Legend! Thank you so much for providing the screenshots for everyone :)
You're welcome! I know EB Games might be. So, this would act as evidence/proof just in case they turn around and say something else (they're not always like that btw, just on the odd occasion)
Saw a post on FB, got the one with Horizon.
Gone in 10 mins indeed…
Ah dang. Missed this one. Looks like the listing was up for longer than thirty seconds, though. Bodes well for getting myself one by Christmas!
Just get it through Vodafone… 3-5 days for delivery and no stock issues. You'll need an nbn connection but with Vodafone mobile, it's relatively well priced.
The ps5 twitter accounts were slower than ozbargain this time, the time when I am not on ozbargain, missed out. Wanted the black controller pack.
Yeah, why were they all so slow, any reason? The posts on ozbargain was 10-15 min earlier. Are the usually that slow? I got all 3 notifications (Twitter/discord) within seconds of each other. Seems a bit weird.
Silly comment. I have a PC with a 3070 in it which cost me more than my Xbox series X. Add components and a decent monitor (Most people already have a reasonable TV) and you're way above console price. Not to mention the form factor and ease of use.
When you say not even an upgrade, upgrade from what? People are coming from different systems.. i had a Xbox one s before so it's definitely an upgrade.
Last PS I had was a PS3 so a 5 would be nice, when they're actually available.
Yeah PCs are great, shame about the users though.
Did anyone else not get a confirmation email?
Nevermind, got it :)
I managed to grab the cosmic red controller bundle. Appreciate it might be a price error, but any idea if EB would match the $495 deal if I’m trading my Xbox One S (1tb) instead of a PS4? If not, better to sell privately on FB or trade in to EB separately or as part of this deal?
Nope, it's specifically for PS4 consoles.
If you trade in your One S you'll just get the same trade in value as you normally would.
I always miss out. I'm always here except when it counts.
Can I trade in my PS4? How much is the value for 1tb?
They don't seem to have listed the 1tb in the promotion. I am in the same boat as I've a slim 1tb. Also have a Pro though, so not sure if I should take the Pro down or the 1tb when I go to pick it up.
Snagged and deposit debited from my CC pretty much immediately.. What are the chances of this reversing for some unknown reason - or is it definite that it's gone through and stock won't be an issue by 31/3?
Sounds like, if you haven't had a cancellation like Halvar below, then you're probably solid.
Saving their shipment being lost overboard or damaged or something.
I got the best deal. I won a ps5 about a month ago and got it delivered last week!
Nobody likes a smug OzBargainer.
But congrats on your win anyway. I guess.
Thank you! I have been dying to say it for a while!
lol
was able to get the one
nope my order was cancelled, no email or anything
no idea why.
Then how do you know it was cancelled?
um the ebgames website on Order History
5head.
Damn, sucks to be you
so why am i being downvoted just because my order was cancelled?
so called ebgames they cant help, they cancelled a few orders because well limited stock. so bs. and they wont put me on a waitlist or help at all.
so i called jb to get on their waitlist, nope to full.
looks like i miss out.
Have you bought ps5 with the same acc before?
What games are everyone getting? I'm thinking of playing these games in this order.
Then I want to see what ps4 exclusives are worth it. Will I be able to use my friends Ghost of Tsushima's disc to purchase the directors cut upgrade digitally and play it using his disc?
Will I be able to use my friends Ghost of Tsushima's disc to purchase the directors cut upgrade digitally and play it using his disc?
For sure, end of the day all the discs are the same, whether you use your friend's or one from the shop.
You'll need the disc though to play of course, but you can borrow it and upgrade.
My first games are Elden Ring and It Takes Two. I know they are not ps5 exclusives or anything, but I don't have any other way to play them and I'm very excited :)
I put in 60 hours into Elden Ring first few days it's so good. And also finished It Takes Two had lots of fun with that one.
I wonder what upcoming exclusives there are since I have a pc already
Horizon. Whole family likes it.
Then GT7…
Then…we'll see.
I do not understand what the hype is on ps 5 plus the high price
I don't understand your inability, to not understand………
Limited supply and high demand. Perfect storm.
Price seems about as expected to me….except for the scalpers and pawnbrokers asking retail + 50% for used and incomplete consoles.
Really, I guess props to Sony and Microsoft for not exploiting the shortage and asking higher prices. I'm certain they'd prefer to be able to fill the demand though.
I will just wait it out. I don't time to play PS5 nor the exclusives interest me. Give it another a year or two surely price will come down
Seems like there will be supply shortages through to the end of this year, and perhaps into next. Sony won't likely drop the retail, but once there is more supply we should see some better deals in stores - maybe being able to get a bundled additional controller AND game for $750 instead of paying $850 for a bundle including either.
I don't think that will happen until 2023 at the earliest, so I guess your "year or two" is probably realistic. Of course, if you don't have time to play it, don't buy one. I probably have better things I should be doing myself anyway :-)
its already been two years. lol nothings changed
EB Games cancelled my preorder. Asswipes
Which bundle did you order and how did you find out they canceled it?
Controller bundles back in stock, just nabbed one!
EDIT: and sold out again
Bit late, but just wanted to thank you, OP. I’ve been following the PS5 Stock Australia on Twitter for months, but your post here was the reason I was finally able to grab a PS5. Thanks!
Awesome, just got mine, 7 days after ordering not bad.
Ditto. Got the call lunchtime today to collect.
Still installing GT7… now just gotta save for the Fanatec Direct Drive wheel.
Does anyone know if EB games allow the use of gift cards to pay off the rest of the order?
yes you can - i did it last month.
Just got a call to say mine is ready for pickup, winning!
What state are you in?
same, got a call from them yesterday. My collection point is in NSW inner west.
FYI guys, they will honour the trade in. Guy called HO and confirmed if asked :) $445 for trade in is sooo sweet ^^ tide in with 6% Suncorp discount on gift cards. More with trade in bonus too. Prob bring it down to like $650 with a second controller 0.0
Can anyone confirm if it's 1 per account or stock drop? there refusing the pre-order because one has been ordered in the past.
It’s one per person and if they pick up in any way that you have ordered one in the past years they will deny you.
Anyone in VIC got a call yet?
Just got a call from Swanston St for pickup on the weekend! Apparently they are booked out for pickup today and tomorrow for some odd reason.
ACT anyone? Belconnen store in particular. I've not heard anything just yet myself.
Should of got a call…..just bring the ps4 in.
Yeah…as it turns out, they called soon after I posted. Boxed up our PS4 Pro and took it in. They honoured the deal no probs, so no stuffing about on eBay or Gumtree now!
PS5 now set up, and first couple of games downloaded!
So…what's the deal with a trade-in. Do you tell them on the phone, then pack up the PS4 and take it in store?
Just picked mine up and they honoured the price in NSW eastern suburbs - bit of confusion in the store but we got there after two visits.
Got mine in Vic and they honored the trade price. Staff had a book with lots of scenarios so it was a bit confusing but they were super helpful. Very impressed with EB.
Just got the call and the preorder arrived today and is ready for pickup, Maddington WA.
Anyone know if EB let's you swap the bundled game? If not what's the trade in value for horizon?
Just got my ps5, Ebgames staff said internal had discussions that they screwed up with the pricing and just to honour for anyone that asks for the red controller bundle. VIC
Picked up red controller bundle today. Traded in an OG PS4 500GB with $495. Had to show them screenshots of the trade in deal. Took them a couple of minutes but they found the note in the system that they will be honouring the price error.
Has anyone else not received any phone call or emails? I haven’t heard a peep yet.
Never mind. Just saw that they refunded me just a few days after the preorder lol.. waited for nothing!
