PayPal is the way. Was failing every time the visa validation came up. Switched to Pay Pal, checked out in 30 seconds.

I got a message saying that Best Buy was down and I got kicked back to my cart. I was about to give up but I thought...no, IT. This is the time! I was able to quickly get back into the final section and I was feeling good. Sure enough within a minute of spamming "place order" I got one. Jesus. I don't even really want one of these things. But I got one.

I got one on Amazon soon after it got posted by Wario64. People in the comments on the PS5 product page are pissed about how it went down.
"Very disappointed in Amazon. Some clown found a backdoor link before the ps5 page was even ready to go live and they sold out before ppl who searched the normal way had a chance. Unfair, Amazon!"

Paypal may work now but it sure didn't work earlier.

Nice, I got Best Buy to go through so I have an order at Best Buy and GameStop now. I have confidence that at least one of them won’t be cancelled. Best Buy is for in store pickup and GameStop is shipping.

Very happy to say that after hours of pressing that button on the order screen I have finally completed an order with Best Buy for the disc based PlayStation 5. I have received the confirmation email and have the order now showing up in my history, I cant wait to play Miles Morales Spider-Man and Demon Souls!!!! The issue on my most recent attempts was the Visa authenticator as well, as soon as I switched over to an American Express card it worked on my first try.

Ugh just got my confirmation email and text and 2 minutes later another email and text of “We can’t process payment for...”. Dang.
You "should" be able to enter another card in. When I've had that issue in the past, they gave me a few days to correct it.

Good thing I went on twitter before I went sleep. Thought I was going to be stuck with the xbox for the holidays.

It’s weird because that card seems to have taken now. It’s showing the withdrawal amount on my bank app now and the site said the card was now processed and approved. Maybe it’s just another small glitch with all the other crap we’ve gone through lol?

I don’t mean to make the topic go crazy off course but that Miles Morales Ultimate Edition with the first game; is the first game enhanced then on the PS5? I’m just wondering if it’s worth it or if I’ll get the benefits anyways if I keep my PS4 copy and put it in the PS5?
Not sure how much has been said on upgrades/bc.
o.o; Uhm.. I think they improved some models.. made larger crowds.. new skins, new trophies.. so there's changes..
3D audio, haptic feedback.. other stuff I probably don't remember..

I got one preordered, not even sure if I want it at launch. Just in case. After seeing game and accessory prices makes XSX look more attractive game pass and using x1 accessories wise. If only they had better exclusives.

Do we get those upgrades if we put the PS4 disc in the PS5 or is this version that comes with the Miles Morals Ultimate a more enhanced version?

3D audio, haptic feedback.. other stuff I probably don't remember.. but they also made it sound like you can get a free upgrade if you have the PS4 version..
The nice thing is that the PS5 can replace the PS4 altogether pretty much. I think I can just plug in my 4 TB external HD that already has the games installed and pop in the PS4 disc and I can continue where I left off. Maybe I could transfer the game I am actively playing to the SSD and delete when done too.
It's nice that us SONY people can finally enjoy backwards compatibility.

Man, it's been awhile since I've been on this site, nothing like the craziness of a new console launch to bring me back! Was glad to get an order in for each version on Amazon when it went up.
Good luck to everyone trying!

Weird, I got one from BB about 20 min ago first try with zero problems. But then, I'm not on a phone like most of you seem to be.
