      And possibly an updated console..we all know first releases have kinks…

    Is it worth waiting for perhaps at EB games PS4 pro trade in, or is it better to sell the PS4 pro privately and just wait till the store actually has stock?

    I'm not in a rush, but ID like to get the most for the PS4 pro as possible.

    Reading these comments, it sounds like the Xbox is a better deal and I've only owned a Sony since earlier this year so I'm not attached to Sony yet.

    I ended up buying an Xbox One X off Facebook market, driving to another person's house and swapping it for a PS4 pro and it cost me $330 for the Xbox to begin it lol

    • Hybroid on 09/11/2020 - 23:03

      Selling privately will always net you more than trading in but at more hassle and headache. Your call.

      PS5 has far more revolutionary controller and exclusive game titles from launch onwards. See what interests you.

      • SaberX on 11/11/2020 - 13:24

        I haven't been keeping up but is it still in the air what ps4 games are backward compatible on the ps5? I have a heap i have stockpiled but haven't played… no point selling the ps4 (non pro, original release date lol back in 2013) otherwise, and might as well play out the games if they aren't compatible. Then buy the ps5 hopefully on special later down the road.

        • Hybroid on 11/11/2020 - 16:12

          Nope, pretty much all PS4 games will work on it and most are much enhanced and boosted with higher framerates.

    • Siuto on 09/11/2020 - 23:38

      I think the EB trade in value for a PS4 Pro is $50 less than Xbox One X so it's better to sell the PS4 Pro privately. BTW, I think you can actually trade in a Xbox One X for the PS5 and you get $350 on level 1. Also, the bonus trade in is only valid until the end of Jan 2021.

    • raptormesh on 10/11/2020 - 00:04

      I just traded in my Pro for cash at EB($300 - level 3). Tried selling privately but honestly my time is worth a lot more than dealing with idiots with their drama and lowball offers.

    • skido on 09/11/2020 - 23:58

      what is their gift card policy for preorder.. ?

    • lplau on 10/11/2020 - 00:03

      They changed their policies around gift card for preorders. Where they allowed you to make a pre-order but would send you a website to change your payment method. Then they will refund your credit card if you decided to change to gift card.

                        @sween64: Astro's Playroom - This game sells you on the DualSense technology so hard you can't go back. The controller makes these little tap vibrations for each little robotic step, it's transformational and changes depending on the surface you're on.

    PlayStation for their exclusives, Switch for their exclusives, PC (with gamepass) for everything else!

    • Valowick on 10/11/2020 - 07:37

      Xbox is still good for those without an equivalent expensive PC. Upgrading my pc to be on par or better is gonna cost me $1800 roughly. $1200 if I aim for something subpar, this includes rebuilding myself. PC is great if you’ve got all the money you need in the beginning. You do save money later on but upfront you spend more than any game console.

        sell the series x while it's hot and get a ps5. PC + PS5 will cover all my gaming needs.

    • XxAiDsTaRxX on 10/11/2020 - 11:16

      Even though i have a rediculously expensive custom pc xbox series x will be far better for online gaming due to me never finding any people to play online in asia servers compared to both consoles at a lot of the times.

      Edit. I replied to the wrong poster.

      • JAKEBAB on 11/11/2020 - 05:37

        With cross-play finally becoming the new norm I feel it's viable to play PC these days.

        • XxAiDsTaRxX on 11/11/2020 - 11:39

          I feel you are right on some games, with competitive type games i reckon the old keyboard and mouse has it easier against the controller crowd argument might come up again.

  • Jonobo on 10/11/2020 - 07:48

    From someone who ordered a PS5 from Target - avoid ordering from them. No communication, no answers from anyone instore, over phone or online. They don't have a clue if they can fulfil confirmed click & collect prepaid orders this Thursday, or when their stock will arrive. Meanwhile, Big W have already started to ship their stock…

    • agalea101 on 10/11/2020 - 08:17

      100% went into store to speak with manager and said no communication yet about click and collect

      Was cheeky to say to call on Wednesday to see the PS5 have arrived before coming in on Thursday…

  • Aceboy884 on 10/11/2020 - 08:33

  • Birdseye on 10/11/2020 - 08:52

    Hope this bodes well for the status of existing pre-orders. In the 'Early 2021' boat at EB games, hoping it will be a lot sooner

    • digitalbath on 10/11/2020 - 11:55

    • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2020 - 16:36

      As an ex EB employee my advice is to constantly check with the store if there are units available. I guarantee you people will fail to pick up their orders, and eventually the store will sell that unit.

      Source: bought a bunch of launch PS4s that customers never picked up

      • first in line on 10/11/2020 - 21:55

        How long do they have to collect it before it goes back on shelf to sell?

          They actually only have 2 weeks but the store tended to give them 4

  • Buddy195 on 10/11/2020 - 09:36

    So those who preordered and are being told it’s early 2021 delivery, should just have not bothered and purchased on launch date, for December delivery? I’m amazed!

    • digitalbath on 10/11/2020 - 14:56

      It was a gamble. I didn't preorder later batches for this reason. Still might not end up getti g one though.

    • Valowick on 10/11/2020 - 17:11

      Except this will be the hardest opportunity to get lucky. Now everyone knows that it’s hard to get. Scalpers are armed and ready. It’d be surprising if the websites don’t crash and burn.

  • Dealneo on 10/11/2020 - 13:55

    I have my preorder placed with Harvey. Just contact them about it since I didn’t receive any information yet except for an automated email stating it’ll be with me on the 12th.
    But now Harvey chat guy is telling me and I quote “Please allow 2-10 business days for the order to arrive at your address. This will just be standard shipping timeframe for all PS5 pre orders.” Has someone else contacted Harvey and received any positive info?

    • Buddy195 on 11/11/2020 - 09:49

      I contacted them and they’d commit to nothing, just early December! Took ages to get someone to answer me, very poor customer service.

        I know right.
