Just got my pre order in via playstation direct.

darthv72306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

I completely forgot about this... I see its all out of stock. which is weird as pre-orders should never go out of stock. The more pre-orders, the more they produce.

I just seen GS had them for $67.99 for Pro members... DAMN!

Oh wow sold out in the UK we well. Glad I pre ordered mine this morning. Mad how quick it's sold out of pre orders. Looks like it's the Spiderman controller and faceplates all over again.

jznrpg306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

I just got one through US PS Direct 2pm cst. I did get in line hours ago and forgot about it but it let me order one /shrug

darthv72306d ago

Looks like Sony made them available again. Got me two. One from Best buy and one from PS Direct.

Pyrofire95306d ago

Yeah, you'd hope so, but for larger scale products, or for any other number of reasons, the manufacturing is paid for ahead of time for a certain amount then sold to people in one large first batch then restock as they need or desire going forward.
It ends up being that generally only small scale limited runs that are months out that produce as many as are preordered first in my experience. The way it's done here allows for peoples purchases to arrive sooner and all at once from purchase date.

DazaMc306d ago

It's a limited edition controller, LIMITED edition.

Ugh, I just bought my first extra DualSense 2 months ago (Silver). They're so pricey, but man is this sexy. I may just end up w 3 controllers soon. XD

FPSRUSSIA306d ago

Iceball2000306d ago

Got mine, GameStop Canada. $100 CAD rubbles.

Babadook7306d ago

Looks like it might be would out for now. Sorry for late reply, just got home from work.

Chocoburger306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

This pre-order set up in North America has been a mess.

PlayStation Direct is broken, can't log in, can't check out. Its also been removed from the site, so you can't add it to cart anymore. Great!

GameStop requires you to be a Pro Member in order to pre-order it. So give them money in order to give them more money. Genius! (Go F yourselves GameStop!).

Target was 30 minutes late to have the product show up in search, and when it shows up, its immediately sold out. Nice.

Best Buy and Wal-Mart still won't list the product. Cool.

Amazon doesn't have it show up in search, you have to use a secret URL to find it. Awesome! This is where I pre-ordered it without any issues, once I found the secret URL on PushSquare. Its also sold out now on Amazon.

I did not expect this much demand for an Astro Bot controller.

CobraKai306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

I promised my kids this controller. I don’t trust Target with preorders, so i went the GameStop route. At least i know GS delivers on their preorders

Seraphim306d ago

placed an order at 6:56pm EST, no issue. As of this moment it looks like they're still available at Direct too.

Pyrofire95306d ago

oh weird, I must have hit it at a randomly good time. I was reminded about it on Twitter or something. Went to Playstation Direct, had a slight struggle signing in but just took a minute, then checked out no problem. Ordered at 6:39pm pacific time Friday.

smashman98306d ago

Has this actually been a nightmare? I casually pre-ordered mine on direct at like 3pm with no issues.

Chocoburger305d ago (Edited 305d ago )

Yes it was when it first launched, Sony's site wasn't functioning properly. But then things improved while I was asleep. Then of course sold out, but I got my Amazon pre-order in before that happened.

Playstation owners buy games.

Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.

InUrFoxHole48d ago

Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.

Bathyj48d ago

Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.

The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.

Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.

andy8548d ago

Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)

VenomUK48d ago

@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”

This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.

ravens5247d ago

InUrFoxHole, its wild that you think that's wild lmao. 🤯. You buy your food from the grocery store?? Ugggh. You should get Factor. Who pays for food anymore when you can pay a subscription to receive food for "free". Disgusting.

Sound stupid? It is.

InUrFoxHole47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

@Bathy
That's some cope there. You think the healthiest console is the one that doesn't even provide their gamers with their exclusive games? That crazy talk man. The healthiest is Nintendo and that's 💯 not even a debate. MS provides gamers with games. Sony provides you with MS games. Enjoy

@andy
You have broke brain. Gamepass isn't free. It's a sub service. Jesus n4g knows how to pick'em

andy8547d ago

@InUrFoxHole notice I put free in ' ' these? Doesn't take a genius. Every game that comes out on Xbox you'll see this comment "is this coming to gamepass".

goken48d ago

2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.

This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.

badz14948d ago

The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!

dveio48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Hogwart's, Indiana, Astro Bot & Monster Hunter - that's a pretty nice top 4 once again.

I bet MachineGames are quite happy about the sales pouring in.
