50000 worldwide. Maybe 5000? Thats like super limited. Maybe these are spread all over the different sellers.

I wonder how many Very got. I was just curious. If I hover over the product it says bought 100+, but don't know if this changes after 200 or not
Did you get the discount, told me not applicable. Got it transferred to pay in 12 months though so good result
Yeah, unless you are living in a cleanroom (lab without dust), glossy consoles are the worst. They collect dust, you clean them, the surface gets scratched (even using micro fibre cloth).
Nope, didn't get it either but I'm Ok with that as I got the console!
Same here, this sort of thing never happens to me! Though like somebody else, I was on Very at 10 for a good half hour then went away for 2 minutes and lost out, so feel rewarded!
Is the release date the 24th? Because everything there makes it seem like no preorders, just order on the 24th (probably some random time), watch it sell out in a minute and then look at the ebay listings. They don't even tell you who is selling it and by the time sony put whatever links up on those pages it will be sold out, lol.
That's probably ballpark.
Also consider that a few hundred are reserved for marketing/reviewing.
Still nothing in Germany, not one place where you could pre order. (If i haven't missed something.)
Yep very also cancelled orders, if yours says sorry not available in your order history it's been cancelled. That's my third order cancelled now from 3 retailers lol
It would be interesting to find out of the 50.000 units worldwide, how many ERA members got their hands on this Limited Edition console.
Quite a few ERA members obtained the even more rare 20th anniversary console, I see the same happening this time around with a much more abundant limited edition.

Step 3) Wario64 take my energy
That was mostly down to the IRC group helping with the competition as far as UK was concerned .
I got 2 myself, 1 at PSX for being 6th in line, and then 1 online which I then sold to a friend at cost.
I'm pretty surprised it's sold out everywhere, the 20th anniversary one made sense because of nostalgia but this is just a blue see-through console. Are people just buying it because they think it's gonna be worth something ?
Sorry to go a bit off topic here but did that help with the noise much?
It's numbered. People like that...also yes, you can sell it for more.
Why are you surprised? PlayStation consoles don't stay on the shelves for long as-is with standard non-limited consoles. A limited one such as this with camera + 2TB HDD + controller + stand won't last nearly as long as standard units on shelves.
Bit of everything. Videogames are an easy target for scalping. Soon as you read "limited edition" you pretty much expect scalpers are getting their bots ready. Especially Nintendo stuff, but examples like this for Non Nintendo are just as good pickings. It's easy to make a quick buck off of with little work. It's nothing new, really. Just means if you really want it, you need to bring your A game, or prepare for disappointment. Not just for games, it's for anything in demand - sneakers, Disney dolls, music, poster prints, figures, etc.
Personally, it's a dope looking console. I want one to use and one to keep sealed to just sell off when I'm ready to 5-10 years later. Greedy? Guess so. Would be fine with just one as well though.
Try to get some limited edition clothes/shoes. It's even worse.
My Very account is now showing as transferred back from Buy Now Pay Later. But can still track order. Hope that doesn't mean it's about to be cancelled.....
I bagged a very order, but will try again tom with Amz UK. Anyone have any experience with Very for consoles? Which courier do they use
Ha, I do. Usually for myself e.g. AJ1s, otherwise for resale e.g. the butt ugly OffWhite AJ1s. Luckily for the pairs I actually want I've mostly succeeded.
lol, i didn't report it but you're right it was a fuck up and a half by them.
People are paying for the fuck up but also Amazon simply don't have that many consoles, if you look at a large retailer like Game for instance, they had a max of 1-10 per store. they are getting the lions share of the consoles apparently so say every store got 10, that would be 6900 so I would then imagine amazon to get around 3k maximum consoles maybe 4k, then the rest is split between indie stores Very and Currys
Looks like many stores only got 1 or 2 though. Seems like small stores in the middle of nowhere though. Just basis this on their various twitter accounts.
I know that my larger town store got 6, so I would assume city stores would get 10+ I was just rounding up for quick maths.
Oh dude, that sucks. I just checked mine and it's still there, my heart can't take this shit...
