Thanks a lot. So we should pay attention to sites like Amazon on Wednesday at that time then?

Walmart is 100% dropping at 9PMEST. So I'd say get your account set up with payment and address etc; same with target to be safe.

Walmart is surefire. But we have no 100% confirmations for other locations yet, but it seems like they might follow suit.

And thinking about it, I can see places going live to get paid before Walmart and gamestop drops on Wednesday and Friday respectively.

Today is going to be a weird one.

I love how all the stock people on twitter are like

"OMG STILL IN STOCK KEEP TRYING TO ADD TO CART"

as if there aren't just 4 desperate people staring at it in their cart, wondering if it's worth it.

This is a scalper bundle, but even then they'd only make $100 profit so I doubt they'd even fuck with it.

I was just at Target buying Apple gift cards and they had no new consoles, but had a stack of the Mario Kart Switch bundle and they were selling them pretty quickly. I guess it really is Black Friday month and not Black Friday day this year.

Expect to see a lot of those back on the resale market once that rumored "pro" gets inevitably announced

"91 shoppers have added this to their cart today—it's moving fast."

Funny that the QVC PS5 bundle comes with a silicon case for a PS4 controller...

Wondering if 9pm will be too late to show up for GameStop's 7am sale...

Check at 9. See people there? Fuck it.

Don't see people? Either camp it or sleep till like... 3/4. Go check it out, if nobody is there, stay. It opens at 7AM just be safe, especially if you live in a shitty area where people don't practice any COVID counter measures. This shit ain't worth dyin' for.

Try and cop a walmart pick up tomorrow

Is there a small chance Amazon UK might get stock of the Series S any time soon? Got some vouchers burning a hole in mh pocket, they're either being spent on a Series S or some nice wireless headphones.

I love how many retailers are just taking advantage of the situation to force absurd bundles that cost nearly $1k in the end to purchase.

The Target I was at had a new sign outside the door informing guests that they can't form lines for electronics anymore. And then the sign has individual entries for items that are currently in or out of stock. Also says to buy them you must order it online for street/indoor pickup.

Walmart 9PM till OOS it seems. And yeah, Gamestop is in person Friday. Minimum of 2 per store, just make sure to call ahead to a few stores and go to the one that has the most of what you're looking for to increase your chances of getting it. But call today or tomorrow, they're not open on Thanksgiving (thursday)

At this point, I'll just settle on a GameSpot shifty bundle. I ordered a Xbox Series X through Microsoft store and still is pending.

The bundles for Xbox will really suck value-wise, with lots of the stuff it's likely to come with already on sale

I think you have to just search manually for Series X Bundle to find them, showing as unavailable though

Good luck
