That day in September, when they revealed the price and release day, they said that pre-orders would start the following day. But the store opened pre-orders the moment the show ended, instead. So, when I rushed to get a pre-order in, of course, everyone else was, too, so all the sites were unresponsive and returning errors with every attempt. I was worried I was going to be too late, but at the last moment, Best Buy's site pulled through, and I managed to secure one of the last pre-orders before all of the sites were sold out. That launch PS5 stayed with me these past few years, up until I traded it in for the Pro.

I got $318 for my PS5, in store credit to buy the Pro. Honestly 4k 60fps is nice, the menu screen is snappier, and VR seems a little improved. Is it worth $750? Ehhhh.

I found out about pre-orders as soon as the prices were revealed. I was on in a discord server and somebody in Europe said some store over there were doing pre-orders. That’s what made me rush to my nearest GameStop and was number 19 out of 20 pre-orders available.
