Best of luck to people who missed out on earlier preorders and received this invite.

Hopefully the queue is just to prevent site crashes and everyone invited will be able to get one.

I was bummed I didn't get one. No big deal I got mine already and even though I new it wasn't guaranteed I was hoping I would get picked. But I'm sure I'm nowhere close to top spender if that mattered at all and if it was lottery it appears I used up all my luck at Walmart and target lmao

i don't think how much you spend or how much you game either really matters because if that was the case i wouldn't have gotten picked.

not everybody that signed up for the pre orders got an email back from sony.
I never signed up for anything. It said something about being a PSN member, so here's your chance to get a PS5, or something close to that.

Down to 5 minutes. It definitely isn't the full wait time listed.

I just got in after 48 minutes and it's saying both Disc and Digital are sold out. Here's to hoping for another batch of pre-orders.

I got in and ordered direct from Sony. Launch day delivery. We'll see how this goes.

Just preordered mine!

Was originally thinking Digital Edition because over 90% of my games are digital and honestly will probably be almost all digital on PS5. But then I remembered I do still have several physical PS4 games from before I started buying digital, so I went with the $500 version.

The site actually held on to your order if you refresh it

But yeah, maybe it's a Sony website thing but if you order there, make sure you know what your billing address exactly is.

Is this a purchase direct from Sony situation? I'm still curious as to how and why they did it this way given that they already opened up pre-ordered in other places.

This was straight up from their store and they are doing it as cleanly as they can, knowing what a clusterfuck would have been had they not done a ticket system
