Zombait Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I got the Horizon bundle because £530 wasn't expensive enough 🙈 It went smooth for me too, more security checks than enough though, 2FA for sign in, a puzzle to solve and then the bank wanted a separate authentication so I'm shocked it all worked (for me). They won't fully charge the card until around launch right? 😵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You’ve got to laugh, but the hoops they made us jump through for this bloody thing. They knew how much stock they’d have, it’s pretty inexcusable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofasurfer Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Did people who managed to grab one have a 10 a.m. time, mine is 13.00 so I have a vague hope that my one will go live then. A man can hope right??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazimod Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I can get to the "add to cart" and "order and pay" links, but I'm having second thoughts now - I registered first and hoped that I would convince myself later. I'd give someone else the link to the order page but I think it's just the standard page for everyone and it looks at the PSN ID that's currently signed in. No I'm not telling you my PSN login.

Tbh I’m sick of it now. It took me a year to get a PS5, and whilst I wasn’t going out of my way every day or anything I still put in way more effort than I would normally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 What pisses me off the most, is that firstly they clearly allowed people to jump in early. Second, they must have known that versus the number of emails they sent out, they didn't have anywhere near enough stock. edit: well this post aged well 😳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how you feel, it's only a luxury that whilst I can afford is not essential for me, unless Alxy is released on it and then I will need one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to give you and @sofasurfer false hope, but perhaps Sony are staggering their stock allocations so that their systems are not overloaded all at once. If you have a time of 11am, perhaps get in the queue now and wait until you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombait Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 That's what I'm thinking, maybe only those with 10am links were allowed to buy at 10am 🤔 Sony releasing them in batches and your link identifying what time window you are e.g only 500 links for 10am went out. So I would say if your time slot wasn't 10am try again around the time your email said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Yeah might be worth hanging on until the time slot in your email, it seems going in too early triggers the out of stock message. I fucking hope so anyway or I’m going to be properly miffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but I doubt the system they are using is that intelligent, they wouldn’t know your PSN ID for one, and if there was something embedded in the link surely it would alert you to your own specific time?
