I just ordered one now from shopto for 330 uk pounds.

 

[uncleniccius]

Ey BY2K, do you have anything positive to say about PSVR in a PSVR-related thread,
or are we going to see these kind of posts now in all PSVR threads?

Eh, it is a important point to be fair. Scalpers always warp this kind of stuff.

 

[Brigandier]

Was approx 10:55 when it went live to pre order got mine in at :57.... Those few minutes count should of been 11 like stated.

 

[NinjaMouse]

Mayyybe a dumb question, but I'll take the risk anyways...but are there any region-specific region-locking implications on these?

[deoee]

you could only buy one per address, how do scalpers get around that stuff? (genuine question)

Family members, slight changes in your name etc.

 

[luffeN]

12:02

12:00

But it seems Saturn got some left and I think they also charge you after shipping.

~12 but as I chose my adress it was sold out.
So you had a ~30 second window to buy and finalize.

Noooo! I arrived at 11:58 in my office

 

[Angel_DvA]

Sold out in France in all big retailers... damn.

 

[Dragokiller]

Does Saturn deliver to countries outside germany?

Nope, sorry.

 

[Vol5]

It's back in stock on Amazon UK

 

[Hasney]

Multiple accounts and scripts. They do the same with Ticketmaster and all that bullshit.

 

[VAD]

Micromania (France) stil has stock (or is at least accepting orders before cancelling them)

[Carn82]

[T-0800]

EB Games in Australia are sold out too.

I just ordered one now from shopto for 330 uk pounds.

I'm seeing full price on my side

 

[bitbydeath]

 

[travisbickle]

All these casual early adopters are going to be sad when they realize they need a camera

 

[Hasney]

I'm seeing full price on my side

They have discount tiers for regular customers.

 

[Haines]

Scalper's.

 

[DiGiKerot]

Managed to get a preorder in at Amazon, but presently about 75% sure I'll cancel it before it releases. No intention of scalping it or anything like that, just don't want to be caught short if something comes to light between now and October that makes me want to keep ahold of the thing.

 

[Visualante2]

This thing launches in October? They should be able to make enough at this stage. I am guessing other retailers have got the majority of the allocation.

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Hmmmm. Shu must be pleased^^ Glad to see the interest in the tech was not just on the high end PC side. I am very interested in seeing how this develops^^

 

[Savantcore]

They have discount tiers for regular customers.

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Turkoop]

media markt.de also http://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_sony-playstation-vr-2117090.html

 

[dyergram]

Got my confirmation email at 11:01 super hyped now Sony nailed the price!

 

[zackmorris]

This thing launches in October? They should be able to make enough at this stage. I am guessing other retailers have got the majority of the allocation.

It could have been pretty small, maybe even 1000 or so units for the first wave of preorders. I'm sure they will be available again for preorder multiple times before launch.

 

[T.O.P]

Got one on Amazon IT

I'm not even interested in it but since Amazon doesn't charge until the thing ships i'll stick with it, might make some $

If not, i'll keep it for a friend anyway

 

[Stike]

Mayyybe a dumb question, but I'll take the risk anyways...but are there any region-specific region-locking implications on these?

Just the power cord....

 

[Demoskinos]

US preorders go live yet? I waaaaaant one!

 

[Tfault]

Available again Amazon UK

 

[Mung]

PSVR is a beast

 

[Hasney]

Not sure what's going on with Amazon Uk now tbh. Was up with oct 1st date, then down, then back up for "pre order" with no date, then the date came back and now it's got no date again and the search results page says "unavailable".

 

[Friggz]

im holding off on driving into work becuase im expecting them to drop the on US amazon site during my commute.

any time table for US preorder?

 

[BY2K]

I just think it's too soon. It's pricey for a peripheral and the content, to me, is not interesting aside from a very few games.

Like, 5 years too early.

I just managed to order one from Amazon UK, like.. literally 1 minute ago.

That's what I mean, you can order freely again now, but the October date has been removed from the product page when it was there originally.

*sweating intensifies*

[Poobik THE Hare]

Isn't this meaningless without the context of how many....

I.e. 100 in 10mins=wowzers v 10 in 10mins... Mmmmm.

 

[Zerojul]

Wow put my preorder with Amazon.fr at 12h01 just before launch and now back from lunch I read it sold out in 5 minutes ? O_O
Glad I didn't hesitate then.

 

[Charles Brandon]

yeah I just got one at amazon UK. Got one at GAME and Shopto as well.

 

[Vena]

He's not wrong, this is a market fragment and... the item is available elsewhere. Who cares if it sold out at a specific retailer, with an unknown amount of units sold.

 

[DiracSea]

Yeah, completely worthless as of now. Reminds me of Vive's announcement "We sold 15k units in the first hour!" <- We never heard anything about its sales since then. Guess it didn't go quite linear

 

[Wiggy]

Family members, slight changes in your name etc.

Send them to family member, really? That's disappointingly simple haha. I guess you couldn't buy too many like this though (unless you had a huge willing family).

 

[boredandlazy]

ebgames australia too

https://ebgames.com.au/featured/playstation-vr

So fucking stoked I did my order first thing this morning.

 

[Raylan]

Sales-GAF cares. As we always do. It's nice to know these little details, you know?

I just think it's too soon. It's pricey for a peripheral and the content, to me, is not interesting aside from a very few games.

Like, 5 years too early.

I guess you already made that clear with:

And now that I think about it. This is a Sony peripheral. Support for this is gonna die faster than you can say Virtual Insanity.

I'm out.

They're asking the price of the system and you can't do shit with it.
NOBODY WINS.

That's not accurate. Tried to order another one to my brothers address and it wouldn't go through. They would need totally new accounts on top of that.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Managed to order on Amazon UK there

 

[Rudiano]

Its still available on Amazon UK...its silly how Amazon has even allowed reviews for this already lol

 

[*Splinter]

Would this really attract scalpers? I can't imagine it being THAT hard to get hold of. Especially selling out so early - surely there's time to increase the supply in response in time for October

 

[AncientDiety]

The Canadian Dollar is killing me man.
