    I believe @OmegaScourge did as well. I also know a colleague who got one through them.

    Yeah i got my invite ~week or two after I signed up. But it was also during the weeks where stores were getting stocked. I think I caught the big output...so not sure how long you might wait this time.

    They do give you a few days advance notice of when you need to login (though they claim even if you sign in its not guaranteed). I was in the queue for ~45mins (which they say is queued up randomly and not by login order). Also PS+ members get free upgraded shipping ($20 without). I ended getting PS+ just prior for $30 then got to save on the shipping price.

    Question, do trophies transfer over to the PS5 when playing a PS4 game?

    Yes, some games like Spider-Man you re earn your trophies when you transfer your save from PS4 to PS5.

    To be fair do PS5 controllers still have drift issues? If so it's a perfect excuse to get one of the colored controllers. Since couch co-op is non-existent nowadays I when I get my pink controller my OG controller is just gonna sit around and collect dust.

    As of right now, ALL controllers can have drift issues. There is a new kind of analog stick that may stop that in the future, but right now, the nature of analog sticks mean they all can drift.

    Nice. I bought the black too. So much nicer than the white.

    Was thinking of looking into seeing if that logo could get filled and getting the rest covered too...was thinking matte black, matte gray or carbon fiber.

    What ebay auction/dealer did you use if I may ask?

    Got a bundle yesterday from Gamestop. And later even was able to exchange the Call of Duty game for Miles Morales Ultimate Edition with no upcharge. That probably wasn't technically allowed, but I'm not complaining. I skipped both systems last gen, so I'm excited to play some catch-up. Won't be able to hook it up for a couple weeks though.

    i did similar when i got my bundle back in June, I swapped my extra white dual sense for the cosmic red that had just came out. i had my monthly $5 off so i didn't pay a dime. the good thing about the bundles this go around is they separate all the "extra" items on your receipt so you can do things like this.
