    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

    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

    • raspudala on 27/11/2020 - 19:34

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

      • ricky93 on 27/11/2020 - 19:38

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

        • raspudala on 27/11/2020 - 19:44

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

    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

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

  • CheetoJesus on 28/11/2020 - 08:51

    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.

    • Chukka01 on 28/11/2020 - 08:57

      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!

      • CheetoJesus on 28/11/2020 - 09:03

        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.

          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.

          • jayboi on 28/11/2020 - 09:27

            @digitalbath: Or just sell it to someone for RRP

              @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.

                      @digitalbath: Even if he/she felt differently about those products, it wouldn't undermine the argument. There's a big difference between a necessity like toilet paper and an entertainment system.

                        I don't really feel anything. Though I think this is dumb and selfish because its an essential item that everyone needs, especially toilet paper.

                        on the other hand, a PS5 is an item that some people want

                        @codewana: Scalping is scalping. The product doesn't matter.
                        To intentionally buy something that's in demand, to make a profit from people who want that item.
                        If you're ok with that, then rightio.
                        We all have different levels of being a sh#$ cu&@ that we're willing to accept.

                        But to make out like it's no big deal. You're kidding yourself.

                        • codewana on 28/11/2020 - 12:58

                          @digitalbath: It's interesting. On the one hand, I understand your point from an emotional perspective. On the other, this is exactly what retailers do… Buy things at a discount using their advantage and then selling them at an inflated price due to demand.

                          The difference is that their advantage is in bulk whereas the scalpers advantage is in being lucky/able to source the goods.

                          I don't think there's a moral implication for this when we're talking about nice to haves, but can see the discomfort when talking about necessities.

                          Would I be annoyed or upset if I missed out on a ps5 within the first couple of months of launch because of scalpers? Yeah, probably.
                          Should it be illegal? Probably not.

                          Just my opinion. Maybe I'm all those things you said, or maybe I'm a realist.

                            I understand why they do what they do.
                            People who are willing to pay overs are just as much to blame.
                            Yes people are willing to pay, but that doesn't make it right for scalpers to do what they do.

      Not many I would imagine, wouldn't be worth it if you ever need to claim warranty (which it seems like many early release made plagued with issues) plus the import tax and low stock availability especially in Oz. I think most will be sold to Ausies desperate to get one by Xmas

        genuine buyer misses out

    I contacted Amazon about my PS5 order that said arriving on 17th Dec.

    Told them there are reports of people with estimated arrival times later than mine that have shipped first (I ordered around 10am, never changed shipping and always showed arriving 17th since order).

    They apologised and gave me a $10 voucher, would advise people to grab a voucher if there ps5 haven’t shipped yet.

    • EldoubleU on 28/11/2020 - 14:15

      “I’ve contacted the shipping team and was informed that the items have been assigned the fulfilment center and will be shipped out anytime soon from now.

      The order is in final stage of shipping and assigned to Aussie post carrier.”

    Just in case anyone is interested in the Xbox Series X
    I was able to order one using this method. Called and confirmed it will be shipping in 24 to 48 hours. People who ordered last night had their shipped already:

    bp1984 21 hours 3 min ago
    +3 votes
    it seems like microsoft is going to sell the series x soon, if you go to https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/consoles/xbox-series-x#purchase the "BUY NOW" button is not disappearing anymore, but if you click it, it will say "Out of stock", however, if you have some basic js/react knowledge, you can easily make it think it IS in stock and enable the button for you.

    There are a few ways to do it, but the easiest to follow is:

    Using chrome with React dev tools installed, enable dev tools, use the element selection (CTRL SHIFT C), select the "out of stock" button, then click the Components tab, you'll see the component tree, click Button and then click the <> (view source for this element) button on the top right corner of the dev tool, place a breakpoint on line 24 (var prefix =…) and refresh the page, it will break on that line… now the boring part, when the code breaks on that line, hover the mouse over props and check if disabled is true, if it is, then change it to false by double clicking "false", then type "true" and hit enter. Then click the play button (resume) at the top-right corner.

    when the code stops breaking, go to Elements tab, double click the html code corresponding to the button and remove the "disabled" from it.

    After you've done that, click the "out of stock" button and it will be added to your card and you can complete the order.

    I tried this yesterday and I was getting an error on checkout, but now I just tried and placed the order successfully! https://ibb.co/NsYs7yk

    Amazon took my money on Friday for the PS5 disc version I ordered just after 9am on Nov 12th.

    I live in Sydney and the order has always said it's arriving on the 17th of Dec. That's what it still says.

    Absolutely nothing has changed on my order this whole time, other than Bezos taking my money.

    Delivery type is Expedited and I haven't played around trying to change it to Priority or anything.

      hey same here, just got charged!

      The email I received the other day is really clear that you will only be charged once the item is dispatched..I'm hoping it will be shipped tomorrow :)
