Old guy question lol. So I can continue with my PS4 game saves on a PS 5 right? I just have to upload the PS4 info to the cloud and then download it on the PS5? Anyone know?

Anyone have any luck with the midnight orders?

For the life of me I can't understand why the retailers can't come up with some sort of workaround to beat the purchasing bots. I'm not a software person, I don't understand how one would go around doing that, but I imagine it's possible and not very difficult to do
We had one in our Sam's cart last night and it was removed before we could checkout, damnit!

Luckily, I just picked up one from Best Buy. Sold out in minutes.

This is exactly right. Also, to save space on your PS5 you might want to consider moving your PS4 to an external hard drive. The PS5 can play PS4 games from a hard drive, but you will not be able to play your PS5 games from an external HD. You can only store them there.

Damn I just looked at Best Buy right before you posted this and nothing. What time did you order it?

I got lucky. Randomly refreshed Best Buy site and had option to add to cart at 8:20. Looks like it was sold out in 3 mins or so.

Just got on the Walmart site and it is going *very* slow. Did a mock checkout of something else to make sure my info was correct and stuck on swirling circle.

Keep at it. Took me several tries. First it wouldn't take the credit card security code, but after several tries if finally worked after I re-entered the card info from scratch.

What do you guys think the odds are of being able to get one tomorrow for those of us who couldn't pre-order? Walmart will have some online tomorrow supposedly starting at 12pm ET. Going to be refreshing like crazy tomorrow. Any other retailers going to be worth trying?


I got mine from Wal Mart on the 2nd wave. My advice is try to get it in your cart and no matter what, keep trying to check out even if it says it's gone. I kept trying to push the transaction upwards of 15 times and it went through.
This is what i was thinking of.
