It's ridiculous finding higher tier GPUs these days such as the 3080. Bots are grabbing almost all of them.
Already have a good gaming pc, just don't use it much.
Honestly... yeah. Grabbing from Costco was easy enough that I honestly thought they were overselling it when it was still in stock half an hour later, but it really probably helps that most people w memberships grabbing that bundle weren't bots trying to flip on ebay immediately. The checkout definitely struggled but it *did* work
Negative. This is now three generations where I've failed to land any launch console. I've got an XSX at BB ordered for pickup tomorrow, thanks to allfires yesterday, but I fully expect it to not be ready for pickup or get cancelled, if for no other reason than he was able to place an order for me while bb said out of stock, plus the shit luck I've had.
How many choices did you really have? My GS bundle was Spiderman, a controller, and a year of plus. I'll admit that any good CAG has plus for cheap, but thats not really a shitty bundle imo.
I missed out on 4 launches; I ended up getting the PS2 in 2001, the PS3 in 2007, the PS4 in 2014, and, by the looks of it, I won't get the PS5 until 2021.
Nope, the 3 oclock as soon as i refreshed it said check back at 6 then i was really pissed, then i refreshed again and it said add to cart which i did but when i went to check out nothing. such a trash.
I feel your pain.
Failed both times for different reasons. I was just a hair away at 3, but I haven't used my Walmart account in forever and the card they had expired. I think we all know what happened after I updated it.
I'd be calling the local Fed Ex plant and telling them that, in case the driver is going to try and keep it
I am curious also. Someone may have mentioned walmart had it the next day? Target was having a lot of issues and my main store locked me out very early and its stock has been holding steady, hasnt dropped at all. Maybe they are just holding them for tonight for all the workers to buy I wouldnt be surprised.
I had it still in my cart from last night when it wouldn't let me finish check out. Had the page open all morning randomly refreshing. Just happened to restock when Walmart did at 3.
Dude, you'll get one eventually. It's a bit of a knee jerk response to write off a hobby because of an annoying pre-order scenario and waiting a bit for a new console. Have you played all the PS4 games that you want to? Do you have any other consoles, handhelds, or a PC? You'll be fine waiting for a bit.
I remember how hard it was to get a Wii when they first came out. I wanted one on release day, but didn't happen. For weeks after launch, I would head to the local ToysRUs, but their stock would run out. I probably didn't get one until three months after release. Yeah, it sucked to have to wait that long, but it will make that moment you hold it in your hands that much more incredible.
This year has definitely been particularly annoying for big launches. I've so far failed to get a PS5 and an RTX 3080. It's super annoying, but I have a lot, a loooooot, of other things to play, watch, do, etc. It's just really easy to get caught up in hype.
Agreed, at least there's a backlog to tackle. I think I've given up on finding a 3080 for now. Might wait and see the specs and price on the rumored Ti and might even wait until late next year for a new build.
Update:GS & BB ready for instore pick up tomorrow.
Tracking updates:
Target: Shipped ETA 18th
Walmart: No updates, preparing. (just like my series X, but came a day before launch)
Amazon: Shipped ETA tomorrow by 8PM.
Playstation Direct: Shipped on the 7th, already in my area. Can't be delivered till tomorrow by sender request.
It's better than getting it confirmed only to be told later it was sold out.
ing beast! Pictures just don’t do it justice. Or maybe they do lol. Took up the entire space of the box, whereas the Series X box probably could’ve fit two of them in there. At 14-15 pounds, the PS5 is a hefty boi indeed!
