...is what I would be saying if Sony's site didn't suck ass.

I got one of those (legit) emails from Sony telling me to log in to their site at such and such time for a chance to get a PS5. Naturally the site is beyond slow and it's taking forever to move between pages. But eventually I manage to get to the payment page only, the field for the Card Number isn't editable! THE FUCK!?!

And so it goes I guess... Not even sure why I want one at this point other than "they're hard to get and I could get one".

Theyre an insanely huge upgrade over the standard PS4. Not too many PS5 exclusives yet, but its nice to have just for how much better everything else runs on it

The chips used in making them are in short supply. Its a problem that could last into 2023.

Dunno how the Sony website works with PS5s, I'd always join the queue and get stuck with a more than an hour wait time. I also never receive any of those e-mails from Sony, dunno why. I did buy the PS5 controller charging station from them and had no issues with that one.

I eventually got a PS5 from Walmart.

No idea what the issue was. Maybe next time I'll try Chrome instead of Firefox, as if that should have any effect.

It's not like I even have a regular PS4! I have a Pro. There's no real reason to need a PS5 now. But you send me the damn email, entice me, and then your site is fucked. Like...do better...

This is a great time to sell a PS4 Pro btw. I sold my Pro for $280 USD right after getting my PS5, so the upgrade didn't cost that much.

Too bad I just have a regular PS4. It's not needed too much due to the PS5. I'm holding out hope that I can mod it.

I think I'll keep my regular PS4 in case I ever want to play PT again.

I got two from Walmart last holiday season, seemed like the best site to beat the bots due to slightly staggered drops.

Now since then I've been trying to get myself a 3070 or 3080 and had no luck.

By the time they relieve the PS5 shortage it will be time for previews of the PS6.

PS5 isn't coming until at least 2027. Wouldn't be surprised if it's 2028 instead.

Just want to reiterate that the best way to get one of these is the Gamestop bundles.
