UPDATE: From JB:

Pre-orders are temporarily suspended
Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve had to hit pause on taking any more pre-orders. Don't worry, as soon as we have more visibility on stock availability we will re-open pre-orders.

JB's pre-order page has just gone live. They're taking $50 deposits for pre-orders and say they'll SMS links to pay remaining balance and choose delivery options 'closer to release day'.

$749 regular, $599 Digital Edition. Worth noting that JB does not guarantee you'll actually get one on launch day:

About your pre-order
Your console pre-order will be placed in our priority queue. Closer to release day, we’ll SMS you a link to pay the remaining balance and choose the delivery option.

Important things to note:

• Due to stock demand your pre-order does not guarantee availability on the day of release (or a specific date).
• If you want to cancel your pre-order, we'll process a full refund and you will lose your place in the priority queue.
• If your contact details change after you pre-order, please let us know, or you will not have an opportunity to complete your order

Release Date - 12/11/20

      Sony's sold out too, also i've placed my order when it wasn't sold out yet and:

      1) it was never confirmed, so i don't know if it ever went through
      2) wasn't cancelled either, so i missed out on ordering from big w whilst it was still available

      Did anyone else have this issue?

      huge mess, worst fiasco ever, can't believe sony let us down that bad

  • Choc0 on 17/09/2020 - 09:47

    Damn, got about $600 worth of Ultimate Home cards that include JB, but these can't be used online

    • ruttager on 17/09/2020 - 10:07

      If all else fails, go in-store and pre-order any games/accessories you want. Maybe they will allow you to add to the PS5 pre-order as well.

      • Owgasm on 17/09/2020 - 10:17

        I added $50 pre order at the store. But receipt says as above. SMS before release date to pay and delivery options. Hopefully can pay with my Telstra bonus gift cards

      • Choc0 on 17/09/2020 - 11:50

        That's the plan. I'm in Melbourne so hopefully the stores will be open on October 26…

  • Twisty on 17/09/2020 - 09:50

    I wish JB would confirm if you got one for launch or not. I pre ordered when it went live but I’d like a confirmation guaranteeing me that I got in the first launch shipment

    How hard would it be to do that?

    • professorhulk on 17/09/2020 - 09:56

      Yeah, this'd be nice. I got my order in as soon as it went up, but I don't like the idea that I'll end up missing out.

      Also worried that they might not accept gift cards for paying the remaining balance, too. I would have just gone with EB Games but I have hundreds in JB gift cards I want to spend on this and I don't know how it's going to work.

      • Twisty on 17/09/2020 - 10:00

    Curious why so many people seem keen to jump on this at RRP so fast. Most of Sony's launch 'exclusives' are also coming to PS4 (Spider-Man MM, Horizon FW, Hogwarts and Sackboy all confirmed for current gen), so no need to dash into an upgrade at $750 unless you're really keen for that extra frame rate and resolution.

      • ruttager on 17/09/2020 - 10:10

        It is also the faster load times - I know I want to play Cyberpunk on a system that can load the game in a decent time (at least I hope it does)

    • netsurfer on 17/09/2020 - 09:58
      +2

      I think the EB trade in deal makes it more enticing. One other reason is PS4 Pro can be quite noisy when playing games.

      • mr_me450 on 17/09/2020 - 10:10

        The trade deals are actually pretty good, I was surprised EB is offering such decent value, especially if you have a Level 4 EB World card.

      New-generation consoles don't really drop in price for the first year or two, and I'm excited to play Demon's Souls day one. Plus I sold my PS4 a few months ago, so I'm all in, chaps :P

      • mr_me450 on 17/09/2020 - 10:09
        +2

        Not sure that's true. PS4 launched at $550 and within 6 months I was able to pick one up for $400. Plus there's always the inevitable bundles with big games. That's great you're pumped for it though, I'm sure it'll be awesome on a decent TV.

        • professorhulk on 17/09/2020 - 11:06
          +1

          Yeah, you might be right. I was just thinking about official price drops, but the enterprising Ozbargainer can always find something :P

    • witheredcouch on 17/09/2020 - 09:58

      I was Xbox last gen, and haven't been able to play any of the PS4 exclusives i wanted to, but buying a PS4 at the moment seems nonsensical, so i am primarily buying a PS5 so i can play through the PS4 games i hadn't played, then PS5 games when they come out.

      • mr_me450 on 17/09/2020 - 10:12

        Definitely if you haven't had either system this gen then that backwards compatibility will be well worth the purchase. I always get all 3 systems by the end of a console generation so I guess it's just not worth it for me until there are some actual exclusive games for these new consoles.

        • witheredcouch on 17/09/2020 - 10:37
          +1

          Yeah I can see the lack of immediate appeal if you already have all the consoles. I was planning to go PS4 shortly after the pro came out as it was becoming clear that the Xbox games lineup was not improving, but then ended up moving overseas for a while so my Switch became my main console.

      Consider that every game you currently play on ps4 pro will load up to 50 times faster on the PS5, and not sound like a plane taking off.

      • mr_me450 on 17/09/2020 - 10:15

        The tech is great, I'm just not sure it's worth $400-$750 to upgrade for those convenience features alone. I'll probably hold off until the first big exclusive only coming to next gen consoles, or wait for the inevitable slim version so the thing will actually fit in my home entertainment unit, haha.

        • onlinepred on 17/09/2020 - 10:51

          I got the amazon deal, so will end up costing me $300ish max after I sell my PS4 pro.

          • BuyOrNot on 17/09/2020 - 20:13

            @onlinepred: How much are you getting for selling Ps4 Pro.

            • onlinepred on 17/09/2020 - 20:33

              @BuyOrNot: Hoping around $350 mark. I have 4 controllers, controller rack too which I'll sell seperately. Will have to see what others are going for when I sell it. May end up being more like $300-$350 cost after I sold everything I guess.

              • BuyOrNot on 18/09/2020 - 23:16

                @onlinepred: I just took a quick look at FB marketplace, I see prices around 450 to 500 not sure if the console is actually selling at that price or not.

                • onlinepred on 19/09/2020 - 07:40

                  @BuyOrNot: I won't be selling till after I get the ps5, I think you can buy new for 450ish?

    • BradH13 on 17/09/2020 - 10:29
      +7

      All comes down to the person. I always buy launch day tech. As a hobbyist, it's fun to have the latest and greatest the day it releases. The money aspect has no weight to people like me. Also, games will always be coming. I've never understood "but it has no games" as a reason to avoid buying a console in its early life. Buying early just means you'll be getting the best experience possible as early as possible. Nothing against people who aren't like me, but I'm happy being me and don't ever feel like I've "wasted" money or whatever.

      • jno on 17/09/2020 - 10:33
        +1

        I don't get it either like games are gonna come out and you'll buy it anyway…you'll be lucky if the price drops down by $50 by then. If you can afford to get something now rather than later why not now lol

        • mr_me450 on 17/09/2020 - 10:55
          +1

          I don't think that's true; consoles prices never stay above $550 for very long. PS3 launched costing $1000 and spent most of its life at more like $500 or cheaper, Xbox One launched at $599 and was down to $299 with a 4K blu ray drive added within 2 years, PS4 launched at $599 and was down to $450 at most places within the first year. If you have the money and enjoy it then go for it, but waiting till the end of that first year or so means you get to enjoy the console at a cheaper price, often with added features, and a bunch of great games already available.

            @mr_me450: Yeah I understand your point, just upto the person really and what they want to play in the next 6 months. I for one can't wait to play cyberpunk on a ps5 over my PS4 but each to their own! And also I'm trading in my old gear so the sooner I do that, the more value it gets me back

      • mr_me450 on 17/09/2020 - 10:48

        For sure, if money is not issue and you enjoy it then why not. I guess I prefer to wait until at least the first big exclusive game, so for PS5 that will probably be the new God of War around Christmas 2021.

    I'm in an interesting situation.. I've just built a pretty nice gaming rig a couple of months ago but ended up selling my RTX 2080 Super before Ampere released for $1350.

    Not sure If I should continue running my 1650 Super and buying a PS5 or selling my 1650 Super and getting the new Nvidia 3000 series.
    The cards willl be at least 2x the price of a PS5 when they're released tonight.. Ugh..

    • coolhand on 17/09/2020 - 11:02

    • krisspy on 17/09/2020 - 11:39

      Do you care about 4k 60fps graphics? No? Get a midrange card with a ps5

  • Gmetal on 17/09/2020 - 09:53

    Feels a bit dodgy with their cop out, but given they will treat it as a priority queue, hopefully those who got in preorder on the first day will get it on launch
