Wal-Mart PS5s literally gone in 2 minutes. I never even got past the captcha to add to cart

Less than that. It told me it was sold out before the clock even turned to 9:01.

The bots are getting better. Pack it in, boys. If you haven't gotten this thing yet, you aren't getting it until 2022 when the stores are well-stocked.

---

Bots beat the captcha.

Just immediately out of stock for me.

---

Companies need to stop this mad dash shit and just have a lottery or something. We're never going go to stop getting new consoles and tech so you'd think they would work something out.

---

Couldnt get it either, but knew I wasnt gonna be able to. There were probably millions of people trying to grab it

Yeah, it's pretty demoralizing.

---

On the plus side I did manage to get DBZ Kakarot after like 12,608 retries so it wasnt a total waste

I just had a really shit day today in general, this is the cherry on top.

Oh, and there was a Playstation Direct stock once again for the like 10 minutes I stepped away from my computer.

---

The vast majority of us simply arent gonna get one until theyre stocked in stores which probably wont be until next year

Might have gotten a PS5 stock went up and order went through.

---

Yeah I saw that like a minute late.

Guess we gotta stay on the site all night.

---

It'd already happened once. I use 2 monitors, so one monitor is auto-refreshing the page and the other is the one i actually use to try to click.

---

Actually, maybe not. Last one said "temporarily" out of stock. This time, it's missing the "temporarily." Probably done for good now. But I'll keep trying for a little while.

---

It has popped back in stock a couple of times since my order got through. So its stil lhappening.

---

Ok now its gone gone I think. Also one refresh pushed up a brownish square messge about this item not expecting to be in stock for awhile. But every refresh but that one has been the same green message.

---

I've been F5ing for 11 minutes and not once have I seen the order button.

---

make sure you hit ctrl-F5.

---

My guess is they weeded out the obvious bot orders and put those ones back in stock.

---

Honestly the best chance to get a PS5 right now are the Gamestop bundles. The last time they put them online they lasted like 6 hours before they sold out. The one I almost bought was a PS5, two controllers, Spider-Man: Miles, Demon Souls, Playstation Camera.

There's no discount on the bundle so they're just forcing you to buy shit you don't want but it's the best option. I did the same thing with the Switch so I have a sealed BOTW hardcover guide and some game I didn't want and never played.

I was on the GameStop site all night and it never let me add anything to the cart. Tried probably several hundred times.

One of the bundles actually has a price increase because it includes the cheaper version of spider-man lol. It was like a $10 mark up.

But yeah no interest in those bundles.

---

wal-mart has stock again.

---

Had it in cart again and got fucked again

keep trying. They keep coming back.

---

Missed it again. Got to place order, had it sold out. :(

---

Oh believe me I have. Im probably on k retries/refreshes

There are already a few tents outside my local GameStop too

Tried to see if I could snag a second for my little cousin but no dice.

---

All this lamentation makes me glad I'm not getting a PS5 for the foreseeable future. Just some old games from gens gone by for me, thanks.

But my main motivation right now is to play my PS4 games (which are PS3 ports) without loading screens!

---

I'm only gonna try for a few more minutes. My ISP is probably pissed at me right now.

---

been long enough that i'm out now.

---

Hopefully there will be enough surprise opportunities over the next few days for me to snag one.

---

Yep I'm done with this Walmart attempt. I'm sure it'll go back up but the odds of me actually getting one if it does are not high enough for me to justify continuing to spend my time trying.

---

ps5's are back in stock lol.

---

-_- well now I'm gonna try again for a little bit.

---

i just want an xbox series s

---

GameStop games get.
Buy 2 get 1 free on used games in combination with the Switch games, finally. 3 games for $55.

---

That Walmart ps5 drop was one of the worst ever.

Gamestop is getting that mario kart bundle again

Gamestop did me dirty regarding this. Not thrilled with them.

---

Literally furious I didn't get an xbox from Walmart yesterday

---

My walmart order is over 24 hours old now I'm feeling good about this not being cancelled now.

---

My gamestop PS5 order has a shipping tracking number. Yay

Going to still try to buy another one to bundle with my dumb camera that came with my camera and sell for slightly more

Is there any coupon codes for black friday for newegg?

I wanna get the M27Q from newegg but there was a coupon that made it $320 just a couple days ago. Any idea if a new one comes tomorrow?

Hopelessly torn between the M27Q and the LG27GL83A-B.

LG is $370 on amazon. M27Q is $360 on newegg. OOS before Xmas on amazon.

Newegg return policy sucks but I have never had a bad delivery from them.

I get 5% back at amazon if I shop there which makes it actually cheaper than the newegg monitor. But the M27Q looks like it is a better specced monitor.

I wish I hadn't missed the $40 off coupon a few days ago. Hoping one comes tomorrow to seal the deal regarding it.

---

Square Enix currently having a sale on various games.

---

I've been waiting for the DLC of XIII 2 and 3 to drop for years

are those on sale?

newegg has become a crapshoot this year and that's been a trend for a while now. it's really hard to tell wtf they do with the chinese companies that have basically taken over.

if there's no immediate hurry, i'd wait. things should go back on sale as long as it wasn't a rebate. and at a wider level, i'd expect these current features to become a steady norm, largely because console gaming and pc gaming is merging again only this time it's on the features that made PC gaming flat out better. so you'll get more screens produced with high end specs since consoles are advertising that, which is just beneficial to everyone.

---

I'm not at a building point right now but neweggs black friday sale is incredibly disappointing if you were looking to build a monster of a PC this year. Recent trends say the most recent x700k intel processor falls below $300 for at least one sale this time of year with a whole bunch of good discounted mobos. Not seeing any of that and the 10700k is like $360 or so. Maybe they'll redeem themselves on cyber monday for people but with the pandemic I'm going to guess that doesn't happen.

---

in other news gamestop is currently going through either a ridiculous sale or a lot of cancelations.

buy 1 get 1 free.
on modern pre-owned games.


---

Just got Ghost of Tsushima and Astral Chain for $53. Swordz if you can still cancel your Kakarot order from Wal-Mart then Gamestop has it pre-owned for $15.99 (buy 1 get 1 free)

---

So, the LG27GL83A-B I had in my cart for 3 days at amazon ninja went on sale during the 3 hours I slept last night and instantly sold out at $320. The M27Q at Newegg sold out at $360. Guess I am just gonna pony up the $360 for the M27Q at BHPhotovideo. = /
