My brother just got an invite tomorrow. Went to his advertisement folder in Gmail. So keep any eye out and don't lose hope!

Sony I've given you thousands of dollars where's my fucking email

This seems like a really dumb way to sell systems. Would suck if you really want one and they just skip over you.

Got in on this last time, was pretty easy. Release date delivery if you have PS Plus, which is nice.

This shouldn't factor into some kind of special delivery benefit. Everyone should get release day delivery.

Oh shit! I just checked! I got an invite too! Too bad I pre-ordered from Amazon already.

It would be nice if there was a way for those who got invites who got a preorder somewhere else to give their invite away, but alas I suppose...

The shipping is free with ps+. Ps+ isn't what guarantees release date delivery.

Nice got the link (opens 10am PT) but I already preordered from Amazon, I think I'll order from Sony too just in case Amazon flakes

Not if you never get an invite. At least everyone has a chance at retail....and that doesn't excuse special treatment on shipping.
What you prefer? Them send an email to everyone? Which would be completely impossible to fulfill. Do it randomly like they have? Or nothing at all???

Everyone obviously hasn't had a chance at retail. It was a bloodbath for each console and nvidia...

An extra perk for going directly through Sony and having PS+, still based around a random selection seems optimal as well.

If they blatantly said only these people, whether ps+ subs or 10+ years on PSN or something else, some other group would feel super pissed regardless. The fact that they did a random selection is the best way to avoid that.

I signed up within 6 minutes after recieving the registration email. So far nothing! I'm pretty sure it went through cause it gave me the message "Thank You" at the end

I actually wonder if you might've spent too much so Sony assumes you'll find a way to get a PS5 regardless.
Not a great strategy though. I gave Sony way too much money with the ps4 gen, this time I was unable to preorder so I took the chance to mix things up a bit and got a series X instead.

I got the email. I already have a walmart preorder, so not sure if I want to keep that or switch. Dunno if Sony would be release day shipping.

Also not sure if this has been mentioned yet but don't use Chrome. People had issues last week seeing the consoles on the store.

Switching browsers helped.

I have never received a promotional email from Sony for any product which is odd. I only ever get receipts. Is there something I need to change in my settings.
