The Costco XSX basically went oos instantly from what I can tell. If you can't even get one of these things on a membership website now seems like it's gonna be impossible pretty much everywhere.

PS5 & XSX Pickup: The Struggle Continues |OT|
- Thread starter Quasaromega
- Start date
- Sony Microsoft OT
There hasn't been for 3 days. This will be the 4th in a row if we don't get one.
Jury's out on that, but given that there wasn't one on Friday, it's possible that we're gonna enter a dry spell in which stock gets saved up for Black Friday.
It's so insanely hard to get one that I think I might just end up not caring eventually and wait it out. I really wanted to play Cyberpunk on a PS5 on release but it might not be possible.
Like... this shit fucks me up. Make it local pick-up only with phone number/capchas, limit 1 per number/payment option and everyone is set.
I had a dream where
Honestly that would be the best.
Though I have a feeling all of the will go to one buyer to flip on stockx

I really hope not. These smaller stock drops are better than larger ones, particularly if the bots and the demonspawn that use them don't get out of bed for anything other than announced stock drops.
Walmart is tomorrow right?
? I got one
Walmart Online Wednesday at 9PMEST then Gamestop in person on Friday
Ps5 was up for several minutes on costco. Could have grabbed one but I didn't like being forced into a bundle
Ah, since it only showed up on like one questionable twitter account that I could find (one for ordering shoes!), the person who posted here said he was mistaken about it, and everyone said it was sold out when they got there, I figured it wasn't real.
Wait, it was? :( I almost prefer not knowing. I would've got it and have been sitting here ready for a drop of any kind. All I heard was about Xbox bundles
Gamestop opens up 7AM and isn't open on Thursday. So I suggest calling around on Wednesday and checking stock on popfinder to see how much your location of choice will have. They are expecting a MINIMUM of two per store.
Two disc? Two digital? one of each? One playstation one x box? who knows, messaging isn't entirely clear. So if you're gonna camp it out or something. Try your best to not waste your time ahead of time.
They care, a sale isn't a sale when it's a bot for a reseller who will be returning the device in just under a month when they couldn't sell it for over $1000. It's also bad for the company image. This is why BestBuy has been trying more and more things to battle the bots, and why stores like Costco limit it to 1 per customer and threaten canceling orders.
But the question is, is how much they care worth the expense of battling bots? For some companies, the answer is, no.
I'm checking my email like hourly hoping my MS Store order for the XSX ships. I don't think it's worth playing the brick and mortar game since I've got an order secured I just don't have faith they're shipping it early. I'll be waiting until 12/23 I have a feeling 🧐
this account has been better than Wario64 the last week or so and has been getting more and more popular. I recommend it
I think they have stated they are only getting like 1-2 per store, however that probably won't stop a few dozen people from lining up anyway.
Not that it makes it better, its a MINIMUM of 2. But there's zero confirmation as to what that means in terms of which units they're getting
anyone got any leads on a Pulse 3D headset? i have a console and everything and my partner and i are currently sharing headphones, i'd rather just have my own for gaming. failing a Pulse does anyone have any recommendations on PS5-compatible headsets that don't look like knockoff transformers?
I thought it was that every store would have at least 2, meaning they could have more, but there'll be at least 2 at your local one.
Thats good advice. Thanks! Hopefully I won't even had to consider Gamestop and I can get one online earlier
Your odds are definitely a lot better I would say since many of us as evident by this thread and other sites have had their order cancelled already.
How so. Is the markup between disc version and digital version that significant to generate a profit? I'm not sure the cost of adding a disc drive and other connecting components, but I'd think the profit margins between the two would be really insignificant.
Of course! Just be safe if you have to do gamestop option. I'd say if you're not even in the first 3 in line, don't both. Ask the people ahead what they're there for and go home if they're taking what you want. Not worth dying over this shit.
Let's all get something on or before Wednesday. After Friday, there's no mention of when or who is getting stock.
I just randomly refreshed Costco about 5 minutes ago, it let me add to cart but not place order, then eventually it let me complete the order (after about 15 tries). I'd say refresh Costco a bunch and see if it lets any of you in.
Edit: For Series X btw
I'd assume it's flickering stock, maybe for people that canceled or something?

Ah ok, my bad. Agreed that it's pretty irresponsible to do that. Of course some of these stores have proven they don't really care about that.
They are losing money on both. The disk drive only saves a few dollars.
I'm pulling these numbers out of no where, but if they are losing $100 on PS5 then they are losing like $190 on DE.
Looks like the sale of the sale of the two break even, basically.

Is Sony eating hundreds of dollars on each PS3?
The game console might cost you $499, but it's got $806 worth of parts and manufacturing behind it, a research firm says.

Bestbuy doesn't cancel. They know how to do inventory. I should of went with them.
