The Gen is finally kicking into gear. Let's get this party started!!!!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I finally got an invite from Amazon to buy a PS5 this past week and I let it expire. I really see no reason to get one right now. OnceI can safely go to a store or order online without jumping through hoops, then maybe.

 

[existensmaximum]

Meanwhile in Sweden, the PS5 is still impossible to get...

No problem here in germany. Just follow some bots on Twitter or Telegram and you get a bundle in 2-3 weeks max.

Come to Denmark, we have plenty

Thanks guys, I have one almost since release

Just saying, the stock here is severely limited.

(Fun fact: I'd love to move to either Denmark or Germany)

The cheapest disk PS5 is right now 749€.
Cheapest diskless PS5 759€. lol
Cheapest disk bundle, Fifa, is 775€.
So quite above the MSRP of 549€.

X can be ordered for 500, S currently 260.

I can get "one of those consoles", correct, but I obviously want the wrong one...

PS5s are $499 and $399 where I am at right now. Series X is $499 and I have seen the Series S for $249.

 

[Kvally]

Come to Denmark, we have plenty

And in Norway.

I have the same 3 work colleagues in the Netherlands that find it impossible to buy a PS5 either at Amazon.nl, MediaMarkt or Bol. Any tips for the Netherlands?

 

[adamsapple]

Feel lucky I got an SX at launch and will pick up a PS5 late 2023 as well, hopefully they have a slimmer/cheaper Disc model available by then. Not planning to go digital only any time soon.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The numbers that post is doing, lmao.

People are hungry. This fall will be a bloodbath

Did They say where it was? I’m scared to click comments for Obvious reasons

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Looks just like the stock at my WalMart in Southern IN honestly.

WalMart needs to figure out how to get the extras sitting in stores like mine (and this) to store that people need some

Plus my one GameStop has had them for quite awhile now

I don't know how you held out for this long. Glad I was able to get both at launch.

 

[reksveks]

NPD numbers today.

Should be seeing decent/big HW increases.

Curious about PS5 numbers considering this stock increase lately.

 

[LimanimaPT]

Yeah no reason someone who really wants one of these consoles doesn't have one by now.

I have seen a lot of Series X sitting and shelves in multiple stores in Indiana and Florida and a few PS5s on shelves in Indiana

No reason if you're in the us, right? Try to get one in Portugal...

 

[Skifi28]

I can find a PS5 just about anywhere these days, but only in extremely expensive bundles for over 700 euros which doesn't make sense. Did Sony triple the 50 euro increase to 150 without anybody noticing? You could probably find one for much cheaper during the scalping days.

Those are retailer bundles. Taking advantage of the demand like scumbags

Ya they had a shitload of ps5s at a GameStop yesterday but you have to buy a game with it though.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

i could've got one by now if i wanted but i'm waiting for more games and a PS5 Slim model.

once my PC gives up i'll get a Series X (slim hopefully) as my main console.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I bought mine like 2 years ago….

Waiting for ps6 now

I'm still trying to get a Raspberry Pi.

Trying to make up for a little bit of that $200 loss per console. At least until they increase the price.

Here in Japan I can only find them on mercari (our version of ebay) at silly scalper prices or you can sign up for the lottery-style "invitation" system on Amazon. I don't know whether other retailers are still selling them but I've never (since launch) seen one in the flesh in a shop.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Imports into the US…from everywhere else in the world. GL finding a PS5 in Europe.

 

[crackajack]

And in Norway.

elkjob.no: Dette produktet er ikke tilgjengelig på nettlager. (=not in stock)
komplett.no: motta varsel. (=get notified)

(contrary to Xbox: legg till i handlekurv / legg i handlevogn = add to basket)

Our definition of "plenty" differs. Those prices, 5300/6300NoK are also not superenticing anyway.

Getting rid of extra stock making way for the new controller with improved haptics and triggers

Getting rid of extra stock making way for the new controller with improved haptics and triggers

"I got a Series X, but I had to buy an extra controller."

"One of those new ones, with the enhanced haptics and shit?"

"What? No, just the regul ... oh, son of a bitch."

 

[twilo99]

I could easily see ps5 give a slim version given how insanely huge it is.

Xbox Series X is surprisingly small (only seen it at a retailer), so I doubt it can get much smaller

I don’t think it’s the x being small but rather the ps5 being excessively large..

 

[saintjules]

Currently more available on PS Direct. Up for hours and not selling out.

Everyone who said the OG Xbox and 360 were too big for Japanese houses are looking at thus gen going wtf.

I think I've seen Japanese hotel rooms smaller than the ps5

Are they all not selling out or just the digital edition? (I don't have a Playstation US account so I cannot login and see it properly).

Pretty much every version seems to be in stock. It looks like a massive drop.

Wow, in that case I'm jealous!
I'm in Japan and I swear PS5s are more precious than diamonds here lol

 

[Bonfires Down]

I did see the Ragnarök bundle in stock for like 24 hours on Swedish Amazon so that’s a new record I think. Also a FIFA bundle available for a few hours. Everything normal priced has been cleaned out now though.

 

[remember_spinal]

damn i might pull the triggger on a digital

 

[Ronin_7]

Great to see huge stock arriving in many places!

Just clicked on them and they're all still in stock.

Will be interesting to see what these weeks numbers are but it does still sound like JP and ES are getting shafted.


Re: NPD November numbers
“November video game hardware dollar sales declined 38% when compared to November 2020, to $883 million,” said Piscatella. “November hardware spending fell to its lowest total since November 2016, $759 million, driven by a lack of available console inventory.”

November 2020: $1,424
November 2021: $883

From https://venturebeat.com/games/november-2021-npd-elusive-new-gen-consoles-drag-down-industry-sales/

I suspect that we are going to see $1,600

 

[Mozza]

Hopefully more stock will deter the scalpers, and bundles also helps with this too.

 

[saintjules]

November NPD gonna be crazy.

Some stats outside UK Boxed Charts for once?

 

[ManaByte]

There is plenty of stock in the US for this holiday.
