Just saw this article of people waiting at some GameStop for a next-gen console. Lol the Xbox name really is confusing some people.

www.wkbn.com

Downsized crowd waiting overnight at Eastwood Mall in Niles for Black Friday deals

Some shoppers in Niles were willing to camp out through the night for one specific type of gift.

"At GameStop locations across the Valley, people are camping out to get their hands on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One, which have been hard to get online."

Even on the video they calling it Xbox One

So confused about Walmart. If they had in store PS5's, you think they'd be more clear about it.

If we are in this PS5 line, and with it getting delayed, holding us in longer, then delayed, and finally OUT OF STOCK! That will be one of the worst ps5 experiences yet! Its crazy lol.

Pushed back again.

Seriously, fuck off. Getting annoying.

I'm going to guess it has something to do with their Membership Sign Up links being fucked. If you just Google 'Meijer Create Membership' I can finally get it to load on two different links but once I get to the end it just spins non-stop. Though it does say that my e-mail has been taken when I tried it a 2nd time, but who knows.

i think they are pushing it back because the website is fucking broken. I literally cannot access any normal page on the meijer website.

How is there really 95,000 ppl still in front of me in this Meijer queue? This is seriously bumming me out, lol. At this rate i'm not getting a PS5 until 2023.

This, after I asked the people in their electronics/gaming section several times over the past few weeks about the console and they've said they weren't going to be selling them since it's online only. So I gave up only to find myself here and now in a second queue that will ultimately end in disappointment lol.

I think they might deliver to your car in the parking lot of one of their stores.

lol, they just started doing local delivery a month or so ago here (I think) - Not counting Shipt.
Their system definitely isn't set up for deliveries outside the area at least, and many of their locations haven't even got the pick-up order system in place yet.

I worked as a cashier at Meijer back during the PS2 release. What a shitshow that was. They changed their plan multiple times in the same day. I was really annoyed, because I had to work the overnight shift and therefore wasn't able to try getting one when they officially allowed them to be sold at 12:01am. Instead, I got to be the lone cashier who rang everyone who got one up.

17.5 hours down. 6.5 hours to go.

People will not listen. They do not all believe I saw the store manager this morning. They opt to camp out despite my warning that they will not acquire a console.

I tried, Shepard.

I bet they keep pushing this back cause their website and app are so screwed up. Many pages saying "WE ARE UPDATING" or you get 504s and stuff. I dont think they are going to let people finally in when their infrastructure is so messed up right now where you cant even login to your account or update any of your account information or anything if you do get in.


I bet they are working on backend stuff right now.

I have one page open with the countdown for queue placement... And three tabs open where I'm already logged into the meijer site and can add things to cart.

Should I exit the queue page?
