Surely it's not a big surprise that PS5's are impossible to get hold of?

I'm seeing stories of over 100,000 in the waiting list on certain sites. But what do people expect on release day?! I find it hard to have any sympathy for those who didn't pre-order and are now crying on social media because they can't get one.

Anyone who was that desperate for one could have been playing it by now if they'd pre-ordered, you snooze you lose!
Wasn't pre ordering a ball ache as well? Having to get lucky the websites even loaded to let you pre order? And at those times people could have been at work so had no chance anyway.

Yeah still more than an hour though so no chance of that
I'm the same, I've gone for a dearer bundle in the hope that there are more of them left and got the Mrs on the console only.

I'm hoping some will have dropped out of the queue after amazon got stock for a minute

Arrived. It’s massive. Have set up, opted against PS4 transfer based on bricking reports. Also turned off rather than rest mode for the same reason. Will finally play on it this evening.

Around when will we be able to buy one at will? Mid jan I'm assuming? I remember the ps4 was not easy to purchase at all.
I reckon even later than that. Sure GameStop in Ireland have told me I have to wait until January and that’s a per order from September.

Rest thing is only if you don't exit an application before shutting off, i couldn't be bothered having to turn it on properly every time i wanted to use it.

My Yodel order has now updated and is out for delivery, should be here between 5-7pm.

It's obviously a bit ridiculous to think that so many people had all had their PS5s "stolen" whilst in transit, but at first, that was literally what Yodel told me and I was advised to seek a refund from Game. Regardless of whether the machine arrives today or not, this process has been a shambles.

Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable.
feck PS5 day. Norway is so undersupplied that I’ll probably have to wait till February.

feck it right in the face.
Same in Austria.
Amazon hasn't even bothered to notify when stocks back. Doubt there is any.
Another retailer with on store pick ups for pre-orders have all been delayed till December because of lockdown.

I dont understand why such less units were made? Is it because of resources, or time factor, or money issues?

Girlfriend clutched it this morning and bagged the Digital one for me from Very.

I gave up as it was 9, and I had to start my shift.
I told her to give up as I didn’t want her to waste her morning.

Sends back an email confirmation 30 mins later.

Absolute clutch. I’m going to have to marry her now don’t I?

That always happens with Amazon orders, I think they just have loads of different doors to deliver in those 2 roads to yours.
