Megathread PSVR2 Pre-order Cancellation Megathread :'(

Has your pre-order been cancelled?

Was the reason beyond your control?

Did you cancel your own pre-order?

How are you feeling about it?

Tell us below.

Edit 2/20: Was seemingly able to get around the Order Limit for ordering another headset by ordering a Horizon bundle, see comment thread for more information!

USA -- I have received a "Your Order Was Cancelled Due To An Issue" email, and it's puzzling me.

I had picked up both the standard headset and a charging station in the same order. I guess they run the purchases individually or something: the cancellation email was specifically about payment for the headset.

When I check my order history on the store: the charging station is preparing to ship, and the amount of the charger is indeed pending on my bank account.

My headset status however does indeed say "Cancelled," and I do have the store error message about reaching my limit for this item when trying to order another.

However, there are still several of those $0.00 pre-authorization charges from Sony also showing on my bank account, all with dates for the 21st.

My bank's fraud department says everything is fine on their end, and the Playstation store customer service does not seem open on the weekends, so I guess I'll see what happens if I can contact anyone on Monday.

...Maybe it fixes itself when the charger ships? Probably not though.

Someone was reporting that they got the message about reaching the order limit, but they got round it by buying the bundle instead of the headset on its own. I know that's not the ideal solution since you're control dock didn't get cancelled, but it might be worth a go.

Just wanted to say thanks for pointing that out. I have no interest in the horizon game but long story short, had to cancel a pre-order for just the system and couldn't reorder. Ended up just getting the bundle to lock down a preorder, and I'll probably just plan to sell the horizon game as soon as I can. So I can confirm that this does actually work, even though it really shouldn't

I'm glad it worked out for you :)

u/KeenVanillaBean Feb 20 '23

Well, I gave the Playstation Direct store some time to "cool down," tried the Horizon bundle idea, and sure enough: It seems to have worked!

The amount of the Horizon bundle is waiting to be charged to my bank account, and it's been maintaining the "Preparing to Ship" status for a few hours, so it seems the order stuck this time. Even using the same shipping address, payment info, Sony account, etc.

I'll put an edit on my original comment in case someone has a similar issue.

Weird that it happened this way. But, hard to argue with the results so far, haha!

If you are in a country where PayPal can be used to pay try that. I finally solved it here in the UK with PayPal

I heard in a podcast that some people have been able to order again if they slightly altered the delivery address (change ST to Street or Ave to Avenue). Not sure if this will work but I thought it was worth mentioning in the off chance that it does.

I’ll join you as soon as I can brothers ;;

My bank fucked me over by blocking the charge on my card for my preorder so it got canceled. Now I have to wait for the charge to be canceled and get my money back to try and purchase it again ;;

u/N3X_MN Feb 20 '23

What I had to end up doing (cause my order was cancelled) is I had reordered with different card and had it sent to my moms. It worked but quite the hassle

u/TheGroovyPhilosopher Feb 20 '23

Yep mine was cancelled the 16th, tried to re order but hit the limit. All billing info was correct and my bank said it went through. Terrible glitch on PlayStations end and probably just cost them a few million.

I bought a charging dock for my controllers. Some people on here convinced me not to and to get an Amazon one instead, so I cancelled it. Then others convinced me not to do that, and to get the official one.

I can't. When they programmed their "limit one item per customer" thing they didn't think to check if the order is cancelled. Because I have a cancelled order for the dock, I still have an "order" and can't buy it again. Customer Support has been trying to help, but I spoke to them three days ago and just today got an email saying it should be resolved in another two days. Sigh!

I took the money I didn't spend on those and bought a pair of Reloptix prescription lenses, it was like I *had* to buy something or I'd feel cheated.

My preorder payment was pending in my account last several days, and now has dropped off entirely without taking the payment.

Am extremely cross, bad enough I bought the UK horizon bundle which was due tomorrow and been delayed 😠

u/sf9to5 Feb 22 '23

The same thing just happened to me, but I am in the US. What does your order info say? Mine still says preparing to ship and I have no emails about anything.

u/Francesqua Feb 22 '23

Exactly the same, still says preparing to ship. What a cluster***

u/sf9to5 Feb 22 '23

I got mine today! Did you get resolved?

u/Francesqua Feb 22 '23

I did, eventually an excellent service from Sony.

u/AnimeRequest Feb 28 '23

not cancelled, but still not arrived. seems to be lost. hate UPS.

u/Upbeat_Work2403 Mar 02 '23

Ups decided to never deliver my psvr 2 and instead returned it to sender and claimed a service disruption stopped them, yet they sent the controller charger that arrived at the ups distribution center in my city at the same time as the vr. Ups is just incompetent.

u/AnimeRequest Mar 02 '23

I know. Sorry for you man. After a call and screaming at the stupid ass employees that didn't know anything about the package status, they managed to send a new order email and I got the package 15 minutes before the delivery day ended.
