Mine got delivered today a few days early. Loving the speed of the apps on it for streaming content.

Just saw 10 other people say they just got their cancelation email just 5 minutes ago. Still alive over here but starting to wonder if they ever had any to begin with and fully expecting to wake up to a cancellation. Fingers crossed.

Sure enough just woke up to a cancelation email sent out at 5:31 am. I didn't even want the PS5 that bad yet because of the lack of titles but after making it so far in this process and being denied I'm ready to go torch the Kohl's headquarters.

Use Kohl's bucks as kindling

I might have to try demon souls. I beat spider man and it was pretty but that DS game looked awesome.

Why does everyone say "beat"? Isn't it more like "finished"?

Lol mine got cancelled too but I'm not even mad cause the 180 kohl's bucks

In reply to FL_Ag1998 This. Plus, I think it's case by case. You don't really beat a game like Firewatch. You just finish it. You do beat a game like Cuphead. It's an adversary you have to overcome due to its difficulty.

Sony has an amazing factory they built in 2018, used for PS4 but likely being retooled for PS5. They were able to churn out a console every 30 seconds. The rumor in July was they were having a problem down the supply chain with the yields of the processor and it was slowing everything down. You can only assemble devices as fast as the processors are being produced. Pretty much every other component can be multi-sourced or subcontracted to more efficient partners, but can't happen with the processor.

In reply to Not a Bot AMD has TSMC cranking out as many 7nm wafers as they can, but they are being split between their server CPUs, their new Ryzen 5000 series which is on top of the desktop CPU market now, their first competitive GPUs at the high end with Radeon 6000 series, the Xbox series SoC, and the PS5 SoC.

Good position for AMD to be in in terms of of market position, but TSMC only has so much capacity. The good thing is that the yields on the TSMC 7nm process sounds like it's pretty good as it's a pretty mature process at this point.

In reply to tamusc I wanted to invest in AMD two years ago on Christmas day when it was around $16/share but didn't. Just checked and it closed at $85 today. Another whiff by me.

The gamestop thing started at 9 pm central. I constantly refreshed and tried to add to cart for one hour, but I could never get anything added to my cart. They seem to make stuff available randomly.

I know I've ready plenty of articles and seen videos talking about how big this is but holt crap this console is a monster.

In reply to Not a Bot Maybe he'll let you play with his big one.

2 crashes last night while playing Spider-Man remastered. One during a cutscene, the second while swinging through the city. Couldn't use controller to start it back up, had to use power button on ps5. Then got the dreaded rebuilding message. Still working though.

This would seem a hair contradictory with yesterday's comments.

GameFly called to confirm my shipping address and everything, and the order shows as submitted on their site! FINALLY!

Queue up on sony's site. If you're reading this, it is probably too late.

Started with a time of 10 minute wait, which is the least I've had to wait on any of these queues. Then it said 26. Then it said 43. Then it said more than an hour. Now it says 26. Some thing tells me I'm not going to get one.

Turns out the PS5 is still in my cart at Walmart. Didn't delete history or clear cache from the last time. So maybe I've got a little bit better chance.
