    Nope. Heard it was a major screw up by Sony. They promise to open up pre-orders again though.
    Congrats on grabbing one.

    Not sure If i am going to buy one or not. I just bought a top of the line computer over the summer and it does everything I need and more, but I've always been a console guy at heart.

    When it comes to Xbox for sure as a lot of the Xbox games eventually arrive on PC and are sometimes available the same day they drop on the console. This is of course 1st party games.
    Sony on the other hand is different. You pretty much have to get the console to play their 1st party games which are pretty damn good. It's rare but sometimes it does happen that a Sony 1st party game like Horizon Zero Dawn arrive on PC like it did this year. But this is 3 years after it was released on the PS4.

    Anyone able to grab one and play yet? I tried a couple times yesterday on Walmart but got locked out by the time I checked out (about 5-6 mins after restock time). Almost caught a random restock last night at 7:30.

    Gamestop and target will probably be your best bets. Target gets random shipments best to go early am

    Oh i meant anyway other than BF lol. I shoulda specified. The managers at my local 5 or so gamestops all said the same thing, dont come out in BF. Lol they said they're getting more but no point in waiting outside for em.

    Target is a really good option.

    I had two bundles sent to me over the weekend. One was $650 for console, 1 year PS Network + 2 controllers and the other was $850, 1 year PS Network, 2 controllers + 2 games. My employee has been looking for one for his son so I tried buying it right when I got sent the information, instantly gone.

    What's the secret? I've kind of moved back to wanting an Xbox but I can't beat the bots on any of these sites.

    I got mine in store. I really feel like thats the only way to get one. Check kohls too. Their inventory is so random but they do get them.

    Ive called a few locals but this was the last one they had in store at walmart.

    They stock at night in the 24 hour ones.

    Gamestop told me last night again they get them randomly.

    I kinda got lucky honestly

    Don't worry - I got an Xbox Series X tonight on order. My system trajectory was PS2 > Xbox 360 > Xbox One (4 years - trade in) > PS4 and now I'll go back to Xbox. Always preferred the controller but we'll see if I switch because of the exclusives in the future.

    Let me know how you like the PS5.
