ing PS5 queue one out of 20 attempts just because it is the console I want for myself. Was in that ing queue again for over an hour and sold out lol
PS Direct is the worst. Having a queue sounded much better at first compared to websites that just crash from too many people accessing them, but in reality you just wait for hours just to get the "sorry, we're sold out" message.
Queue was up approximately 50 minutes. It was in stock for a little over15 minutes before it went OOS today.
Any idea if Best Buy is like Walmart and has systems days early and even if your status doesn't say it's ready, some of them will give it out?
If you’re not in with 1 min of the queue opening then it’s a no go. When mejier had a queue it had a counter. Something like 1/2 a million people were trying to get a ps5 from a small regional retailer like mejier.
I gave them the packing slip - it had three items listed - and I returned the 2 extra items and told them I sold the PS4 to a dummy.
Mine was received on Friday
Why call them a dummy? Just because they don't rush to buy the latest console? Stay classy!
Sorry Billy.
I’ve had the best luck at Best Buy and Walmart. Ps direct gets slammed if you’re not in the queue in the first minute or two.
A dispute would refund the entire purchase, which I'm not trying to do. It's just the $70 controller that I'm trying to offload since the only reason I'd see getting another controller for the system is if I really like the color scheme. At this point, I'll probably just sell it to offset the bundle cost if I can.
Interesting. Well either way, not a good enough reason to dispute since what I was trying to do goes against the concept of a bundle anyway. It was more a FYI for all two of us on here that actually got the bundle shipped heh. This is why I never shop at Kohl's, unless it's something extreme like a sold out console.
Seems that way. Apparently some stores had 20+ people in line. Its being reported that people are being turned away as they are for online orders. With that said, some managers are saying they do indeed have them in stock.
Both are fantastic choices. Wingspan gets a slight bit more of a nod from me if you have lighter gaming family members.
Absolutely horrible. There needs to be some type of legislation. I would suggest a law that any product that has been released can only go up for auction after 120 days AFTER THE INITIAL RELEASE DATE. This would put a HUGE DENT in the scalping industry.
You want a law against capitalism? Don't get me wrong, misleading a buyer into buying a box is ridiculous. However, if people weren't willing to pay the inflated scalping prices, there wouldn't be money to be made. The people dumb enough to pay 2-3x retail for anything are a big part of the problem.
ing awful and terrifying. And I say this as someone that has still not been able to secure one of these damn things. Wow. I've seen people tricking with boxes, but not photos. Crazy they post the boxes of not only the PS5, but of the controller, game, etc. What's funny though is the people who are inflating those prices....some of them have 0 or 1 feedback. They are trolling the seller and never pay.
I think that upwards of half the country is working with some sort of mental deficiency where they think they get to make up their own rules and create their own narratives for reality. Social responsibility is at an all-time low. People can't tell the difference between facts, their rights, and fiction anymore. I used to think it was the younger, entitled, special snowflake generations that always had to get their way no matter what. But I've come to learn that it's older people too.
nobody is gonna implement that shit. come on now. how is ebay gonna enforce that?
I think being "dumb" depends on the context. People living paycheck to paycheck and overpaying for a PS5 (or even buying it at retail price) is a dumb financial decision, especially during these uncertain times for the economy.
The seller is the problem not the buyer. For all we know the buyer could be an older person getting taken advantage of or a person where English is their second language.
They are not and I even reported it. They left it up. I think they’re only pulling down the PlayStation as a picture seller. This why I don’t sell to people with low or no feed back or buy from people like that. This guy though has 230 feedback. I’m sure most of them are from fake penny auctions.
I'm less willing to give people a pass for being dumb or making a mistake; accountability goes both ways. The seller is obviously the scummy one there, but thick headed smooth brains that enable the behavior aren't making things any better. On the plus side, eBay seems to be flooded with troll accounts right now that are bidding things up to then never pay, so the sellers aren't having the easiest time of it either.
I delete everyone’s bids that are new users. I then block them as a buyer. Just need to be on top of it. If they pay anyway other than PayPal I wait till the money clears in my account.
30k, 3k, my point stands. There are tons of legit listings if you want one. There is a reason the listing for a PS5 Box or Picture is hundreds less than the rest of listings.
Words of wisdom. If you're going to buy a PS5 from a reseller do it from one that has solid feedback at least!
