Same except I resisted the urge to buy a bundle. Figure by the time BF comes around, hopefully forced MSRP bundles will no longer be around. The manager told me they got a bunch in on Saturday and they had about 15 left on Sunday morning between disk/no disk and Forbidden bundles.
Every time I read disc version I thought it came with a physical game. Easy pass. I presume for future “limited edition” systems this will be the norm just like the god of war and horizon collectors editions.PSA: The Horizon bundle is a download code, despite being with a disc system.ing lame.
Seems to me that this is a sneaky way of recouping some of the cost of the console that they’re eating. A download essentially costs Sony nothing even though they charge more for the bundle, while a disc would mean putting a space in the box for a disc/case, not to mention the cost of the disc/case itself. Maybe all that costs them $5, but it adds up. Not saying it’s right, but I see why a corporation would do it.PSA: The Horizon bundle is a download code, despite being with a disc system.
Yup. No PS5 bundle for me then. Glad my Uncharted 4 PS4 bundle came with a disc years ago.PSA: The Horizon bundle is a download code, despite being with a disc system.
No.
Be patient. It likely was an employee making an error in marking delivered. It’s on a truck somewhere ready to be delivered if it followed tracking all the way through.
Did your PS5 ever arrive? I had a expensive order marked as delivered even though no UPS truck had come by. I thought he had delivered to the wrong address so I freaked out and filed a claim, but he had just marked it as delivered in advance, which is a bad idea because it can lead to the customer freaking out.
If you don't receive it today when you were informed it was delivered, I would contact Sony and flag it as missing. Ask if they can flag the serial number as missing to see where it gets activated. UPS should be able to find out the driver who marked it as delivered.
No experience with PS Direct, but have professional experience dealing with UPS. You're not going to get any kind of refund from UPS. If the driver delivered it (or scanned it delivered), UPS will treat this as a stolen item. Not their problem. They will suggest that you file a police report for a stolen item and contact the seller.
I’ve been reading several rumors lately that Sony’s going to raise the price $100 a la Meta Quest, so you may want to jump on it if you get the invite.
Probably not going to happen. Meta raised the price not just because component prices increased but also because their ad revenue is down a lot and R&D spend around the metaverse is up. They basically can’t let subsidizing the hardware eat into their bottom line.
You’re probably right, but nothing surprises me anymore
My bad I miss interpreted an article from M$ earnings call. Best selling console of Q1 and Q2 2022 were the series consoles. PS5 has a few million more sold from prior years. It’s leading by 4.8 million units 18.8 vs 13.8.
Smallest of rumblings that Sony wants to already refresh the system AND bump the cost up. Shortages have hit them the hardest I think to the point they may now be losing money on the consoles. Explains why they're meekly trying to stir shit up over the Actiblizzion acquisition because COD is likely to be a saving grace this year for digital sales. Game Pass really put them in their place and now they're struggling to compete (by their own admission).
And that's to be expected from someone who has been sitting at the top since the original Playstation days. I remember watching an interview with Sony execs on Jim Cramer's CNBC show back in 2003 and Sony acted back then as if Microsoft had no chance and were irrelevant. Times have changed and when you are on top the only way you can go is down.
Was that a glitch at Best Buy?I signed up for Amazon's invitation to buy a PS5 (disc version, $500) a couple months ago and just now received the invitation. I pretty much had given up weeks ago so it was a big surprise when I got the "Congrats, you're invited" email today. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is on sale for $40, so I think that will be my first PS5 game.
With only around 650gb usable on the PS5 ssd, I'm now regretting that I didn't buy the 4tb gen4 SSD when Best Buy sold it for $300 a few weeks ago.
I don't know, hope it wasn't. I'm going to have to keep an eye out to see if it drops to 300 again.
Thank you. I grabbed one.
Doubt it makes a difference but I was wondering if it has anything to do with how much you use Amazon … cause we use it for almost everything we buy - from groceries to diapers.
don't you have to request invites?
?
