Sony Playstation Gaming Showcase [2020-09-16]

It was basically the opposite of this

 

No idea what’s going on in the rest of the world but in the UK some retailers opened pre-orders this morning (GAME at 8am, Amazon at 9am) and others (incl. Argos) are opening pre-orders on Friday morning.

I had registered pre-interest on a bunch of sites and got advance notice about the pre-orders by email.

I get some people in some regions wanted/needed/expected more notice and some retailers broke the date.

 

It was supposed to open midnight today, but it opened at 9-11 yesterday about 5 hrs after the show ended. Things started to move so fast, I was not sure what time they were supposed to open, but 8am this morning everything was OOS. I've been trying to see if I could get luckily on a new skid arriving, but no dice so far. I may be SOL for a while.

 

Again, I don't know what was supposed to happen in other territories but the pre-order deadlines have held in they UK. I guess some retailers are just desperate for post-COVID business elsewhere.

We're are used to waiting and queuing here! I wish you good luck. I recall from the PS4 launch that launch stock at many retailers was renewed a couple of times before launch so good luck!

 

The truth is that on ps5 we have partial informations. I would not buy it blindly. For instance... ps4-pro enhanced games ? Are they BC runnable ? Who knows ?

 

Let's do the console warring in some other thread. No reason to bring xbox to this thread.
