Series x has been available for days on Amazon.ca (still available) but ps5 sold out and listed in #1 spot. Amazing demand.

My bad. Was showing #1 in PlayStation category not overall. I never see the ps5 in stock. I feel pretty fortunate to get one on launch.
I’m feeling pretty tempted to get a series x, but I just topped up for 2 years of ps plus premium
Without a doubt super high demand for PS5. But stocking continues to be a problem for it. Hopefully it will resolve soon

Why don't you stand in line like your sister and you will get one? Alternatively, if you in the US, check the PS site for drops. Apparently they release new consoles every few days/weeks.It's July of 2022, and where is my PS5?
I didn't register for that and Sony emailed me that I have a PS5 waiting to be purchased.
Uh Sony... That US address is a fake US address

That seems very odd, are we sure the bug isn't with Sony Displays instead of the PS5 since the issues persist even after switching inputs to a different video source like a PC?
Maybe there's something non standard in ways Sony displays work and PS5 vrr works. Combined, kaboom.
Anyway I just realized that I am cursed indeed. Not only bugs casually approached me, now google recommend me news about bugs on Chrome home page ROFL. dear Google, I don't like bugs. Stop bugging me with bugs

And the original Japanese article...
PS5のVRR使用時に液晶モニタの点滅・焼き付きの症状 : 自作とゲームと趣味の日々
【PS5のFWアップデートがあるまでVRR機能の無効化を推奨】 PlayStation 5の可変リフレッシュレート同期機能（VRR）を使用すると一時的な点滅（フリッカー）、さらにディスプレイパネル焼き付きの現象が発生。

The article implies that it's not just Sony displays. Translated to English from the Japanese article:
So it also happens on the Sony monitor and not just on other manufacturer's displays.
The source article also has videos of the issue as well as steps to try reproducing the issue if someone wanted to try potentially damaging their display.
I'd initially have said it was the PS5 doing something incorrectly with VRR, but it also continues to happen once you switch it to PC (they also have a video of it doing it on a PC after switching). This makes me wonder if the PS5 is actually attempting to change things on the display instead of just passing a VRR signal to the display. IE - attempting to change settings in the display or even overwrite the EDID information and that some displays don't like that.
I wouldn't characterize this as burn-in per se. But whatever it is could potentially be a bit concerning if the "flashing" and "flickering" doesn't go away and persists for a long period of time.
I've never seen anything like this before.

in my region PS5 stock finally stabilized, and the price is crashing down to around 10% more than MSRP.
Hopefully there will be PSVR 2 bundle

Same, they've been available in London (and most of the UK I assume) all week. We picked up a second (Digital Edition) because I'm not being out-consoled by London Geezer!
Fine, I'll get a 3rd one for the big bathroom.

Have devs had to test this? Have they known about it and supported it in development? Kinda guess so for other platforms; even Sony's first parties have one eye on PC these days!
