I am having ordering issues in the UK. I eventually got logged into the site and placed my PS5 pro order after having been in a queue for hours. Then after I clicked on confirm your purchase it said - 'something went wrong' and I don't know whats occurred. It still remained in my basket, so I tried once again and the same thing happened. I have the available funding on my card etc, so that is not the issue and it worked fine last week when I bought the £99 disc add on.

It's now bloody well logged mw out and I'm now in the queue again. What a fu(k!ng $h1t show so far.

where-eagles-dare212d ago

Phew, mission finally successful and I have got my Pro ordered. I used a different laptop. Still had issues though with the payment part being sluggish confirming my bank details, but this must obviously be down to the huge ammount of traffic currently on the site.

andy85212d ago

Nice work I had the same issue. I realised it wasn't working with visa so I tried PayPal and that worked

darthv72212d ago

I at least wanted a controller... and I got one, but its the edge not the regular as those were all sold out. Even at other retailers. I never had an edge before.

peppeaccardo212d ago

Got mine right after the pre-order windows opened up.
Just curious to see if the external drive is still available for it.

where-eagles-dare212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

That is tremendous news that you both managed to get your Pro consoles. I was on the UK site first thing 8am this morning bagging mine. I really wanted to snaffle myself the 30th anniversary grey controller as well but it had already sold out.

Thankfully, it looks as though I will be able to get one on the 21st November, when they are released to the retailers, so all is good.

edit info for peppeaccardo. Unfortunately the PS5 external drive is currently unavailable on the UK PlayStation direct website. Further edit. As of right now, the external disc drive 3:15 UK time is available at Currys the retailer website for £99 with payment options available.

Babadook7212d ago

I feel your pain. At least you had a chance. I don't think us Canadians even had that. No PS Direct here.

GamerRN211d ago

Don't worry, they still didn't sell out, so you'll have no problem getting one

90sGamingWasBetter212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

I had the same problem, I opened an incognito page and had to queue up again, I managed to get a 30th anniversary PS Portal. I was oh so tempted to just get the Pro while I was on there but it would have cleared out my savings lol.

GamerRN212d ago

I had trouble with Chrome on Android, but finally got my order with IE on Android (I'm at work)

where-eagles-dare212d ago

Exact same with me. It was my Chrome book laptop that was giving me problems, I used my other laptop & bingo it worked right away thankfully. Congratulations on getting your order.

GamerRN212d ago

For some reason with Chrome I couldn't add to cart... Weird.

I was panicky, but looks like it's still available!!

They should sell the Console Faceplates separately. Sure, you won't get the grey interior, but at least they're still cool for those not looking to upgrade.

darthv72212d ago

There will be 3rd party knock offs... I got a set of spider man ones when the originals sold out.

ocelot07212d ago

Yup I got Spiderman ones from alliexpress for the slim and they look just like the ones Sony released. Just doesn't have a playstation logo top corner and the quality is really good.

Babadook7212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

I'm literally considering taking the unit apart and painting the interior parts. It looks better with the dark grey vs black interior.

OtterX212d ago

Yea for sure, if you can pull it off w a nice glossy coat, go for it! I'm afraid I'd screw it up.

gold_drake212d ago

yeh it sold out crazy where i am too. ha

ravens52212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

Said I was in the waiting question. Refreshed, gone. O well 🤷🏽

gold_drake212d ago

right?
it was gone like that haha

Master-Tonberry212d ago

Missed out of the limited edition but got a standard Pro ordered. The Limited Edition was actually less expensive than I thought.

Eonjay212d ago

Yeah, that was actually very cheap. Can wait to see the insane EBAY listings...

jznrpg212d ago

They have bids around 4k.

Seraphim212d ago

all those influencers/streamers need to get one to flex on the peasants.

Babadook7212d ago

Yeah I snagged the white model too.

darthv72212d ago

I was pretty close with my predictions. I was right about the pro and slim but the price on the edge and portal i was off by a little bit.

raWfodog212d ago

And some people are thinking that there will be plenty of PS5 Pros in-stock (not sold-out) when they finally release.

darthv72212d ago

the regular pro is not sold out, no need to rush to get one because there will be lots at even retailers in november.

Its the 30th anniversary that people are going crazy over because those ARE limited. The regular ones are not limited. you can pre-order a regular pro right now, no queues to wait in as all of those 30th anniversary items are sold out so no more need for the queue on ps direct.

Profchaos212d ago

It's the day after for me in Australia pre orders started 24 hours ago and I can still get a pro from EB games without effort still showing stock.

The 30th edition was instantly out of stock everywhere it was a battle to get my duelsense.

Sony number each pro and set a cap on them so of course it was going to be a scalpers wet dream they are now selling for almost tripple value

Popsicle212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

I was able to get the standard pro also, but I am still a bit concerned. My bank says I’m good to go and my card is active, the pro shows in my order history, I have an order id, but I have yet to receive a confirmation email for the order and it’s been 6 hours. Is you or anyone else having this issue? Should I be concerned or am I over thinking it?

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH212d ago

I received my order confirmation within 10 mins. I bought the anniversary dual edge and the Pro together. They sent me a confirmation for the controller first then about 30 mins later one for the console. You may want to check your spam or trash folder if you haven’t already. You should have received one by now.

Popsicle212d ago

@ Speak Truth I appreciate the response! It’s not in spam either. Shows everywhere I can look (PlayStation Direct Store, bank transaction), except email confirmation. Has me a bit concerned. I know they have had overwhelming volume over the last 24 hours, but 6 hours seems like a long time.

Popsicle212d ago

Update: in case anyone had the same issue I did. It took 12 hours and 20 minutes before my confirmation email came through. They are working through what has been a busy 24+ hours for them.

Honestly, that'd a great price, you cant even buy them indivually for that. It's a shame it went in about 2 seconds 😂

Oblivion Remastered Breaks 4 Million Players in 4 Days

Bethesda Game Studios writes: We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!

Obscure_Observer14h ago

Congrats goes to Todd and everyone at Bethesda and team Xbox for another huge milestone!

Hopefully after this huge success, Phil might greenlit New Vegas Remastered powered by UE5 as well.

Fingers crossed!

lukasmain12h ago

I wish for, at the very least, maybe Fallout 3 remaster? I mean the success of the show proves that not just hardcore gamers are ready for a great updated Fallout game. I believe it could potentially be even more successful than the Oblivion remaster. But I do like your idea of a New Vegas UE5 , because I actually never played that. Bethesda are better under Microsoft, I agree with you now after this "remaster". It's much cheaper and faster to do something like this for an old classic game. Reminds me of when Capcom started doing that with RE2. Gamer goodwill became skyhigh for Capcom. Fingers crossed indeed

--Onilink--17m ago

F3 Remastered already came out on the court documents, so unless it was cancelled, which sounds unlikely as it would the best they can hope to have to match any releases of the TV show since F5 isn’t coming out any time soon.

That said, I do agree that if this has proven to be a hit and I don’t see why F3 wouldn’t be if it gets the same level of treatment, they will probably want to do more

anast13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

It's on GamePass. According to Steam DB: it has a 190k peak, which is not close to 4 mil. It didn't even reach 500k on Twitch stats and owner estimations are hovering around 1 mil or less.

Well done, despite not getting exact sales, this is still great news because the budget for this and the development time wouldn't have been much at all when compared to a full 6 or 7 year development window and the cost that would entail. So it does seem like a great success and even better when you consider that they shadow-dropped it without paid marketing. Hope this team is already past pre-production on another "remaster" of another classic, I'm personally hoping for Fallout 3 remaster

Microsoft realised how stupid they had been and delayed following Sega's example.
There you go MS, worldwide lots more people own PS5 or PC than Xbox. You got the money you're desperate for.

To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software.

"To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software."

MS will continue to release new consoles as they´ll continue and make tons of money out PC, PS5 and Switch 2 as well.

Gamers on other platforms will happily pay full price for amazing Xbox games while we get everything day one on Game Pass.

It´s a win win for everyone.
