    Should not limit the pro 30th. Agree it would be better to make the 30th pro being the regular pro. Dont own a ps5 and looked forward to a ps5 pro, and seeing they made the 30th pro, i cancelled my ps5 pro preorder and citing in the cancellation reason i wanted the 5 pro 30th

      @@Nintendad64No unfortunately not, that is why i cancelled my ps5 pro preorder and citing in the cancellation reason that I wanted a pro 30th to get my retailer to send sony a message. In my country in europe we dont have ps direct, but it was sold in retail store, and noticed it too late one hour after it was released for preorder, and I had no idea where to buy it. Now you have to be in a lottery in some other electronic store to win the oportunity to buy one. 😢
      Slim 30th and ps5 pro can be bought in every big grocery store now. Just not the pro 30th.

      I will cross my fingers and toes in hopes of you getting picked in that lottery so you can get one. I always hope that the folks who really want something get it before the scalpers, good luck!

      @@Nintendad64Unfortunately didnt win it, then retail store doing the lottery only had 4 units of pro 30th and there were more than 8000+ people signed up for the opportunity to buy it. This is just a tiny country in europe with less than 6 million. people. Imagine the rest of the world. Like imagine we have 200 countries in the world and with only 12300 units, each country get around 60 pro 30th. Thats insane, imagine how much money sony could had made, but instead they pssr off their potential customers. I dont own a ps5 and i certainly wont buy a ps5 pro now when i know that pro 30th exist. Not gonna reward sony for their fomo promo. I am gonna give them one more chance to do this right and release the pro 30th readily avaible for everyone. Until then no ps5 this generation, and having owned ps1-ps4 pro.psp. vita and ps tv, i am starving for ps5 pro, but sony trample on their fans dignity, and its gonna cost them alot in terms of damage to their brand and dissapointed fans leaving the brand. (un)happy 30th anniversary🎉😞. Sony says lets celebrate 30th anniversaey whole slapping their fans in the face and slam the door in front of them.

    I'm glad I was out on these before they even went on sale. I knew there would be an upcharge on everything. You are right about scalpers though. I've missed out on some preorders in the past and thought about paying way more on the secondary market but I ended up passing. A hunk of plastic is really only worth so much.

    I got just the PS5 Pro and I was really reluctant to do it but wanted to be an early adopter… plus it’s nice to take advantage of a nice OLED tv! I hope it’s worth it!

      Definitely hope it is. At the very least it will look on your new TV. Last gen I picked up a Sony Bravia as soon as I pre-ordered my PS4

    I wanted the controller but missed out. For a split second I thought about checking ebay but decided against it. Maybe we'll get lucky and Sony will release a second wave.

      If Sony were smart they would do a second run. They might as well make the money and not scalpers.

    I got a regular Pro, went back and saw the 30th Anni. Dual Sense Edge but didn't get the approval from the wife 😕 The look I got was menacing...

    • @Nintendad64
      @Nintendad64  4 месяца назад

      Ha! I know that feeling all to well. I was very tempted to get the dual sense, but since I couldn't justify the $80 price tag to myself I wasn't even going to try and justify it to my wife.

    Someone at sony probably seen these uploaded videos circling you tube and probably going suggest no more limited run … money that would of made sony millions

      One would think, especially in this day in age where scalper bots are one step ahead of all the online shops out there. Sure Sony sells out but but there is so much more money they could make by not limiting these so much.
