The new Hogwarts RPG is cool because its a massive world that fully recreates Hogwarts, and doesn't appear to tie into any of the stupid rear end characters from the books. Its just the world of Hogwarts and you create your own character and live out a separate story. I would be so on board with this if it wasnt for the fact that each copy sold, some of that money goes to J.K. Rowling.

Yeah I read and enjoyed all the HP books back in the day so there’s a part of me that’s interested in the game but I don’t want a single cent going to Rowling lol

These days I'm really glad that Harry Potter never really clicked for me, so there's no conflict about wanting to support her or not.

According to Sony, pre-orders are not even suppose to be up yet at retailers until tomorrow. So if you pre-ordered from Wal-Mart or Gamestop, they are likely over selling pre-orders and you should expect your pre-order to be canceled.

What does releasing pre-order sales earlier than expected have to do with over selling pre-orders? They are two different things.

well if you look at the case of gamestop, these stores don't know what inventory they're receiving but are still taking preorders. in this case it doesn't sound like the individual stores are getting to decide the shipments they're receiving, so, by taking preorders before they know that they could easily be over selling

I bought Dreams from Gamestop for like 10 bucks after trading in some other dumb games I stopped playing months prior. then I realized Dreams was not so great and returned it.

disc version is a no-brainer

I keep wanting to get into Dreams, but the fact that there isn’t even a free “content viewer, no creation” version bundled with the PS4, let alone a PC version or way to create a standalone build of your game (plus rights issues around how much of your game you actually own and Sony’s apathy toward promoting Dreams) kills my desire to actually use it. Guess I’ll just stick to Unity.

Thanks. Got one.

A tip for people: it told me that my item was unavailable with my shipping method or location or something like that. I couldn't find anything valid to actually change though, so I just kept hitting the purchase button , and eventually it went through. No change in delivery method or cart or anything worked was necessary.

oh poo poo this worked lol

now let's see if these preorders actually exist for the day it releases

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
Ordered at Best Buy Canada. I got two switches at launch (one for friend who paid me back) so I ‘m confident that I’ll get it no problems beyond it probably being a little later than actual release date.

The downside? I’m doing a teaching degree right now and I think it’s coming out my first week teaching in school. I hope I’ll have enough free time to play with it, lol.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
goddamn, the audio was a it hosed when i watched the ff16 trailer but just noticed the theme tune is ALL the new version of prelude and it sounds incredible.

also the plot is two timelines, one where you are the kids protector and poo poo its the fan and then your hunting down the grown kid in the future who is now a big summon causing all kinds of problems, and the kids (phoenix) mother is shiva at least, thats what it seems like. same eyes on the two characters so that bit is probably true.

Sold out while putting my info in at EB Games. Got it through JB but the site says "Due to stock demand your pre-order does not guarantee availability on the day of release (or a specific date)."

Lol. Oh well. First console I'm trying to get at launch since the Wii and before that was the Gamecube. Didn't have this issue with the gamecube funnily enough.

Previously Cerny said they “expected” the “top 100” PS4 games to be playable at launch which is a pretty weird way to phrase it. This seems to be a better answer

Cerny said they, at the time, had tested and verified the top 100 to work with PS5-enhanced boost mode, and were happy with the results so far. He wasn't referring to the legacy PS4 and PS4 Pro modes that are built-in the PS5 CPU.

The expectation was never less than the overwhelming majority (usual caveats apply) of PS4 games to be BC in at least the legacy modes.

I was making dinner and my best friend called yelling IT'S UP ON TARGET so we're both here telling each other the errors we're seeing, then we hang up and I text him saying to KEEP REFRESHING and bam worked, anyway that's my story hope you enjoyed it I skipped the whole PS4 generation so this will be a fun distraction while the world around us burns

Ditto for me. Edit: I don't think we need to be too worried, apparently it's on ALL the preorders and not just latecomers.

:siren: Ausgoons :siren:

Big W and Target have a PS5 page but no preorder option yet, so if you haven't snagged a preorder yet it might be worth watching their website.

I guess since I just want this thing done, I went ahead and ordered the disk one at Target. Seems pretty easy to get the disk one pre-ordered so wonder if that is on purpose, I'm sure they make a larger margin as no way the drive costs them that much or maybe the diskless is just a higher demand.

I'm not sweating the panic too much. Hopefully I can just snag one on Amazon tomorrow or go to my local GS and put $50 down or whatever. And if that doesn't work we will have 2 months of it coming in and out of stock at a bunch of retailers.

The large amount of Target preorders going through is making me suspicious. It's been up for about 40 minutes, which is 30 minutes longer than other retailers we've managed to order from in this thread.

My dumb rear end will pre-order one if I can, but drat if I know why. I'm kinda lukewarm on a Demon's Souls remake. PS4 games with slightly boosted performance and loading? Fear of missing out?

GAME in the UK have sold out of most of their bundles and all of their digital editions it looks like. Just the disc version, and a small proportion of the bundles including it, left.

The main reason I'm getting one is for Destiny at 60 fps. I have no shame about this fact.

hahaha just like the other goons the target website order wasnt going through initially but if you keep going at it, it might still go through! I wont be that upset if Target isn't able to honor the pre order.

Also im predicting rear end in a top hat scalper resales to be 700-800$
