No one has digital edition? It looks like DE will be a super exclusive club. Would be funny if DE ends up costing more than regular PS5 on price gauging websites.

That's why we aren't millionaires.
of course they're having them shipped. But if you have an embargo you normally aim to get things to everyone so they all have a fair crack at getting things filmed/written so they can go live at the same time. We've seen a week of US places posting shots of boxes, but nothing from Europe. So its not unreasonable to think they're coming in later (seemingly today) - which is still a little late for unboxing vs US.
Sony so far has had 1 big news a week for a month. Maybe a SoP announced at the end of the week 👀
I am guessing that they will put a form online to request an adaptor.
He is saying they will release an unboxing Video in a few Hours, Dual Sense impressions and overall "Next Gen Impression" in a few days.
I dont know what it is, but theres always something funny to me about hearing a different language and then suddenly an english word pops up out of nowhere.
It will be funny just to have all Nextgen boxes next to each other. PS5-XSX-XSS.
Thats how we Germans feel when you talk about WOLFENSTEIN. Even weirder when a German speaks English and puts heavy emphasis on WOLFENSTEIN.
Because PS5 isn't matte black.
Used to tell my parents this but they were like "nope you can't open it before Christmas Day".
I'm honestly still shocked at how small it is. Like how the hell does everything fit in there?, Sony have either broken some laws of physics or they're just really good at tetris.
yeah how is the box smaller than the PS5?
i guess we have to assemble it!
Yeah. Where you prove you own a PS5 with a receipt or whatever (as opposed to proving you own a PSVR)
Based on this:
I would guess it's laid out something like this:
Or this:
Or like th1nk suggested, like this?
I would assume the stand is preattached for convenience but idk maybe it's not?, either way it's well packed.
Fucking this. I'm quietly preparing additional €100 just in case I don't get my upfront paid for PS5DE. But in that case I'll just stick with Series X for the time being, I don't need this ugly fat PS5 in my room.

The only reason I can think of why they'd want to delay any hands on is because the firmware update isn't ready yet. So whatever OS/UI is operating on the retail units right now is not the one Sony demoed a week ago.
Or they want to spread out the info for the next couple weeks.
I'm choosing not to unbox mine until Christmas day so I have something to look forwards too. Was supposed to be flying home to England this year for a family Christmas but that won't be happening.
Considering how they've not behaved this way before, it's unlikely that this is a deliberate marketing choice. For instance, Sony's head of UX development promised we'd hear about the UI "soon" in late June. It took several months for them to show it, and he emphasised the "finally" in his commentary suggests - again - this was not by design.
Era seems to be the only place where people have somehow accepted a multibillion dollar company is purposefully holding back marketing of their console to the week of release, rather than showcasing its features/games ahead to drum up hype.
Don't take my word for it. Look at Sony's promotion of the PS4.
The embargo of hands-on impressions may suggest the firmware hasn't been installed on the retail machines yet.
There's a pandemic going on. Sony had kiosks being assembled back in February for people to play the PS5 but everything changed.
"Soon" means nothing. Could be a week, could be 6 months.
Embargoes are typical and even MS have them. They are around 2 weeks earlier than Sony with these things.
It's not a race. Everything is going well. Seriously...people are reading too much into these things.
This hype for a simple unboxing kinda feels dirty for us in Europe knowing we're on the brink of a another round of lockdowns... who the fuck knows if stores will be open by nov 19th.
Hope they put out worthwhile news soonish
I won't take your word for it because this seems rather convoluted when the answer is simple as,"There is a global pandemic affecting every aspect of life and business".
