Do you have to wait until next year to get one?
So if you didn't preorder a PS5 in time
I don't fucking want one
no. im getting ps5 slim
There will probably be more stock closer to Christmas, I'd guess God forbid you have to wait till the New Year.
>buying sony
Nah
what's the point of even preordering a new console? most of the shit they have on launch is multiplat trash like call of duty or ass creed
If I new they were gonna sell out so easily i would've preorder the minute it became avalible.
I managed to preorder four. Worst that happens is I make my money back or I make enough profit that I basically get my PS5 for free. So let's hope there is a major shortage this Christmas, so I can rip off some parents.
I don't even think they'll be available at Christmas, they probably won't even be available til 20201.
It's highly unlikely the initial wave isn't going to be the only time they will make stock available before launch and end of the year but considering how badly Sony botched things, I wouldn't be surprised if they won't announce them and you'll need to use Twitter or something to figure out where and when to preorder.
I have a PC.
No, this is probably the first preorder wave, given how popular it's proven to be, probably one more wave of preorders goes up, maybe small one though. Then yeah probably 2021 for the next wave, I imagine feb or march.
How did botch things exactly? I hear alot of people say that but what did they do?
Holy based
They gave approximately 24 hours notice in a tweet that preorders were going up next day after the Sony presentation on the 16th and some people believed it and went to sleep.

What happened was Walmart decided to break the date on the preorder because Sony didn't write in the contract or do anything to dissuade breaking the preorder date and so Walmart literally started making preorders available and they had the balls to announce it also via Twitter.

What happened was all other retailers jumped in after and broke the date as well. Skeptics and people who were tuned in social media who weren't asleep got the heads up notice and started scrambling to get in orders and the entire preordering situation turned into a free for all. And people woke up on the 17th expecting to get in preorders only to find out they got snatched up overnight. This was despite what Sony's head of marketing said to Geoff several months ago. So lots of people were upset.

Probably the biggest fuckup from Sony during the PS5 launch that they will ever do. It didn't help the lying by omission cross-gen news about games that were announced for PS5 were also coming to PS4 came out at the around the same time and heaped negative press on Sony.
I really hope they have more PS5's this year. I don't want to wait until 2021 to buy one.
This. And will only get one when is for 300 or less, that will be also the time to get some games for 20.
I’ve been calling it for a while but now I’m posting it:
A pro model will be on the market within 8 months. A lot of the ps5 titles are 4K30 and performance mode (dynamically dropping resolution among other things) at 60fps. The console sounds underpowered and stock is oddly already allocated for 2021 in Australia.
There will always be scalpers user
im getting off this next gen bullshit, im gonna play ps2 games from now on
>8 months
0 chance. not a single snowflake's chance in hell. 1 year anni will be them announcing it for a 2022 holiday release maybe, but not a CHANCE they rush out a pro revision like that.
Yeah, next year they'll be playing catch up in manufacturing normal ps5s so the vast majority of people can get one
8 months is too soon to do another chip design and get it to manufacture. TSMC silicon foundry is booked for 5nm and 7nm. 18 months is more realistic if they literally started today.
Yes, exactly. There's no way with the fucking stock/production issues they have right now they'd be able to design and produce a bunch of pro models for release within like half a year.
And yet console sales always go up after launch as their library grows, so only time will tell if they keep up with demand. That's why I got one early, the future is uncertain.
Well, maybe there will be games by next year/
Yes but, what if it's already in production?
So you're saying they produced not 1, not 2, but THREE systems, all at once, then... Spent an exorbitant amount of money to push those already hugely delayed systems to market through airshipping rather than freight, and for some reason the third system is also taking longer?
No, that doesn't even make sense, animenigger.
It's not like the chips differ between the physical and digital editions of the PS4, one just has an optical drive.
I got two. One from Wal-Mart and one from Best Buy. Can't wait to make some poor fuck who couldn't get one pay close to double for one of mine so I can basically get a PS5 for free.
They're still different SKUs and have different physical layouts and designs, meaning different shells even if the inners are otherwise identical.
