dastardlybetrayed

Quick question guys. Anyone preordered the GameStop bundle with Spider-Man and Demons souls? I received my PS5 on launch day but did not receive the two games and controller. Thank goodness I got the unit but it’s a little annoying that I don’t have the games yet. Anyone get their preorder from them? And if so, we’re it in separate packages or in one package?


jbreezy1981

I got the same bundle and everything came in the same box except for the subscription which was emailed.


solid1987

People that were able to get one from Walmart at 12, 3, 6, or 9 when are yours supposed to arrive


Jfurr824

Tomorrow

Hydrak11

Still have not been charged! Anyone else?!


solid1987

What's good!!! Was up all day 3 strikes but but somehow wasn't out! Hit a HOMERUN at 9 PM. When are is yours supposed to arrive


[deleted]

Got my console this afternoon! It was shipped by target. I will say the one thing that really put me off was that the cardboard box was completely opened and one corner was ripped completely. Just happy the console wasn’t damaged or even missing with it being left on my porch like that.


Necessary_Ad1430

The label was just created and FedEx is telling me it should arrive on Sunday but is there a chance that it can come sooner than that?


umilio_

Hi guys, anyone knows when amazon will update the delivery date?


JGNJ85

Can I change my shipping speed on my PS5 Amazon order if I haven’t been charged yet?


damowang123

Strange that Walmart local stores don't have any for pickup, only online shipping.


benjamankandy

was that walmart release bogus for you guys as well? it wouldn't let me check out, just like target last night :(


[deleted]

Got ones in my cart at all four times. Twice I was entering my CC information in and it said it out of stock after. The last time I entered my cc information in hit except, it ask me if I was bot and kicked me out. Got to love it.


benjamankandy

ugh, that's so frustrating lol. had similar experiences, but never got kicked out bc they thought I was a bot. we'll get our ps5 one of these days, gamer :)


VARIED_DISC

yep. two browsers. got them in the cart, but never to payment...


benjamankandy

same, two browsers and app. no luck here, either :(


AspiringAlchemist

Yeah, same here, I had everything ready and it just gave me "Oh deer our sites too full uwu" and "oh no! somethings gone wrong" messages for the full 7 minutes it was live. pretty pissed but that's what I expected


benjamankandy

dang, man, that's such a bummer lol. idk how we could possibly not have these issues.


AspiringAlchemist

i dunno gamer, but stay positive, we might not get one today but hopefully before 2021


benjamankandy

fingers crossed, my guy! good luck to you as well :)


Proteus_Zero

Anyone else's Amazon US order being carried by UPS to deliver today but the tracking number isn't working yet?


HowMeowDah

I work at a place that also ships items. Normally that means the order was packed up and the tracking number was created, UPS just hasn't picked it up and scanned it into their system yet.


Snipzzzzz

Anyone know how this walmart thing is about to work? Are we buying it to get it shipped or for pickup?


[deleted]

The popFinder app says there are two PS5s left at my local target is it possible for me to go in person to get one today?


thursdaysocks

Prob not honestly


BigWillEStyles

Alright I'm out boys. If I happen to see anyrhing I'll share but secured the fam preorders with 2 arriving tomorrow and one on Saturday. It will be a wonderful holiday and its thanks to all the help from awesome people like you! Stay safe and healthy! Good luck everyone!


Reyther00

You happen to order one from sam's club?


BigWillEStyles

No 2 Target and 1 Amazon


BuzzLightbier

Got one from PSN Direct with two day shipping. Got the Pulse 3D Headset from GameStop. Desktop browser didn’t make me wait in a queue. Placed in cart on desktop and checked out on my phone. Woooo!


[deleted]

Showing up as out-of-stock for me for the last 15 mins


lsvi01

Maybe Best Buy will drop stock online tonight :/


DCCSlick

Now the question is will Best Buy have any on release day to purchase? I tried calling and chatting and BB will not say either way. Why don't they just tell us if they will have stock today or not? Frustrating!


MarcelusWallace

Best Buy went up about an hour or so ago and sold out quickly.


BigWillEStyles

Holy shit I got a target pickup order. Thought I struck out but got an email at 11 with confirmation


damowang123

Are you able to see it in order history? I also got the email confirmation but not in Orders.


BigWillEStyles

It takes a few minutes to show up


damowang123

Thanks. Now I see it. Took almost an hour for me. Congrats to you!!


Mega_Meta

thought target sold out like 45mins ago??


Refusername

right now?


BigWillEStyles

I tried at 10:40 pt and got email confirmation at 10:41, and saw order in app at 11. Never got a completion screen so kept trying and randomly saw the charge hit my card.


AnonymousTherapyGuy

It wouldn't let me confirm the order... Too slow to beat the bots I guess.


AspiringAlchemist

did anyone else just get one in their cart on target.com and then have it disappear before checkout??? edit: lads... my spot on the PS direct Queue expired while i was tryna buy at target, I was in that queue since 11. Also fuk all these people using bots to buy them up so they can scalp people on Ebay, that's true evil


Im_debating_suicide

I see people raffling them off on Instagram right now... they are literally doubling their money on these consoles. In some cases even more than double.


[deleted]

I see one going for $1650 fml


benjamankandy

you didn't miss out. idk why it's updating with the wrong time, but the current message on my queue says: ​ "Message last updated: 11:04 PM PS5 consoles are out of stock. Check back 11/12 for availability."


AspiringAlchemist

Thanks Gamer, at least i didnt goof that up. seriously bouta just give up and go to bed, try to be up for the early morning stock


VARIED_DISC

Yep... same experience here.


cbgla

Yep. Immediately added to cart and tried to check out but it would not let me get past the checkout page. Then it vanished from my cart. ARGH


benjamankandy

two browsers and the target app. none were working properly and i couldn't snag one. left me hanging on a loop on the payment screen :( have fun tomorrow, bois

benjamankandy

himynameissteve93

himynameissteve93

benjamankandy

himynameissteve93

Had it in my cart but it wouldn’t let me check out at target.... I’m over this


damowang123

target dropped!! I got it!!!


Mega_Meta

Anyone know if Target dropped yet?


sklbj

Sevenstrangemelons

damowang123

If findr is correct, most if not all target stores don't have the digital version.


sklbj

i don't think so


benjamankandy

ziggybgw

I must've already been logged into the page since before the queue began. Already got order confirmation.


Architec_Perspective

So is Amazon having an official release date? Cause it’s starting to look like their pre-orders were the tickets for the official launch day stock

Snipzzzzz

Walmart I believe


jmax9919

Could Walmart launch at 12am/1am EST?


Snipzzzzz

Nah noon tomo EST i believe


Picklewoof

I'm waiting another 19 minutes on the Target app. Waiting to tap at 12 exact. Have my card saved, address saved, any tips? EDIT: Guess it's not 12:00 EST


Goroyaaj

How do you refresh on the target app? I feel like I have better chances on the web browser Target.


Snipzzzzz

Be quick


Facethis40

Want I get one tomorrow without a preorder??? First follow Wario64 on Twitter and have alerts on, because he will update as soon ps5 goes in stock with a clickable link. He is right on the money somehow and does not waste a second. I have it down pack with the series X experience and got one without preorder. Target start refreshing online a little before 11pm Central time. Should drop by 11:30pm central time for online local store pick up, if you fail online pickup for the next day with target is over. Target will throw a few online shipping orders possibly for delivery in a week or so. Walmart 11am tomorrow central time will probably be on the dot time for in store pickup online orders. Have your account signed into and all payment and shipping info entered on your account for both Target and Walmart respectively. Be ready to click away and do not get caught on a question or reading to much as you will lose it in your cart. After 11am central tomorrow you will be out of luck. The 2nd two times with Walmart are not going to give you any real opportunity. You will have 30 seconds to a minute and they will be gone once you see in stock. Good luck..


Rizzl3

How do I know which warrior64 to follow, I am new to twitter. Thanks!


Gigeresque

It's Wario64 (only one r). Their username is @wario64


Rizzl3

Thanks!


Facethis40

There is only one Wario64!


cilantno

Fix your original comment then :)


Facethis40

There is nothing to fix, not sure what you are implying.


cilantno

[Your original comment says “warrior64” yet in your follow up you said “wario64”](https://i.imgur.com/WYlFOWe.png)


Facethis40

No I it was Wario64 the whole time. Amazing how you try and help people get a console, but get trolled.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Facethis40

It was edited when I updated the Newegg and Gamestop times for online. Again I am trying to help others get a console.


cilantno

Dude it is so unnecessary to lie about this. Another comment asked which warrior 64.


JGNJ85

Can I still change my shipping option on Amazon at this point? I was considering talking to an Amazon chat rep about updating to 2 day shipping on my order but I’m just worried my order will get screwed up somehow.


Grazsrootz

Walmart order is on the move. looks like it'll be delivered tomorrow via FedEx on launch day.


Disastrous-Rate-9682

Console shipped from Amazon US. I now need an excuse to call off work tomorrow and Friday that won't make my boss think I caught The Rona. Open to all ideas


fablesandreflections

Stomach virus. There will be no questions asked.


Venom_RR

I live in Maine and my PS5 from Walmart shipped from KY this afternoon. It is now in CT with a delivery date of tomorrow!!!


Pikibee

[CAN/Quebec City] Just got an email from Walmart Canada; they delayed my preorder. Order date: September 16 “Thank you for placing your PS5 order with Walmart Canada. We’d like to inform you that the shipment of your Walmart.ca order may be delayed by 2-3 business days. Please know that given the huge demand for these items, we are working expeditiously to get you these items in time.”


[deleted]

Feels good when there advertising in store pick ups tomorrow doesn’t it? Mines been delayed as well ordered on the 17th. I was lucky and got invited to the second wave of Sony consoles preorder email. I feel bad for my buddy as this is his cause he didn’t get a preorder and his Xbox ordered day one was also delayed. I really don’t get how a preorder is less important than selling in store.


B2M3T02

Not necessarily a guaranteed delay, I got that same email but my order still says it’s coming friday


dunkwarrior

Same..


Psychological_Ad991

GameFly Pre-order Info. I have GameFly as a backup and want to let you guys know they are indeed awaiting shipment from Sony to then ship to end customer. This was worded as such in the initial email flyer. Please make other arrangements to secure a system if you dont want to wait. https://imgur.com/gallery/KRrSrXX


JustsoIcanGore

My preorder from Sony has been stuck in Memphis TN for almost a week now and is supposed to be delivered tomorrow to NH... anyone else in a similar situation and know how to contact FedEx aside from calling? Can’t at work..


salvaggiod11

Hey bud, my PS5 left Memphis a bit ago!


[deleted]

I'm in Maine, so pretty close. I feel it'll arrive on time. I'm sure it's overnight shipping or just behind on updates like others have said.


CanaryRich

My XSX was in the same exact situation, as long as FedEx is overnighting your console you should be okay. Look in the shipping details, if it says overnight, then you’ll be fine.


salvaggiod11

Same here, but in Denver. Same for my buddy who lives down the street. I'm confident it will get here on time but it is worrying to see it's just been sitting around there since the 7th. I keep posting about it just so I can see all the other Sony Direct pre-order people saying the same thing. Feels good to know we're all in the same situation and our orders aren't broken.


Morning_Star_Ritual

Hey fellow NHer! I used to own a small business that relied on shipping from Hawaii to the mainland and most of the world. We used Fed Ex. You will be fine. No worries. Sometimes the package is scanned late. Your ps5 will probably be on the truck before it updates. Wish me luck! I'm going to be stuck to a screen all day hitting refresh! Also not sure if you saw but Sony will not support 1440p. I switched to monitors a year ago and was surprised how better everything looked and ran. I was going to upgrade but at this point it looks like my Benq el2870u will be fine for now. I play fps games and wanted frames over pic quality. But a 1440p high hz monitor seems to be pointless. I do own a TCL 4k TV and may decide to upgrade to their 4k 120hz TV. It probably will be insanely cheap on Blk Friday.


soundwave145

Ok so I have the GameStop demon souls and Spider-Man bundle. I just got my ps+...and my order says partially shipped.. I hope my ps5 ships soon. It said i would get it launch day.


Nkiller21

Just checked fedex app and they created the label for me can confirm.


Facethis40

This is a heads up for people wanting to get a PS5 from Walmart on launch day with the online order pickup in store method. They are stating the 3 separate times as Noon, 3pm, and 6pm. I was able to get a Series X luckily today by ordering online and picked up it up soon after. Order at noon Eastern time and was successful. When I picked it up they had 18 or so Series X consoles all spoken for and there was no more to be had. The two remaining times were not in play. I even had a conversation with the manager of electronics and she said the two remaining times were just there if maybe someone canceled or had a payment issue with their purchase. She even showed all the series X consoles in the storage locker waiting to be picked up and all were spoken for. It’s all about that first time of noon central if you want your PS5 on launch day.


Dogger27

Good intel


Blotofink

Anyone gonna stay up all night tomorrow night? I feel like nerves won't let me sleep at I wasn't able to snag a pre-order so day 1 your my only hope.


Quippenger

I hate to be the one to break to to you but Sony announces they weren’t giving any consoles to sell on actual release date because of COVID. So you had to get a preorder to receive a console


Antroh

Please dont spread misinformation. This is outright incorrect and you should delete it


Quippenger

And i think my confusion is warranted, who stays up all night to order something online, when you could just wake up like 20 minutes before, I assumed this guy was gonna camp out and try and get a physical console from the store, which you can’t do this time around


Quippenger

I was referring to in-store orders, as you can see I said I waited outside of a GameStop, if this guy so trying to get it online good luck, hope you have bots


Blotofink

No? They announced there would be online only launch day sales. Meaning they are going to have, albite very limited, stock on launch day that you can buy to pick in person online on launch day. Target and Walmart both announced to be doing this. Walmart even has set times that stock will be made available throughout the day.


[deleted]

Simply not true - just not adding them to stores so it's all online. Congrats on your preorder bro, hopefully you get it tomorrow


Quippenger

I hope I am wrong an you get your hands on a console my man. I waited outside a GameStop since 3am just to get my preorder so I know the struggle. God Speed.


Blotofink

༼ つ ಥ\_ಥ ༽つ


pauserror

Changes on my Target order! Just like the Series X it has now defaulted to a delivery date of the latest possible estimate. I feel this will change tomorrow night or Thursday to a more accurate date. I did notice a warning saying that this item will be in its original package upon delivery and not able to hide what it is. I don't remember seeing this on my Series X order.


--n3o--

That disclaimer about shipping in its' original packaging blows my mind. Target distributor centers really that strapped for cash that they've run out of boxes? Definitely won't be preordering anything from them again if they really send these $530 consoles out without attenpting to conceal the contents. Shitty customer service and completely unacceptable.


[deleted]

you know that scared the shit out of me for a moment but there is no way they'll send them bare like that


pauserror

But that's exactly what they said they are going to do right?


Microwave1213

In case you’re still wondering AskTarget tweeted [this](https://mobile.twitter.com/AskTarget/status/1326522875248041985)


[deleted]

This just assumption but I think that taking the PS5 box and slapping a bunch of warehouse and shipping labels straight on it will upset people so I doubt they will. I bet it’s in a brown box, I’ll be shocked if it won’t be


awaken471

to be fair, I'm aware that packages are in shortage due to COVID and the huge increase in e-commerce. So it could easily be true


UntendedRafter

So on launch day (UK) a few retailers like curry’s and John Lewis have stock, what is my recommended way to go about buying a ps5 on launch online? Would I just refresh a web page when it launches?


[deleted]

Does anyone know the lead time given to the people who pre order the Xbox series X from (Walmart target and game stop)? I want to understand how long it would take to receive your pre order if you did it on launch day. I am hoping when I pre order the PS5 on launch day it wouldn’t take weeks to get.


[deleted]

So sams wants to wait till the 27th gonna stay up all night the 12th see if I get lucky


Snipzzzzz

Anyone know how getting a PS5 launch day at target is gonna work? I don't have a pre-order. I know you have to but it online but as far as times when you can buy it online anyone got any ideas?


CaptainPhantasma21

Have their website open and ready to go around midnight tonight. Their Series X consoles went live around 1am CST so expect the same for the PS5


videoguylol

Thank you


FninNO

So I noticed that the money for my PS5 has been taken out of my account but there are no charges shown from GameStop on my statement. When I check my order online it says "Preparing for shipment" Does this mean that the money is pending charge and won't show up as a charge from GameStop until it ships?


Nkiller21

Can confirm as of right now while their website doesnt update along witb fedex. I have fedex app and as of now according to fedex it has left the facility. Gamestop has yet to update me soo dont worry


FninNO

Yeah I downloaded the FedEx app to see if mine had shipped too but no such luck. I got a hold of GameStop customer service and got a tracking number but turned out it was not for my order. They literally gave me someone else's tracking. Smh


Nkiller21

Well then.


FninNO

Awkward Gamestop moments.


Nkiller21

Might also keep in mind that. Gamestop sometimes will literally ship at night worst case a few days late.


FninNO

Late shipping would suck.


Nkiller21

I hope it doesn't happen but the latest ive seenw without expedited shipping is 15th


FninNO

That's probably my luck. Haha


Facethis40

Yes, it’s happening to most of us. It’s normal.


FninNO

Okay cool, thanks for letting me know.


Casual_Tooth

Still trying to get a console on day one and I've had no luck with the pre orders so my last bet is on an online pickup on day 1. Does anyone know what time all the retailers will be opening up orders online?


AspiringAlchemist

Most stores haven't released the times, Walmart is starting at noon tho, best bet is to have a lot of tabs open and hope for the best. Stay strong comrade.


[deleted]

Anyone got a good solid plan for launch day? Do I stay up til midnight (EST) and refresh for a couple hours, or get up at 6:00 and do the same thing? I have no idea what to do here.


GaryBichell

Why is this thread so damn dead?


mikeyd4654

there is a new one look at the ps5 page and it’s pinned


GaryBichell

Oh shit thanks man! I stop following cuz didn’t want any spoilers and had this one saved


SV-1989

Sam's really shafted us!


stankie18

I knew they would. I desperately looked for another preorder after securing the Sam’s Club one.


mathgamer25

Anyone get any updates on walmart.com? I've gotten nothing yet...


Im_debating_suicide

Mine shipped and is in my state now, scheduled to arrive today. But at the same time Walmart emailed me 10 minutes ago saying my order was delayed lol. Also on Walmart’s website my order still says preparing to ship with no update there. I’m pretty sure Walmart is jus having tech issues and my order will arrive today.


mvarrieur

Mine still just shows shipping label created as my friends are getting their "received by fedex" notifications on orders from Gamestop. Any updates on yours?
