@InsertUsername fortunately that was waived cause I got the PS5 Gamestop edition. The only charge I have is that I have to pay $9.99 everytime I turn the console on. Its such a great deal.
As Jim Sterling says "they don't want some of the money, they want ALL of the money!" What still gets to me is that we are under 2 months before some games release and we have hardly seen anything in regards to gameplay. What are they waiting for?
@InsertUsername hahaha yeah I'm totally expecting to get an email saying that they are charging me a $100 gamestop convenience fee for 2020 delivery lol
I got the second wave of pre orders from Gamestop US. It says it ships by November 30th so hopefully the delay isn't too bad. At least they were a "little" honest lol
It will still probably be toned down compared to western titles like the witcher 3 or TLOU 2. A japenese M rating is usually a T western rating especially with language and nudity etc
also just a heads up that the US pre orders for today will ship a couple of weeks later than the launch. Kind if sucks put i guess its better than next year.
Bloody hell I finally snagged one here in the US. I beat the system with some help from Wario64. My friend in the UK was also able to snag one. What a rollercoaster ride this morning was.
I think demanD is a bit inflated right now as everyone wants a game or two at launch for their shiny new console. Once we are a year or two in i suspect people will be less likely to pay as the novelty wears off.
@get2sammyb I wish they would give a time frame like morning or afternoon at least. I live in the west coast so if they go live at 8am EST I will still be asleep. This whole thing has kind of been a mess. 2020 strikes again lol
You guys realize that they had to upgrade the world and character models for the MM release right? Them being able to say it's a "remaster" is just a bonus for them. They are getting us to pay for their enginer upgrade basically.
@thedevilsjester yeah I do agree. I wouldn't say it's once in a decade cause it happens with yearly phone releases, graphics cards. I also think all sites need captchas to slow down bots. I am not a software engineer but I can imagine that something can be done. Anything is better than what they currently have
The thing that gets me is that these are literally giant companies that could easily rent some extra servers and pay some people for the day to make it go smoother. How is our internet infrastructure still so bad in 2020. It is mind blowing
Great move by Microsoft especially the day before the Xbox pre orders when no one can pre order a ps5 currently. Im sure some of the games will still come to playstation. Time will tell. Hopefully this makes Sony wake up.
Works for me. I did feel like the witcher dragged a little bit near the end. Still one of my favorite games of all time but if cyberpunk is 20% shorter I wouldn't mind.
Glad they finally acknowledged the s#$& show that was the pre-order launch. I am a little sour about it but I already knew that there would be more available plus stores will definitely have in store stock for parents closer to Xmas. Most parents have no idea about pre order dates and stuff etc
I'll stick to my 2 -3 day one purchases and get everything else at a 50-75% off sale price. I think what publishers like Sony and EA don't realize is that this year hit hard for a lot of families and Xmas is going to be tight. So instead of a kid getting 2 games they may only get 1. I have a feeling we are going to see some IPs go dormant in the near future as "they didn't meet sales expectations"
I'm going to hold out until the proper PS5 upgrade. I feel like playing this on a PS4 will be a disservice to the developers and to yourself. Hopefully I will be able to snag a console by then
Why would they when they can gouge us even more. A few months ago Sony were like "dont worry we have your back with upgrades, timed pre orders, ps5 console exclusives" etc etc. Now that its time to hold up their end of the bargain they are silent. I really hope that XBOX does a lot better this generation so that Sony can eat some humble pie
Oh well. I found it suspicious that we hadn't heard anything about these games for a while. Looks like he just got fed up and left. He got his money and now it was time to run
Yeah the frustrating thing is that not everyone was just sitting around on social media. A lot of us have busy lives and were told one thing and wake up to them being sold out everywhere. I didn't even get a chance to add an item to a cart and be sold out etc. I literally woke up to the news that they are sold out literally everywhere. Its not the end of the world but the past week Sony has left a sour taste in my mouth from all their omissions.
2020 just gets better and better. For all of us in the US who work jobs and have to grind during this pandemic we basically got screwed as most the pre ordering happened late into the night. I guess I just have to wait like all the other plebs
@captainsandman dude I work in the audio industry and this is so true. People think it was torrents that killed the music industry. Nope, it was Spotify. Spotify is the disgusting stain that just keeps getting bigger. Subscription services only do not work. I'm sorry but they don't. They may be great for a consumer but they suck for the creative teams and talent making the media. Just look at netflix (not too bad at the moment but getting there), how many shows get cancelled after a season or 2? How many crap original movies and series do they have? Too many. Quality of their titles is not up to par with the likes of say: The Office, GOT, Californication, Weeds, The Wire, South Park etc etc. Yeah there is a gem every once in a while but it's not common. Its gonna happen to gaming if we are not careful
Can we have an article about the abysmal pre order process that happened last night and how consoles were basically sold out the day before they even went live due to confusion. Thanks for nothing Sony
I wonder if the games that will be available on PS4 will be priced cheaper than the games made solely for PS5 cause you could honestly just buy the ps4 copy with free upgrade
2021 is going to be insane. GOW 2, Harry Potter RPG, Horizon 2, RE8, Ratchet and Clank, new batman game plus I'm sure there will be a few other great 3rd party games.
I mean we all knew this was coming eventually. I will just stick to my 2-3 full price I purchases a year and then get everything at 50% off in a sale. Sometimes having no time to game is a blessing cause you end up saving money.
@Cloud39472 yeah I mean there have been so good ones like 7,8, and 10(which I guess I more post apocalyptic like horizon) but 15 just felt out of place. I am excited to be going back to more magical time.

Re: More PS5 Pre-Orders Available in the US, UK, Canada Starting Friday
@Westernwolf4 This is me. I am going to try again tomorrow but if I can't get one I will just try in person on launch day and see if I am able to.
Re: More PS5 Pre-Orders Available in the US, UK, Canada Starting Friday
Also good luck everyone. Hope most of you are able to snag one up if you weren't able to.
Re: More PS5 Pre-Orders Available in the US, UK, Canada Starting Friday
@deathaxe it was all a S#%# show. I can't believe we are still dealing with this in 2020. Companies need to setup better ways to do this.
