Digital edition preordered via Sony. The queue wait was surprisingly short. People on other forums were reporting wait times of 1 hour or so lol.

Special thanks to @amaga bhai for getting the order placed. If you're in Pakistan and got one of these emails and want to book your PS5, get in touch with him.

Congrats on the purchase, so you're gonna let that Sony invite lapse, or giving it away to someone ?

Gamestop still haven't announced trades for the PS5 yet, they were incredibly quick to put up XB pages within hours of the release date announcement :-/

Waiting for that before deciding which venue to take.

Still more useful than the actual console

Imagine thinking someone will actually pay the auction amounts. People here really dont know how this works lol

This is through the Sony invite

This is through the Sony invite

ohhhh, gotcha.

Just a heads up @Chandoo. If you're planning on sharing your invite with someone, you'll need to also give them the login details for the PSN ID you used to sign up, or the order won't go through.

Yeah I think I'm gonna sit on that. Fucking weird that Gamestop *still* haven't given any trade plans for PS5s.

This...weird looking thing, is bigger than OG Xbox and that's without the ugly blades and base stand?

Both consoles appear to be designed to primarily stand vertically, looking rather unwieldy on their sides.

Apparently not clear to some "geniuses" here.

PS5 pre-orders might not arrive on time, Amazon warns




Expect potential delays



Securing a PlayStation 5 pre-order has proven tricky over the last few days, as nearly every retailer seems to sell out of their stock the second it goes up. Amazon appeared to be a good bet for many PS5 hopefuls, but now, anyone who got a pre-order from the retail giant might want to think about backup options — at least, if they want their console to arrive on Nov. 12, the PS5’s U.S. release date.

An email from Amazon to numerous pre-order customers warns that the console might not show up on launch day. Sent Friday afternoon, the message — which was received by some Polygon employees with existing PS5 pre-orders — says that “you may not receive this item on the day it is released due to high demand. We’ll make every effort to get the item to you as soon as possible once released.”

The email goes on to say that customers can track their order via the Amazon website, and, should they wish, cancel unshipped items. It’s unclear if Amazon sent this email as a precaution to everyone who pre-ordered the PS5; Polygon has reached out to the company for comment, and we’ll update this article with any information we receive.


In the past, Amazon has bungled day-one shipments for new gaming hardware, like the Nintendo Switch, or popular games, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons — so even if the email is a “just in case” thing, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that some PS5 pre-orders might arrive later than anticipated.

It’s also worth noting that COVID-19 has, on the whole, greatly affected the availability and shipment of even basic goods. While Sony has promised that it is making more PS5 hardware than it did for the PS4 launch, actual shipments of the system might not be immune to things like the overall mail slowdown in the United States.

Can someone add a poll at the top of this thread to see how many people are buying the digital version and how many will be buying the disc version?

Hopefully they patch it to remove the 30fps cap.

PG's favorite Richard Leadbetter on how developers are happy with developing for the PS5:

Every single developer I've spoken to developing for PS5 has been evangelising how easy it is to work for, Its essentially the same development environment as PS4 and you scale up from there, for the new powers, the features and whatnot. I can't stress enough how happy developers seem to be with this situation

There is simply no doubt that the XSX on paper, the more powerful machine. However again, speaking to developers the development environment they are dealing with some people seem to be extremely happy with it, other people are having problems with it because they've moved away from what was previously the XDK which was specific for the Xbox to the GDK which is a more general environment for PC and for Xbox and even Xbox one is encompassed by the GDK
