PS5 November 12th/19th $499/$399

Pre-orders opened in Iceland. 80k isk here for digital. About as expected

That seems expensive, google say that's the equivalent to 500€?

Everything is expensive here.
We get the euro price with added Icelandic import tax, VAT and the store adds some on.

I keep checking my Amazon to see if it's still there.

I can't believe I'm actually getting one on day 1. Never did that before.

don't get your hopes too high:
1. amazon could cancel your order
2. amazon could ship your console 5 weeks late due to "unexpected volume" (they did that to me once)
3. it could ship on time but the the post office can't deliver it for weeks.
4. it could arrive on time but someone could steal it at your doorstep
5. you could get your unit but your unit is broken
6. you could get a functional unit but then realize you accidently ordered an xbox series s..

Well thanks, I'll try to stay optimistic for now.

Let’s be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother. We truly apologize for that. 

Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder – retailers will share more details.  

And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year. pic.twitter.com/h1TaGsGBun

But Sony are evil!

But Sony are evil!

Hey, I saw someone on Reddit arguing that Sony deliberately did this with the pre-orders to get people more desperate to get one. As if pre-orders weren't going to sell out anyways.
