I’m not suggesting waiting outside for 2 days to get a console. That’s just stupid. Unless you find that fun. You do you. A friend asked my to camp when the Wii came out. I don’t recall if we went overnight or just super early in the morning. We had a really fun time. Those were different times though.
I’m saying there’s people out there that if it takes more than 5 minutes to do something or look for something, they won’t do it.
I was able to get 2 X’s (one for me, one for a cousin for her kids) just buy checking here or other sites every once in awhile. I’ve spent maybe an hour of my time total looking for a ps5.
Opportunity cost is a real thing, you’re right there. Can I afford a $800 or $1200 PS5? Yes. Would I ever pay that? Hell no. I’ll wait until I come across one at retail.
