EBGames collapsed under the pre-order strain this 8am so I failed to get one in with them (unlike with PS5 last week). So I went with Microsoft store with a pre-order process that was painless. It's a 'Delivery' though, not my preferred 'Pick up'. But at least we'll have a unit this coming Nov 10 launch. A few minutes later, Microsoft store run out of stock. And then EBGames tweeted that their launch date stock allocation also run out. Wow! So we'll have Xbox Series X on Nov 10 and then PS5 on Nov 12. That will be an interesting week!

Our PS4 Pro is a bit noisy now, probably due to its aging mechanical hard-drive.  Anyway, I managed to pre-order yesterday “ PlayStation 5 Console ” with EBGames (at $200 deposit) and did it just in time for Nov 12 launch delivery date. Whew! Allocation is sold out worldwide and next pre-orders will have 2021 delivery. Ouch! Our PS4  to PS5 order history at EBGames: This 2016 unit somehow died and was promptly replaced under warranty: Yesterday: Perhaps a week before Nov 12 launch date, I'll pop by EBGames to trade-in all our PS4 gear in exchange for credit which of course will go to PS5 payment completion.
