Best Buy has been "shipping tomorrow" for a few days now. Looks like they've dropped the ball. Hopefully I can get it in time for the weekend.

Watching target and best buy tonight since the card I have has enough for just the physical ps5. Half hoping to see it back on shopmyexchange at some point though, could actually buy bundles there lol

Best Buy update: my Spider-man now says shipped and arriving tomorrow but they are still getting the PS5 ready and it says shipping tomorrow. /Sigh

Just wait for Wario. There's no confirmed Target time. I can't imagine refreshing for the next ~3 hours nonstop lol

Is anyone having any trouble with popfindr? I was trying to see Target's supply in my area and I keep getting a web server error. I've got one preordered through Walmart but we all know what that is looking like.

I wouldn't really mind ordering from NewEgg, except that you're either forced to buy an extra controller or Spider-Man+Sackboy. I got no use for a second Dual Sense or Sackboy. IIRC NewEgg does not charge sales tax in my state though, so I can almost justify the obnoxious bundling because I will save ~$40 on sales tax.

Still though, if we're guaranteed availability at midnight then that's not a bad backup plan. Lock in an order and NewEgg just in case you can't get a PS5 from Wal-Mart or Target.

So when is online stock meant to show up in stores? Is the prediction that it will be 3AM for places like Target, Best Buy, and Amazon?

Newegg has no refunds apparently, definitely not doing that

Sorry if I missed it, but are there any going up on Best Buy tonight? Don't want to stay up unnecessarily, lol.

Finally tracking for Target is showing and surprisingly it's going to be here on Friday. I totally expected next week.

I really hate Target right now. Now I'm kicking myself for cancelling that Walmart backup preorder I had.

Yikes why would you pick Target over Walmart if you cared about timing?

You will have literally less than a minute to put one in your cart and pay for it, or you won't get one. Shit happened when Walmart did their 9PM phase on the 17th. Page wouldn't even load for me at all, and my friend got one in his cart, but took all of 30s to try to input his payment method, so he didn't get one.

Why would you expect or need a refund though? If the system breaks it is under Sony's warranty, and if you simply don't want it you should be able to sell it for more than retail value.

In case I get a Target/Walmart order earlier- don't really wanna go through the hassle of reselling it

Target pre-order just shipped, FedEx says it'll be here Saturday--ugh. Ordered Spider-Man and it says it won't be delivered until Monday (also got from Target)--Target really didn't care about getting these to some of us on launch day, huh?

Walmart orders in Louisville have departed. Still insane to me that 3-ish hours from now it's going to be in my area and they're just going to sit on it until Friday. Still holding out slight hope my November 13th date changes to tomorrow.

Reporting from Japan.

Ordered from Amazon. Got mine about two hours ago so that was really awesome. The exclusive eco bag is nothing to write home about. Already have the system set up. Played some Astro and loving it so far.

I was able to get a Target Xbox on Monday pretty easily. It's a bit easier than the Walmart one because there's no set time for bots to attack. But yea, always always always have the payment method ready.

Don't count it out. FedEx updated my GameStop delivery(was originally Friday) it is now Thursday and it is 5 hours away

Any other NY bros seeing no movement whatsoever on their Target order? Mine hasn't changed since last night. Still says "preparing to ship" with a 11/18 delivery date. So frustrating.

This is the only positive that I could think of with Target's method and essentially the only real way to stand a chance against them. And yeah, he learned from that mistake and updated his Target app (and did a trial run) as well as his Walmart account so that won't happen again if he gets something in his cart.

Setting up Fedex delivery manager worked for my Walmart order. I now see that my order is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

I'll be damned, I got the Target email. It hasn't hit my Fedex app yet, but hopefully it will shortly. That's the one I'm giving to my friend, so no biggee if I don't get it tomorrow :D
