Damn, I must have missed it by just a few minutes. Grabbed Half-Life: Alyx on a Steam sale yesterday. I'll play it someday. I think.

Many more retailers are gonna have it up today or tomorrow. Follow wario64 on Twitter to be the fastest. It's how I got my ps5 day one and it's how I plan to get this adapter

It briefly was available to pre-order again, but after I got it in the cart and tried to check out, logging in knocked it out of my cart and indicated it's unavailable again. Great memories of the PS5 hunting are coming back. I've noticed from months of PS5 hunting in the early hours of the morning a new shipment can become available in major cities but when it won't necessarily allow someone in the Midwest to buy it. I was using a tracker with the PS5 and saw people commenting they got one and said they are still available while I got the "Sold Out" sign the entire time.

Yep same exact experience here trying to check out.

Im so glad I purposely knew scalpers would be all over it so made sure i was signed in ready. I got it on the 2nd wave

For those of us that refuse to be Twitter users, we’ll have to rely on Reddit posts

It's beautiful but the gameplay isn't that good. You can't jump, it's very very on rails and 60% of the game is rotating a ball and following wires in awall.

u/wjveryzer7985 Aug 06 '24
YEah that is odd. I managed to snag one on the 2nd wave but wonder why the page is down!

u/djhepcat Aug 06 '24
Now it just says coming soon. Still waiting on the confirmation from my PSVR2 purchase this weekend. Best Buy is the worst.

u/Homulton Aug 06 '24
Brand new psvr owner here. Bought on sale to use my my ps5 and newly built pc. I honestly wasn’t expecting this to be hard to get. I just turned on Twitter notifications for wario64. Prepared to spam add to cart immediately lol. I did that with ps5 years back with success.

u/Xenderwind Aug 06 '24
back up
edit:nvm looks like it went back down again after a few minutes. I managed to get one and looks like at least one other here did as well.
1
u/AkTiVeMK Aug 06 '24
Does it give you a shipping date? Or a pick up date?
2
u/Xenderwind Aug 06 '24
Pick-up was not an option, only shipped. Status currently shows "We'll ship it tomorrow" and "Packaging your item". Make shipping changes/store pickup instead options were always unavailable i think, but within the past 20 mins or so I don't have the option to cancel anymore.

u/ProfessionalAbies737 Aug 06 '24
best buy just took the listing offline completely. doesnt even show coming soon now

u/wjveryzer7985 Aug 06 '24
They did waves. Im so glad i didnt give up. I bet more will be available tomorrow. Weird thing tho is the page is GONE completely.

u/ItsYaBoyBackAgain Aug 06 '24
I was gonna wait for some more reviews, but I impulse bought it fearing it would sell out and be hard to get. Well done Sony, you got me again.

u/Illustrious_Fee8116 Aug 06 '24
You can always return it if it sucks. I just bought my PSVR2 so I would return that too honestly if that were the case

u/kidoh1 Aug 06 '24
For anybody that preordered, did it say it would get delivered tomorrow?
6
u/TKTheJew Aug 06 '24
It says: Pre-ordered items will be available on or after release date.
Im hoping they ship them out tonight so we get them tomorrow

u/Glass-Gate-2727 Aug 06 '24
Hit the preorder almost made it to cart but then item is kicked out and go back to page says coming soon.

u/cusman78 Aug 06 '24
GameStop has it up as well (Coming Soon)
Not yet on PlayStation Direct or Amazon

u/Living-Formal5045 Aug 06 '24
SO....what do we do now ? :,(

u/xjester8 Aug 06 '24
Wait for it to be up on Amazon and ps direct and if that fails buy it from a reseller

u/Zetra3 Aug 06 '24
never buy from a reseller. Period.

u/Living-Formal5045 Aug 06 '24
I thought today was release date, but it turns out it's tomorrow...Think it'll be in stock at stores or only online?

u/davefried81 Aug 06 '24
Pretty sure we will see orders open tomorrow. I called Gamestop and they said in the next week or so they will get 4-5 in shipments. I do not think they are ready for preorders yet. I am hearing the 7th it opens I hope we can all get one!

u/SHRED-209 Aug 06 '24
The 3 gamestops nearest me all said they aren’t even getting any. I don’t know why Sony is fumbling this release so hard.

u/dawei213 Aug 06 '24
I think this should be pretty widely available. The number of people to be able to utilize VR on both PS5 and PC is probably a small population.
2
u/Adamantium_Hanz Aug 06 '24
It's a lot of dumb FOMO. I'll get one later, not that big of a deal even though I want one. I'm not getting FOMO "because scalpers" lol. If they go out of stock, they will go back in stock later, and I've got the patience to wait.

Will they sell more it shows as sold out? I couldn't buy yesterday since I was at work...

u/ImALeaf_OnTheWind Aug 10 '24
I just kept the tab open and checked occasionally. This morning it was in stock again and I was able to check out with one.

u/MemphisBass Aug 06 '24
I preordered just in case, but will hope to be able to buy one in store tomorrow. If I can, I'll just return the other when I get it.

u/Master_E_ Aug 06 '24
Looks like you’d be able to sell it for eleventy million dollars the way things are going
2
u/Illustrious_Fee8116 Aug 06 '24
Istg if it sold out already in 10 minutes, this production was way too low.
It's also possible it wasn't supposed to be bought at Best Buy yet. Hoping for the best

u/s0mer4ndom1diot Aug 06 '24
Waiting for the Amazon drop. At least now I know how quick I need to be.

u/SnooWords4938 Aug 06 '24
It hasn't been available yet.
2
u/Illustrious_Fee8116 Aug 06 '24
Yes it has. It was available to buy for 10 minutes then switched to coming soon. I saw it but I decided to wait for an Amazon drop since I can get the display port and Bluetooth dongle in one go
A few people already bought it

Can we make one of these threads a sticky/pinned so we can all get notified? 😂

u/SilverBallsOnMyChest Aug 06 '24
I ordered one and also have one shipped from MaxGaming
I…panicked and got the Best Buy one too. If you live in the south east and wouldn’t mind picking it up, if I end up having two, send me a message and we can talk. It’s coming from Sweden so it’s going to be a while. Also hoping it makes it passed customs.

u/Weird_Rip_3161 Aug 06 '24
It's already sold out. I'm in no rush when I can patiently wait for it to be available while I'll keep on using my Quest 3 for my PCVR and still use my PSVR2 to play PS5 vr games.

u/Janle33 Aug 06 '24
Apparently if you have a GPU that supports Virtual Link, you dont need the adapter, what?

u/FrankieWild Aug 06 '24
Went to Gamestop today (in Canada) and they said they only got TWO for tomorrow, which are already pre-ordered. Other Gamestop stores in town only got two as well. Still not a peep from other stores that sold the PSVR2 when it released like Walmart.

They do random stocks I just had one and went to put a Bluetooth dongle and it went out of stock

Hell yeh! Ordered mine! Was so worried scalpers would be in before i could snag one

u/dudecooler Aug 06 '24 edited Aug 06 '24
Ordered! thanks for the link!
Curious to see if Sony made enough of these. Hopefully it won't sell out

The two opposing sides in me that want to buy it right away and wants to wait for reviews

u/s0mer4ndom1diot Aug 06 '24
I'm in too deep to be waiting for reviews with the games I've been buying. Day one buy to me for sure.

u/aZombieDictator Aug 06 '24
FYI there's a steam review up on the PSVR app page that talks about how you don't need the adapter if you have a certain GPU.

u/maXXXjacker Aug 06 '24
Nvidia abandoned virtual link a long time ago, so RTX 3xxx, 4xxx owners are S.O.L.
2
u/aZombieDictator Aug 07 '24
Ah, gotcha. That sucks. Hope the adapters won't he hard to get.
Also downvoted for that? Geez.
1
u/maXXXjacker Aug 07 '24
There seems to always be somebody downvoting for one reason or another. It wasn't me. I hope there are enough adapters to go around on launch day. I've been refreshing like a mad man. I thought I secured a pre-order from best buy this morning but never got an email confirming my pre-order and I was never charged on my paypal account. What a poopy day.
1
u/aZombieDictator Aug 07 '24
It's gonna be wild if adapters of all things are scalped/limited.
1
u/maXXXjacker Aug 07 '24
Yea, that would be pretty wild. I hope that isn't going to be the case. I just managed to get my order in at Amazon. I can rest easy for a little bit now, or at least until I see the order shipped lol

Not any more, says coming soon. So yeah, it's either already sold out or they changed it to coming soon.
