PS5 & XSX Pickup: The Struggle Continues |OT|

Colasante · Nov 19, 2020

In the queue in four different browsers, let's one one of them hits. And when they all inevitably fail, at least they put the queue up early enough that I can go for a nice walk in nature and contemplate about all the time I've wasted this past week on this bullshit.

Rbz · Nov 19, 2020

I can't get over the disappointment of successfully purchasing an XSX, getting excited and relieved, and having Walmart cancel it. Just flat out not being able to get one would've been so much less frustrating.

Can't believe I'm actually considering buying a scalped unit on stockX. The only thing preventing it is the spite I feel towards scalpers for putting me in this situation in the first place.

Does the que guarantee a PS5 if you get to front?

Shoichi · Nov 19, 2020

its definitely happening shortly

Message last updated: 1:11 PM

PS5 Consoles are limited and not guaranteed even if you are in the queue.

No. You still have to check out as quickly as possible once you get in

Einchy · Nov 19, 2020

Arrived home just in time to get the random RNG queue position.

Tried walmart earlier and got it to "click here to place order" twice and then the deer reset the whole check out process. So, hopefully I have better luck with this.

No, you have to complete a purchase and receive a confirmation that payment has been taken.

Lol if only it was that easy!

I hope someone knows. Does Sony Direct take a Paypal account like the playstation store? I have a Sony login and PS Plus but my girlfriend has my debit card and I don't remember my info!

Typhon · Nov 19, 2020

So I gotta borked system from Sony Direct and I haven't sent it up back yet and they won't send me a replacement because you know, stock issues Will the site let me order another now if I get in or say no because I already technically bought one?

Unfortunately it does not :(

Replicant · Nov 19, 2020

I'm good on both now, but in the lookout for a xbsx for my 10 yr old nephew.

Why Walmart even advertises or bothers with their websites is beyond me.

I believe it locks you out on the account from actually putting in the second order shows up in your order history

goddammit stepped away for a second to make lunch, and missed the queue call. assuming I'm not getting in this round :(

If they release like yesterday then:

Everyone will be at "more than an hour" for 30 minutes

Once they release it will start moving, if your minutes drop fast you have the best chance

Did you have to enter a lot of info or is it saved from the psn store?

Go to your Banks app and chat with them to get your card info!

I am reading the Sony Que instructions in Morpheus' voice

WHEN YOU REACH THE FRONT OF THE QUEUE:

You will hear a chime. Make sure to unmute your device.

You will be automatically redirected to direct.playstation.com.

If you are on a different tab, a pop-up will prompt you click to enter the site. You will have 10 minutes to proceed.

Once you click enter site, you will be redirected to the page you originally navigated to, from there you can begin your shopping journey.

I can't NOT do this now!

It's randomized once you're in the queue, you're fine to join

Had to enter my address and CC info, nothing was saved for me but I had never used the site before.

Trimble · Nov 19, 2020

Queued up on four different browsers and three devices like an absolute psycopath. All these captchas...

Just trade it in and get store credit or something.

Einchy · Nov 19, 2020

I have chrome, firefox, edge and my phone open with a queue.

Rewrite · Nov 19, 2020

Here's hoping we have better luck on ps direct guys! Not losing hope!

Same drill as yesterday - post if your time updates!

how do you know it is randominized?

Conkerkid11 · Nov 19, 2020

Neat, so auto refreshing didn't do anything but make me enter the queue later than everybody else.

This system is awful

AFAIK, stock hasn't dropped yet so we are all still in the pre-queue. You've just as much a chance as anyone else.

It's in the queue's description. They changed it to be randomized due to bots. So, once it goes live, everyone will get a spot randomized

Sounds like the times are screwy. People yesterday were advancing then being set back. Insult to injury if you ask me!

They are screwy, but generally advance as the yellow bar does - the yellow bar is more trustworthy. However, the mere appearance of times indicates that the shuffle has occurred and the pre-queue is now a real queue...

Skatterd · Nov 19, 2020

Does PS Direct let you buy a second one on a future day?
If they have Digitals today and I'm able to get a second I'll see to it that someone else on this board gets my extra

Saw some people saying that you can only order one per account but I can't say if that's true or not.

I think it's one per PSN account. I'm queueing for a buddy and using his PSN account just in case

this is the fastest I've ever gotten in the queue (less than 1 minute after Wario 64 tweeted). Fingers crossed!
