Which means 70 quid in the UK I expect. That kind of drowns out the reasonable prices for the consoles themselves IMO.

Well the disc ones are all gone now too as far as I can tell.

1771

Yeah but they were available for about half an hour. Seems like it might be 4-1 ratio, or bigger. Digital there were gone basically as soon as they went up.Best Buy and Gamespot sites are crumbling at the moment, I guess people really want this thing.

Crap. That’s what I get for waiting until tonight to watch this week’s Lovecraft Country!

1774

So much for preorders starting tomorrow. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are already sold out. I assume Gamestop is too, or will be as soon as Cloudflare unblocks them.

1775

I expect Amazon US to go live at like 9PM PST and fuck over all of us East Coasters.

1776

I got my preorder in for disc version PS5 from Target.

1777

… and these are all cross gen titles for a while anyway.

~100$ less doesn’t really seem worth it to skip the drive.

I just looked at my little PS4 collection and 4 games in I already saved 100$ (at what I bought them at) compared to the lowest price in history on PSN.

Here in Canada it’s 640$ with the drive, 500$ without. Pre-orders of the digital are mostly sold out.

1779

Well if anyone finds the disc model available online (Amazon, perhaps, eventually?), feel free to shoot me an @ mention on Twitter ASAP @WhollySchmidt (same as my handle here) so I get the alert.

Best Buy (right now?)

1781

Been hammering their website for an hour, have you had any luck? It’s in my cart but I can never get to actually checkout. A moment ago I also got a “sorry, we just found out this item is out of stock” alert, which is a first, so it might actually be gone now.

1782

Yea, i’m checking out and it won’t let me as well. Weird, never had that happen before.

1783

This is going to be so annoying this year to get a console. It’s going to be like being a kid and sitting up for hours in pre-queue just to hammer at the page and get your order in, isn’t it?

B&H is likely to get some in eventually.

It’s signing me into my account… very slowly…

1784

I’m going to bed. If you manage to get a PS5 from Best Buy, I need you to lie to me and tell me it took you another three hours of trying, because if you get one ten minutes from now…

1785

Try selecting pick up at store instead of shipping… tomorrow.

I mean i don’t even really want one, but i’d rather have an order in i can cancel later jic…

I can’t get through the Continue to Payment Information. It seems to have accepted my cart though…

Walle’s baby (PS5) looks like her mom:

I actually started the checkout process for Best Buy but it timed out and cleared my cart. And now I can’t add it back of course.
