            @cb01: I think I am going to report to ACCC that The good guys people are misleading people by NOT mentioning anywhere that its a pre-order. They don't even have a delivery date.

            • +2

              @sedi: Definitely within your rights to a refund if they mentioned 2-3 days anywhere, don't deliver and refuse refund. Your local fair trading authority will help or PayPal for instance.

              • @lukethefish: I contacted Thomastown store where my order was placed. And asked to cancel my order. There will be hundreds of persons who would have thought it will be delivered in a week, little did they know, it was a trap to hold 750 dollars and saying on the website - will be dispatched in 2-3 days.

        • I ordered one but I spoke to their customer support line and they told me that the ps5s became available as a result of a technical glitch and they aren't 100% sure when they will be getting stock which is very dodgy! Who knows when that will be

          • +1

            @Anonymous 7: Technical Glitch is very much in their favour isn't it. I believe its simply a trick to take money. Imagine 500 orders for $750 each.. Without any commitment to deliver the product.

    • +1

      That is a standard reply to dispatch 2-3 days after purchase. I have many experiences buying online from TGG for 75" TV, Mobile Phone, Headphones, Rice Cooker etc.

      • +1

        Agree, but if they are doing a pre-order, they MUST mention it clearly on the listing that the product is NOT IN STOCK, and it is a PRE-ORDER.

      There's no official black PS5 console. That's just a custom job.

    • Unofficial and limited to 304 units.
      Good luck getting one!

      • It will be quickly snapped up by scalpers.

    • -2

      Still ugly.

      Well.. The controller is good. But the console shape remains a disaster.

      Might have to wait for the slim "sensible looking" version that will come in a couple of years.

    • +1

      These guys are in the US, does anyone know if they ship to Australia?

      • Not sure, there’s a link to their website on there…the black PS5 is $699 USD which is about $899 AUD which isn’t too bad considering that scalpers on eBay are asking+$1k for the white one. Limited to 304 units.

    Thanks bought two.

    • +2

      Has a Bonus Digital Game token apparently therefore your neg for even RRP doesn't count! Ooofff

      • -1

        lol there was not even description about that bonus digital game token. Don't get your hopes up

    • Instock for delivery, go be negative elsewhere.

      • Blame the OP for the inaccurate description

    • What kind of smell?

  • ordered one op

  • +8

    Gonna wait on Amazon to come through with stock. No rush to give them money right now, especially when they don't have a delivery date and charge you for shipping LOL.

    • There's no delivery date for this either.

    • Amazon stock seems to come through at totally random times though, with no announcement. Easy to miss.

      In saying that…it's how I got mine.

  • I'm waiting for JB, I grabbed $750 worth of gift cards at 19% discount.

    • +2

      How

      • Zip and discounted cards last month

  • anyone know if good guys do a trade in with a ps4 pro ?

    • Good Guys doesn't do trade ins. It's EB Games or JB which does that sort of stuff.

      • Jb doesn't atm. Covid I think.

      • thanks mate i think i'll just wait for EBgames and JB so i can trade in

    • +3

      shouldn't you know?

      • +1

        I think he checked the box by mistake :D

        • No way! That never happens lol. Damn sausage fingers on the mobile

  • +1

    Target also had PS5 console for sales 15mins ago… All gone now though.

    • why didnt you post..

      • +5

        By the time I completed the order then refreshed the page stock was gone : (

    • Big W also have PS5 for sale but limited to one unit per customer about 3 days ago. I missed it but my friend got it.

  • Ordered one. It doesn't say it's pre-order? Also we I tried to choose pick up and entered my postcode, it says it's more than 500km away from the store with stock. I assume they do have stock now?

    • Not sure where it said Pre-order anywhere either.
      Under delivery it says "In stock at warehouse" shipped within 3-7days

  • Got one - but it seems like a preorder and looks like we're in for a wait as they take our money. Got done well and truly.

  • +1

    I ordered and then called to check the what the deal is.

    It is on back order and the sales consultant said maybe a month and half to fulfil. Not sure how accurate that is.

    I'll keep it on back order unless a quicker delivery comes along. I can then cancel this back order.

    • Oh nice, that's more than what the person told me ("No ETA information")

      Thanks.

      • +5

        The Good Guys are turning into The Bad Guys.

  • +1

    was listed 3-7 day delivery before OOS,

  • +3

    so is there actually stock or is this good guys pulling another 'lets do a massive price error or drop a high demand item so we can rake up some revenue for this month and please our stakeholders'

    • No stock. They are awaiting stock. This is essentially putting yourself on a list for when they do get stock.

      • +10

        I prefer amazon's checkout method - only charging when the item gets shipped

  • -4

    if I order 2 using 2 emails will they cancel my orders?

  • +3

    It's coming up as $749 for me. How do you get it for $745?

    • +1

      Lol by the time you type this question you will look back and think was a cost of a cappuccino really worth losing a potential purchase

  • -1

    No ETA and pay full price? waste your money. Only 2 games are truely next gen powered.
    I would like to get a better price and more games later next year.

    • theres literally not been a single time this console has been offered less than this price

    • Lack of stock. High in demand. Cheaper than RRP

      Yes it's a deal

  • Considering they and JB are the same company, it's annoying that JB doesn't have it. Especially since I'm heavy on the JB GCs

    • +1

      i think that's why they did it - not many have a pile of heavy discounted GG gift cards

    • By having PS5 in stock for preordering nowadays is already a deal by itself

    • when its oos everywhere else. rrp was 749 fyi.

    • It seems just being able to buy one is a big deal.

    • +3

      It’s actually a few dollars below RRP. How embarrassing for you.

      • -2

        Yeah $4.95 lower… you can celebrate this awesome deal with a 3pc Chicken McNuggets + 1 sauce.

        • -2

          Doesn’t detract from the fact it’s still below the RRP, completely negating your initial comment.

  • Confirming 2 mates completed the expression of interest for a PS5 2 weeks prior to launch day, paid full price with no guaranteed pick up date and both got the call from TGG Essendon on launch day for pickup.

  • Dont forget shopback

  • They are still taking order, how are they gonna fulfill 5000 orders ?

    • how do you know there are 5000 orders

      • +1

        I'm assuming they are basing that off the number of clicks the link got.

  • Put in an order. Not sure how much stock they have. Wasn't expecting to be able to get one before April so I'm pretty happy right now.

  • Got mine on launch day and been alternating between AC Valhalla and FIFA 21 for a couple of months

    Don't hesitate. Just get it

  • Can't checkout

    The address is out of delivery zone

    WTH

    • what suburb?

      • Penrith

  • Ordered one but highly sceptical about the order as it's not out of stock yet.

  • Surely there is cancellations coming. Good Guys don't have this many PS5's lmao

  • It literally says 3-7 business days on the ad and nothing about pre order. Serious bullshit if they have no stock. ACCC should crack onto them

    • Ill simply ask for my money back if they don't deliver.

      No need to worry.

  • Got an order processed email! "Your order is being processed"
    Looks like it's getting readied to be shipped?

    • They pretty much sent it instantly so I think it’s just an auto reply

      • thats "Confirmation of your order" email

    • I got one of those too - mine was sent 30 minutes after the confirmation email.

      • mine was sent 2 mins after the confirmation email

    • Got an email with "Your order is being processed" too.
      And an store has been assigned for the order.
      is it mean that my order is firmly confirmed?
      How come they have so many PS5 stock……

      • I called the store they said they don’t know when it will arrives

  • Got another processing email too

  • +8

    Jees I think some people have way too much money.

    Every one here is feeling happy financing the TGG business with zero% loan (cheapest form of debt). They will hold onto your monies, maintain their liquidity and you won't get anything in Q1 2021 and at the end if they cannot fulfil your order you will get a chance to wait some more or get a refund.

    • +1

      If there was an ETA it would be worth getting but without one you could be waiting until 2022 lol

      • ETA is nothing but a promise. I am sure they have it burried in some terms and conditions that they retain the right to change the ETA based on stock availability and other factors… Blah blah.

    • Lolz.. guess they finished their funding round.. haha

  • No confirmation email. Strange

  • I got an order processed email and it shows a local store that's been assigned my order and will be fulfilling it?

  • +1

    Why bother, there is virtually no games.

    • I got the chance to sample Until Dawn, Days Gone, God of War, Ghosts of Tsushima and a handful of others at glorious 60fps.

      Would be more than happy to play buttery smooth last gen games during the wait honestly.
