Sony's factory can assemble a PlayStation console every 30 seconds
Sony's massively-efficient assembly factories maximize production and could accelerate PlayStation 5 console availability in 2020-2021.

They do a temporary charge of the full amount on your card but it drops off after a day.

It's partly on them for poor amounts initially, I'd wager. But the real ire draw should be Walmart, whom I believe is the one that started the panic on Wednesday night.

Weird I got that amazon email even after I had canceled it ,because I got another from bestbuy.

At least they acknowledged and are rectifying the mistake.

What does this mean for the existing Amazon pre-orders that they emailed saying they might not get one?

Amazon's message is merely precautionary. You will probably get it on time if you ordered it already but what this could mean is that anyone who wasn't getting it on time will now.

How do you jump from "sorry, we'll have more later" to "artificial shortages"?

What do they mean by release more PS5s for pre-order? Do vendors already have PS5s in their possession?

Not yet.

Which is why I think amazon is being cautious. Anything could happen causing them to not get what they expected.
Looks like they're not doing that anymore.

Got dang it! I can't keep up with what's going on. I was going to go up to Walmart and camp out too.

Oh, man. Stupid social distancing. Ah well, thanks for letting me know.

Sony’s horrible messaging probably enabled more people to get preorders in with bots not prepared.
They should be saying you’re welcome.

I don't even understand the point of reselling the system on Ebay these days. The cost of shipping and Ebay/PayPal fees takes such a massive cut that you have to basically sell it for double its value to barely make anything in the profit range. It seems like a ton of hassle for barely any money.
If people still do the local selling stuff (craigslist, offerup, ect) then I guess maybe that's where it gets to be worth it? I have no idea. I know I'm not showing up with $800 in cash to buy a PS5 off of some random weirdo in these times.

When you pre-order at GameStop, how much do you have to put down for deposit?

My Gamestop said $50, but you also have to pre-order 2 other items in the store too.

Oh I agree it just seems that any way that it is done somebody is going to get shafted. Hell for the XSX I have my sister going to GameStop for me and hopefully securing a pre-order on Tuesday while I see about amazon. I am lucky that she has the opportunity to do so in person, but if I didn't I would be screwed lol. I just think there has to be a better way for pre-orders.

Yeah. It used to be $50 here too.
When I pre-orderd PS4 I could put down CAD$50, but it seems even price for pre-ordering systems gone up.
How much is it btw? It's $750 here.

I think he's wondering why the disk based system is 750 in Australia, and 630 in Canada meanwhile both countries have the digital system for 500
That's how I read it. Hes right because it doesn't make sense. If the digital console was also 120 more, sure but it isn't.
At least Australians get better weather year round than us so maybe that the good weather tax

Sharks... and we have great mountain biking and skiing.
Canada>Aus
I wouldn't be surprised if more people died from skiing accidents than shark attacks
I dunno man. Australia is pretty amazing! I love Canada but they both have their pros and cons. Wouldn't say one is better than the other

Retailers don't give a fuck about you or me. As long as they sell out they don't care what happens after that.

Yeah agree with you there. A sale is a sale.

Nobody gives a crap about anyone. Everything people do in life revolves around money. People fake smiles, and pretend to care for a buck. Sooner you realize every person wants something from you the sooner you can tell people to piss off.

It was easier to get a PS5 preorder than the stupid Mario pin set.

Then yours should come out more, $658. Yours is much cheaper!

There was alot of talk about antonline.com while the PS5s were live. The site crashed, most stuff sold out except for pricey bundles. They sold out completely, then the most expensive bundle came back in stock for an hour or so.
whats the deal? I hear their customer service is awful. People are speculating they won’t have the stock come November 12th. Other people say they will ship everything but the console.
I used a credit card so I have fraud protection but can someone weight in in regards to experience with antonline?
