Bestbuy (US) worked for me (confirmed order and pending charge on CC) about 10-15 minutes ago.

Best Buy only has the disk version at this point. I’m curious what numbers Sony published to their distributors and what demand was for disk and diskless. I guess we’ll find out eventually.

Someone earlier said a fair bit less digital were going out.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I’m up at 1am because I work night shift and just preordered the PS5 disc version, remote control, and headset from Best Buy for store pickup. Seemed to work easy. Honestly kind of can’t believe I’m doing this. I’ve never ordered a console on release day before. But I watched that reveal on YouTube earlier and fml, demon souls, a new god of war?? I know the last 5 years or so I’ve been all Xbox all the way and I always felt like I was missing out on the ps exclusives, and since purchasing a PS4 pro a few months back I’ve had some of the best gaming experiences ever. I mean, you all got me through Bloodborne! And the last of us and uncharted series.. oh man.

So Best Buy seems super easy at the moment. You're all sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and preorder a few consoles. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what playstation owners do! You'll get used to it...

One question I have is, and I’m sorry I’m sure this was answered in the 1500 posts since this morning but, which version of a game do I buy now? When cyberpunk or watch dogs legion comes out do I buy the ps5 version or PS4 version?

These are all reporting sold out now. And every single peripheral :o



This is almost a Saturn like reveal but instead of consoles available NOW it is preorders NOW.
Also people are actually going for it.

It is wild how bad and mixed messaging has been all over the place, but a testament to just how well the PS4 has done that people are still sticking with it.

If it's Cyberpunk, buy whichever and they'll upgrade you for free sometime next year (undetermined). If it's Watchdogs, they'll also hook you up but haven't said when but it's not likely to be long.

I'm in no real hurry to get a PS5 until Forbidden West comes out, no real compelling launch games except Demon Souls which can wait. Instead I'll be refreshing at least half a dozen GPU store pages to buy one of the 12 RTX 3080s in existence today.

Maybe it’s best to just wait until the ps5 is out to play these next generation games. Why play half of it on a PS4. The graphics are so much the experience!

What’s the downside of keeping both pre-orders to ensure that you don’t get hosed? You may have to end up returning one at nearly zero loss to yourself? Being less $500 in your bank account for a few days?

Better yet, consider that $500 preorder as an investment into banking with Best Buy.

:lol: I got one at Target, freaked out that Target may cancel my order because they've pulled that before with console launches, so I pre-ordered a crappy bundle at Gamestop as an insurance policy, but now I've been able to get a Best Buy pre-order.

I'm gonna cancel the GS bundle, and if two consoles show up at my house, my brother is just going to buy the second one from me for MSRP.

I interviewed for the team that made that Best Buy site. I do not envy the on-call SREs today as five million hyperventilating nerds simultaneously try over and over and circuit breakers get tripped in order to keep the rest of the site afloat.

The galaxy brain move here would be to buy a PS5 pre-order at 1500 and to resell it at 3000.
