The real deals here are the PlayStation Fortnite bundles which are $100 less than other pricing and $200 less than they'll be on the 2nd. Wanted to make the thread so anyone on the fence about purchasing had time to before the price increases next week.

This will kill the industry. No one will be able to afford these prices to game.

If you have a slim with disc, GameStop will give $376.75 trade credit and $357.50 just the slim.

If you have the disc version, I would trade it as a slim. But, you have to give them the plate from your new ps5 pro. That's if the employee lets you do this

Not worth it to trade the disk drive for $20 and then have to buy a new one at $80 if you want it to go with your pro.

You can replace the cover, there are sales, i.e. PSN Direct had them on sale a few weeks ago. And you'll need a new controller anyway.
Or get them from Aliexpress (they won't have the playstation logo on them though).

$900 for a gaming console is actual f*cking INSANITY...
Agreed. And it's not like you can choose to build a similarly spec'd PC for that price in this current climate. New or upgrading gamers are so f'd right now.

I think the disc drive in my initial release PS5 is starting to fail. Sometimes I have to try a disc a few times. I have one disc (Blood & Truth) that it won't read at all anymore even after cycling it 20 times.

That's been happening already.
What I meant was price increase again for Xbox consoles now that Sony will raise the PS5 prices. Nintendo may not do that because they are already cutting down the NS2 production because of weaker sales.

I have tried to place order for PS5 disc edition w/Fortnite ($449) on PlayStation, and GameStop numerous times since past 3 days but it's not going through.
Gamestop doesn't state it is OOS but on the last step of placing order it says it's unavailable.
PlayStation simply throws message on the last step of placing order - "Thank you for your interest in the direct.playstation.com experience. Unfortunately we are unable to process your transaction. Please visit one of our retail partners.". Their customer service through chat is unresponsive.
I thought of price match through BB, but they are selling it through third party sellers with not so great reputation.
I'm in Austin, not sure if location has anything to do with this issue.
Any other ideas in how to buy this deal?

Possibly OOS or regional? I'm in KC and it lets me get to the final checkout page but didn't try placing the order.

Well whats funny is some people wait for the price drop, this is the first time in console history that its increased over time.
Yep this is me. I was like no way in hell I'm buying a console this late with the price increases. I'll wait for everyone to dump them when the new one comes out in a year or two. I'll stick with my SSD upgraded One X and PS4 Pro for longer, no biggie. If there's a new game that I want to play and it's not playable on the One X, I'll get a month of game pass and stream it via xcloud.

I'm able to get to the final checkout page as well. Both Gamestop and Playstation decline only after clicking "Place Order".
