    I appreciate it, but don’t worry about it. I’ll get it eventually. I’m going to still be 90% PC anyway. Right now it’s the thrill of the chase but this chase hasn’t been very fun so I’m going to either luck into one or get it when stock is not so silly.

    Yes. The Nintendo Switch for about 3 months. I looked for a Switch Lite daily for about 3 weeks because my wife got ahold of Mario Odyssey and wouldn’t let me continue my games. lol

    Walmart keeps letting me put in my CC info then says sold out. Assholes.

    Did we feel like we didn't know anything about the Switch though? I feel like we knew a ton about it even if I was skeptical of the whole switch premise at first. Most people on these preorders are just "ps5 that's all I need to know" ... Or they're resellers

    I guess I just feel like I havent seen a lot of it (software mainly) or we are learning things just in the last couple of weeks like even the measurements of the console just came out. I just saw the $70 games story come out.

    I'm just used to seeing a lot more in the run-up to major new hardware. This has been mostly secretive until it's just about to launch.

    The $70 game thing has been around for months.

    I'll give you we haven't seen a ton of next gen gameplay. I think this year has played out much differently than it would have under normal circumstances. We would have seen a lot of this at the big conferences probably.

    announcing another FF and conspiring to throttle Irush’s internet so that he can’t get the premier JRPG machine

    Nintendo doesn’t know shit about marketing or advertising, they just go for innovative hardware as well as extremely fun and polished games

    but the simple “play your Zelda or Mario in console or handheld” premise a billhadersignmeup.gif moment as I’m sure it was for everyone

    Follow up to this:

    There are a lot of people setting up fake accounts, bidding these up to unrealistic prices, and forfeiting the purchase to run out the clock on scalpers while the supply catches up to demand. Also doing this with the new RTX.

    Bless them for fighting fire with fire.

    System glitch that will lead to all of those orders being canceled. Don’t bother.

    Yeah, you'd think they would have allotted 1 PS5 for each email they sent out, and then send additional emails out for the amount that were left over.

    Didn't realize Street fighter V was on PS+. Good example of a game I wanted to just play a few times but not really pay for.

    If anyone got the PS5 email about getting a pre-order from Sony, but already has one reserved from somewhere else, and wants to be super awesome. Can I get a link to buy one when they send it out?

    This has been something. I got to the front of the queue to get where you are supposed to be able to preorder only go to a screen that says we are trying to get you in. We're experiencing very high traffic. My wait time is more than an hour. No one could see this coming.
