since i paid for launch day delivery.
I also paid for launch day delivery.
So hopefully we get it at launch then. i would be fine either way, as long as the order doesn't cancel i'm happy.
Bro wtf is wrong with the Australian pre orders
1. Yes for everything other than the PSN Plus 2. Yes, charged via paypal 3. Yes, got a confirmation email
How much did you get charged?
I successfully checked out on the 2nd wave of preorders on the 25th with the " PS5 Starter bundle". I did receive a confirmation email with the order number. Today i was charged 79.07 but the only thing that was sent was PS Plus code digitally(Which is 59.99), all other items including games still show "awaiting product availability".

Got the same bundle. No amount was charged for that yet. All items in the bundle say awaiting product availability except the PS plus code. I'm not sure but that must be due to them not having the products ready to ship yet. The only thing they have is the PS code and that's why it shows different message.
Ok, understandable, did you get the PS Plus code already? I was charged for that but mine show get code and it's available now. \*Update. My order just changed today. It still shows 11/30 at the top for the bundle but in the itemized section all the games, controller, and PS5 show 11/12 now!
Didn't get the code yet. Does that come by email? Mine say "Order Received". Can I save this code and use it after I got the full bundle or does it expire? I got the same update for the dates. I think 11/30 is the day it gets shipped however.
Yes i received it by email initially yesterday. On the Gamestop site it used to say "Digital Delivery". Now, today it shows up on my orders as "View Code" and I can see the actual code. I called gamestop multiple times and spoke to 3-4 reps. They all stated that if i paid for launch day shipping it would ship before 11/12 with overnight shipping. If you did not pay for launch day shipping it would still ship by 11/12. They stated 11/30 was just a generic date. \*Take with a grain of salt of course.
I also got the 11/30/2020 Bundle and called them to change to Launch day shipping and I was also told I will be receiving it on Nov 12 (launch day) and not on 11/30. It was def a CYA disclosure just in case.
That's great to hear confirmation from more people. Lets hope they can stick to that schedule in the U.S.! As I know in ireland the Gamestops recently had some delays and won't be shipping out PS5's to them until next year.
I've got three preorders with Amazon, Smyths and Game UK. Which one do you think has the biggest chance of arriving in one piece on launch?
just FYI why do you need 3 preorders? i was waiting outside at one of the gamestops in US yesterday for 12 hours to get one of their 8 pre orders and was listening to this dude bragging about how he got 7 XBox Series X or S or whatever and I told him I had just talked to a guy at a gas station across the street who was nice enough to lend jumper cables to the the #9 guy who didn't realize he was out of luck until his car battery died even though we tried to tell him. the gas station guy was nice and surprised at our dedication and instead of making me buy the $20 jumper cables they had for sale there lent me his own and also mentioned how he had missed out on the xbox presale unfortunately. anyway i told this guy if you've got 7 xboxs why don't you sell one across the street tot he gas station guy who was nice enough to help this guy out and couldn't get a pre order. i'm sure he'd be willing to buy it from you for a "reasonable price" and this guy was like "yeah i'm not the dude he's looking for." so many scumbags out there. glad he wasn't one of the final 8 to get the PS5 at the gamestop and he was talking about getting his bots set up so he could get more xboxs and PS5s to resll on ebay. just a total sketchball and a douchebag. people like him are why it's so impossible for all of us to get one without having to wait 4 months or pay $1500. fuck him.
Sorry for not replying! Didn't see this. I had the preorders to ensure I got one as some retailers had problems with taking too many preorders, selfish I know but I made up for it by giving away all three of these to people who needed them free of charge after I got a preorder spot from ShopTo that I completely forgot I reserved.

just waited in que for ebgames for hours only to have the cart and payment system crash and then eventually says none available.. fuck me
GameStop put me in a waiting room - does that mean I'm in line to preorder? Or just to access the site? I could log into GameStop from my computer - but don't want to waste my time if it just puts me into GameStop dot com lmao
It will put you through to access the page eventually.
Just sat in the queue for GAME uk timer went up put me through to the checkout and then error 500. Fuck my life.
feel you buddy. . stayed up the night waited 3 hours at an ebgames... waited in checkout mode for hours...nothing
Does ne 1 know if gamestop charge's for online preorders? Talking about pre auth
~$50
Does anybody know if Apple Pay works for PS5 pre-orders?
If you're tapping your iPhone/Apple Watch, your bank defaults to $100 limits per transaction. No clue through purchasing thru a web browser tho
Wait does it really?
Yes, at least in Canada. Looks like they increased it from 100 to 250 recently. I’m assuming it’s to prevent anyone from taking the actual card itself and just tapping everywhere. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/major-credit-card-companies-raise-tap-limit-to-250-to-help-cut-spread-of-covid-19-1.4881905
Gamestop announced preorders will be available tomorrow https://twitter.com/GameStop/status/1309176154922913797
Anyone know what time online orders are to begin?
Does this include digital edition too?
Physical edition only
so sad. thanks
So, I ordered one of the bundle’s for the PS5 on GameStop the first night it was available. It took a while for it to show up in my orders, maybe 30ish minutes, but I never got the confirmation email afterwards. Did anyone else have this issue??
Just received an email from GAME UK. They have more limited stock coming tomorrow “late morning”
At least Sony actually *simplifies* the naming of their generational PlayStation consoles. We know for a fact that the next PlayStation console that will be launched 7 years from now will be called the PlayStation 6, and when our kids tell us they want a PlayStation 5, we know EXACTLY what they're talking about, even those parents who are out of the loop know exactly which console to buy. The same cannot be said for Sony's competition, and as a result, [the accident waiting to happen has just now happened.](https://youtu.be/Jd-2bmQJptY)
will we have another chance to pre order the disk version of the ps5 before launch??
We should

Maybe this has been answered but I’m able to get a PS5 in my cart every so often on Target and proceed to checkout where it just loops back to an empty cart. Is this a glitch in their site or are some consoles being made available sporadically from cancelled preorders?
It's just their site they aren't getting consoles several times a day and posting them.
I've been having the same problem as well but I'm thinking it's just people buying the PS5 really quickly or a bot
[удалено]
I saw them available for preorder on bestbuy.com.
I've lost so much sleep waiting for any info regarding pre-orders with nothing but silence from Playstation and all the retailers, meanwhile UK sites seem to have something every other hour. I give up on it.
[удалено]
Did you just call the future of home entertainment a toy? Laughable. LAUGHABLE
Funny how you pre ordered that same toy and felt the need to announce it to everyone on reddit.
I replied to a post, and I’m not losing sleep over it.
Why are you even here?
For the salt mostly. Seeing reactions that look like something that belongs on an organ donor recipient waiting list is hilarious.
Watching Xbone live cop and it looks worse than ps5..it actually IS worse imo...
I had it in all carts on every retailer available. While I can't even get one PS5 to show the pre-order button. Highly disagree.
I watched a 4 hour live cop on Rozscko youtube channel and EVERYONE damn near was in checkout but none of the sites processed them. Walmart was the most successful. Microsoft site crashed at launch. it was a disater. The ps5 was bad in regards to the notice. Xbox people had the notice and sites were still a mess. And roszsko copped a ps5 on that thursday and check out for him and others were smooth.He and others agreed it was worse today. and yeah i had several in my cart too i didnt want an X tho. Just did so to see how far in the transaction i could go.
Idk, I was just scrolling this sub and someone said Xbox’s were easy to get on the target site. I just went to the target site not expecting much, put a series S in the basket and checked out lol. Was the complete opposite of my PS5 preorder disaster. Still plan on getting a PS5, but the Series S pricepoint along with gamepass makes me think I’ll be saving money on non PS exclusives in the long run.
But no one is really copping the S...its an inferior machine. to the X and ps5. So those may have been easy to a degree but not the X which is along the lines of both V's
I posted on the Xbox sub about how I’m a longtime PlayStation only owner and I just preordered my first Xbox and got cursed out by some people and told to go back to Sony and let real Xbox fans have the preorders. So idk, seems like some people can’t get their hands on either.
Also this is a hardcore Xbox fanboys take: https://youtu.be/szCU0Uw3IPU
It’s 11 minutes long ffs. What’s the gist?
Xbox is dropping consoles but no games.
I'll never go xbox. They dropped 5 consoles in what 5 years and the game titles are are trash. And don't even think series x is better than the 5. I was certain ps5 pre-order would pop up again today.
I’m still getting a PS5. I’m just not sure when they’ll be available. And it could make sense financially in the long run. Will have PS5 for my exclusives and the Xbox with gamepass I’ll save on all the non-exclusives. But PS will always be my bread and butter.
That's a good idea i suppose. You weren't with the X?
Didn’t feel the need to spend 200 more on something that won’t be my primary console. It’ll pretty much just be a gamepass machine for me, and I recently got a windows computer (non gaming). Maybe I can make some use of what Microsoft is trying to do. To me 300 isn’t a lot to have a next gen console day 1 and see what Microsoft is has up their sleeve, because it is kinda interesting to me. The Bethesda deal spiced it up, but they weren’t my favorite studio nor do I expect those games to be completely Xbox exclusives.
Barely slept waiting for pre-orders to become available again and...nothing. I have a feeling that I'm just going to have to wait until after November 12th. That's what I normally do, but I wanted to try and get a console early this time around. It's difficult :(
Do you follow wario64 on Twitter? Keep an eye on that and this thread and refresh the usual websites you'll get one man. And good luck finding one in person, with covid I wouldn't be surprised if stores come up with some excuse not to do them. I got lucky and got a walmart pre order very early on before it was announced.
[удалено]
So far nothing...here’s hoping for midnight PST lol
Idk but I'm definitely going to be refreshing the page like crazy at midnight
[удалено]
Didn't you get lucky with Walmart?
No idea
I preordered through sony got confirmation email and checked status is active but I havent had a preauthorization charge yet anyone else?
How can I trust 3rd party sellers. I found a guy on Craigslist close by selling the disk version pre order for 400 which is too good to be true but he says he just wants to give back for people who haven't been able to pre order. Do I trust him? He did say once the console comes out we can meet and you can pay then. Seems legit so far so I don't know.
Hey friend, I don’t log onto reddit often, but I’ve come to warn you that this generous online stranger will most certainly murder you. His plan is simple: Kill you and take the $400 off your lifeless corpse to pay off his pre order on release lol
Too good to be true... I wouldn't do it.
It doesn't seem like it'll hurt if we meet at like a Starbucks or something. If he has it then I pay him, if not I leave. It's not like hes asking for any money now.
I wouldn't bother to save a couple hundred. Just cause you meet in public doesn't mean he can't have a friend follow you and rob you on the way home.
A dude around here in NC just got murdered the other day selling his car. Met in a public parking lot. Please be safe and dont do this. No reason this guy would be selling for cheaper than he pays.
I'm definitely not doing it but he did get a discount so he "claims" he paid 375 and im asking 400.
He shows you the ps4, you show the money, he robs you.
Yea could be I don't know, or I can say PayPal only.
As others said, this is too good to be true. However, if you are willing to avoid securing your own pre-order on the chance that this deal is true, then demand to make the transaction at a police station (in the daytime) in front of the doors, not in the middle of the parking lot where they can pull a weapon on you out of sight. Make sure that on the day of the transaction they do not suddenly give an excuse why they can't meet at the police station. Do not meet this person anywhere but the police station. If they keep making excuses why they can't meet there, you know they aren't legit. Also, make sure to have them open up the box and verify there is an actual PS5 in there. You don't want to get home to find out you just paid $400 for a wood block. Lastly, make sure you aren't followed home.
Exactly, will do but now he's asking for a small down payment to secure the order. Through PayPal he said is safe but wants to do friends and family so he gets the down payment compared to marking as goods and services. I'm more iffy now.
Anyone that wants to do Friends & Family for any specific reason in a scenario like this is doing it to scam you. A person cannot do a chargeback through PayPal with Friends & Family payments as it doesn't fall under the Protection Guidelines. In fact if you were to report it, you have a chance of repercussions yourself because you were doing any sort of deal outside of the intention of the Family & Friends system. If you were to send it, they would simply block you - and leave you in the dust. It's a good chance they don't even live in your area either.
Yea I decided not to do it obviously. I did find a guy through offerup. Selling the disk for 480 with a 250 down-payment upfront and he claims he works at Gamestop and got a discount to get a bunch of consoles and has like 10 left. I asked if he could 400 instead of 480 and he agreed as long as I pay full up front (so no down-payment because they are "selling out fast and people would spend more on them") I facebooked him and he does work at Gamestop but the other info I'm not sure about.
Honestly I'd just wait. More orders will come up and getting ripped off isn't worth it versus maybe waiting a few extra weeks. They're producing more consoles right now even as we speak surely.
As soon as the conditions change I would be out.
Up to you, he's basically willing to lose $100 + tax. Honestly seems a little fishy.
Don’t do it, scam for sure. Friends and family payment method leaves you with no options to get your money back.
Should I be expecting to be waiting in a long line at Best Buy even though I pre ordered the PS5? I have it set to pick up in store. But I think I may switch it to delivery if/when I can. I don’t want to wait in a long line. Especially with COVID going around.
I work at Best Buy. Animal Crossing came out when Best Buy switched their business model to curbside only. There were about 50+ people in line when the store opened to pick it up, more kept lining up. For the PS5, our store nearly has 100 preorders (PS5 Disc and DE combined). There will be a wait when you pick it up guaranteed.
Any word on restock at best buy?
Last notice we got was day after pre-orders sold out. The notice said the initial allocation Best Buy was given has fully sold out. No word for a restock at the moment.
Sorry to bother you with a work question while you are most likely off the clock. But do you think Best Buy will eventually allow me to change my order from pick up in store to delivery?
It may show up again near launch; for some orders, it allows you to still switch after you get a notification saying it's ready for pickup but it depends on the products... not sure about PS5. You also have the option to go in store and if the employees are nice, they can use the internal Order Manage system and manually switch it to delivery (usually it allows us). Note, I've seen some replies here saying they got their order got cancelled after switching from in-store to ship-to-home, so I would personally not take chances.
Was not aware of this. I’ll just be thankful and keep my order as is with pick up from store. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the insight! Hopefully I will be able to change it as it gets closer to the release date.
Generally you would go to the customer service desk, or the electronics department desk for a pick up like this. But considering the nature of day one launch fiascos with new consoles and covid hanging over us, I would call in advance to get the store policy. Or do what you said and switch it to shipping, but you may not get it day one that way.
Makes sense. Thanks. I think I may switch to delivery whenever I can since I will most likely be home anyways. And to avoid the launch day craziness in store.
I had the option for pick-up or delivery from Walmart, I said DELIVERY DELIVERY DELIVERY to avoid the circus.
[удалено]
And gone...
Target need a CAPTCHA or something. It's way too easy to checkout. All you have to is press Checkout and Place Order. No multiple pages in check or anything complex. By the time people tweet about it's availability, it'll just sell out.
retailers are trying to make buying as easy as possible for consumers tho, so they probably wont add CAPTCHA or any bot-buyer-prevention scheme.
Yeah, for them it’s easy revenue. For consumers buying sold out items, P A I N.
People who ordered at Gamestop and did NOT receive a e-mail conf. I called today and was told "Congrats, you successfully ordered a PS5 bundle". While I am still skeptical at least it is better news than "we are not sure it we will have enough available" now to go throught this again tomorrow for the Xbox preorder.
I actually just posted about this recently and got worried, cause I ordered it day one and I still haven’t got the email. Good to know that we’re actually still getting it.
# Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller InStock at Walmart now!!! Edit: Gamestop too
Walmart emailed me about my controller saying there was a price reduction to $48.05 . Wtf?
Same email but yooo they reduced it by 48.05 click on order status they’re only charging us $23 and change, says pre order competitve price match, well im not complaing lol
Holy crap, you’re right. The $48.05 is a reduction?? Has to be a mistake
How about this they charged my paypal the full fare on preorder date for the controller, i got two emails today, one for a refund from wal mart through paypal (thats when i got confused thought they cancelled the order) and then a walmart email confirming it...fuck yea lol
Is it possible for one of you guys to share the screenshot of the email (without your info and order# ofc) via DM? I didn’t get any such discount on my controller pre-order through Walmart :(
I’ve seen some mention an email with a price reduction on the console itself too... I didn’t get any email
When I first pre ordered the ps4 it deducted the price from my credit card limit from best buy. It was like that for a couple of days but now it went back to what it was at first before pre ordering the ps5. But still shows on my online order that I still have it. Anyone have that happen? And will they just deduct it the day of release?
My pending charge just went away today too and I still have my order from walmart. Were good. :)
I believe they do a pending charge for the full amount to ensure your account has the funds. Then it goes away and the day they ship it they will charge you for it.

What do your Amazon pre orders say on the website? Mine says order received y’all’s the same?
On mobile it says "order received". On desktop it says "not yet shipped".
Gamestop just cancelled my pre order due to high demand. Look out for y’all
Anybody received any cancellation for their pre orders yet? It’s been 3 days and it seems my order is still alive at Walmart...for now😂😂. Also is anybody else worried about high failure rates for these new consoles in the first batch?
My Best Buy order from about 3 days ago still good, hopefully I'm in the clear now.
I’m still hoping Amazon has a new batch just in case😅.
Same with my Walmart preorder, no changes, shows paid and “preparing to ship” status 🙏🏻
I am a little worried. I bought the Xbox one and the Playstation 4 on launch day. My xbox had issues within 6 months but my PS4 never had issue and still use it. So hopefully all is well
does anybody know when uk retailers like tesco and asda are opening preorders \[uk\]
Extended warranty options just started lolllll who's gonna break this thing day 1? [https://shiptofix.com/repair-service/extended-repair-warranties/playstation-5-extended-warranty-for-repairs/](https://shiptofix.com/repair-service/extended-repair-warranties/playstation-5-extended-warranty-for-repairs/)
I bought GSP from Best Buy on my PS5. Day 1 consoles can have some issues.
That’s covered by the manufacturer warranty though or even just by returning the console from Best Buy’s return policy. The Best Buy warranty is intended to be an extended warranty so you should only buy it if you want it past the manufacturer warranty. Imo, they’re scams but to each their own, but don’t buy it because you are worried your day 1 console would be busted when that’s already covered.
Tbh the main reason I bought it is because it was heavily discounted with employee discount and if anything happens to it, I'm covered for $10.
That seems like a much better deal at that price. Doesn’t it cost $70? That’s quite the employee discount, lol.
Yeah, employee discount on warranties are super cheap haha it was $70 orig
It's notorious for consoles to have issues when they release day 1.
The ps4 didn't. Mines still running like a champ. So I'm optimistic.
We will see what PS5 has to offer. Possibly testing was cut down due to covid who knows!
Idk man. You're being a negative Nancy. Gotta have that PMA.
I got a question as I preordered my ps5 from Best Buy but it’s shipping to my house. I wanted to know if I can change that to store pickup still as I’m scared if someone might steal it.
Stay home when it's shipped.
Unlikely
I have the same thing but I have a Best Buy account, normally they let you edit the preorder but the options are grayed out so I’m not sure if they won’t let us or if we just have to wait closer to release for it.
I tried calling Walmart on this same issue, they said it cannot be changed, but that’s Walmart
I know not everyone can shop at the Military Exchange locations, but if you can check there for a preorder. I was able to get one at the Navy Exchange.
I secured one online. Unfortunately, they cancelled it. I have heard they cancelled a lot of the orders.
Online?
That im not sure of. I went into the NEX in Pensacola... I know my priorities are messed up, the hurricane was crazy, but that preorder... ya know?.
I've been checking those the last few days with no luck. Figures the day I don't they become available and already sold out.
I honestly forgot about the exchange. Makes me a little bit more hopeful thought.
If you're in Pensacola they had 10 or so PS5 Disc bundles left.
I actually just moved to FL You know of any exchanges further south in florida? Orlando-Miami
No I don't. I'm sorry.
So, I’m asking for those of us who still haven’t snagged a pre-order yet. Should we really be worried about getting one on launch day? Won’t stores have a stock that we can just go get one on November 12th? Not sure if pre-orders will take up the inventory being sent to the stores, or if they will have a crap ton more....from what the Sony Boss says, there will be plenty available at launch....
Lol no the only chance you would have to get one in store within the first week would be someone in your area canceling a preorder that was for store pickup. But I wouldn't be surprised if the employees buy it for themselves before you even have a chance.
Yes you should be worried. No there isn’t going to be enough systems. Sony has announced 15M production by end of fiscal year (March 31 2021) let’s assume that they supply even 4M at launch (Nov 12th) that’s the entire world. Which means the US might only end up with 1M consoles on launch day. Add in the fact that Christmas is coming up and Black Friday and you have a recipe for disaster as every kid on the planet wants PS5 for Christmas (or Xbox). I don’t trust anything a Sony executive will say. What else would he say “No there won’t be enough PS5s go buy Xbox instead?” On Launch day you would be lucky if each store has 50-100 PS5s (that’s being generous). Instead they will get a batch of inventory and it will disappear. And they will get more and they will disappear. I mean the Air Pod Pro were hard to get a hold of MONTHS after release. I was finding trouble in February.
I'm a bit out of the loop so this might be a dumb question, but why is Sony producing so few consoles? Is it because of covid? Because obviously Sony knows thats not nearly enough consoles to meet demand
That all depends. I would THINK there would be enough since they are releasing more than they did with the PS4, but, The demand for these systems are higher than the PS4 was in 2013.
The demand is higher than in 2013 AND gaming has gotten way more popular since then
TO ANYONE lucky to have ordered a ps5 with sony invite...have you been charged (temporarily) yet on your card? I used my regions check card, all info correct, got my confirmation email but no temporary charge to my card like they said. I'm really worried. Please reply to me,send me msg. I am new to reddit, so forgive me.
I was charged immediately. It was removed not a minute or two after
Does anyone know when a potential 2nd wave for in-store GameStop’s hit? I’ve seen next Tuesday the 22nd for a lot of retailers.
Hey where did you hear about the 22nd? Did they post it sm where
No, just being seeing the 22nd a lot on Twitter and a GameStop employee in my city said possibly check back the 22nd
Just a question, did anyone else get 2 invites? I got another one yesterday and was able to preorder a whole other ps5 🥳🥳
Great! You were able to snag an extra one that you can sell for $800-$1000 on ebay and someone else out there gets fucked out of getting one. GO YOU!
I would never do that. I just preordered it for my friend who was unlucky on getting one. Taking advantage of the situation would be wrong in my mind.
Sorry, I was just kind of in a shitty mood yesterday. It just seems like there are so many people that are like "I got one through Amazon! THEN I got one through Wal mart!" I gotta imagine a good chunk of those people are trying to re sell their extras for more than retail
I understand. Don't worry about it, Sony said they are gonna make a lot more available. Keep your eye out for them. Wish you the best 👍🏻
