    Just make sure you don’t go plotting in an old man’s garden or betray your friends.

    I wonder what that's about. Did they say how long that delay might be?

    Probably just to cover their ass because they know people will bitch about not having their PS5 on release day. It sucks, but it happens. Would definitely see alot more people mad about not getting a PS5 than a game or plastic figure. Especially with the production numbers not being as high as Sony would like.

    I just read about the email on IGN. The email definitely comes off as them trying to get ahead of the fact that they more than likely oversold.

    Visiting my usual haunts and talking to folks irl, it really seems like it's mainly a CYA thing. I went back and looked and I've actually received similar emails for a variety of things from them. I have an original email showing an estimated delivery for a PS4 almost a month after it came out, but it definitely came on release day. I'm sure there is still room for people to be bummed out, but I think it'll work out. Now, if your retailer starts just cancelling orders, then it's time to smash that panic button.

    They're still going to have the sales. Stores are going to need sales to make their holiday.

    What their PR dude told them to say, but here is what I think they actually said:

    Yo, what the hell mother fucker? This is a god damn launch for a new god damn console, and the fifth time the Playstation has done this. You should be used to this shit now dumbass!

    You know damn well that we are going to make more consoles than just the initial batch for its actual release date, but you need to chill the fuck out and realize consoles don't just grow on trees. They don't get made over night. It's going to take time!

    Relax and shut your entitled ass up!

    Preordering a PS5 was way easier for me than preordering an exclusive action figure *looks at NECA, Target Joes, and pretty much all Con exclusives*

    Same. Well, that and the new Horizon.
    Actually, I need a second one for my daughter, but I'm not sure which version to get yet.

    Admittedly, I never paid attention when Xbox One and PS4 first launched, but do new consoles actually go on sale on Black Friday? That doesn't seem possible given they're releasing two weeks beforehand.

    I plan on getting the PS5 when God of War Ragnarok releases. I’ll just get Miles Morales on PS4.
