      no staff discounts available, just confirmed over the phone

      • I bought my OG switch using my discount and saved a good chunk stack with gift cards.

        It's a shame they no longer allow console purchases…

        I have a $250 gift card they gave to us to burn so at least it goes to good use

      • Will that restriction only be for pre-order? Or will the discount be applicable post-launch?

        • +1

          They stopped doing discounts on all consoles a while ago

        • +1

          Not on consoles or apple. Has been that way for over a year i believe.

  • +3

    Big w and target sold out

  • +2

    Got one of each version.. yeay!!

  • no staff discount on Playstation products at BigW!

    • I know I'm woolies, still preordered tho lol

    • Why would they? They know they're gonna run, not walk, out the door anyway.

    Being in stock at RRP isn’t a bargain

  • +4

    just ordered through target and got a confirmation email! fingers crossed it doesnt get cancelled

    • +1

      Surprised target still had stock

      • +1

        me too, i did c&c however so maybe they did have more allocated to the store i selected

        • +1

          Was worried too but I guess some stores just get more stocks/less orders in general. Hopefully mine is not cancelled, finger crossed.

    • After ordering through target click and collect and paying in full, i got the confirmation email but immediately got a cancellation email (within 1 minute) and credit card payment refunded
      I then tried preordering again and selecting another (regional) store for click and collect, got the confirmation email but no cancellation email yet. It currently says order still processing, I hope that this means it'll get fulfilled but not too optimistic tbh..
      Good luck to all

    Sony Direct first batch is still in stock it seems for anyone who missed out.

    • gone

      • Really? I just bought one. They took my money. Had to pay upfront tho which was slightly painful.

        • Same. That hurt a little. I was expecting a fiddy or such.

          • +1

            @cunningdrew: Hahaha. I was expecting to be able to trade in my ps4 pro at eb AND use my eb card. Secure in the knowledge that i was on the interest email list.

            Next thing i know they've not only opened pre-orders but they're sold out. That hurt a little too. Like… I WANT to support them but what was the point of letting ppl sign up in the first place?

            So I'm gumtreeing a ps4 pro now i guess.

              @Sxio: Pretty funny. Last week it was all about 'will they take my coupons and cards and chewing gum?' This week it's all 'take my money!!!!'

  • +1

    The best RRP deal we will get all year. 2020 is looking up OzBargainers!

  • +1

    From target

    1. Pre-Orders cannot be cancelled until the product is delivered to you due to system limitations.

    what does this even mean

    • +3

      No cancellation.

      U r screwed.

      • just dont understand how a multi billion dollar company doesnt have the 'sytem limitations' to cancel an order lol

        • +2

          Target is a multi billion dollar company?

          • +2

            @Yummy: Yes?

            • @424242: Comment checks out - Target Australia 2018 revenue: A$ 2.802 billion (Wikipedia).

              Surprising…

              • @[Deactivated]: They make a loss last year? Shut down so many stores.

            • @424242: Oh wow, it must be a big "Target", unlike big Big W.

      odd

    Managed to pre order for delivery after getting zip pay errors from amazon pre orders, no option to click and collect from the store at our town, I guess that’s because it’s changing to Kmart. Got conformation email hopefully I don’t
    get a cancellation email !

  • I thought the economic is bad, purchase power is low…

    • All the money we have saved from not paying for public transport, lunch, holidays etc going straight into vidya games.

  • +3

    Just came back in stock on sony website if anyones still looking https://store.sony.com.au/playstation-5/PLAYSTATION5W.html#s… be quick

    • Just got one, but damn…. it charged me full fee?

    • Gone now :(

  • Reading the forums, people have anywhere from 2-5 (some more) pre orders, when these people start to cancel (some) stock will reappear.

    Obviously not taking into consideration those with the intent to scalp the consoles, currently $1000 plus on eBay. Facepalm.

  • -5

    This should be a PSA, not in this thread as a bargain. Should be moved.

    • -1

      Lol all the negs, so are we going to start listing RRP items here? I get it's a big announcement but its no cheaper than if I order today via Sony (who have stock)

      • I didnt neg you but we had the stupid Amazon Prime membership "deal" yesterday. In comparison, this is much much better.

  • is there anyone at all who has stokc available for pre order on release?

  • EB Games has stock…

    • i think thats for teh 2nd shipment

    • Says 2021…

    • Yeah that's for their 2021 shipment.

      • ahh… my bad then.

  • +3

    Where's the deal?

    • +6

      Apparently RRP is the new bargain, heads up negative votes incoming.

      • +2

        Just a whole lot of FOMO going around. They'll neg you out of stress that they didn't get a console (even though there will be plenty between now and release).

      • +3

        Happened with xbox and the rtx graphics cards. Seems to be the standard approach now. In every case people seem defensive that it is a deal because ___ was listed as a deal, or for visability that more orders are available.
        Although I did pre-order the PS5 this morning, I completely agree that these RRP pre-orders are not "bargains" or "deals" and moreso suited as forum posts. That is UNLESS the specific listing is a deal and cheaper than other stores (as amazon often have).

  • +1

    I haven't even got a 4k TV yet so this PS5 presents no value over my PS4. So deals on a 4k gaming TV :D

  • +3

    RRP isnt a deal!

  • OzBargain is becoming a joke.

    • -1

      What's? This has happened every time a new console releases.

      • And for free dozen donuts.

      • That's not really the point is it
        The website is called OzBargain

    • lol, why because of a few hard to get deals? Relax maaaaaaaate!

      • -2

        Hard to get deals?

        No I'm referring to the last seven days of constant RRP posts

  • +1

    Happy to wait until at least the new year, if not longer on this. Happy enough with PS4 Pro for now.

  • I have to say the online purchase with Big W is a nightmare. I placed an order for Thrustmaster Xbox One T-Flight Hotas One Flight Sticks a FULL month ago. They did not cancel my order without any notice until 2 weeks later, for no reason. I have to find out myself when checking the order status.

    Up until now I have not got my refund, after another 2 weeks of contantly chasing through phones and emails. Every time they just told me to wait 24-48 hours. I have to submit a complaint now with Fair Trading in the hope to get 100 dollars back! It is not even a huge amount and think about all the time I spent on getting it back.

    So if you plan to buy from Big W, I hope you are patient enough.

    • Can you do a credit card charge back?

      • Paid with Woolworths gift card. Another mistake I made. :(
        It took them forever to locate the payment with giftcard in the first place, not to mention giving it back.

  • Lucky I don't have the desire to Pre-order or even own these next gen consoles for at least the next versions. It's just the lack of games doesn't justify the hype but oh well. Good luck everyone. Hope you enjoy it for a long time and not just after playing a game or two.

    • Same, I was so close to checking out but stopped myself and thought I'll get the next batch of PS5's

  • +1

    $750 console and $125 games. No thanks.

    • -1

      That opens one spot for the next person!

    • -1

      It's quiet cheap actually. I sold my PS4 Pro for $400 and added another $350 for the PS5. PS5 games are not $125 each. That's true RRP but who buys games at the recommended retail price anyway. You can get it cheaper at BigW and Amazon or wait a few weeks to buy secondhand at half price. Investing in a new gaming systemis not as expensive as investing in a new mobile phone. Looks at the iPoo 12,13 or whatever it's called. It's freaking $2000. How about those stupid Yeezy shoes that cost $400 to $500? I mean if you're a gamer and you want to get the latest console. A $750 price tag is not bad at all.

  • preorders sold out on the first day? I heard they were going to have 14 million units at launch which is massive compared to the usual launch.

    Looking like this thing is going to do gangbusters despite its higher price than PS4.

    • Maybe, just maybe they will be releasing the pre order in different moments.
