I managed to get a bundle through GameStop. I imagine there's no way to return the extra stuff because that'd kinda defeat the purpose of hogtying people to bundles, right?qbert posted:Ended up ordering the $750 disc bundle from GameStop which comes with a 2nd controller I won't use and an extra game I don't want, but it's otherwise fine. Oh, yeah, this.

Welp, I got a Target pre-order in, but I'm super paranoid they're going to cancel it ahead of time, so I also got a backup bundle at Gamestop that isn't too terrible. It has one game I don't want, but everything else in it is stuff that I do want. I can return th But if Target keeps my order, I'll just cancel the bundle.

I don't know if they've changed their policy, but when I got my PS4 it came as a bundle. I was able to return the unwanted game for in-store credit, which I think I used to buy TLOU on PS3 at the time.

Chrs posted:In 10 years you'll be able to pick up a PS5 for like $50 Reminds me how I purchased a PS3 last year for $80. I still remember my stupid rear end friends buying one for $600 at launch. They could have saved over $500 if they just waited like I did. Suckers.

I have never bought a console on launch from an online retailer and I don't plan on doing that this gen either. I'll pre-order local and pick up local or I'll wait.

gonna be just like the PS2 launch shortages imo, either: you manage a preorder and will spend 2 months waiting and not knowing if you'll get one - OR - you don't manage a preorder and will spend 2 months waiting and not knowing if you'll get one

Amazon.de still has Disc PS5s in stock and is now shipping internationally - VAT gets deducted if you do so outside Eurozone, so the console ends up costing 431 Euros (507 USD) instead of 500 Euros. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B08H93ZRK9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

SubponticatePoster posted:What's exceedingly weird is Amazon doesn't have it available for preorder. Wondering if they didn't get the memo and are still going to put them up tomorrow. Amazon U.K. emailed me at about half past midnight to say they’re going live from 9am tomorrow morning, so I guess Amazon US might follow suit for whatever time zone they usually pick for the states.

Am I reading this correctly, the PS Plus Collection will be available to PS4 and PS5 owners alike? I feel this is worded a bit ambiguously. quote:For PlayStation Plus members, we’ll have a special new offering on PS5 – the PlayStation Plus Collection**. PS5 owners with PS Plus will be able to download and play a curated library of PS4 games that defined the generation, like Batman Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, God of War, Monster Hunter: World, Persona 5 and many more. The PS Plus Collection will be an added benefit to the existing PS4 benefits that PS Plus members receive for a single subscription price.

When they say "added benefit to the existing PS4 benefits" they mean that PS5 subscribers will have access to: - all the benefits currently available to PS+ subscribers, including monthly free games. - an additional PlayStation Plus Collection that includes all those titles they showed - this does not have to be claimed in a specific month, but is something you always have access to if you're subscribed to PS+ and own a PS5.

Given that you're probably just claiming PS4 games in the storefront I dunno why you wouldn't be able to download and play them on PS4 also

See, this is why I was so over the moon once I could drive and earn my own money. As a kid the answer to that stuff was always "No, ask for it for Christmas/your birthday." I still had a mountain of games as a kid so I did just fine, but buying stuff on launch day was like going to the moon. Yes it was possible and people had done it, but lol you'll never do it.

LionArcher posted:Went back to Gamestop and got a pre order in. Have the receipt and everything which is nice. Worker mentioned that it's not official yet but looking like a PS4 Pro trade in towards a PS5 will be worth $200, so happy about the upgrade only costing me $300. Holy poo poo, that'd be a pretty good deal if it becomes official.

The only stores available for pickup when I preordered were in the GTA for some reason, so I just went for delivery. Still says the 16th for me. I don't care if I miss launch day, as long as I have one that won't be canceled I'm good.

Samurai Sanders posted:Was I just incredibly lucky not to experience either one of those for the PS2, three, or four? I just walked into all three of those without a pre-order. The PS2 was an outlier where they did not expect high amount of demand because a lot of people wanted it as a DVD player.
