    I'm convinced Sony just loves a good queue.
    Do you think it's a waste of time to even be in the queue then? I wasn't sure if that was a restriction for the entire launch window or what.

    Unsure

    I’m not sure of the time delay between when the queue starts and when they actually start releasing consoles for sale, and who the hell knows about stock

    PS Direct apparently has it in stock now. Not seeing anyone being able to actually get through the queue yet.

    I believe I answered my own question. I ended up with an error telling me I needed to sign in with my PSN and there's no way past an error in that process. I think they preclude you from ordering a second one at the moment.

    well my wait time now says 58 mins instead of over an hour. Sounds like I would have gotten one if I wouldn't be so damn productive and responsible and good-looking. Bad TMB'ing on my part

    Keep an eye out for your bank to ask if it was a fraudulent charge, almost missed a call from them because I silence all incoming unknown numbers.

    Yup, I didn't get one because it rejected it as fraudulent charges and then went OOS.

    Well this has been a good day for TMBers. 3 of the 4 people I wrote down to try and find a console for have placed an order this morning. It sounds like Sony is starting to catch up to demand already and hopefully it's quick enough to fuck over the botting community that will be stuck with a ton of supply and forced to sell closer to retail.

    How do digital downloads work? My mom wants to buy my kid Spiderman for his birthday. Can she purchase a Spiderman specific gift card that I can use to download it or does she need to buy a playstation general gift card?

    Also need a list of games that I should definitely be picking up. Spiderman, Horizon are on that list already. My kid wants the basketball game as well.

    for these newer games you’ll have to go directly through the PS Store, and stores have gift cards for them. Just make sure they’re for the PlayStation store and not the PS Plus subscription.
