This has not been my experience. Or anyone else's that I know of.

Genius move by Sony to have a full power console without an optical disk reader at such a low price point.

Really you didn't know anyone that got the dead PS4's from Amazon that just flashed a blue light? Or the xbox ones that launched that had dead disc drives?
[Reply]

Not personally, no. I bought a day 1 PS4 from Amazon and it’s still going strong. I’m playing through RDR2 right now. I’m not saying they didn’t exist, it’s just not my experience or any of my friends.

Or the Xbox 360 red ring of death. Supposedly that cost Microsoft 1 billion dollars.

Yeah, that's the only one I remember. You could wrap it in a towel to overheat it and reset it IIRC.

If ya'll see more available pre-orders, let a dude know.

I'll probably get the version that plays 4K dvds.

Stupid to buy a top-tier 4K television with HDR, etc......and not have the ability to watch a 4K movie with the best possible picture.

Streaming, as it stands now (even when ultra-HD and solid connection) isnt the same thing/level.

This guy is a must follow. Been on top of every single pre-order opening. Got an amazon link before it was even live.

I'm just too slow for this stuff I guess. Yesterday I was busy. Had no idea when places started selling them. Then I went to bed around 11:30 and woke up about 6:30. The places that went live between those times sold out of course, and by the time I got online this morning to check things out, Amazon had already come and gone. People just live on the frickin internet or what? I can almost guarantee I'll miss any restocks too lol. It'll take a real stroke of luck.

People had alarms set for this shit like xmas day.

I signed up for notification on Playstation a couple months ago and got nothin.
[Reply]

Playstation jobbed people, the stores went live before PS told anyone.

I got an email late last night from Playstation - I'm supposed to follow a link they provided tomorrow morning, login with network ID, and get placed in a waiting room - and hope that I get picked to be able to preorder.

For anyone who's ever tried to get comic-con tickets......probably similar process.
