A year and a half of clicking, monitoring Twitter feeds, hoping I'd get a Sony invite, and it finally happened. How shitty of a state we're in that it's that damn hard to get a current gen console.

What kills me is I was finally able to get one from a friend's brand spanking new PS account getting an invite. My account is 15 years old, and not one invite.

Anyone else still trying to get one, or for those that have, how soon were you able to get it?

I got mine a while back. I just got one of those Gamestop emails saying it was gonna be in stock at X and Y time. It was a shitty bundle, but it had Miles Morales, a 2nd controller, $20 for the PS store and some shit ass sports game that was immediately traded in.

I got one this week too, walmart got a batch that was only available online to walmart plus customers, which I had wanted to try since dumping amazon prime anyway. $12 to get an exclusive chance sounded like it might work, and it did.

I had only been looking at the market a few weeks, this was the only time I sat in front of the computer waiting for them to go live.

Havent had a playstation since ps2. The new gran tourismo with haptic feedback sold me.

Still casually searching. Playing through the Switch backlog in the meantime. I'm not in much of a rush, especially at this point. PS5 Pro will probably be announced in 2024.

I got one on release, was luck more than anything. I had to buy a bundle but 2 controllers and 1 year PSN wasn’t too bad a deal.

GT7 is really the best reason to get one now.

What's the problem, if you need one I've got a few in stock right now

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-PlayStation-5-PS5-Disc-Edition-Console-BRAND-NEW-NEXT-DAY-DELIVERY-/334419393660?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Can do something on ebay fees etc if we go outside Ebay.

Got a bundle from Sam's Club last month. The bundle included an extra controller, $100 PS credit, and the controller charging station. Not a horrible bundle, but also had to pay for a Sam's Club membership, which I'll never use.

GT7 with a proper wheel setup is the best time playing games I've had in a long, long time. 🤌🤌🤌

IDK where the info came from and I don't care but I basically used the autistic powers of a friend in full FOMO mode to alert me to when new lots would become available in what timeframe, so I basically just logged into an ecommerce site at launch and bought one, no hassle. Thanks friend!

...I wish I bought a switch instead though since aside from GT7 all I play on it are PS4 titles.

I would rather buy a $3k laptop than deal with the bullshit of getting a PS5...which I did. But if they ever end up on store shelves again and get a revision that makes them not look so damn ugly, I'll snag one.
