This. They fucked up and should have taken the L and honoured their orders. Now there's a bunch of us who no longer have an order and missed out on other sites because we were lead to believe we'd secured one. Fuck them, honestly.
The email I received was Amazon UK informing me that my account has been compromised, so therefore they had to cancel all pending orders, absolutely ridiculous way to treat a customer.

Probably not, but we'll probably get shafted with a few consoles. Shame really considering how much bigger the Sony brand is here compared to the states.
I'd say that but Sony Canada around 2 months ago downsized from an entire building with around 15 floors to one with maybe 2-3.

So BB Canada officially spoke up concerning the system and essentially echoed what was already known in that it will simply go up on the 24th and once they're gone they are gone forever. Basically at midnight the listing will go up, site will crash, when it comes back up most people will see a out of stock screen and that will be it. Yay.

Man that's some stupid shit. I don't see why we can't preorder. Makes no sense.

Its really shitty, I genuinely dont understand how they choose to celebrate a sales milestone by making their fan base have mass anxiety trying to obtain a rare system. Just put it out with no limited number and call it a day. This whole 50k limit is dumb.

I would guess it is a Manufacturing cost consideration each console is slightly more expensive to make so they don't want to create more than finite 50k

But that approach might be interesting

I assume there is some type of manufacturing issues across the board since they can't seem to keep regular ps4 pro consoles in store. I'm still struggling between keeping my Spider-Man pro. My wife said the red is obnoxious lol. But the all gloss finish on the 500 million bersion is obnoxious to me so were at a crossroads

Good luck to Amazon buyers today. Just checked my Very order and still there so should be safe now (crosses everything and won't step on cracked lines in the pavement)

Good luck, my Currys order is still there so I'm one less person you have to fight against.
Amazon servers should hopefully hold up better than Smyth's at least

"Due to a technical error, pre-orders for the 500 Million Limited Edition PS4 Pro Console went live before the announced time, and some customers were able to order multiple units. This is unfair to those who had planned to order at the announced time. All customer orders for the console have therefore been cancelled, please check your email for more information if you had placed an order.

Pre-orders will now be available from 10am (BST) on Wednesday 15th, August, limited to one unit per customer."

Managed to get the 20th Anniversary Grey PS4 so won't bother with this. Good luck to everyone here.

I Did preorder the controller though. Love clear plastic controllers.

Does Amazon have a pre-order for the gold headset already up or going up at 10am

I looked at GAME and it was £74 which is an extra £5 >.>
