And the annoying thing is that you know it will work and people will still buy them, just continuing the cycle of scalpers. As mad as I am right now, I'd rather wait and get one legit than pay some insane price to support a ****ty practice.

Yeah f*** those scalpers.

I honestly cannot believe I got one. I collect a few figure lines, and I am used to the lightning fast preorder window that is almost entirely bought out by scalpers. When I saw the Gamestop site crashed and that Walmart had no listing anymore, I thought I was SOL, lol! I am never this lucky

Getting ready to refresh Amazon at midnight and hope for the best like

ALREADY UP AND ALREADY SOLD OUT ON AMAZON ****

ALREADY UP AND ALREADY SOLD OUT ON AMAZON ****

Are you sure it's actually sold out? the listing I see on Amazon doesn't show a price or even lead to an actual page yet.

At least here in NA, it is sold out. They went live around 11:45/11:50 I guess and sold out almost immediately, I saw quite a few people saying they managed to get one, so it was definitely up. (Even saw some idiot on Reddit saying he bought 8 of them). They took the product page down when it sold out.

I actually have one in my cart right now on Best Buy but I think I'm screwed because I'm getting errors when I try to check out.

So Best Buy just stopped working...

I've legit been sitting here spamming the 'Place Your Order' button for like 45 minutes hoping to eventually get lucky. It got as far as letting me sign back in to PayPal and loading like it was gonna work before it froze up and quit and sent me back to the other page to spam the button. I'm getting ready to give up though, this is so frustrating.

 

[Superhero 101]

Anyone able to preorder one? This is so frustrating mad at retailers and Sony for not clarifying the preorder process

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Amazon page is up

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FC5L3RG

I'm probably just going to get an RTX 3080 today and wait until Sony announces mY GODDAMN SILENT HILL GAME

 

[Daltonio]

The way this whole thing was handled was a complete ****show. Screw Sony and screw the retailers.

I'm done for the night.

I'm sorry Daltonio. This is some legit BS.

 

[Silvermoth]

Well I’m excited. I will say, I reckon Xbox put up much more of a fight next gen than this gen. They really buggered their premiere last time but competition is good!

can’t wait to see it in action

 

[Daltonio]

YOOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Decided to check the PS5 subreddit one last time and saw a few people saying that the Best Buy app finally let their orders through, decided to try my luck and after a couple minutes of spamming the button, it went through! I'm still a little worried they could cancel it since like I said, it randomly let quite a few people order it after so long but hey, they already charged my account and I got the confirmation email! Let's see what happens!

EDIT: Yeaaaaah it looks like it's working for a lot of people now so I'm majorly suspicious haha

 

[Daltonio]

I'm sorry Daltonio. This is some legit BS.

Thanks, it really is a mess though. From what I've been reading, Walmart decided to open pre-orders a day early and all the other retailers just decided to follow their lead and manage to screw everything up. Nobody was prepared.

[X Knight]

Hopefully, my order will stick. so far so good. fingers crossed.

Congrats to anyone who was able to preorder. what a ******* marathon and a mess. ugh.

 

[KillerMcQueen]
