Current Events > Any of you busters plan on trying to buy a PS5 online about an hour from now?

(+) Yeah! (+)

You've got the preorders, and no walk in purchases allowd this year, but there are units available in stores that are going on sale at the crack of midnight, eastern, tonight.

I'm gonna try. Bestbuy, Walmart, Target, Gamestop. They say bots will probably snag them all up in the first minute but I've had luck in these kinds of things before. We'll see!
---

Gonna try from Target. In store pick up might be the best bet against bots.
---

no, because the PS5 does not, in fact, look great

---

10 minutes. >_>

Whos having a midnight drop?

Walmart and Target I know for sure, possibly Best Buy and Gamestop, don't know.

Yeah gonna lurk Target at midnight and try to score one or two for me and my girlfriend. I wouldn't buy it asap but I can sell my PS4 pro and recoup some of the cost so.

You mean online, right? You can't get it in store until 2021.

---

No. I like to have games to play on a console.

Yeah me too, I'm gonna be overrun with games it'll be hard to play them all. :)

Target went up and I grabbed it the second it went up then it kept rejecting the CVV, eventually saying the product was out of stock smh. I literally grabbed it before Wario64 even posted about it. BS lol
---

This has to be the most poorly developed & coordinated product launch from two billion dollar companies in quite some time.

---

Costco is up. Not for purchase yet though and it's a 650 dollar bundle. And won't ship for like a week and a half.

---

Target is back up disc version for pick up. Waiting on confirmation email but it says I got through finally

---

Absolute fucking horse shit at Target. Kept telling me I can't add a card (my redcard I've had on there for years?) which is apparently what people have been getting all night, then either pulling it from my cart or not letting me check out. Now every store within 50 miles is sold out after less than 10 minutes. Ugh.

I actually sleepily got out of bed to piss, saw you just make your post, frantically went to target, tried multiple times to buy, clicked on add to cart in multiple stores all across Houston, and every time it said error, and then when I looked again the store was out of stock.

Damn. :\

Yeah I used the app. Had my card info and everything typed up, made an account so I can get in and out. Website crashed on me 3 seperate times I tried to preorder before

Download an app called hot stock, it sent me a few notifications about it being stock this morning. And here's the Costco ad

Yeah I tried both, neither worked. Interesting that it's order pickup or driveup only, yet still they say "limited stock" and not available for pickup

---

its funny, one minute it says limited stock not available for pick up (at multiple stores), next minute its ALL out of stock at multiple stores.

I think this is payback for me making 500 dollars profit off of ps4 launch.

Tbf all out of stock is what it said before the listings went up, and popfindr still says all the stores in my area have like 2/3 of their stock left, so they may list more?

---

Target back in stock

---

Lol are targets slow releasing stocks of fucking 30 over a 24 hour period or something? What a fucking joke

What a shit show. Should have been first come, first serve in one drop not whatever the fuck this is lol looks like I probably wont be getting one til they're readily available.

I'll give Walmart a shot in the AM tho
---

Best Buy error message upon clicking add to cart:

"This item is not in your cart yet.

Due to high demand, we're having everyone go through one more step before it can be added.

Please try again."

I don't even know what that means. :|

I had one in my target cart last night but it kept saying my CC had the wrong expiration date and it was gone :(

10 minutes to walmart

I just wanted to check the scene and Walmart won't load for me lol

---

Just was able to secure an order through costco

glad my wife pushed us to get a membership a couple months ago haha

---

And its gone....why did I even try.

---

Is the Costco one still up? Walmart's app completely crashed for the entire sale time lol
---

Lol walmart was a bust.
---

I kinda feel bad for people trying to snag a PS5

I didn't try to get one. I was at work when the first batch went live.

My best friend accidentally managed to secure two. So he literally just gave me one for my birthday. Lmao. I don't know where to put it because of the size, so I probably won't even hook it up for a few weeks.
