Daily Reaction: PlayStation 5 Preorders Were an Undeserved Disaster – How the PS5 Sold Out Before it Even Officially Went on Sale



The last 24 hours or so have been an emotional roller coaster for PlayStation fans. First the PS5 showcase gave us hit after hit of great games and trailers, with arguably the two weakest links only being Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and Fortnite, but even those were exciting to a certain extent. I mean, like Fortnite or not, you gotta admit it looks good on PS5.  Finally, the 45-minute stream ended with what we?d all been waiting for: that PS5 price and release date. Excitement was quickly tempered when Sony made no mention of preoders. ?Wait,? everyone collectively thought. ?How do I actually get my hands on one of these"? It was a curious omission, given Sony?s previous promises that preorders would be communicated well in advanced. Through a series of channels?mainly Geoff Keighley?s Twitter, a line buried in a post on the PlayStation Blog, and a reply in a thread about the PS5 on PlayStation?s Twitter?it was discovered that PS5 preorders would go live today ?at select retailers.? No additional details were given, still leaving a lot of confusion for players nervous they wouldn?t get a launch day console. Waht time would they go live" Midnight" In the morning" What retailers" What about those PS5 preorder signup emails (which I?ll come back to)"
