Of the six Gamestops in the KC suburbs I was in reasonable driving distance of (1 of which was a mall store that wasn't open), all of them got PS5s, I'd say half had OLEDs, they all had Series S, and zero had Series X bundles.  I suspect the mall store is the one with the most traffic (it's in a mall that is still alive and well thanks to being in a pretty affluent area), so it may be the one exception to have some Series X bundles.  I ended up getting my kids a Series S w/ Game Pass Ultimate (they'll use it primarily for Roblox, Minecraft, and Slime Rancher).  I did get a couple of OLEDs to upgrade their current Switches.

Since malls weren't open today they got no consoles, regardless of volume

Someone earlier in this thread said that bundle doesn’t release until December so that’s why it wouldn’t be preparing

I ordered the Fortnite bundle, non glitch and my order shows "shipped".

I went to a few GameStop’s around 8pm est and they collectively still had XSX and Ps5 bundles in stock. Not many but at least 1 bundle per store. Disgustingly large bundles tho

How much did these bundles cost (PS5 and XSX)?

Bundles are the worst idea these retailers have. Nobody wants to pay full price for the games they're bundled with, and chances are most people buying the console already have PS+.

A friend of mine was able to get an xbox and PS5 bundle at gamestop.

He was going in for the xbox, but they let him buy both.

Yet they sell out.  It's a scummy practice, but it's effective

It's extremely scummy and taking advantage of consumers and makes me look down very unfavorably toward the retailers that stoop down to that level and makes me feel the same toward the people who buy them as well. If they weren't buying it, the retailers wouldn't be doing it. 

 

But, here we are.

Oh I’d be shocked if they shipped any of them out. That’s not a sale it’s a glitch. If they ship then that’s a nice score and nice story

It does limit the scalpers interest tho. That’s the only positive.

Sony also bases allocation to retailers on how much attach they get with each unit....so it basically promotes them bundling it.

all hardware makers do this since they get a cut on products officially licensed by them. Samsung, Apple, Xbox, Nintendo

Local GameStop ran out of Miles Morales standard edition, so the manager I’m tight with discounted the Ultimate Edition to 29.99. Amazing deal.

On the unfortunate side some crazy dude came in trying to rabble rouse and fight people. Left after they told him the police would come.

wish I could be close to a GameStop manager. I used to be close with one that used to work there but he quit long time ago. chill guy but apparently all his coworkers hated him. it was all about work and not messing up. guess he's cool with customers but a b**** with his employees

theres 2 skus for the preowned ps5 copy so in theory what  trade value you get depends on what sticker you got

In that case, couldn't you trade just the disk?

Hope to get an answer soon.
