      • I was in JB hi-fi Belmont they are also doing an EOI. I was told to expect it approximately in March next year. It seems like a long waiting list.

    • Just an update, got a call from JB Hi-Fi (VIC) today as they had a pre-order cancellation and was able to pick-up in an hour. Started 11th on the EOI list on 26/11. Goodluck everyone!

    On a funny note…scanning gumtree and just found an add for Cash city, said they were looking to buy PS5s. I had a spare minute so out of curiosity called to see what they would offer for a brand new PS5 and was told the best they could do was $400 as they had to try and resell them lol…wow

  • Anyone heard anything from Good guys?

    • Still the same story, next round of texts are not expecting to go out until at least tomorrow and first round are still waiting on stock expected December 15.

    • So just got off the phone with Goodguys, apparently payment links have already been sent out to those who were able to secure the latest offering, next shipment expected 2021.
      I would take this with a grain of salt as everyone has completely different etas

      • I call bullshit - Not a single mention of it on whirlpool, FB or Oz Bargain…

        I don't get why they aren't feeding information to their staff.

        • +1

          I would agree, it seems they literally have no clue

        • Yeah there are a few on WP who have said they did secure them. Check the last few pages of the preorder thread

          • @metroid87: yeah i saw a few too, not a lot

            • @Chukka01: I think that would be due to the small allotment they've been given, so if you expect say 100 consoles per 3 locations they named, they vast majority wont be on WP. 5 people ish said they got one so that probably checks out

  • I called GG Macgregor (QLD) and they advised they will have stock on 15/12. I expect based on people's notes above those who were successful will find out over the next few days.

    • Those who were successful would have already been contacted and payment sought.

      • The email I got for the 2nd round stated that people would be contacted by this Saturday if they were successful.

    WA - my disc console from Big W is arriving today (the one day I'm not home and working late).

    • when did you place the order?

      • On release day in the second round (i think 2:42pm ish?)

        edit: 4:41pm AEDST

  • Anyone know when Target will be opening up for orders? Been like this now since launch date

    • -2

      pretty sure never….

      i know a manager at target, they have stock. they have it in store….. but they're not selling it….

      my guess is it's going to friends/family of higher up people in the company

      • You serious? If that's true then they maybe holding out till BF, the question is why, they would instantly sell either way.
        Maybe they really are beefing up their online system before release.

        • well i have no idea if it's going to family or friends…. but i've seen photos of stock at target stores, but they tell people they dont have any.

          • @Chukka01: Wonder how they get away not posting anything on their website, surely someone at target corporate noticed that they are being bombarded with enquiries

            • @MonkeyFace: if they aren't selling them to staff / family / friends….. then they obviously have something planned. Maybe some sort of christmas rush?

              no idea.

              • @Chukka01: Just called the main target here in perth, they said that the last preorder went live 2 weeks ago and everyone that was able to order already came in and picked up their unit. No new preorders scheduled till Feb 21…

                • @MonkeyFace: i read someone else say that previously. but i also read that someone spoke to target HO who confirmed that they have delayed taking preorders. people on here were refreshing the target website every hour of every day and it never went live for them.

                  so who knows

      • +1

        As soon as I hear anything along the lines of "I know somebody who…" or "a friend told me…" then I immediately consider it nothing more than just another rumour.

  • +1

    Tried a number of JB HiFi stores from outer east Melbourne through to East Gippsland.

    All the same message - no in store reserve and wait list. Obviously no "uncollected" orders.

    I think the most frustrating thing at the moment is not just being able to put money down somewhere to be on a wait list to get it whenever it might show up.

  • 10 Million people are sweating on a Black Friday PS5 deal.

    Come On !!!!!!!

  • +3

    Cmon JB, gimme that early click and collect please!

  • +1

    Good guys SMS going out to some people in a Facebook group. None for me haha. I think I screwed myself by using the link here to apply first time around.

  • Will there be another drop from any stores?

  • People in Sydney getting good guys text - Nothing heard yet for QLD buyers.

    Amazon just charged my card for disc version. purchased at 10am aest time 12th Nov. EST del was 18th DEC

  • +3

    amazon just charged me!!!!!! ordered a disk version at 9 on launch day. never been more excied for $750 to be taken out of my account

  • Yeah I just got charged by Amazon as well for my purchase at 10am aest time on the 12th Nov. EST del has always been 17th DEC. If I click on the order package tracking it still says the 17th. I wonder if that will change later today… most curious indeed.

  • Amazon just charged my account too.
    Disc version ordered Nov 12 9:06am, changed shipping to priority shortly after, changed back to expedited 09:36.

    I am a little concerned though as I have it shipping to a parcel locker, and I had a different Amazon delivery this morning, not shipped by Aus post.
    So, will see what happens.

  • +1

    Amazon charged as well, 12 Nov 9:06, it's happening folks!

  • Had the money taken out too eariler
    Just attempted to speak to Amazon via live chat, wasn't much help
    Still said it will ship on 18th December

    Hopefully this changes!

  • If you've been charged you're likely about to get some shipping info! Congrats bois

    • Gigity! :-D

    • Bloody hope so. Would be a nice surprise to get it early.

  • Amazon just took money out for the 17-19 dec delivery placed on the 12th this month. Hmmm wonder if it’ll come early.

  • Think about it - most big companies will heavily over estimate the due date to avoid the "ITS LATE WTF, REFUND!!!", look at JB hifi, eb games etc.

  • Just spoke to GG Mcgregor - 300 Units arriving 15th December - Text messages have begun going out and they already have a few orders in their system.

    I've received nothing yet personally.

  • +1

    Just got charged as well from Amazon. I was one of the people who had their order as "pending" cause i mucked around and with priority shipping. excited!!

    • I've been charged as well - Same boat as you had to change my payment method so was pending….still is.

    • Im one of those people too… I havent been charged

  • Ahh I just got charged by Amazon as well, didn’t even realise till I saw others commenting on this thread just now, I haven’t received any email update regarding my order from Amazon though

    Edit: My order on Amazon now says “preparing for shipment”

    • What date was your one supposed to arrive?

      EDIT: I got charged now and mine is on preparing for shipment too! HYPEEEEE
      Estimated date is 17th December

      • Don't have estimated date yet just says preparing for shipping but haven't checked again since I wrote my original post so might have updated

      • lets gooo hypeee, preparing for shipment status hell yea

      • Where does it say it?

  • Amazon purchase here awaiting for shipping December 17.
    What happens if I don't have sufficient funds right now and get charged? Will I still be able to recieve it by the delivery date if I cant pay now but pay later before it ships?

    • you have to pay before they ship

    • +2

      your order will get pushed back if payment fails

      edit: got downvoted for telling the truth? its literally what customer service told me a while back.

      • Yeah, something wrong with people today

  • +2

    My Amazon order wasn't charged…. I tried calling their contact centre and apparently they're having system issues and can't help

    • +1

      You post that your Amazon order hasn't been charged and everyone hates you for it… hahaha wtf?

      • When was your eta for delivery? Mines from 18th to 23rd and still hasn't been charged.

        • Date is pending still

      • Why are people downvoting this comment for saying that an order wasn’t charged for yet??? Are people actually ok today?

        • Lol i have no idea, I had a good laugh at it though

          • @Chukka01: You had a good laugh at your own comment that got downvoted??

            • @jayboi: Yeah, mostly because it made no sense why people would down vote it

  • +1

    Just got charge, still showing delivery date pending

    • Do you know how long ago you were charged

      • +1

        4:43 pm

    • Did you get an email conformation from amazon that they charged or just your bank?

      • It appears in bank transactions, nothing from Amazon

        • Still nothing…why amazon!?why most you make me wait so

  • Picked up PS5 disc version I pre-ordered on 12 Nov @ JB Hifi Booragoon WA, got the email to collect yesterday.

    • Did you also get a text?

      • sorry for the late reply, I did not get any text.

  • Seems like only people with Dec 17 ETA got charged. Anyone with a 18-21 Dec ETA got charged?

    • +1

      Yep - I am 18-21 and just got charged.

      • +2

        Wow! That’s nice Now I have to refresh my bank account every 30 seconds

        • Fun times, same here haha

    • I have ETA for 18th but havent been charged yet, hope its not too far away

    • I'm due for the 18th. Ordered at 9:07. Nothing yet :(
      E: disc edition

      • Still nothing

  • Just curious, anyone that has received their ps5 and are using it have you had any launch issues or bugs with your system?

    I'm hearing issues with coil whine and updates/games bricking ps5's (just google it or check YouTube) so was just curious if any one here had any issues to speak of or everything is good?

    • +1

      Been playing the shit out of mine since launch and it's perfect

    • I've seen people report a lot on facebook, but none of them seem super serious. I think that they will all be able to be patched out.

      The only one that is a little concerning is that people are reporting that the ps5 cannot read a disc. Then they take it out and put it back in and its fine.

      That could be either software or hardware

    • +1

      There's been lots of reports of issues. But if you think how many consoles are actually in use. The % with problems would be so small.

  • Does anyone have 18th to 23rd eta? Seems like everyone else is either 17th or 18th to 21st

    • Mine is still and always has been 18th.
      Got charged earlier today, no updates to the order though.

    • I was 17th to the 22nd… until I changed my shipping method

      • Yeah mine did change from 18th to 17th when I changed from expedited to priority, but changed back to 18th when I switched back.

        I'm still a little concerned about it being sent to a parcel locker. All good if it ships with Aus post.
        But if it's with a courier I'm not sure where it will end up.

        • I changed mine and tried changing it back, it just stayed as pending after I changed it

  • +1 Dec 17-22 just got charged. Never been so happy to see a spend notification 😂

    • Did yours say expected delivery on 22nd? Mine said 18-23rd, expected delivery 23rd.

      • No expected date. Has always been 'Arriving 17-22`

  • Please Amazon! Just shut up and take my money!

    • Im gon cri

  • Amazon Shipped! Was one of the 9.06am Disc ones. original ETA of 27 Nov - 4 Dec.
    Current "Arriving 8 Dec" I'm expecting it sooner than that since most post seems to be moving faster now.

    • tracking number provided yet?

      • +1

        Yeah has an aus post tracking
