can we not I’d rather not turn this into the usual PS vs MS pissing contest? But, that is the S not the X. Both systems have been difficult to get.
Ha. It says down for maintenance. I'm amazed how incompetent all the people involved with these releases are.
I have just now reached the maintenance phase. God damn time zones. How is the future, does anyone have cyborg limbs?
It says I'm in the queue and there's a 16 minute wait. I'm sure they'll be sold out when I get there.
Scalpers are worse this year because of the pandemic IMO. Stores aren’t ordering a ton extra because they didn’t want the crowd. If people could have gone in launch day people wouldn’t be at the mercy of servers/bots.
I got in the Queue.... Went from 1 min wait to 10 minute wait to over an hour.......... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
The good news is now I can hopelessly refresh all the other retailers since I don’t have to hopelessly refresh the ps direct page
And my understanding is they don’t cut you off once they sell out. You just sit in the queue until you come up next and they drop the sold out haymaker on you. hopefully that’s fixed
I checked the box confirming I wasn't a robot and now I'm back in the queue with over an hour wait time. Sounds about right.
Check of twitter suggests everyone had the same thing happen. 1 minute wait. Confirm you're not a robot then timed out and an hour wait.
If you go to the site and hit the escape key before it loads, you can "skip" the queue. The issue is that they haven't loaded stock in yet.
