    is it safe to say that theres nothing more to expect now? Been a long day

  • finnthecheapskate on 12/11/2020 - 18:19

    Did u guys see the statement from jb hifi on their Facebook?

    "Today we experienced unprecedented traffic to our website with thousands of PS5 orders every minute, resulting in our allocation of stock being exhausted before we could fully process all customer orders. We realise that this is disappointing for customers and acknowledge that this is not the sort of customer experience that JB Hi-Fi seeks to provide. PS5 stock is limited and in high demand around the world and while we do not anticipate any additional stock this year, we are working hard to try to secure more. We have no certainty of when this will be available but we will provide updates if and when they become available. We are also reviewing our processes so that we can provide better customer experiences in these situations in the future."

    I'm worried they may cancel the order 🥺

    • Agent009 on 12/11/2020 - 18:21

      why would you be worried. If you got one, you got one. this is addressing people who missed out due to website errors/crashes etc.

    • ozvictor on 12/11/2020 - 18:25

      If you received a confirmation email then you are safe.

        Ahhh I did but I thought the wording “resulting in our allocation of stock being exhausted before we could fully process all customer orders” meant that they might cancel.

        Got an order email, but payment is pending.

        • ozvictor on 12/11/2020 - 18:46

          Someone posted a comment on their FB “ I spoke with a representative from their sales line, they said they have been told if you recieved your confirmation email you were successful in purchasing.
          People who were not successful did not recieve a confirmation email, they recieved a cancellation email. Or just weren't able to check out.”

          So it should be all good mate

      Did target even open an order or just tease everyone with that greyed out add to cart button?

  • Agent009 on 12/11/2020 - 18:44

    Did Harvey Norman say an estimated delivery date for the digital? My cousin got one from them late this arvo but he reckons there was no estimated date which sounds odd. He probably just missed it.

    • ozvictor on 12/11/2020 - 18:47

      Only got a email saying they are reviewing the order, dunno when they gonna send the confirmation email

      • Agent009 on 12/11/2020 - 18:48

        He got a confirmation email. but no date lol

        I got a date from Amazon.

        and my brother got a date from JB Hi fi

    • Altf4z on 12/11/2020 - 19:23

      I think December is all they provided, no actual date.

    • Hundo on 13/11/2020 - 16:24

      I actually preordered for their december batch a few weeks ago, still haven't heard anything back from them on a specific date. I had a chat with their online support and they still don't know when in December. Feels dodgy like they'll push it back

  • oO0Dam0Oo on 12/11/2020 - 19:45

      they charge when they ship it.

      Amazon don't charge you until an item is shipped, Ozb 101

      • MorriJ on 12/11/2020 - 21:29

        I'd normally agree, they didn't ship mine today, but charged my card around 1:06pm AEST.

    • Yummy on 12/11/2020 - 20:25

      Nope

      Ordered mine on 17th Sept. Charged last night, shipped this evening.

      You got plenty of time.

    • yummycoot on 12/11/2020 - 20:33

      it will be when Amazon ships it, I guess you havent shopped with amazon before?

    • oO0Dam0Oo on 12/11/2020 - 20:33

      Nah should be fine as they don't charge your account until the item is shipped.

    I suspect the units Target were allocated were instead handed over to Catch, considering there's many comments here about Catch having stock for a short time this afternoon.

    • qzcbmo on 12/11/2020 - 21:20

      highly doubt it, I reckon Target's IT did a test this arvo and found that it will get fxxked with traffic so they didn't go ahead…

        Could be - they're in the middle of the Click Frenzy promotion (ends tonight), so the last thing they want is their servers going down for the rest of their non-gaming customers while that's on. Maybe they'll upload their ps5 page tomorrow, after that promotion's done.

  • jayboi on 12/11/2020 - 23:50

    Also has free delivery
    Hurry before its out of stock

    • t0087669 on 12/11/2020 - 23:59

      is digital not as popular as disk version? do you know when is the estimated delivery?

      • DeliriousWhale on 13/11/2020 - 00:08

        disk is more cost conservative in the long run. i.e. you can just buy second hand games instead of paying full price. digital you only have one option, buy from sony.

    • qzcbmo on 13/11/2020 - 00:05

      $799…???

  • nailsforlunch on 13/11/2020 - 00:00

    Amazon just took the money out of my account within the last hour. Odd time for them to take it out as I doubt they're shipping it at 11:30pm and I know it's normally charged as it's shipped…

    • qzcbmo on 13/11/2020 - 00:02

      amazon not charging at that moment they phsically shipped it. but yes you are getting a ps 5 next week for sure.

      • nailsforlunch on 13/11/2020 - 00:07

        Yeah it tells me by 9pm on this Monday. "arriving Monday". Now the money is out of my account I'm not sure if I even wanted it that bad lol. I'm no scalper though, keen to play some games but I'm not sure if I can even afford to buy a game haha.

        I was hoping for big w or target so I could afterpay it, but I'll take a Monday delivery instead.

        When I got home in my apartment building in the elevator on the way up another tenant had his Ps5 parcel going upstairs, was jealous

        • AllanGG on 13/11/2020 - 00:34

          Did you purchase it today or preorder from amazon?

          • nailsforlunch on 13/11/2020 - 01:12

            @AllanGG: Purchased around 9:05 am in the morning when the big rush was on. I was meant to order earlier but dozed off after my alarm went off lol

            • superhans123 on 13/11/2020 - 03:03

              @nailsforlunch: Did they update your tracking? I ordered mine the same time too and Amazons taken my money but no change in the tracking status.

              • whimsicalwhirly on 13/11/2020 - 10:52

                @superhans123: Same as you man. I wouldn't worry as it's the normal Amazon process - you get charged at the start of the shipping process. I would expect they register with Aus Post tonight.

    • cook99 on 13/11/2020 - 00:03

      Probably them taking it off warehouse shelf and preparing for courier pickup.
      They would operate 24/7 being the distributor they are

    • Roobarb on 13/11/2020 - 12:37

      Amazon took my money yesterday from an order on 17th September, it has not shipped yet and I get a delivery date of 23rd November.

      • MorriJ on 13/11/2020 - 13:23

        Yeah, it looks like day 1 stock for Amazon is stuck between warehouse and being picked up. It could be the fact they are using signature on delivery, which would suggest a different carrier as AusPost don't do a signature on delivery being contactless deliveries.

        My order was yesterday at just past 9am with delivery date of 17-24 November - ie Amazon appeared to have stock at 9am when i ordered, some time between 9:00am and 9:03am, confirmation was at 9:05am via email. I was charged for the item at 1:06pm yesterday but no shipping confirmation yet still.

    • BuyOrNot on 14/11/2020 - 00:20

      Is it the disc or digital edition?

  • qzcbmo on 13/11/2020 - 00:03

    OKAY, no luck for target. Let's call it a day. go to sleep everybody!

  • bananhana on 13/11/2020 - 00:06

    After looking at eBay/gum tree listing anyone else tempted to sell their ps5?

    • nailsforlunch on 13/11/2020 - 00:09
      +3

      It's tempting, if I sold it for 1500 which seems simple enough I'd essentially get a free Ps5, but I'm not a scumbag either. I think I'd have to sell it at cost or not at all. $750 profit is not enough for me to be total scum.

      • popsiee on 13/11/2020 - 09:20

        Its not too hard to play PS4 or another platform for a few more months and buy it again with dough in your pocket .
        If I had the option its a no brainer !
        My bad for being asleep on this one :)

      • ozvictor on 13/11/2020 - 09:28

        I think the people who are lucky to ordered from Amazon and receive it next week can still sell it for $1500, for those arrive in unknown date in December, maybe 1k. Still I feel sorry for those paying double for a console, but unfortunately some people are impatient nowadays

      classic HN being HN. They'll hold your money for as long as possible and not provide an estimated delivery date. They also have the worst customer support options available. No call centre - only live chat, but worst thing is they take hours to respond to their live chat.

    • Agent009 on 13/11/2020 - 12:46

      HN always send this message out when the item isn't available for immediate delivery.

      My son got the same message last week when he preordered the new Call of Duty. I wouldn't worry about it.
