      I get ads for attractive men ready to mingle in my area, while all I see are elder female neighbours.

      Go figure.

      • ChadHominem on 09/11/2021 - 15:55

        Sounds like the right demographic for attractive men

      Scams. The people advertising it are real but a promised money for the scam (they may or may not know it's a scam). One guy I reported told me he didn't know and actually had a guy rock up to his house demanding the ps5… Unaware he been helping out scammers. Imagine scamming the wrong person for them to track you down…

      Try sending them a message. I did, this is how it went:

      1. I was told warehouse is in another state. I had to make a payment into their bank account to get them to post it. Some random shop name and ABN was provided
      2. I said no, then suddenly it appeared in their Sydney warehouse. But the catch is: that person is delivering all day so no one will be at warehouse. If I pay now, it will be delivered within 2 hours
      3. I offered cash on delivery, but that is not how their processing system works. I need to make a payment in advance, then the person is going to call their boss in Brisbane, who processes the order. It will then be delivered to me, within 2 hours. All that time XBOX is still sitting in the car with that person
      4. When pointed out that PAYID sometimes takes 24 hours to appear in the account, how would they know I made the payment? Here comes the best part; I was told to send CARDLESS CASH.
      5. Facebook profile, Business Name, PAYID numbers; all have different names

      Do contact them if you have nothing else to do and want to kill some time. Its good fun.

  • wongyw22 on 09/11/2021 - 12:46

    Got one too at 12.10pmat EB Roselands. Though the girl at the counter didn't really know how many pre-orders they could take, just until head office tells them to stop.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/11/2021 - 12:51

      ohh did she mention "until head office tells them to stop?", cos I asked the person at the counter at EB how the allocations are looking like, and they said they're not sure, which makes sense.

      • wongyw22 on 09/11/2021 - 13:46

        Yeah they said they will keep taking pre-orders until they get told to stop.

  • pikapika on 09/11/2021 - 12:49

    So tempted but too many games need finishing on the ps4 😭

    • netsurfer on 09/11/2021 - 12:51

      Budget permitting, the quality of life enhancements are worth it. While not as quiet as Series X, it is much quieter than PS4 Pro / PS4.

      Problem is, if you kept thinking about it, you will be at the end of the pre-order queue, so hard to tell when you will get it. Double check, but EB games pre-order can be cancelled. $200 deposit is still a bit too much I think.

      • pikapika on 09/11/2021 - 13:17

        I've had these exact thoughts running through my head. But I still can't justify it as much as I want to do so. Tough being an adult sometimes 😪

    • [Deactivated] on 09/11/2021 - 12:52

      get it, it's a great console. especially if you're on the OG 2013 ps4/slim.

  • CottonC on 09/11/2021 - 12:54

    Question about the console trade in deal:

    If you want to trade in your old ps4 at the same time, do you have to bring it in when picking up the ps5?

    • silverrat23 on 09/11/2021 - 13:16

      I believe you can trade it in now and pick up later, paying off the remainder when you do.

      Did the same with the Xbox One controller deals, but best to contact your local to confirm.

  • fatpizza on 09/11/2021 - 12:58

    Ordered today; in Person in Queensland EB store just after noon.

  • giu on 09/11/2021 - 13:17

    Ordered from Burwood NSW. Two people in front of me at the time. They said they have been flat out all morning. Quoting 4-6 week delivery time.

  • Section on 09/11/2021 - 13:36

    UPDATE:
    Just went to Melbourne Central EB Games and preordered one for my bro who’s been trying to get one for so long but is working and couldn’t go today.

    Spoke to the staff and they said they don’t have an allocation and that they just wait until head office informs them to stop taking pre orders.

    They also flat out said at least Mid December for these consoles to arrive, fingers crossed!

    Wish everyone the best of luck to get one.

  • Red Pandas on 09/11/2021 - 14:13

    So what happens if they over sell preorders then head office says not enough allocations after already taking customers money?

    Do we all get a call for refund at that point, especially later orders? Or moved onto next allocation?

    ^TLDR - read some, noticed 10 minutes ago, phoned in Far North QLD [no $10 for 10 Wicked Wings thanks Yumi!] - phone not off hook - went in paid deposit - done.

    Got sick of trying to win, lady said maybe late Nov (will assume early-late Dec otherwise).

    Better console, got a disc drive, could have got Series S pre-owned for under $400 delivered from Cash Converters - And Telstra All Access probs better deal for me, but Too long a pay off (would actually have kept the monthly Ultimate going).

    Yay EB the Cyberpunk Game guide is massive, got today .

    If the PS4 trade deal extended to the discless and carried the 1t0 less cost, tbh for 400 I'd bite and grab a PS5 for myself despite the missus having one and me not caring really at all about it.

        Doesn’t matter as if you cancel the plan you just pay out the console price

        • Kimdv1234 on 09/11/2021 - 18:50

          This indeed :). You do need to have a Telstra account but it can be an old one without any active plans.

        • Garagesale on 09/11/2021 - 21:03

          And pay out the game pass?

          • Kimdv1234 on 09/11/2021 - 21:58

            @Garagesale: I think you’d have to get a month to month phone plan @ min $50 but I had an old account so no idea. Paper work says that game pass stops when you cancel and that you have to pay the remainder left on the Xbox which would still be cheaper than buying it outright..

  • ce5himm on 09/11/2021 - 17:58

    picked up my Forza controller. Had some talk, my local shop sold around 40 ps5. Xbox is still going but shouldn't last too long.

  • garworsby on 09/11/2021 - 18:22
    +2

    For anyone still after a PS5 and is looking for advice, I got the disc-version from my local JB last Friday. I went into the store one Saturday, put my name on their no-deposit "expression of interest" list and then six days later they called to say it was ready for me. This was just last Friday (the 5th).

    I've seen other people say they did the same thing and was just as fast and easy. That's why I tried it myself. I don't know if it'll work so well for everyone but it certainly worked well for me.

    And with EB, for anyone feeling bad that they missed it, there are people on Twitter who say they paid a $200 deposit with them months ago and are still waiting and are now told their order won't be ready until after Christmas, so getting in a pre-order with them doesn't seem to really mean all that much.

    • serpserpserp on 09/11/2021 - 20:06

      What store?

      • garworsby on 10/11/2021 - 07:16

        Bendigo, Victoria. But I don't think there's anything special about that store. Before I did it myself, I saw about five different people on here recommending this method as the way to go and presumably they were at all different stores.

  • BargainSnatcher on 09/11/2021 - 21:13

    • DanD on 09/11/2021 - 23:37

        Yep, but they are still taking pre order. They can't be getting thousand of units for sure. Yesterday's pole on twitter handle had 1200+ vote for units pre-ordered so assuming there will be at least 2000+ pre-orders made. There is no way EB will be getting these many units by Nov/Dec.

        • Vegeta on 10/11/2021 - 23:03

          Which poll are you talking about? I know this one https://twitter.com/AustraliaPs5/status/1457940330880245760?…
          31.4% of 2789 = ~876 units

            @Vegeta: No you are right, I misread the number in hurry but still, if this is 876 and not all must have voted so lets say 1000 units, will EB really receiving these many units before Christmas. I seriously doubt it but let's hope they do :)

        • Smigit on 11/11/2021 - 00:14
          +5

          2000 units really isn't a stack. EB has 380 stores, so that's like 6 units a store if its 2000.

          The systems also sold around 13.5 million units in spite of the shortages. I don't think its unreasonable to think Australia won't have a few thousand more units coming over the next 2 months ahead of the major holiday season. A few thousand units for a small but not insignificant market seems pretty realistic to me especially given EB is the dominant gaming outlet in the region.

          If anything I feel 2000 units over 2 months would be relatively small numbers and it'll still leave a lot of people disappointed. That said, I also won't be surprised if some of those orders slip to next year.

          Edit: Apparently in Q2 they shipped 3.3 million units globally, so presumably there's room for AU getting a few tens thousands of units over a 90 day window or so. I’d expect US and a few other regions to get a lions share, but we should see some - https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/10/ps5-console-sales-re…

    Wondering what insane deal Telstra did with MS - got more Series X consoles than the Microsoft Store and Every other Australian seller.

    I assume the hope to keep people Ultimated for 2 years has something to do with it?

    I was told Mid to Late November but worried about others deposits, told months ago & still no EB consoles for 'em.

    EDIT Should T change name to Micro-Telstra?

    • Smigit on 12/11/2021 - 12:25

      They’re the AU partner for the “Xbox All Access” program. I’m sure that comes with some fairly preferential conditions for Telstra in terms of stock allocation since they’ll push more GamePass subscriptions in the process than typical retailers.
