- Sony Microsoft OT
Had Demon's Souls in my cart ready to buy and then, boom, next click put me in the que. Whether I want to or not :\
Love this reference.
I think so? At this point everyone is at an hour so you probably still got a chance.
I don't think this is true, FWIW. Every time I've had multiple tabs open, the first one I opened goes the fastest
Oh shit I got here late today. Getting in queue now, hopefully still in the early corralling period.
Says "one per household" which makes me wonder about friends in the same apartment.
Gave up on walmart, went to local best buy and they sold me a cancelled xbox preorder :)
no more next-gen shopping now! hahaha!

Ok now do 3Ds!
It actually only now let me back in on that browser so they might have changed that to substantially more than 5 minutes? Not sure, weird.
Series X in my cart on microsoft and have been clicking Place Order for about an hour like an idiot...
Now I'm over here rationalizing StockX like, "Well since your boy owns part of the site its kind of like helping him out and maybe that's not that bad..." especially after having seen the Gamestop bundle pricing
Currently, in PS direct queue also because why not just go through all the pain at once.

Generally less than 40 minutes from the queue's appearance.
should happen within the next hour at latest. after its up max 1-20 minutes for oos for the day
You'll probably know whether or not you're getting one within an hour
Yesterday, my queue first updated to 39 minutes, and counted down from there; I got into the store RIGHT after they went OOS, but a good minute before Wario/StockSupply were able to post that they were OOS. So 39 minutes is probably a decent rule of thumb for "do I have a shot or not" when your queue initially updates.
You'd think that's what retailers would do, but unfortunately my 3 cancelled 3080 orders from Newegg say differently
Almost like they don't care who buys them as long as they're sold
From what I've gathered is the pre-queue lasts 30 minutes and if you make it into that, your position is shuffled once the sale goes live. If you join the queue while the sale is live, you are put in at the very back.
They don't care since any new stock they get will sale in seconds but that's so fucking shitty for their customers.
No, it happens whenever you're farthest from your computer. Sony watches you, like Santa.
the time it goes up is completely random. sometimes its morning, sometime around noon, sometimes in the afternoon
It happens daily at random times, usually afternoon EST. Sometimes morning.
No, his order went through but because Walmart got more orders that went through than their inventory they cancelled people's order.

You would think that they would only let the same number of people through to payment processing as there are units for. Dumb to give someone false hope lol
