I solved a couple of captchas and have been sitting in the queue for like 20 minutes, then just now it suddenly sent me to another captcha. Did that send me to the back of the line? Wtf is up with this system?

ps direct queue is up, I got in hella quick this time. I know I said yesterday I'd be giving up but for real, if I don't get it this time I am!

I got the less than a minute message at first and now it's up to over an hour...here's hoping.

Yeah I don’t know whether or not that bumps you out of your spot, happened to me yesterday. Now I’ve got the “PS5 consoles are limited” message but still over an hour...might be borked.

It might, I got in at the drop, before any tweets and I’m at 42 minutes as of 4:53 EST.

I didn’t get bumped out of my spot and my time is fluctuating between 59 and 50 mins. I don’t know what that means at all. I got in just after the Solelinks tweet though.

E: now at 27

It kept allowing me to select different locations for pickup, saying it would be available this weekend but when I'd select them it would say they're unavailable. Thought maybe they were still updating stock but looks like nope.

I think a good Avengers game would have done gangbusters, the marvel fatigue is not really that widespread. Tons of people are still hyped for the upcoming marvel slate. I’m personally still into it, maybe a little bit less so than 5 years ago, but I passed up this avengers game because it looked like trash, not because I’m tired of it. Miles morales is doing great, isn’t it?

From what I understand Sony is actually limiting the connections to one per IP so realistically that's one try unless they're all on different VPNs.

Agreed, I think it lowers my chances of getting one but it definitely removes the stress from having to be lightning quick on the button. I'm happier just leaving it up to chance rather than reflexes.

It runs great but it’s just as busted as the PC version, bugwise. It crashes every 90 minutes or so for me at the moment and there are more than a handful of bugged unfinishable gigs.

If you already have a decent pc there’s no point in double dipping, especially now when CDPR don’t deserve another loving penny of anyone’s money until they fix their poo poo.

Ok that's what I thought, so not actually different than the pc version in that regard

so uh are PS5s still basically sold out everywhere or what. is there even like projections on when theyll be moving out another big shipment?

feel like it hasn’t been this actually impossible to find a console since like the PS2 or Wii or something. even when the Switch was supposedly not available anywhere I just walked into a target and bought one

They’re sort of drip releasing them at various retailers and through Sony directly. You kinda have to follow various Twitter accounts like Wario64 and Solelinks to really even have a shot because they get bought up within seconds usually.

Some people are saying their Wal Mart PS5s have shipped. I ordered mine at like the 3:20 drop on the 15th and it's still processing.

If any of you guys ordered a WalMart Ps5 and received a confirmation email that it was shipping, could you sound off please? I am curious

I ordered on the 17th, still processing. Would also like to know if anyone else’s ships.

The media remote is kinda lovely anyway. It's a Roku knockoff, complete with non-programmable app launcher buttons.

Well that sucks, but I mostly want it because half the time I use my console for streaming and blu rays and I hate using controllers for media.

I did a pick up for a console last Saturday at my local Best Buy. I got an email an hour before opening that it was ready. Went there immediately and there were about 50 people waiting in line. Pulled into a contactless parking spot and clicked on the I’m here link. In less than two minutes the console was sitting in my passenger seat and I was on my way. 10/10. Would Best Buy again.

Ugh I wish I got mine from Best Buy. I have to rely on Walmart and FedEx not to gently caress everything up.
