Buying a ps5
-
Website crashed for me both times, meh
-
Failed at Wally world again. I don't have a ps4 pro so I'm eager to try it out and see if it can improve my play a little. I'm going to try Sony Direct first thing tomorrow though.
-
Didn't even know today was launch day. Not even remotely interested until after the New Year. I only play like 2 or 3 games at all anymore, so getting a new system is kind of like whatever.
Comes with age I guess. -
I can wait as I'll be playing a lot of CyberPunk on PC when it comes out, but I did try the Walmart 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and just now 9:00 online attempts. Neither were fruitful. I got to the payment part each time before being informed it was out of stock. If I could have gotten an order today, great. I had planned on waiting until new year anyway. But, that doesn't take away the absolute horrible experience many have endured with this pre-order and launch.

It's quite silly, It's not like Playstation (or Microsoft for that matter) barely made any consoles and have to severely limit supply.
Yes I'm sure 2020 did have some effect on production, but this type of thing is to create hype, "Look how fast we sold out"

This has been such a painful experience trying to secure an order and I’m starting to feel defeated.
I hesitated on the first round of pre-orders and I’m never gonna forgive myself lol.Good luck if you’re trying and god bless if you got lucky!
WALMART is the worst. Get one in my cart, confirm shipping address, select payment method and then their website gives me an error while placing the order, by the time it allows me to continue again, "we're sorry" the item in no longer available.

Sounds like most of our experiences. Lol. It's been a nightmare for sure. I'm hoping Sony Direct is smoother. Heard much better things about that. Or you know, walmart can get it together too..
-
sony direct at least abides by their que. walmart is a crapshoot. only reason i was able to get my original ps4 from them was I was a salaried manager and it wasn't ONLINE only.
-
PlayStation direct might be the best bet. I waited in a queue for almost 2 hours but I got it. You get free express shipping if you have PlayStation plus
-
i won the walmart lottery....or well I think I did since I got confirmation but shipping on thanksgiving is pretty suspect
-
My wife won an Xbox from some Facebook charity page she goes on. I just have no idea when it will arrive. Probably gonna end up being next year.
-
Had 6 different chances slip through my fingers today. Quite frustrating.
-
I got the ps5 yesterday. I played 2 ranked games. Felt like I was playing the cpu. Frame rate is insane. U don't even need a monitor!
-
Waiting for a ps5 until February or March when the Show drops for next gen. They should have plenty by then. Just got a pro a few months ago, so I’m content on waiting.
-
Was right there guys with Best Buy. Hit submit and even though I was signed in and been a member over ten years it asked to type in email verification code. WTH! That extra ten seconds or so may have screwed me as once verified they were out, ugh.

I'm gonna try, I was never originally planning on getting one, but I was surprised to find I am in a place where I can afford one, so crossing my finger for the best.
You mean you found a bag of money?
I'll wait, like the VH song. Still love my PS4.

Last time I bought a PlayStation at launch the next 2 months a different version came out for $100 cheaper with double the gigs. Never again. Don’t see a reason to rush. Don’t think spending all that money to raise my avg to .250 is worth rushing into lol
-
Just curious, if and when you do buy one, which version are you getting. The $399 or $499.
I'm going for the cheaper version since I only play a few games anyway. -
@elway7751 I’ll just be getting the cheaper one as well. Seems like that’s the best bet unless you enjoyed the novelty of physical copies or a big Blue-Ray fan.
@lazy_toast I hear you on that lol. I would be strongly disappointed. Nobody knows for sure, but I’m hearing rumblings that could be at least a year or two, maybe further away, just because of how advanced the technology is.
