Any news on BB drops? I am seeing Discover is 5% cash back this week.

Well, I was at least going to try for local pickup anyway, so I guess we'll see what happens. Assuming I can get any kind of order through at all, of course.
Yeah, I am trying for a local pickup as well. Already have one reserved at Best Buy for Friday (but apparently it's ready today, but couldn't pick it up until friday anyway), but would rather not travel 40 miles down to Best Buy and 40 miles back. Wal-Mart is literally right next door to me. So hopefully I can secure one there and potentially cancel my Best Buy order or see if a friend wants it.

Remember just to make sure normal people will never get a PS5, Walmart makes sure to force you to re-input your address before buying even when it's saved on your account and not required for any other purchase on the site and also complete a captcha that won't submit 99 out of 100 times you try to solve it.

Wal-Mart has been so confusing on their messaging for tonight. Just look at what they said on Twitter today.



This was the same thing I was told. I'm trying to get a Series S for my son and I went last night to my local WM because it showed they had some in stock and the guy there said it was their Black Friday inventory and that I would be able to order one tonight.

So... we'll see.

I just want to say that I know many of us have been here for too long, but don't hang your hopes on Walmart. They are gonna be botted to oblivion.

It's not worth the added stress.

Happy to be wrong and hope some of us get through but I hate seeing folks get so upset. This situation sucks.

I've never had to re enter my address? Also try setting up your browsers forms in advance so you can just do a couple of clicks in the event that you need to enter it

I've had to re-enter it pretty much every time I made it that far in checkout at Walmart. Then you get the oh deer and have to try again. Never had a successful checkout from them.

I'm going to try tonight because this is the first time I've had the money to buy one when there's been a chance to actually buy one, but I'm not pinning my hopes on it actually working out. I figure I might as well try, but I won't be crushed when the inevitable happens.

Oh I totally understand folks going for it. I wish ya the best on the attempt.

I just don't like seeing everyone upset so hoping this gets some people in the right frame of mind.

I haven't had a successful checkout either, but never had to fill in address. Def do the save forms to save some time. Are you using the app? I've seen people say add it to cart on the site, then use the app to checkout

My XSX Best Buy order from Sunday flagged as ready to pick up last night. Finally got my hands on one. Thanks for the help everyone, and good luck to everyone still looking!

I've tried this method too. It always fails to load or gives me the oh deer every time even in app.

Any word on those free Kohlsbucks getting yanked yet? They've got three more days before their inventory gets raided.

I'm guessing at this point Sony is driving their consoles to retailers for BF but it's nuts they haven't dropped a single Direct in about a week!

It appears that -- for the moment -- I've gotten lucky with my local GameStop. I scouted out the area. No one's here yet.

Mind you, I ain't stayin' either. But I wanted to see if it's already this wild. If it was, I sure as heck wouldn't waste my time tomorrow!


She's great. I highly recommend watching older videos, especially the one where they reveal who they are in real life and how they make their videos.

Rad! Will do.

Okay, so the next Wal-Mart sale goes up at 9pm PAcific, right?

I've been trying to get a Series X through All Access, but by the time, it's ready, the cart is empty. Should I just give up and try for a Series S full price? I can't afford $500 right now.

Goes up 9pm EST. Goes down 9:00:30 EST. All getting an S does is mean you are shelling out $300 now and $500 later.
