    Target, where art thou?

    • Faded…under the sea…

    • +2

      they really missed the target with this drop……I'll see myself out

  • +1

    BigW order status changed to "Being Fulfilled". One step closer..pheww

    • +1

      Mine changed to that last night and was shipped this morning. I think you're good!

      • Yeah mate hoping for same. When is your expected delivery?

        • +1

          The one I ordered yesterday is arriving tomorrow and was shipped 2hrs after I ordered.

          I live in Geelong and its been sent from Sydney

        • +1

          It just says "5 business days after pickup". I'm in Perth. Appears to be shipping from Sydney.
          The product page just before I added to cart did say 24th-26th though, and I think that'll be accurate.

          • @rith: If its all coming from Sydney HQ then its nice, I live not far from that :)

    • Congrats! Mine still stuck at payment received.

    • +1

      Mine has also updated to Being Fulfilled. Estimation was 20th-24th so I assume if it gets shipped tomorrow it'll come on Friday if lucky but Monday otherwise.

  • The RNG order matching is strong with the PS5 it seems…

  • +1

    Mine just updated: Picking in progress WOOOOOOOOOOOO

    • Process god dammit Process it good!

      • -2

        calm down mate. How's gamemens' performance?

    • Same here…Super HYPED!

    • What time did you place your initial order?

  • God damn it Target at least tell us if it's not today

  • +2

    Hey, I just called Target Head Office a few seconds ago asking when they were going to release the PS5, and the dude said that they have sold out ???

    I asked him when they went live on the website, and he said it was midday yesterday ??????????

    I've been watching this like a hawk, and there is no way that really happened.

    • +2

      sounds like head office bs, someone on this thread would've said something about that..

      if it was true, the page should be updated to "SOLD OUT" instead of "Releasing soon."

    • +1

      There's 0 chance I've been watching too, what's the bet they can't obtain stock and aren't saying anything

    • +1

      no true, was spamming those pages and the redirect was in place all through midday in all 3 time zones.

    • +1

      Nope, didn't happen.

    • +1

      They kept me onhold to confirm with a supervisor, because I told them that it never happened.

      A few minutes later they came back and confirmed that it happened at midday on the 17th, which is a load of crap.

      They said that they have secured another batch, for release late Dec but I don't believe a word they say.

      I asked them why the page had never changed from " Releasing soon. Please check this page for release timing updates.
      Not available for in-store purchase", and they said they would look into it.

      Don't get your hopes up with target, as it sounds like they never got stock at all, and are just in damage control mode.

    • +1

      This may sound like a conspiracy theory but…say you worked for target and knew exactly when the PS5 was set to drop, hypothetically one could just tell all your mates about the exact time, it'll sell out within a minute of it going live and most proly and up on ebay. Hope it's not the case but just saying…

      • Probably exactly what's happening at many place.

  • +3

    Wow so Big W orders made yesterday are already starting to ship. Well done to those who managed to order one yesterday

    • Ones made in the morning are/have. Ones made in the afternoon are in the process but it's starting to look slightly promising.

      • Mine was ordered in the afternoon and has shipped.

        • Did you get any email updates when it shipped? And if so roughly at what time?

          • @stargate1995: Yep shipment confirmation received at 5:39 WST.

  • Wait Target still hasn't dropped their PS5?

    • +4

      They probably did (off the crate and broke them all)…hence why not on their website :)

    • Target is completely dysfunctional. Just take a look at their FB page. lol

    • Apparently they did at midday yesterday, if you believe them.

      Like many, I've been watching their site like a hawk and it never happened

      • +1

        They're getting confused between Big W and themselves

    • -1

      They literally have..

  • Maybe Target is concerned about their site being nuked when the PS5 drops so they are trying to throw everybody off? That or they never had stock to begin with lmao

    • +2

      Or they're busy selling them for 3 times the price on Ebay

  • Ahhh why am I refreshing my Big W order like a madman. Still stuck on payment received…

    • No worse than still refreshing a launch day cart on Gamesman website, waiting to see if any orders cancel.

  • +1

    Big W order updated

    error > awaiting process > being fulfilled (now) HYPE

    • What time did you place your initial order? Oh man this is crazy. I feel like I'm so close!!

      • +1

        4:40:37pm

        • I placed my order at exactly same time, still shows Error :(

          • @ricky93: Are they actually doing that draw method (cancelling 50% of orders) as someone mentioned before….?

            • -2

              @skido: Yes they are…

              • +1

                @qzcbmo: welp, I guess I got lucky then? my status went from error -> awaiting processing and payment received

                • @skido: When are you expected to receive your console? Soon? Or sometime in December?

                  • @Agent009: It doesn’t say, where can I check that ?

                    • @skido: No idea sorry, was just wondering if they provided an eta or if they were in stock for immediate delivery

              • +1

                @qzcbmo: There is no evidence of that. Most of commentators here have their orders reaching at least at payment received stage (from error). You have nothing to lose so hang on and hopefully the status changes soon for you.

  • Seems like every time someone calls Target they give a different answer

    • Exactly why I think they are trying to throw people off and drop them out of nowhere

      • +1

        You watch them drop tomorrow

  • +1

    target staff probs hogged the stock for themselves 😂😭

    • They are reselling them on eBay.

      • Yeah if you want to pay $2000

  • you might get a PS5 next year if you're lucky…

    "Releasing Soon" - April 2021

  • +16

    anybody here? just found my new addiction - checking this thread every a few minutes…

    • The thrill of the Hunt

    • Yea this, refreshing target and my BIGW order from yesterday's afternoon that I'm PRAYING will go through and get shipped tomorrow just like it happened for someone on here.

      Literally every 2 minutes

      • did you upgrade to A7 siii?

        • I didn't, it's abit too pricey for me and also I'm still rocking my A7Sii and learning how to utilize it more.

          So I think I've got a while to go before I get to the point where I feel like I'm good enough for an upgrade (and possibly a new gimbal)

    • When was your order placed? This is like some sadistic form of torture!

      Then I think "well it's after hours now so I won't see any updates tonight" then remember that others had their order status changed late at night and I go back to refreshing.

      • I placed it at the 4:20PM window yesterday. My status only changed to "Payment Received. Thank you" today.

        I get what you mean, I read about people ordering yesterday at 11AM, and having it packed at 3PM, shipped from AUSPOST at 9PM AND THEN arrived at the location city THIS MORNING ready to be picked up tomorrow (LOL)

        Then in contrast you have those like us who doesn't even know whether we'll make the 50% lottery or not…. lol!

        • Was it at 4:20 exactly? Trying to work out if they are just going through in order, how close i am, whyyyyyyy did I bloody hesitate before adding it to cart

          • @compacc: I made the order at 4:40PM. I hope they are going through the order also.

            I hesitated as well, with the first September wave I had so many chances but I thought there'll always be another opportunity. Oh boy how much have I suffered for that.

            But for both yours and my sake and everybody else here I sincerely hope that target will open their reorder soon

            • @A7SiiGE66: Can't afford to have another $750 tied up at target while big dub have my money!!!

              • @compacc: I mean you can always ask for a refund right?
                If you end up getting 2 by accident you can always sell it back to someone near by for retail price.

                I'm sure someone would be stoked to get it off you.

                • @A7SiiGE66: I meant my CC would decline if I managed to secure a Target order while my Big W transaction is still paid but in limbo. Don't want to ask Big W for a refund right now in case they come through for me.

      I got the Commentator badge because of this thread.

    This thread is the real next gen console. I don't need a PS5 or XSX while it's so active…

  • +3

    Can't lie, I am liable to check this thread every hour or so since launch day, maybe the true PS5 is the friends I have made along the way

    • +1

      We also love you HasuSeyo.

  • +7

    There is no better game coming to next gen then the one everyone is playing now. These highs you get from thinking you secured a console then the lows when you didn't. There is nothing better

    • +4

      can't wait for the "Approach to Christmas Day" DLC, apparently its going to be twice as hard as the main game

  • edit: wrong info, ignore.

  • They should release a "Dark Pre-order" game where the only goal is to secure a console pre Xmas.
    Would make Dark Souls look like a baby's game

    • +1

      Could easily be the hardest game of all time

      • +1

        They could implement pay to win micro transactions where you can just pay scalpers in win immediately

  • -4

    Lost respect for big w, for lying to it's customers about ps5 availability. I've called them up several times only to be told that stock won't be available for the rest of the year than they pull this. Stupid lying (profanity). No integrity whatsoever.

  • +3

    Well my mate who purchased through Harvey Norman last Thursday spoke to them on the phone. They said his order is assigned to drop 2 and he will have it before Xmas…sometime around 15th December.

  • In an update on my Big W order…

    • So I placed it on the 17-11-2020 at 04:40:51 PM
    • Received both the paypal authorisation and big w order acknowledgement emails
    • Look at order history and had the Error under status
    • Yesterday the Error status message went away and was replaced with "Awaiting Processing" and when tracking it says "Status: Payment Received, Thank you"
    • Today I awoke and whilst it still says "Awaiting Processing" however when tracking the order it now says "Status: Being Fulfilled"

    So whilst it could still be awhile away, at least it is progressing through the order stages….

  • Big W Status Update: Picking in progress

    • That sounds extremely positive!!!

      Wish mine said that lol

    • +1

      I am imagining someone, walking into the massive warehouse and searching for ps5. No one has heard from the fella since yesterday. Perhaps that explains the Picking in Progress status :)

    • Noice. Mine is still "Being Fullfilled". What was your order time?

      • +1

        4:41

        Well it says Status:Being Fulfilled on the tracking, but then going into the order history it also says Status: Picking in progress

        • ahhh. I check out as a guest so can't check the order history. So may be mine is same as yours then :P

    • Hmmm which one should I choose. Eeeny meeny miny moe….

  • Hey cool community.

    Has anyone from the 9am Amazon drop on the 12th gotten a clear delivery date yet ?

    I've been ETA of the 17th to 24th since then, and although I've never had an issue with Amazon, I'm freaking out a little because of the scale of stuff ups with most retailers concerning the PS5.

    • +1

      Same boat but appears others got it delivered already…
