Alright, so who is joining the fun tomorrow to try and snag a PS5 Pro regular or 30th Anniversary Edition (price still not released) on PS Direct?



I'm going to try and get a regular Pro, but I won't be as rabid about it as I was for the PS5, as I imagine there will be restocks before the release date and I'll still have a chance to get one at Amazon, Best Buy, etc. on 10/10.

Will look, no fricking way i'm scripting bots to get one, not worth it. Also i didn't think the anniversary edition was pre-order tomorrow?

Yup, it starts tomorrow:

quote:

In regions where direct.playstation.com* is available, players with a PlayStation Network account can pre-order the following PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection products exclusively from PlayStation starting September 26. In regions where direct.playstation.com isn’t available, pre-orders begin starting September 26 at participating retailers.

PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle
PlayStation Portal Remote Player – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition (standalone)
DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition (standalone)


Celebrating 30 years of PlayStation with a nostalgic look

With only 12,300 units of the PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle available, I imagine you'll need a bot to even get one. I'm hoping the regular Pro is much easier to get.

Tomorrow they're being sold on the PS Direct store: LINK (no product page URL yet)

A specific time hasn't been published, but in the past pre-orders went live at 10am EST.

PlayStation UK tweeted that their pre-orders go live at 10am, but still no word about the US timing.

The controllers, yes, those aren't limited. Not sure about the 30th Slim or the Portal.

Confirmed the preorder time is 10am EST:

Based on launches in other countries earlier this morning, it seems that the PS5 Pro 30th bundle sold out almost instantly (duh), but the regular PS5 Pro did not.

Queue is already up on PS Direct.

Estimated wait for me right now is 20 min. Not that it really matters since you'll still get kicked out before the pre-sale starts at 10am EST.

Current queue message:



Doesn't appear that the PS5 Digital 30th Anniversary bundle is limited to 12,300 units (and neither are the Portal 30th Anniversary, DualSense Edge 30th Anniversary, or DualSense 30th Anniversary).

According to the page once you go through the que your spot to preorder is reserved.

I've never seen the queue say the line is paused. I guess maybe they're not letting anyone in until pre-orders start?

That's actually a really good price for the Pro 30th Anniversary bundle:

It's probably paused until the ones that went thru the que are able to order. Probably doing this to avoid bots

No. It doesn't start until 9 central

They did this in all other countries already. The pause is just a placeholder until the actual time for pre-orders start.

I do assume if you were able to get in the que before the pause, you will keep your place. Which is unfortunate for me as I did not get on the site until the pause. 8ish. Since everywhere I looked said 9.
