Glad the PlayStation Direct broke up the console and accessories into separate orders, made it easy to jump in and cancel the camera. Thinking of cancelling the headset as well and seeing how it compares to the new A20s and such.

I doubt they plan to do any midnight launch if it involves any gathering.
Hit me up with a PM playa and I may be able to take that preorder off your hands...
That camera seems so utterly useless. After the system launches and we're in 2021 I find it hard to believe that Sony will sell many of them because there just isn't much of an incentive to get one and unless Sony plans to make bad choices with PSVR2 I don't see that changing. I will say, maybe this is just my tech ignorance showing here but the fact that the PS5 camera can't be used with PSVR doesn't make me hopeful that I'll be able to use PSVR2 hardware to play PSVR1 games.
If it's a disc edition I may be interested :) I'm in Austin so can come to you.
It says you can only do local store orders online on launch day so I'm wondering if that's midnight or when they open
It is a disc edition. Target says it should arrive between 11/13 & 11/18. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later.
Do not change it. It can screw with your order as it's often treated as a new order and processed again which puts you at the end of the line and as a result they might not have stock for you when it comes time to ship.
Do not trust Target on this. They may say this is the plan but it's going to be highly dependent up to each store to follow that plan. There is a high probability that even if you get an order in, someone will sell your system in-store from a walk in before it is picked to fulfil your pickup order.
Oomph, my bank blocked my preorder on target and I lost the order completely. Customer service says they can't help. You hate to see it :'(
Target tends to ship preorders from more on the East Coast so the further west you are, the longer it will take. It'll ship ground too. So someone in CA can expect a week after it has shipped before it arrives.
Target is freaking ridiculous. I can't believe they do these checks over and over again. I'm so sorry to hear that smh.
I guess anything is possible. My pre order is already secured with Walmart. Just sharing to people and make aware of the possible availability of the units.
I'm just saying don't get your hopes too high on this even if you get an order in. In store pick up is highly unreliable for a hot item because there's a good chance that the item can get sold to someone before they notice the order has been placed which means they'll come back and say it's no longer available. Just have expectations in check that while you may get one, there's also a high probability it won't pan out too.
So, hypothetically speaking, what is the best/safest way to give their Amazon order to someone else? Like, how are people actually going about it. Is one person just submitting their card information and address or what?
I think folx are just changing the shipping address to whomever they make a deal with.
I was so on top of preordering the darn thing. Feeling bad about this L 😭
its the risk for any online orders since local stores are separate from online stores. this goes for best buy as well.
I hear ya. I'm not going in-store as these are to ship to my House. I also have my backup in case, so I'm not too worried on securing.
Does anyone know if changing address messes with pre orders? I know changing payment information has caused people's orders to mess up, but I really need to change where my console is shipping.
Yeah, it seems crazy to check it every week. If it doesn't clear when it's about to ship, then cancel, but these weekly checks seem superfluous.
I have gotten two emails from sony, one saying they are excited to be shipping ps5 accessories early and that they will be shipping my DualSense 5 controller on 10/30/2020 and another saying the same thing with my Ps5 digital edition order, did they move the launch of the console too?
I am curious, i primarily game on my PC monitor and not my tv. This is the monitor i have its a MSI 1440p 32" Curved 144hz refresh monitor. Would i gain by upgrading to the 4k version of this monitor or would sticking to 1440p be ok for PS5?
Just wait to see if the PS5 supports 1440p, if they do, i see no reason to upgrade to 4k yet, since 4k 144hz is really expensive.
Ah ok, got it. So the console is still launching on the 12th then.
Yah, in europe is actualy worse because they are moving everything to the 12 except the console :(
The PS5 probably won't support 1440p so I think you'll be forced to play at 1080p.
I ended up finding this link so it sounds like it will

I'll be the guinea pig for you all: I changed my payment method, will let you know how it turns out.
I asked this earlier, but what if you were to change the mailing address? I'm not sure what you can and can't change if you don't want them screwing up your order.
See, the changing payment or address screwing with the order sucks and it shouldnt. Sony said in their email you have time to make any changes."anytime up to 10 days prior to the listed release date"
If thats right, ppl have until Oct 21st to make changes at Sony for their accessories orders.
They also said..."now is the time to do it!" lol.

Would I literally need to camp out or can I order when the clock strikes midnight to order one for pick up?
You can maybe order at midnight, but that depends on when they go live, and how long Target's website is able to survive.
Then you'll have to do in-store pick up.
You will not be able to queue up at the store and walk in to buy one.
This sounds like online is the only way to do this. Camping out wouldn't get you anything. You need to place an order for pick-up.
Thought so. But the idea that we have no idea when they will be available for pick up is shit. Ugh this is gonna suck.
Yep, I wished they specified what time they'll start taking in-store pick up too. Probably gonna make an alarm for midnight and stay up all morning to constantly watch the site. Especially since I wouldn't be surprised if the stores only get maybe 4 extra consoles at most to sell to people who didn't preorder.
Timing could be pretty variable based on how Target's stock system works - the online orders for pickup/same-day are a fairly 1:1 to to their in-stock inventory system. If a store gets extra units for launch well in advance those units will probably be available for whenever the site's street date drops. But if they receive any of them off the truck after the website's street date clears, they'll literally update for each store's stock as they're scanned coming off the truck that day.
If anyone is trying to snag day of from Target and doesn't see them at midnight or w/e, you might have a better chance checking the local store stocks around when their daily trucks are unloaded (this started around 4AM when I used to work there).

Right? Haha. Thankful I put mine on a credit card we don't use much, so it's just been sitting at a low balance as the charges authorize again and again.
Unsure about the midnight aspect of orders going live online. I'd assume many will camp out anyway and simultaneously check their phones while waiting in a line.
