For those of you who got one was it from the page where you got stuck waiting for the site to load or what? Really makes no sense how this works

It really seems to be that it just let's some people in and makes everyone else wait so the chosen ones can buy.

Dude just noticed they went up about 5 minutes after I got booted from store. The frustration is getting real.

Still says was my turn at 4:16. This continually pops up and I click it and then it never redirects me.

Trying to buy a ps5 has been the worst purchasing experience I've ever had. I managed to snag 3 Series X machines (one for me, my bro and friend), that was comparably painless. Either I join the queue too late, or too soon and I'm SOL.

Here is what I did...

Wario64 tweeted there was a queue, my phone showed he tweeted this 5 minutes prior to me seeing it. I clicked the link he provided, and then clicked the ellipsis at the top right corner, to direct me to a tab so I wouldnt be stuck in the queue in my Twitter app.

From that point, I literally kept my phone awake from that point on. I sat in the queue for 35 minutes or so, until it told me it was my turn. However, though it said it was my turn, I sat on that page for over 45 minutes. Again I just kept my phone awake, on this page, staring at it lol. Just eating pizza, drinking sangria, and staring at this page. At some point it brought me to the PS5 console page and told me to sign in. I signed in and checkout was a breeze.

I still can't believe I got one lol. I tried so many damn times.

I think the website is just broke for us that got in early, my bar hasn't moved in over 30 minutes, people stuck in the redirect for that long, it's like it froze up on people who were in line before they went live

Do you remember when you clicked your "ten minute button"? Are you saying that was 35 minutes from when Wario posted the tweet?

Wal Mart is suppose to have X and PS5, if you really want something I'd just suggest going for the X and try your luck.
