PS5 Pro Pre-Orders Will Be Exclusive to PS Direct for Two Weeks

A late-minute tweak to a PS Blog post has revealed that PS5 Pro pre-orders will be temporarily exclusive to Sony’s own direct-to-consumer storefront PS Direct – assuming you live in a country where the outlet is available.

Describing this console as 'trash' just makes you look like a Sony hater.

Gotta love all the disagrees without knowing my plan. If I buy from the PS store I don't get cashback. If I buy from a retail store I get cashback. So I'll save £60.

jznrpg247d ago (Edited 247d ago )

I will get attempt to get mine through direct I got everything setup already as I’ve ordered other items through PS direct.

mkis007246d ago

Was able to get a ps5 on launch day from direct a few hours after they opened, so assuming they worked out the few kinks, it should be pretty seamless. I can't imagine scalpers will target this one anyway with the price/sentiment being what it is. The fact that ordering one is tied to psn account is how all day 1 preorders should be done to avoid scalpers. I believe you needed a certain amount of activity to be eligible for ordering from them at launch.

Amplitude246d ago (Edited 246d ago )

Every console launch ever from every manufacturer is always the exact same. Limited quantities are shipped at launch, prompting scalpers to slurp up all the units and sell for $$$$ which suddenly makes it a hot item and makes people more inclined to impulse buy when they do see one in the wild. Also makes the MSRP seem more reasonable.

It even happened (and worked wonders) with the freaking PS Portal lol I'm sure they'll do it again.

mkis007246d ago

Scalpers lose if they can't find a buyer. Idk if Sony charges for return shipping on consoles, but that would give me pause if I were trying to scalp.

they dont need to do this, its not like its gonna sold out lol, i just wish it failed misserably with that kind pricing and minor improvement.. Sony is becoming new apple. Now im really glad im slowly moving to pc space rebuying i have on my ps account with sale discount

BQ32246d ago

If your moving to pc and you think this is crazy pricing for how much additional performance you get then I some news for you when you start thinking about updating graphics cards and cpus lol. I paid $1700 for my graphics card alone.

I have a good gaming PC and PS5. Guess what? PS5 is used more often. It's just more convenient. Currently I can't play Dragon Age Origins on PC because it started crashing. Every now and then there's some kind of update that'll cause an issue. Is it mod or game update you spent time on checking forums how to fix the problem. Agree though that games look and perform better on PC but that's expected when you spent £2000 on it

tagzskie246d ago

i also have some news for you guys, though my pc right now is not super pc just like you guys, i dont plan to spend gpu for that kind of price. My deck is more used than my pc afterall. I dont want to deal with the 10$ upgrade like in ps5 and free online is win in my book so the way i see is everybody does have different kind of situation and not alls gonna buy youre 2000$ gpu

andy85246d ago

It will though. They always do no matter the price. The addon disc drive already going out of stock tells a story

I guess that means the game is trash?

No it's good but for $70 and Denuvo DRM on PC hard pass.

This game just didn't excite me like the last 2. I'm passing on it this time.

LucasRuinedChildhood1h ago

Could be affected by:
- A percentage of people will play this on GamePass which the last 2 games did not launch on.
- A percentage of players bought the Deluxe Edition which included early access, reducing the peak as players will start playing it on different days.

PRIMORDUS50m ago

Price most likely the issue, and while most don't know or care about Denuvo on PC, if you lower the price I'm sure it will sell more on all platforms.

I don't understand where this is coming from, they act like they failed in that department with the first game and that it was a massive issue for them when it reality they did so well on it a lot of Japanese devs praised it.

Are they scared western journalists are going to do the same thing they did for the first game where they don't outright say it but they give off the impression there's some sort of racist undertones with a game set in Japan being made by Western developers.

jznrpg3h ago

They literally went to Japan so where does western journalists come from?

It's not like they tried to pass off a half tori

Well, you don't get a sea of pink sakura petals as shown in the thumbnail above.
I've literally been stood in an avenue of blossoming trees this week and, while you do get petals on the floor, it doesn't look like that. That thumbnail looks like someone spilled several cans of pink paint all over the floor.
I also took multiple photos.

Knushwood Butt2h ago

Furthermore, that size and number of trees would not produce that volume of petals.

Don't believe me? Come out here. I'm literally a 5 min drive from fantastic views of Youteizan. Cherry blossom is still in full swing but will be over in the next week.
