@Eighthours You want to to update the first post or even the thread title: RGB range needs to be set to Limited, not Auto. I was getting crushed blacks until I did that.

 

Won't this just be the same deal as with PS4 where the best setting is dependent on your TV (IIRC)

[Mr Ben]

Wonder if they didnt have stock for 12pm today, and its some other time. Site hasnt been updated at all. Still unavailable.

I wonder if the 12pm time was correct? Maybe an unreliable source...

[Popo]

Oof, Amazon must be taking a pounding if it's crashed...

[Oz]

we don't know when or if this item will be back in stock. maybe they'll never sell it.

[BabelRich]

It’s mostly fine now. The bots must have given up for the moment.

The frothing hordes have conquered the final boss. Yet still no PS5 stock has been uncovered. T'was all a lie.

 

I only bothered with Amazon as I figured they would have sufficient stock and a sturdy enough infrastructure to give me a fraction of a chance against the scalping bots but seemingly not. Never even saw it in stock so maybe it was never there? I guess ebay will be the winners out of this release as has become the norm for so much hyped consumer electronics these days.

 

Either way, I'm not hugely stressed as I was just being carried along on a wave of FOMO so am happy to wait as I'd be paying a lot of money just to replay a game I played before, albeit now super jazzed up.

There was no drop 

[Mr Ben]

The Independend saying they may have sold out in the brief blackout

 

Must be the Flash then as I refreshed enough times it wasnt down that long.

[Super Craig]

I've been checking the Buy Again page and it hasn't been affected. Doesn't look like there has been any stock.

[Mr Ben]

Yeah its odd. Nothing on their twitter other than this from 11 hours ago:

the tension continues...

@charley farley changed to processed now and estimated delivery 21/11.  Has yours changed too?  Maybe they're doing their best to put me off an Amazon order. 

[Luseth]

They were just on game, I click the link and it throws me back into the queue :S Can anyone confirm I wasnt seeing things?

[Mr Ben]

Pretty sure Game have sold out.

 

Although they do have PS5's up for pre-order 10/12/2020 apparently.

[KartoffelKopf]

I thought Game confirmed they had no more.

Here a picture of my dog. His name is Casper!

Its just their website. People may be trying to pre-order for December. I was thinking about it, but the site died.
