If you can only afford a ps5 with best buy, you can't afford a ps5.

That's fine, there's no point in getting a PS5 or Series X until the next gen version of Cyberpunk comes out anyway

Sony today confirmed that its retail partners will only be taking online orders when the console goes on sale next week on November 12th, and now Best Buy is saying that it wont be making any of the next-gen consoles available to walk-in customers for the entirety of the holiday season. Its buy online or nothing.

I mean, FFS, this;

But you can order online for in-store pickup or contactless curbside service

is the subheading.

I'm waiting a year or 2 anyways. Last gen games go heavily on sale once the new console is out. Lots of good gaming to do before I upgrade.

Sounds like your problem. This is 2021. Adapt and move on.

Dear lord, this isn't complicated. Almost every major retailer (sans Amazon which is online only) will have "in-store" stock that is non-pre order on launch day, but it will only be available for in store pick up after you place an online order first. This is to prevent lines of people to try and pick it up.

It will be limited, but the fact it's limited to in store or curbside pick up means it will lighten some (not all) of the bot load. Meaning you'll have a better shot against bots by trying to snag one. That being said, they will still be fairly limited. Expect maybe a handful per store per week until 2021.

It's been this way for nvidia's GPUs, it is looking this way for AMD's CPUs and likely their GPUs later this week as well.

Don't expect higher end consumer electronics to be widely available.

Can't you order it online to be picked up? What's the problem there? At least you're guaranteed one.

This. Resalers come in all the time with lists on what to get. I asked one what their website was called and he told me. I went on there after I got off and looked at the same things ehat we sold and almost everything was at an exorbitant price. They get supper pissy when you tell them that they can buy only one for the high demand stuff.

It's harder to pull off in person, you have to network, it's a lot more complicated then a some bots that can buy everything up within a second of it becoming available for purchase.

You don't have to network at all. You just go I to Walmart and throw a fit until some poor manager with so many other things to do caves to your demands.
