    This may be a little long but there’s several things Sony could have done here:
    -First off they once again changed the parameters of the Queue. They actually paused the queue an hour before which means they had a pre queue queue. Why advertise a 10am est sale time when the queue paused at 9am? Thats just stupid.
    - Sony could easily have sent out invites to PlayStation loyalist. People who have supported them from day 1 or who have made multiple purchases over the years. You send these people direct links to buy everyone else gets a regular pro.
    - now the easier thing to do would have been make 12,300 numbered limited edition bundles and the rest could have been unnumbered but the same bundles but randomly sent to buyers. Many people just said forget pro at all after they didn’t get a 30th anniversary pro.
    I’m no guy working at a big marketing firm but even I know 12,300 worldwide of something is plain stupid on Sony’s part and to not have learned your lesson previously from other limited edition launches makes zero sense. I have zero confidence Sony will learn from this when they launch limited products in the future.

    Imo the best thing that Sony could have done is allow people a one time chance to preorder one 30th anniversary edition pro system on a verified date between a set period of time. All orders would then be processed and fulfilled. I’m sure it would be over 12,300 systems, but it would give everyone an opportunity. Have it over a 24/48 hour period that you can place a single order. Scalpers would still scalp I’m sure, but it would have been better as a whole.

I got in and then when the queue reset it took me back to the queue but I never had a wait time. It immediately said it was my turn.

    I also attempted and prepared very well hours earlier on the 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro bundle and didn’t have a chance. I was able to cart and purchase one of each other 30th anniversary item but let’s be honest, we all wanted the pro version. And Sony knew what they was doing. That $699 price for the regular PS5 Pro had people deterred and had no stand nor disc drive. But releasing a very limited number of 30th anniversary Pro bundles which technically was a lotto grab, made people settle for the regular Pro. If they released over 50,000 or millions of them noone would buy the regular pro version. Sony wins in the end as well as the scalpers. The actual PS1 OG fans lost here.

    I agree they need to go back to physical retailer releases for these special editions especially. Get there early camp out and stand in line like the good old days. The retailer gives people a number matching the number of preorders allotted as they join the line so that way people can't call friends and family to come cut in line, no number from the line, no preorder. That's the only way to beat scalpers at this point. I was able to get the 30th controller and the 30th Portal. As far as the PS5 Pro goes, I'll just get some classic grey skins or plates and the rainbow logo skin is easy to find and that's good enough for me.

    The main problem is that they kick you in 10 mins that's all you have to buy something when that queue-it system is active. The problem is they started that functionality even for early sign-ins, and it's somewhat non-intuitive because people think they're early and will be closer to the front of the virtual line just like physically waiting outside a store. Maybe there's a reason they set it up like that, but the result is that it was dumb random luck where you happened to be when they paused and resumed relative to when one had last kicked out and had to wait all over. EG I had to start over and did on 1 laptop about 2 hours before it went live, I got to about 3/4 the way progress then the line paused. When it resumed I still had around 15 mins to wait, by the time I got in again was about 10 mins after it went live and the 30th pro was already gone. I did get the 30th edge controller at least, and might go for the 30th regular dualsense but otherwise won't try for the 30th normal slim. Just get some aftermarket gray plates skin or stickers etc

    I got in right from the start but the ps5 pro 30th edition was not listed even though everything else was. I bought the portal and a controller. When I got back in after the purchase the ps5 pro 30th edition showed up but showed currently unavailable. I can say that it was never for sale here in my area of Texas. They could easily sell these to loyal gamers. Steam did when they sold the Steam deck limited editions by requiring an account with purchases made in the last 30 days. I had no problem buying it. I think far less of Sony after this. Like most I only wanted the pro 30th anniversary version and had the money ready. After what they did I skipped on buying the pro all together and will be returning the disk drive I had bought for it. I may just go with pc, I dont like supporting companies that do this type of thing.

    IMO instead of limited consoles, it should be limited time to order it online. This way all people who ordered in 24 hours can get it. Obviously, delivery date could be well over 6 months to a year but everyone will be paying retail price and get it eventually. Once they have the final count they can produce them.

Concord bailed out, the PSN-Steam account linking issue, live-service failures, State Of Mid, and this absolutely ridiculous $700 price tag on PS5 Pro. Haven’t Sony learned anything from their meme-friendly E3 2006 presentation when they announce the PS3 for $599, which the PS5 Pro Price Hike at $700 is in fact $100 less than the PS3’s launch. But I’m sorry. $700 is way too expensive. A big shady embarrassment by Sony.

They'll never maje more of em.. Maybe a faceplate 🤔 but won't have all that # of the line & that. Having any ps5 pro at all is a fete in itself. Hope you got sorted with what you wanted. 😀

    Its SONY Selling The ANNIVERSARY PS5 Console For $5K, it's the PERFECT Money Grab..!! The PS5 Pro should've been the Anniversary Edition, it doesn't make sense to have multiple PS5's coming out around the same time.

    I won't mind if Sony came out soon and say since the bundle was a hit we decided to make the bundle a part of the lineup and alternate color. Even I the console doesn't have the production numbers on it. I went as well an hour before was able to go into website 30 min after it started. And bundle already sold out. But was able to get a portal anniversary and a dualsense. At this point I'll wait till November to maybe consider a PS5 pro and maybe we get more color options.

    While ai agree scalpers are scumbags in general. Your idea of a physical release unfortunately would not solve the issue as family members would just go to the shop similar to online. I do agree it would be fun.
    I don't ghink there is an easy way to fix this. I wonder if Sony were to look at the length of time you have had a Sony account and were to send out an email/message to your PS5 asking if you are interested in the new model you maybe say yes and your given a code.
    All the yes codes are entered into a lottery type system and if you get one great if not at least it might have been fairer.

    I'm going to say this the PS5 Pro is not worth it and the PlayStation fanboys will completely disagree with me on this, but you're getting ripped off by Sony and to make matters even worse you're going to get even more ripped off by the scalpers because if you compare the PS5 to the previous consoles you will realize wow the price is much better back then such as the PS1 was a good start from Sony and if I remember the price of it was 299 in the UK, in America I think it was 349 and had good exclusives, the PS2 same price range as the PS1 with equal or better exclusives, the PS3 had a rough start and if I remember they reduced the price and had some really good exclusives as well, the PS4 not a bad console and it had good exclusives while cost 349.99 in the UK, in America just free 399.99 but the downside with a PS4 is you have to pay for membership (for discounts that you can get for free on PC, two or three games for free where you can get tons on PC and pay a fee to play games online which is free on PC ), the PS5 price range is overpriced, hardly any exclusives, the membership-based model is completely overpriced to the point that I do blame Xbox for this online membership for consoles now releasing a pro version that's overpriced.
    Basically I'm saying people who is defending the ninth gen consoles really need to look in the mirror and think to themselves are these consoles even worth getting, plus I'll say this to people these days just have a look at gaming PC, gaming laptop, steam deck or other handheld like the steam deck, because I'm only saying this that these corporations are not your friends and PC gaming is not as expensive as many say.
