PS Direct is up, 5 min warning as of this post.
thanks for the heads up. In the queue now, 55min wait time from "over an hour" earlier.
Wait ended up only being 20 mins to get in. Missed the disc only but had the Horizon bundle. Bailed on the purchase since it's a voucher and I didn't want to spend real money for it. Have too much credit at BB and GS, I'll wait a bit longer....

Thank you so much! I didn’t get any email notice (despite signing up), but I just googled “Sony direct” and the whole process was simple to snag a unit!PS Direct is up, 5 min warning as of this post.
Edit: They only had the Horizon bundle.

Well that was weird. Just bought a horizon ps5 bundle through direct without waiting on the Que at all
The queue is REALLY short. I was able to make it through in less than a minute and add a digital bundle to my cart just for kicks.

I didn’t even want one. It was available, just for kicks I tried checking out and it let me so I did. I’ll find someone who needs one or I’ll just end up keeping it.

Wait, I though they were only doing sales by invite?
I legit don't get how I haven't been able to find a PS5 yet no matter what I try- PS Direct invite sign up, wario64, Amazon Prime invite sign up.

Felt the same way when I discovered PS Direct no longer sells certified refurbished PS4 Pro consoles. Don't give up, although search elsewhere.

I just snagged a disc Horizon bundle an hour and half ago from my work computer (hopefully the IT guys ignore it, LOL).
I'm still in disbelief that I got one. Saw someone post on SD, checked it out of dumb luck on my phone and saw it was a wait time of 1 min. Figured it was an error so I checked my work laptop and my wait time was literally 1 minute. Got in order in ASAP before I realized I used my work computer for person shopping. LOL
Anyone know how PS direct ships these? Do they put it in a box or do they just slap a label on the box?

Hopefully this is a trend that more systems will stay in stock at various retailers soon. I have had one since launch and cant fathom the effort of constantly trying to get one for a year and a half.
I had a preorder and then canceled because I was like "nothing on the system I want to play ASAP, I can get this in a year when there are more games and probably will have deals on games, maybe even the system itself"... yeah, LOL, holy shit.
Hopefully this is a sign though. Can't WAIT to fire this baby up!

The load times are such a QOL game changer. And, as a hearing impaired gamer, the ability to set at the system level that captions should always be on and have the system automatically inform the games of that rather than having to sit through a cutscene before I can enable them?
Sounds so minor if that isn't your lived experience, but if it IS, it's a huge accessibility thing.

Damn, looks like the PS5 doesn't like my receiver... it's only a few years old but it doesn't seem to like that my receiver doesn't immediately switch video inputs.
Definitely not a smooth start up but damn, even though I read a lot about it, the controller is more amazing than I thought... including Astro was a brilliant move.
Wish I had time to actually fire up a game and play but can't decide on what.

Definitely one of the best controllers made, but the battery life is horrible. I actually fired up my PS3 after a few years sitting there yesterday and damn, that Dualshock 3 feels like crap. lol

The answer is right in front of you, Astro's Play Room. It's very good and I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too, story was not as strong as the first but everything else felt much better.Damn, looks like the PS5 doesn't like my receiver... it's only a few years old but it doesn't seem to like that my receiver doesn't immediately switch video inputs.

If you like racing or driving games, Gran Turismo 7 looks amazing in 4K. You now have to do a double and triple take as the game looks real.

I dunno, the DS design is still one of the better controller designs of the last few decades- still doesn't bother me as I still fire up PS1/2/3 games at least once a year.

I might just have to- seems like a good game for those short 20-30 minute gaming breaks I get these days. I do have the Horizon FW bundle so I could fire up FW and as much as I loved HZD (still my fave game of last gen), I just can't get excited for another open world game.

This was one I wanted to try because GT was a series I could not get into after GT3 because of the long ass load times- figured the PS5 super fast loads times would be great for this game... but all the microtransactions BS killed my interest.
