Remember the magical phrase “plenty of time to pre-order” in the context of PS5 presales? Ha, good times. It feels like a distant memory.
As you probably know by now, the PS5 pre-order situation was a mess. Sony explained that folks would have lots of time to grab a pre-order the day after their big PS5 stream, but mere hours later retailers opened the floodgates and sold out in minutes. Many prospective buyers were completely asleep when they went up in the dead of night. What is this, a Target exclusive amiibo?!
Thankfully, Microsoft had the chance to take the high road and give us plenty of advance warning on their pre-order system. “November 22 at 11AM ET” was the target, and in theory, should go smoother than Sony’s non-plan.
In theory.
