Immediately sold out in a second.

I refuse to believe any of this is legit. Someone is buying all of these up. It's insanity.

It seemed to briefly do something when it was still $499, but it just added the usual $900 listing to my cart lol.

Glad it's at least immediate disappointment instead of the half hour of false hope like yesterday.

It's some nonsense on their website. The links came back again. Just sounds like a bad drop otherwise, even with this press & hold mechanic. Will that actually stop Scalpers?

It kept popping the "hold for a human" button over and over again until it would eventually just tell me it was experiencing technical difficulties and then reload again.

Managed to check out on the 10/28 drop but has been stuck on "Placed" since. Anyone seen any movement on those orders? Dunno why Walmart is having multiple waves when they arent fulfilling past ones.

When was the last time Sony did a direct? I'm trying to get one for a friend but Walmart is a joke.

When was the last Target drop? I've had success with their store pickup option in the past.
The morning of October 27th. I fumbled the PS5 Digital Edition as it went live; stock melted as I tried to put one from different locations in my cart. Had no problem checking out a XSX with Target back in April following the YouTuber, Jake Randall, that was posted on this page.

It seems the Target ones go on sale at like 4 or 5am PST. So of course I'm always asleep when it happens.

Considering grabbing an XSX off FBM for Christmas.
Is this insanity the new normal for silicon-heavy consumer electronics or is it just the whole 'global situation'?

I WANT A SERIES X ! Been dying to try a Forza Horizon game for a long time, and now that I have the money to buy the best console for that, I can't put my hands on one. Xbox is already not super popular here in France, I'm sure stores are not really rushing to try and get a restock. I found a PS5 without any problem but Series X is so rare...
