PlayStation 5 Pro

I got on about 10.30am after being in a queue from 8.30am this morning.
The 30th Pro bundle was sold out then, I ordered a 30th edition dualsense.
I was tempted by the pro 30th edition but not at £959, not that I could have bought it anyway!

With these sought after anniversary models it really should be a lottery system, less chance of them going to scalpers then.

They should only be available on your PS5 (or current console) to account holders that have been there since day 1, that’ll screw scalpers up without their PC’s and bot networks.

It's all pretty much as expected, the Anniversary Bundle is the key driver due to the limited numbers and obvious value return, not helped in the slightest by gatekeeping it via PS Direct. Demand for the regular Pro is fairly soft as expected, anyone aiming for that one seems unlikely to be disappointed by their chances.

Not sure how you're able to fathom that. I've been able to pre-order one now, but it took 90 minutes to do so.

Did you get any indication of a delivery date when you placed your pre-order MartyG?

I think everyone’s is saying launch day Nov 7th, just got my confirmation email and that’s what it says.

Good job on snagging one guys!

Nothing I'd regard as concrete - it says "release day" but there's an asterix against it and then a whole load of caveats.

It's available to order in numerous countries now, the only ones where the level if difficulty seen here seems to be those where PS Direct is involved. The Regular Pro is still available to preorder on most third party sites nearing up to now 12 hours from going live.

The difficulty here and in America in getting through is down to their site throttling traffic access. Even then, it's been two hours and Pro is still available on the UK site. The whole debacle sucks for those hoping to get the Anniversary Bundle, it's genuinely poorly handled. If you're after a regular model though there's no sign you won't be able to get one, especially when third party store pre-orders go live on 10 October.

Despite the device being useless to me, I actually really like the look of the anniversary edition.

I'd been thinking about buying a Portal recently, so yeah, forgetting this was happening today and logging in casually around half eleven to buy a PS1-themed one works out ok for me. Grats to those of you who got what you were after, but sorry to hear it was the expected chaos for most folks who wanted some of the nicer goodies.

[MartyG]

I can get into the store without a queue now, stands and drives are all sold out though.

[fishbowlhead]

Just went straight into the store no que.
