” **Invitation requested, thanks!** ” since last August, no invitation despite applying for different bundles / consoles, is it normal? Am I doing something wrong and should I double check some settings?
Yeah, I did. Registered at the end of Nov. and received an email early December. I guess I got lucky.
I’ve been enrolled in it as soon as it started and am in the same boat as you. I did it for both versions and haven’t gotten an invitation and don’t really expect to anymore.
Funnily enough, I got an invitation email from PlayStation with a code to buy from them directly several months ago to my old US account but would only ship to a US address. So, I wasn’t able to get it. I’ve read it’s much easier to get there and is given a higher priority than Japan.
I registered not long after they started the raffle, and no invitation yet. I registered for every model and bundle they have… no luck.
The sad part is I visited the US and walked into a GameStop and had the god of war PS5 bundle in stock. Was able to pick one up. I’ve been enrolled in the Amazon one since the beginning of 2022.
Yeah I got 2 invites last week for the Gran Turismo and Horizon ones. Seems most people who signed up for those ones got an invite in the last few weeks going by twitter. Did you sign up for them all? I also have a feeling they don’t give them out to accounts with no long term purchase history to get around those bots and scalpers now.
Signed up for all versions since September or so. No luck yet.
I’ve seen gow bundles in stocks at nojima a couple of times recently, maybe you can have better luck in store?
You just have to wait eventually you’ll get chosen. I was enrolled for a year and got it finally last month.
I got mine a couple of days ago. Registered in Jan 2022 lol. Actually might have done it a few months ago in august since i got the invite for the GT7 bundle and not the vanilla console.
No chance here and never won any other lotteries either. I gave up and bought the cheapest steam deck and installed a 1TB ssd in 10 min
Don Quijote had some PS5 fukubukuro, might be worth checking if there are any around in your area. I saw a few yesterday.
I recommend following @PS5sokuhouInfo on Twitter, they post the exact schedule that Amazon sends out new batches of invitation emails. Incidentally, I successfully ordered mine a few days ago on a Bic Camera online store restock (no wacky credit card signup required). Another good promotion is happening this week with Sony Stores, if you have one in your area you can sign up for lotteries every day this week starting today. Good luck!
I was enrolled for about 10 months and just got mine a couple weeks ago. Keep an eye out on your spam as I almost missed my window to purchase.
They shipped 2000 units thus far last I heard. That’s an incredibly small number. You have better luck going around finding one in person. I have seen a couple at yamada denki hanging around. Go to the stores that are kinda out of the main station areas and just look in the cases. I have found only bundles but they exist.
I registered 3 times and received 3 invitations.
Already have a PS5 but I’ve registered for an xbox for a while now.
Same with the fancy PS5 controller.
I registered in June 2022, i suddenly got like 3 invitations for all the models available. Unfortunately, i was extremely busy with work and life that somehow i didn’t check my emails and missed the invitation window by half an hour. Talk to me about luck.
At least i got xbox series s so not really missing much. (Or that’s what i try to convince myself with lol)
