Please can some answer a quick query?
Do I refresh the page regularly? Or will the page automatically update when the PS5 PRO is available for pre-order?

This is the most reasonable thing I’ve ever read on GAF.

Trust me guys, this isn't the iPhone lol. You will have no trouble getting your preorder in if you want it. No need to get up at 4 AM.

I feel like a lot of the people talking about the 4 AM thing are after the Pro Classic, not the Pro.

Robots don’t drop out. We need to be in the front lines or we’ll lose the war against the machines.

Hard to say. Anyone that buys a Pro Classic can make 2-3x (maybe more) their money back if they resell it. No reason not to get it unless you can't afford the upfront cost.

Those who are in on the 30th Anniversary edition already know it will be expensive. Price is of no concern to these folks. There are only 12k of these made and the allotments are disturbed across dozens of countries. These will go quick.

Sadly I bet the majority of the 30th anniversary club will only join said club via a scalper

Just saw the Direct store doesn't take American Express, PayPal or allow Klarna for preorders. LAME!

Exactly everybody listen to this guy. Just relax go buy it when you have a chance. Wait till lunch. Doesn't even have to be on the 26th. Wait a day or two and then go buy it. Sony might drop the price who knows.

Oh glad you said something was just going to use paypal. Need to make sure my new CC is on their system which I don't think it is.

PS Direct is probably the best way to try to get one since you need to have an active PSN account and you can only buy one.

Active PSN account, or a sub as well?

I don't believe this for a second, especially for the 30th anniversary edition.
Which you'll have to do, as in my experience if you leave the Playstation direct website sitting idle for too long it logs you out. I wonder how that will work with a potential queuing system? Once you're placed in the queue will the site keep you logged-in indefinitely? As obviously refreshing could lose your position in the queue? I wasn't around for past releases that used the queuing system so have absolutely no clue.

Looks like GameStop Canada is (at least partially) bringing back the forced bundle approach that were common with regular PS5 for so long...

They do a pre-authorization at time of pre-order. The amount drops after a few business days (depending on your Bank). Then, they re-charge it permanently a day or two before it ships.

I think maybe Sony should have not only required a PSN account but also be on an active subscription. That would help curb some of the bots.

Maybe Canada gamestop got their launch time from Sony.

I think just having an account that's been around for a 1+ years would have been good enough. I don't think you can ship more than 1 console to the same address either though.

Maybe I am biased but for LE items there should be a weighted system in place the longer your account has been active and number of trophies especially plats you have

It’s just surprising they haven’t had any kind of pre reg process like they did for PS5 and PSVR2 launch.Maybe I am biased but for LE items there should be a weighted system in place the longer your account has been active and number of trophies especially plats you have

Still no deets in the OP?
Is tomorrow going to be the PS5 Pro 30th Anniv edition only on the PS Direct store, or will they also do the regular PS5 Pro?
Is the date of October 7th still holding for Best Buy/Amazon/Walmart/Target PS5 Pro pre orders?

Getting the 30th Anniv. Pro is tempting. But if I did get one I’d probably put it up on eBay. I’d be no better than the scalpers.

Yup, aren’t there only like 12,000 of them?
Planning on getting a reg PS5 pro and 2 anniversary controllers. But hoping they limit everything to one per customer so more people get get a chance to get something.

Yeah 12k world wide
Total side note but pro tip to those who don't charge big purchases usually to let your CC company know ahead of time so they dont deny it on first try

Amazon Canada has this note on the preorder page.
- Pre-order for PS5 Pro begins on September 26th, 2024 (7am PT/10am EST).

Same time as other PS Direct pre orders.

I agree with you. They should just let anyone who wants one to sign up for a waiting list sign up and order by seniority ( how long you've been paying for and/or how many months you've stacked of Playstation Plus). there's gotta be some benefit to paying for their useless online toll road.Maybe I am biased but for LE items there should be a weighted system in place the longer your account has been active and number of trophies especially plats you have

If you scalp it right away you're a fool. Check how much those 20th Anniversary PS4's are worth on eBay today, 10 years laterGetting the 30th Anniv. Pro is tempting. But if I did get one I’d probably put it up on eBay. I’d be no better than the scalpers.

My buddy from Gamestop didn't think the regular pros stock would be a problem
And $1200 is about what I expected for the bundle and thought they might even push it higher.
They could have charged $1500 and it would still sell out in seconds

That’s all I want (normal pro) so I am good with that.

Sony will do a credit check, but only charge you once shipped.
