Last night, the internet went wild when the PlayStation 5 became available for preorder — a whole day earlier than expected. Sony originally said that preorders for the PS5 would start on Thursday, but retailers like Best Buy made preordering available Wednesday evening, and the console sold out in no time.
The PS5, which officially launches in November, has been highly anticipated by gamers everywhere for quite some time now, so you can imagine that this plot twist took many people by COMPLETE SURPRISE.
So @PlayStation was like “oh we’ll give everyone plenty of heads up about preorders for PS5”
Today: “here’s the price and release date, preorders start tomorrow!”
Preorders sold out everywhere already before 10pm.
Of course, there were those who were lucky enough to snag one.
Just staring at my confirmed #PS5 pre-order email like a baby’s sonogram this morning.
But many, however, weren’t as lucky.
So here are some of the best — and funniest — responses to the PS5 hype that pretty much sum up how people are feeling right now.
