How sure are we of stock being held for target? I called them and they said all would be sold online of course that could be un true. Is there a way to check the stock?

So... as far as we know, the only remaining avenues to get a PS5 in the near-future are:

- Walmart's remaining two time slots today (lol, yeah right)
- Potential for some Targets to have units available in-store tomorrow morning
- Playstation Direct site restock tomorrow

Am I missing any?

possibly. Especially if you do 1-2 day express shipping which is free with PS+ and other stores may not ship till even later depending on availability

Don't think anyone from the early morning drop have gotten theirs shipped yet or at least not many
Yeah I wish I went with the Direct then lol. Wal-Mart isn't delivering mine until the 28th.

Dilemma time. I have an extra Series X I was going to return to Amazon, but someone near me is looking to trade a PS5 for a Series X. Should I even consider this, or should I just ignore it because of the potential risks?

I was kind of hoping that someone might want to make a trade, but I don't know if I feel like doing it with a stranger on Craigslist...they mentioned that they'd want to meet in a secure place like a police station parking lot in their post, so I guess that's a good sign.

currently sitting in the submit order page on walmart, but obviously I know its out of stock because that's what the app says... wonder if I can keep the page here and hit submit on the next round 🤔
You can! Just don't try anything funny until it hits on the hour.

People are saying that the ones they ordered last night (really early this morning) already shipped or they've gotten a FedEx notification about it so possibly later today? It would be cool to get my PS5 tomorrow.

Nice to know. Just got one too and was wondering if the order would update with an expected delivery date. Fingers crossed it works out that smoothly.

Thank you guys for this thread. Without it I couldn't have gotten my system. Go with God for those that still need one.

One last question. Is there away for me to know when the stock is up (like a notification for example) or would I have to pay attention? Does the extension notifies when the refresh is a new page?

Edit: That's two questions :D Thanks, btw.
Nah you gotta keep an eye on it. I just happened to look while refreshing the shit out of walmart.

Do the trade in a police station. No risk. If he or she doesn't agree, it's not legit.

Weird, I was trying to check out on PS Direct the last time they got stock and it wouldn't let me go to the checkout page. Figured I struck out but then eventually I got an order confirmation email. So bizarre.

"Out of Stock"

Well, they at least let my cancel my media remote order, so I won't have that thing sitting around to remind me of my failure haha. I'm going to be busy tomorrow and won't get a chance to try Direct again then, so I imagine I'm screwed for the foreseeable future. Ah well. Congrats to everyone who got one! I'm happy for ya!

Scored one via Sony direct where all others failed.

the secret sauce: open the page that morning and keep your session active through the day by refreshing every few minutes. I was able to skip the queue and get my order in.

now to wait for it to ship! And decide on a launch game. I'm thinking sackboy.

Question for Sony Rewards members:

I'm not going to bother buying a PS5 today due to high demand, but where should I buy a PS5 in the future to earn maximum reward points?

This is what I did too. Just periodically refreshed and magically they had them one time. Scored the digital edition I was looking for.

i've helped friends secure at least 5 disc consoles in the last 15 or so hours. Still zero for digital tho. It's not a win until I get it.

I don't quite buy this as I ordered mine from Sony Direct yesterday and have a FedEx tracking # already saying it will arrive by Sat. But, the product hasn't been picked up by FedEx yet, so I can't confirm... it could change I guess.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change PS Direct shipping to express? The support site offers a chat option, but says they're busy and to try again later.

Walmart said they wouldn't deliver the PS5 to me until 12/1... thinking of just waiting until tomorrow for the Sony Direct restock now that I am logged in and refreshing. Walmart is too annoying to wait three weeks for delivery.
