This is exactly the point I've gotten to as well. I'm so fed up with this terrible awful ordering system. These companies need to be incentivized somehow to deal with the bots. But they are getting the money regardless and I'm sure it does something to drive some kind of fake scarcity that's probably good for marketing or something so there is no incentive for them to deal with it.Yeah I saw this thread updated about the Direct queue about 3 minutes after the fact and jumped in immediately. Don't think I'm going to have any chance though, cause I'm still at over an hour wait. My yellow bar has progressed at least, but by the time it lets me in I imagine stock will have evaporated.
I refuse to sit and obsessively watch random Twitter users/set my phone to push notifications from Twitter just so I can have maximum odds at clicking buttons fast enough.
I'd still like one right now, but my desire is waning by the day and I'm just thinking about totally ignoring the PS5's existence until I can walk into a store and pick one up off the shelf with zero thought/other action necessary.
That's where I'm at. I'm willing to wait. I want to pay for it, and get an idea of when I will get one.
Same. FedEx sucks.You know the worst part about this for me is that I actually did manage to snag a pre-order in September, only to have my PS5 stolen. Now I have to hope I'm lucky enough to actually be active on Twitter the instant a deal goes live, only to play the luck game again and see if I can snag one. It's so lame.

Or mine that Amazon deemed "Undeliverable"Got in a few seconds before Wario tweeted and still nothing
It'd be nice if FedEx found my PS5 that they "lost"
If it makes you feel better, as someone who had this happen to me Friday, I was right there at my computer checking for five minutes straight before this drop, hopped in the queue immediately, and STILL missed it by 30 minutes...As per usual they do a drop when I'm not able to watch the site. I'm giving up, see you all next year when the revision drops lol (such a first world problem).
Yes. Amazon did refund me.
Yeah mine was supposed to be here Saturday, then a clusterfuck happened and it was supposed to be here yesterday... still waiting..
This sort of happened last time where the console dropped, then went out of stock and 20 minutes later the digital version dropped.
This is the only hope. LOL
Right there with you, shit truly sucksOr mine that Amazon deemed "Undeliverable"
This fucking blows
At least I know the queue is random as fuck so there's no point watching for it
Yeah it's definitely frustrating.This is exactly the point I've gotten to as well. I'm so fed up with this terrible awful ordering system.

I'm going to scratch my tech itch by getting a new M1 Mac Mini instead. Those came out today. Here's to hoping Apple won't make me eat a bunch of L's too.
Yeah, it blocks the captcha that puts you in the queue. Had to disable it in FF to be let in. Didn't matter though, since both FF and Chrome are still 7 min left for queue. >_<I just got in. Thanks Sony. At least I've learned that autorefresher isn't a guarantee. And maybe I shouldn't use ublock? I heard one person say that affects it.
it isnt.
those aren't real times. Its just something flagged on that site. If u ever actually get into one of these sites. They dont actually last more than a minute or 2Lasted 16 mintues this time.

Still got 11 min on both my queues. OTL
There's still a queue, so who knowsWait, did they only drop the disc version? So there's still a chance digital might drop?
