PS5 thread 2.0

I'm a weak weak man. After all my giving out about the pro I preordered it this morning from Smyth's. Now to break it to the wife 😂

They were gone by 10.01. I had mine in the basket on the button as was refreshing the page like mad. Once I paid (at 10.01), I went back and they were sold out. I'd well believe the 30 figure that sniper_samurai gave.

Treat yourself to the controller Jim. Only stuff like this happens every ten years.

30th anniv slim console sold out now on Smyths too. Controllers and Portal still available

I didn't get an authorisation either but did get the email confirmation. But my card is saved on the account which explains that I'd say.

Smyths have direct access to credit cards because they are Santa's little helpers.

Make sure your card details are on your account they'll take 1 cent for authorisation and give it back to you.

Seems to be hit and miss when they take full payment. Sometimes they take pre ordered items payment a week or so before, other times they don't take anything and you pay at the counter in store on the day of collection. Hard to know which it'll be for the PRO.

I got the standard controller in the 30th anniversary colours, I've never liked the see through buttons on the ps5 colours so this ticks all the boxes for me

Have Smyth's said they will restock the drive? I would probably pre-order a pro if I could a drive now or around launch.

1 month and 3 weeks to get my new controller 😒 Would love to use it soon, I'm using the Rise 4 remap kit on a standard dualsense and one of the paddles is a bit loose.

Yeah setup an email me when back in stock on their site and ordered one for store pickup. Guess going to have to buy the PS5 Pro to go with it now 😀

I watched digital foundry's hands on with it and they did a better job of selling it to me then Sony did.

Aaand it's gone

Sony have also apparently started cancelling orders that are confirmed to be by resellers on Ebay etc. on the Direct store. That's what happens when you put an image with your order number up on an auction site.

Amazing.

I collect prints from an awesome crowd called Bottleneck Gallery and the prints are similarly numbered and in low quantities. They cancel sales when they identity a resale on ebay as well as they are good at working out who the seller is. I was once on a waiting list for a sold out Drive print and benefitted from it when they reached out to me after a cancellation. Hopefully some actual fans get those consoles now.

Excuse the sidebar, I just love to see it.

There is an option to get emailed when they are back in stock that's how I managed to get it ordered got email to say back in stock and went to site and ordered it.

Obviously a pitch of salt is needed with any rumours. I don't know this channel but it looks legit enough. Saying he has seen a Dev show him that just unlocking the frame rate on pro gave them over 100hrtz and that 4k Ultra locked at 60 is likely to be fairly achievable.
