Same here. bought a PS5 from BB and for 5-7 days, while order was confirmed via email within minutes, the order status didn't update on the site for a while. Agree that BB got their act together on the order experience and ensuring they don't oversell.

Any specific tool you guys are using to keep up on when SKUs go live? I refresh pages once in a while but there's no way I would have known to come to Amazon at 6pm. Is there a twitter account or something else that gives real-time info?

So - with the price coming down on Friday and with Target offering a $50GC on PS4s through saturday, seems we could get a PS4 at $350 + a $50 GC - which is a pretty sweet deal Could get a PS4 today at $399 + $50 GC to lock the GC and then apply for a price match the day after when the hardware...
