I guess we're from different Canada's.
Yeah I think you and I live in the same Canada. Maybe he's in Nunavut, who knows

I think up to 40% of pre order stock is tied up by people scalpers and by people who have ordered 3 and 4 but only plan on keeping one. They do it to "insure they get 1".
Scalpers on the other hand can suck 1.
Sites need to change their ability to secure one by charging the person ordering immediately, put a hold for the amount on the card.
Sony were also a bag of dicks about it all.
my ability to pay rent and eat is more important than your videogames?
i can eat a dick?....i hope you choke on a bag of xbox brand doritos
Nope.I'm fairly sure that this time around less units were built,
So you are banking on being able to pay your rent/eat off of screwing people out if a chance to get a ps5? FoH, even if I believed that bs that you were going to use the money for that then you need to find a better source of income.my ability to pay rent and eat is more important than your videogames?

It literally takes no luck to get one. You follow the right Twitter accounts and click a button. It takes a little bit of effort I guess? But everyone thinks they deserve one with no effort, so enjoy in 2021.
This is the snswerTBH, I wish sites would just create wait-lists already. Stop drip dropping and let me get on a list and let me know. That's the only way to really combat scalpers, especially the bots that are getting 30 or 40 at a time.

True but not this many people. You should look at twitter at how many people are complaining.It's hard but there were a few opportunities to get these consoles. Someone was always going to miss out.

Same. I was able to get a PS4 and Switch without much trouble at all. PS5 has just been unobtainable.
Covid
Western Europe, and we consume playstation like it's freshly baked bread here.Yeah, this is why. Especially if you're in Eastern Europe. On the other hand, when you live in a big country full of people who grew up with consoles for the past 40 years...
Been fine for me in UK. Preorderd a ps5 and xbox series x just after they went on sale.
Between scalpers and stupid people with needless anxiety ordering several, everyone else has no chance.

What twitter accounts do you follow? Since you've already purchased yours.
I have the amazon app set to give me a notification if it comes in stock, if I get one at launch, great, if I have to wait until next may, oh well. I'd like one asap, but yeah I'm not stressing over it.
As someone who has been in MS and Sony's ecosystem for as long as I can remember (Gold since 2006 and PS+ since it was introduced) it's disappointing that they didn't go that route. Not to mention buying many of Sonys AAA games on digital Day 1. It's outright infuriating that individuals were getting invites who hadn't owned a PS console in years or just bought one. Nothing wrong with giving those most loyal a day head start on pre-ordering. They could have even tiered it for MS such that 15+ year gold members would have been first, 10+ second, 5+ third etc. Same with Sony since PS+ has only been around for 10 years.Imagine a system where long standing accounts (Xbox live/PS+) are offered a unique key for pre-ordering before the preorders open up to the public.
Yeah sure this would still come with it’s own problems, but I think it would resolve the bigger problems that occur now such as bots.
Wat. The thirst is and has been high.I think Sony is manufacturing the demand
From my experience, this is how Universities handle season passes for sports. Seniors get first dibs, followed by juniors, sophomores, and finally freshmen.As someone who has been in MS and Sony's ecosystem for as long as I can remember (Gold since 2006 and PS+ since it was introduced) it's disappointing that they didn't go that route.

At A&M it was like that. And usually, everyone who wants to get into the game, gets in. They may not get the best seats, but they get in.From my experience, this is how Universities handle season passes for sports. Seniors get first dibs, followed by juniors, sophomores, and finally freshmen.
It works out quite well.
Like the title pre-ordering PS5 is a nightmare years ago you were allowed to pre-order without restrictions! I think Sony is manufacturing the demand it's not worth waiting in line and it's not worth stressing about trying to get one I'll wait and if Sony decides to get off their asses and open pre-orders up to everyone and just qué them up (which is what should be done) I'd rather wait it out until the console is available I have a Playstation 4 pro so I'm not in a desperate situation but as a life long fan of playstation I have to say Sony dropped the ball on that one. I don't know what frustrations Xbox fans are going through but the pre-ordering process just stinks
I don't understand people who buy consoles on launch anyway, it does not have a decent library of games, it is more expensive and you're essentially paying to beta test the consoles.
Electronics enthusiasts with cash don't have a problem with it and like to get their hands on new things asap.I don't understand people who buy consoles on launch anyway, it does not have a decent library of games, it is more expensive and you're essentially paying to beta test the consoles.
You preordered covid?Covid

My original plan was to play Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us part 2 on PS5, which meant I would have had those two, plus AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk and Demons Souls. Not to mention a backlog of games that would likely perform better on a PS5. I mean, what's there not to play? Those last 3 games would likely last for a while of playI don't understand people who buy consoles on launch anyway, it does not have a decent library of games, it is more expensive and you're essentially paying to beta test the consoles.
So by your logic they are hard to get but yet some people have been able to order multiple consoles. I was one of those people. I put in the work and didn't just log off of the internet when the PS5 showcase was over. I needed two PS5s (one for my house and one for my daughters Christmas) I felt like a fool for hitting F5 for almost an hour but I did what I felt I needed to do to secure them. Yes. They are hard to get and I feel bad for those that do no secure one but any hot item be hard to get going into the holidays. Especially new released tech.I think up to 40% of pre order stock is tied up by people scalpers and by people who have ordered 3 and 4 but only plan on keeping one. They do it to "insure they get 1".
I do hope a lot of people ordered multiple and plan to keep only one. In theory that should mean that some will become immediately available on release day when buyers decide to keep only one.So by your logic they are hard to get but yet some people have been able to order multiple consoles.
