The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

[Bad Religion]

Oh you got one!

so what is the situation with Canada (pricing, availability, etc.)

Nightmare.

We had close to a record snow storm here on the weekend, so that will 100% delay shipments. I called Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, Super Store, and EB Games and asked how they could justify their September pre-orders delivering later than the day-of, in store pick-ups that needed to be ordered online on the release date. They all said, "Sorry, but just how it is".

So theoretically, Jim could wake up on the 12th, jump on Walmart.ca, catch a PS5 for pick-up, and head over to Walmart to get it. Meanwhile the system I preordered in September is set to deliver November 16th. EB Games and Shoppers I couldnt get a preorder, while Superstore confirmed my order back to me, but then said it was a "glitch" and that it sold out before mine was processed.

All told, for the disc-based PS5 plus an additional controller (because Walmart ONLY offered bundles for preorder), I will pay $755 CAD, or roughly $580 USD for the honor of getting my system almost a week late. Almost no digital PS5's were made available anywhere in western Canada to my knowledge. Maybe Calgary, maybe Vancouver.

As I said, I am not too worried. I'll be playing old games on it until probably December anyway. But the mismanagement by so many parties and the lack of customer service by all involved was a little jarring.

Looks like the x box is easy to cop from these tweets I’m seeing. Hopefully it’s a good sign for the ps5

 

[slaughterx]

Easy to cop to me means walking into a store, seeing one, and being able to buy it. Neither of these will be easy to cop anytime soon, but good luck.

I believe that the Jim scenario is what the stores want because Jim may feel inclined to purchase something else from the store.

Na man. I pre ordered on amazon and it still hasn't shipped. hope thursday is not like this.

 

[knappps]

Damn just learned no dolby vision, that might just have sealed the digital version for me.

No dolby vision or atmos on the ps5

It's not. Liken it to people that routinely put "easy cop" in Retro 11 threads while the vast majority strike out. Truth be told it was easier for me to get my order in for 4 PS5's than it was for 3 Xbox's.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Amazon just charged me for the games now just need that system charge

Shipping squad we here lol

2K looks like it plays exactly the same as the current gen

 

[starfox070]

Amazon playing games I hope they don’t send out those delay emails tomorrow like they did for the Xbox. Talking about between launch and December 31.

Valid point, but completely defeats the purpose of preordering a product.

I concur but you know at the end of the day the retailers care about profit

Keep in mind that 2K vid is in 720p unless you go to YouTube and adjust the quality .

That's just your auto setting, mine started the vid at 4k.

 

[D StaXX]

Don't know if it's been posted, but hopefully we get an update tomorrow.

Finally got my Target red debit card and the $40 coupon and put my buy 2 get 1 free order in.

Will probably end up returning Godfall for something else later.

COD Black Ops: Cold War and Assasins Creed Valhalla pre orders are sold out on target.com. Good luck to anyone trying to get what they want in store starting this Thursday.

Besides the colors looking more natural and not as bright as the past gen consoles, gameplay looks identical. I expected more flow in the jerseys or uniforms in general, the movements of the players look identical. They basically went with the graphics that NBA Live was putting out in the past.

 

[tomdiginson]

Flipped my ps5 from gamestop for $790. I'm going to attempt to grab one of these preorders from Target. Jawn gonna pay for itself.
