I just received an email from Gamestop that said below:

PlayStation fans,​
A very limited number of PlayStation 5 console bundles will be available today - online only - and will go live soon.​
Be sure to clear your cart, get logged in and ready to go.​
If you're not able to get one, please know we'll continue to notify you when more consoles are available.​

Should I leave it in the cart? Or does it not even make a difference at all?
Dam it was a pretty nice bundle too. Spider-Man, two controllers and a $20 card.

After I got the confirmation email from Gamestop I went to bed feeling pretty good. Then I woke up a few hours later from a text from my bank's fraud alert system that the charge has been declined, haha. I was able to get the bank to allow the charge and now I'm just waiting for Gamestop to take my money. I really hope this doesn't screw things up but the bundle is still on my account so fingers crossed.

I never would have thought it would take this much time/effort to get a PS5, sheesh.

You should be able to login to your Gamestop account and try to check the status. If they send you the gift certificate today, you know you're good!

I think I got one! I got into the queue for the PS5 direct thing and went back to work, figuring nothing.

Well after a few minutes I got right in and it let me order. Got an alert from my credit card on the charge too. Says 2 day free shipping.

We'll see if it actually happens.

My order says preparing to ship. It definitely charged my credit card, but I won't believe it until it actually arrives.

Anyway, what's a good wired headset to buy for it? My old Astro stuff is all optical port and that's a no-go on next gen consoles for some reason.

My unit isn't set to arrive until next Friday, the week of waiting is going to be brutal.

Did you purchase any games with it? I got the Spidey bundle and even though its a game I already played (minus the DLC) I'm looking forward to the enhanced version.

I've been gaming on the XSX since it launched in Nov. and once I get the PS5 I plan to switch to that platform for a while. I really want to see how the dual-sense controller feels. If I like the demo that releases later today I think I'll go with the PS5 version of Outriders so long as there are no major differences between platforms.

I'd like to thank fellow forum member U2. If it wasn't for him alerting me to Gamestop's restock I would still be looking to purchase a PS5.

THANK YOU U2!!!!!

I just got the regular $500 disk bundle, no games. I bought God Of War ages ago for $20 on sale and never touched it, so I figure I'll start there now that it is updated for PS5. I'll probably grab the Spider Man bundle eventually, but will hold off for a sale.

I'm still in sort of in disbelief that I'm actually going to get one until I get a shipping notice. I keep checking my phone waiting for an order cancelled message.

Majority of development staff have been let go, but ASOBI Team remains…

Wow, feel bad for those being let go. I think this is a mistake. I think making games for a wider audience is a good thing. But you can't discount the successes of games made for a specific market, in this case Japan. If you look you'll see many games made for the Japanese market that went on to find global success, franchises like Persona or Yakuza all have loyal followings outside the intended Asian market. But if this Studio as its been reported hasn't had a hit in a while then I can see it being closely watched when cost-cutting comes up. I just don't like to read about anyone losing their job......not ever but especially during this time we're living in.

I've had mine for a week and a half, Gamestop still shows it's preparing to ship. :banana:

Ok, that's funny. :laugh:

On my account over at Gamestop is has a countdown of days until it arrives. I'm curious as to why I have to wait until next Friday but it must be due to their shipping method. Like most I've been doing a lot of shopping online lately and noticed this pattern with many that don't give the option to choose a shipping method. I would happily pay extra for express shipping.

Gamestop shipped mine much earlier than I was expecting, maybe you'll luck out too.
