It's not like a bot will get tired of refreshing. Random times probably do little to stop boys, while making it harder for humans to be ready on time.
does a bot have a psn account required to do this? i thought direct flushed out bots. walmart, sure. but but not this site. i dont think a single bot got a direct ps5 yet.

Holding back stock for Black Friday makes little sense to me from a retailer perspective. They aren't going to make more profit selling it then than now. Only thought process might be sell the console then and make sure more people maybe buy the more expensive bundles?

Ugh frustrating stuff...

It's an easy, sure fire way to drive insane amounts of traffic and further eventize online Black Friday, which retailers will be depending on most this year. For those who land a console there are mass sales on related items(games, accessories, movies). But what they're really banking on is those who can't, which will be the overwhelming majority, spending that money on any number of "killer deals" instead.

Fuck yeah, Capitalism.

Anyone have something like this happen? PS5 ordered from Sony, set for delivery today, was put on a truck at 7:00 this morning.
They still haven't shown up with the package.
A Fed Ex truck was spotted in our parking lot around noon but he just drove through, never stopped.

Seriously FedEx. Been home all day waiting for the order I placed on PS Direct, when I get a notification that it's been delivered and signed for by "ccovid" - what the fuck. So who in the hell knows what happened to it.

Amazon is having a hell of a time getting me a PS5.

Was suppose to be here Thursday, then got delayed that morning with no date. They eventually rescheduled to a Saturday delivery. UPS showed up with no PS5. And I can see they have no estimated delivery date and they are still waiting to receive the package.... of course amazon's website still insists it is "arriving today!"

Demand is obviously crazy but does anyone have an idea of how much stock was released by MS and Sony for launch?

I am guessing 500k and it probably needed to be like 2 million to come close to what demand was.

Was always curious if the effect of being new and wanted would actually make it where they could sell 10 million plus in a few months. Never saw it be possible but I would imagine if they were just stacked up and able to buy it would have a chance.

Check all around your house. FedEx will randomly drop packages between at my doorstep or side of garage with no rhyme or reason.

Mine from Amazon is being delivered by USPS.. haven't seen an update just "Out for Delivery" all day and said to be delivered by 9:00.

Well I check the tracking number on USPS' website instead of Amazon and I see that 25 minutes ago they left a notice with the apartment I guess that the receptacle was full / oversized box (lol). So now I have to pick it up on MONDAY!

Hopefully you'll only be shot and not given covid and molested, still for 600 smackers if I was single I would risk it, shit I've risked my life worse for less
Tbf i already nearly died to and am physically capable to defend myself, plus id be going with a buddy.

Just meet up at a police station.
That is true but as someone that is originally from a bad place i know police stations are only a deterrent so I'm never 100% on this kinda deals.

I'm basically trying to convince myself.

It also has been up for a couple of days which makes me sus.

That was supposed to be bots, not boys. Keys next to each other on a cramped phone keyboard.
I thought that was obvious in the context of it, no sweat.

Oh god, that's awful. Well now I'm paranoid for my fedex delivery on Monday.

So I live at the end of a long, shared driveway with another house. I had FedEx on the phone and decided to walk down to mailbox just to see if might have been left there. Found the box sitting in the mud and leaves under a tree in my neighbors yard. I get Covid restrictions mean some things change (in-person deliveries), but come the fuck on FedEx - do the bare minimum and leave it on my porch.

I'm going to be pissed if Sony does not sell any PS5's today. You can't say you are selling them tomorrow and take it off without communicating that clearly.

Yeah I am starting to wonder if the 14th was just a roll over effect and they had to remove it. Any idea how long it was on the site?

It was up there for quite a while last night before taking it down. A couple of us managed to see it reappear earlier today but whether it was cache issues or what we don't know. But it was up for at least a matter of a couple hours I feel?

I'd say it was up for at least 5 hours.

I was somehow lucky enough to get a PS5 thursday at their 6pm window. I will say it was a lot of luck, the site was very slow, with tons of loading, even errored out, when i hit place my order. I thought it failed, until i got a order email from walmart.

I also checked my card. Which showed walmart charge me three times. However my balance did show it only took out money once. After a few minutes, their site also listed my order.

Now what isn't great.. is it shows by november 25th. Which hopefully this coming week, they manage to ship it, and get it a bit sooner. Overall i can manage till the 25th, if needed.
