      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

        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.

    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 !!!!!!!

    Cmon JB, gimme that early click and collect please!

    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

  • +2

    No words can describe my excitement.
    Contacted amazon and they said that my console is getting shipped out and it is in their warehouse.
    My original ETA was 17th December.
    MORE HYPEEEEEE

    • Gon cri

  • My order status changed to 'Preparing for Shipment', but still show 'We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date.' when I click track package

    • Stupid question, but where can you check order status? In Order details in shows 'Arriving 17 December' and track package button.

      • I mean the title of that order. mine shows 'preparing for Shipment' in order lists which used to be 'delivery date pending'.

        • Thank you, weird but the only thing I can see 'Arriving 17 December', maybe this is order status?

  • +1

    Called Amazon and was told that ETA listed on their website is an overestimate and they will most likely send out orders MUCH sooner. He mentioned that most orders will be shipped on the 15th from Perth, Melb and Sydney warehouses. I'm assuming if your eta was 17th or 18th it maybe even sooner than that

  • +1

    Wonder if this heavy processing of stock from Amazon means we will see some fresh stock available to the public soon!

  • Let me just add, PS5 is a beast. I feel so blessed to own one. Good luck to you all.

  • The thing I’m struggling with is these consoles are selling consistently every day without fail on eBay for $1400 or so, that’s like double the price meaning you can not only make your money back but essentially grab a free one next year when they’ve ironed out the bugs and actually have more games for it. I mean if you already have a PC or something you can play in the meantime you’re not missing out on that much really and with Cyberpunk coming week after next and the fact it hasn’t been fully upgraded to work with ps5 or series x yet means you’re still not missing out unless you absolutely must have spider man or demons souls games right now.

    I know I’ll probably get down voted for this comment but love or hate the scalpers theirs 100% a market right now that has no issues paying double for a ps5…

    I already bought spiderman and demons souls for my ps5 but I’m struggling with the fact that if I’m patient I can literally double my money without blinking and essentially get a free one next year once supply catches up.

    • My mate sold his ps5 on ebay for $1500 and now he gutted that he can't find another one anywhere.

      I was like it serves ya right mate!

      • I wouldn’t be expecting to find another one till April/may next year. Even then if you till Christmas next year their will be probably be some good deals on. Depends on your level of patience I guess and if you must absolutely have it right now.

        • +3

          If you don't want it and can wait. Cancel your order and let it go to the next person.
          If you want to be a sh$# person, sell it on eBay.

          • @digitalbath: Or just sell it to someone for RRP

            • +2

              @jayboi: why would you sell it to some random for RRP when clearly there are rich ppl wanting to pay double ;)

            • -1

              @jayboi: Yeh true! But that someone needs to sign a legally binding contract stating they won't flip it for double the price or the difference gets paid back to the original seller.

              Aint no one re selling this for rrp after they paid retail for it at a time like this all good nature is out the window

          • +5

            @digitalbath: I try to understand this mentality, if you buy anything it's legally and rightly yours to do whatever you please with. Smash it, burn it, donate to charity etc. If you choose to sell it for double, triple, quadruple the price you paid for it and someone is physically willing to pay that price why does it make you a shit person?

            What if you did cancel it and it got re sold to a flipper? What then? There's no guarantee the person that wants it right now would actually get it anyway.

            I'm no flipper, I have heaps of things in my personal collection I could flip right now but just never bothered because there's just no need for me to go to the trouble. But the reality is if someone came to you right now and said here's $3k give me your ps5 right now as is there's not a doubt in my mind that 99% wouldn't take it.

            Anyway think what you will but it's your property to do with what you please, calling someone shit for doing it means nothing because it's gonna happen regardless what you feel as there's an obvious market for it and honestly the guy with cash isn't gonna care what some screaming minority think, it's literally a first world problem it's not like they're flipping the cure for a mass illness, it's a gaming console not a device for saving babies.

            Blame sony they make the console and obviously underestimated the market demand.

              @Kmartsecurityguard: Try to justify it how you want. Outcome is still the same.

              • +1

                @digitalbath: Yeh it is, the flipper makes money and still doesn't care what the "I need every new thing that comes to market now generation" thinks
