It should ship tonight, a lot of the orders from last night say it's coming tomorrow
I was able to get express shipping too!
I tried to get express but I got scared. I clicked it and it took awhile to refresh and then the change never took. So I was scared to try it again and I just submitted it lol.
It worked a little better, but I still wasn't able to complete the purchase. The site got obliterated again.
If Walmart.com wouldn't allow guest shopping and force people to sign up for an actual online account where their email has to be verified, I imagine that might help the massive botting problem.
"Guest" shopping was a mistake for any online retailer, make people sign up to shop like PS Direct.

Lucky! I wish there was a way to modify my shipping option post-purchase. I ordered so fast I didn't even notice if express shipping was available.
Got my confirmation email as well. I'm legit hype as hell. I've never typed my CC info in so fast and I even remembered to pick express shipping.
So my purchase didn't go through on direct which seemed odd because everything was correct and I was right on top of it... Just got an alert from my credit card thinking it was fraud so the purchase was prevented.
Might be the same for others if you hit that step and couldn't get through.

I got further in the first round than I did this time.
I couldn't even get past the cart.
I am heartbroken. I had one in my cart on Direct, went through checkout, and then it said there was a problem with my card information. The same card (saved info and everything) from the remote that I just purchased earlier today. I tried 4-5 times to re-enter card info but it wasn't having any of it, and it just now let me know that the item in my cart was OOS. Just checked my card and it charged then refunded me 3 times, probably due to my panic and re-entering the info. That still doesn't explain why it gave me that error the first time on my first order placement. I think I'm fucked nonetheless because there are as many refunds as there are charges, meaning they didn't actually take any payment from me.
considering they sent a bunch of delay notices for the initial pre-orders, I'm going to assume they will be using any supplemental shipments to fulfill those orders first.
Got one on PS Direct. Just received confirmation email.
I was manually refreshing the page every 5 minutes since 8am this morning.
At 11:58 I went to go get a glass of water. Sat down. Hit refresh and the Add to kart button was staring me in the face while I was diddling around on the other monitor for another minute before I noticed it. Didn't have a queue and didn't need to resort to any tricks.

You can try it's what I did for 3pm. Failed miserably cause the bots are much faster than any human.
Same with me, but I don't mind. 3-4 day shipping is better than infinity day shipping.
15 min wait time for Sony Direct. Looks like they're out of stock but I can get my address and payment info in order.
I don't think so. I got Series X and S on first try Tuesday, Walmart and Amazon respectively.
I had a pre-order off MS's website (that I cancelled) and then on launch day there was ONE available nearby me in a store that was available for a while that I could have snagged, but didn't. Seemed a little easier than this...
Same exact thing happened to me. Really bizarre. I only clicked "Place Order" once and my cc still was charged, but then showed it as removed. Same thing with a different card. Truly bizarre.
Nope no advance notice. We have at least at least an initial time of 12pm PST. So maybe they do the same tomorrow
Congrats to everyone that got one! I was too busy getting fucked by Walmart to see that the PS direct opened
God I am such a fuck up, I can't believe I did this.
This is what happened to me. I think us auto-refreshing allowed us to bypass the queue.
You should be ok. My card was charged with no email and they are preparing to ship it.
Can you checkout as a guest though PS direct? Creating an account for walmart screwed me over while I was checking out.
