Update: Amazon hasn't been having the best of luck with this limited edition console. After a technical issue the first day, yesterday's second batch went live earlier than it should've, meaning most people anticipating the 10am start were left empty handed. However, this morning, Amazon is allowing more pre-orders, again from 10am BST. If you're still looking to get the 500 Million PS4 Pro console, this third opportunity could be the charm.
Scalpers are already cashing in on their pre-orders of the PS4 Pro 500 Million system, which sold out almost immediately at various UK retailers. We're not sure whether Amazon sold out of its first allocation or not, but it seems that a technical problem caused the console's listing on the site to be taken down either way.
If you did miss out yesterday, you have one more chance today as Amazon UK will be releasing its pre-orders at 10am UK time today. If you're dying to get hold of one of these limited edition PS4 Pro consoles, this is probably your best bet. Click the link below and hammer F5 from 9.59am onwards.

It's worth noting that those in the US will have to wait a little longer to put their orders in for this snazzy PS4 Pro -- Sony has said that pre-orders kick off on 24th August across the pond.

PS4 Pro: Scalper edition
Gonna get one, put P.T on it and sell it for a million quid.
Is that actually all done already or are they late?
@KALofKRYPTON I managed to get one so they must be done.
@Worlock_ed £1500 is the highest scalp I've seen so far on ebay...
Crikey, I think it's over already!
@KALofKRYPTON That's absolutely insane.
@Worlock_ed Someone will pay it, sadly.
There are already dozens of bids on the lower starting auctions.
i would love just to upset the scalpers for sony to announce next week because of how popular its been they are making more and will be renamed the not so limited edition!
@suikoden I've no real problem with scalping as such. Lord knows I've sold on a few bits & bobs at silly profits over the years; but when something like this comes along, I really do think they should devise some other method of distribution.
@KALofKRYPTON Probably a first refusal offer for PSN+ subscribers would have been decent of them.
@LaNooch1978 Yeah it’s what Nintendo did with the New 3DS a few years back (Ambassador Edition). I got an email from them asking if I wanted it. Didn’t take them up on it.
@suikoden Some of them will have already made money.
I don't get it, someone out there has the one and only 500,000,000th PS4. Isn't that the one people should be clamouring to buy and not one of these job lots?
Updated the article - Amazon is kicking off a new round of pre-orders from 10am BST this morning.
It looks a bit crap. The PSOne edition was much nicer.
I'd love one of these as a collector but Sony have kind of done me a favour by releasing so many different "special editions" by now that it's hugely unrealistic to actually be able to get all of them.
Think I'd rather stump up for one of the 20th Anniversary ones than this if it came down to it.
Nothing? Where did this update info come from? It wasn't there.
... sure is nice for me to get hold of one ...
Getting one for me and my friend.
