20M bot attempts in the first 30 minutes holy fuck thats insane

Yeah that really puts it into perspective but I would also love to see some numbers on how much stock they get during a restock.

As a result, Geisler claims the "vast majority" of next-gen consoles have been purchase by actual real Walmart customers.

Sure, Jan.

---

Walmart is going live with all 4 new consoles in about 15 minutes.

---

It's for after Christmas stock tho.

---

today is the last possible day for PSDirect christmas stock. So I would say the boat has mostly sailed on that front.

---

Got one.

---

Got a ps5. Surprisingly super easily.

How? Are you just using the Add to Cart button on the page or do you have a special add to cart link that's bypassing that? I keep getting the same error I got the other day.

I used an add to cart link and the page link.

The one that hit was the page link.

---

Also just like last time I got it actually after it went to the "This item will be back at 3:10 PM ET" message.

Just keep hitting refresh becasue they come back.

Looks like lots of physical stock now the button has lasted 20 seconds.

---

I'm trying both links and the Wal-Mart app and there's no luck. I mean I can click the button but I keep getting the same message that it can't be added to cart because it's out of stock.

I used the regular add to cart. Refreshed it said next drop is 3:10. Refreshed once more it said add to cart. And from there I took my good old time putting in all info and was done.

This is how I got one as well, exact same experience.

---

Yeah I saw the same 3:10 message, refreshed and saw the Add to Cart button and then I get the out of stock error when I click it.

---

Going ps5 first this gen feels dirty. But series x has no games right now I suppose.

I'm not getting one yet, don't want to spend that amount of money right now on myself, but had been curious if I DID want one if I could so I used that Disc link at 3:10 and yep I could have had one, just had to put in my info

---

Another drop coming in a minute or so, good luck.

Though each drop seems to have a progressively later shipping date.

---

Probably means walmart is dumping all their stock for months now then. I guess.

---

That looks like the last drop of the day regular out of stock message is up.

Keep trying as stock goes back though.

---

Got one through the disc link above! Arriving Jan 9th.

Thank goodness this dumb hunt is over. Now time to move onto getting a 3080 or 3090

---

Missed the 3:00 and 3:10 ones because of work. No luck with the 3:20 one.

I'm about to fucking cry right here at work, not even fucking kidding.

---

If they keep these up I think your chances are pretty good in the next few days based on results in this topic. Plan for another 3PM ET drop tomorrow.

---

I'll be working as usual.

I'm so fucking done. This week has been a shit show for me this would have been the silver lining.

---

I got one at the 310 drop. Woo!

---

There's not gonna be a 3:30 one.

I'm literally shaking right now.

What do u want the X or ps5?

---

PS5. I even used the add to cart link at 3:20 and got zilch.

---

I had to refresh the direct add to cart link about 5 times before it worked and the button on the page was still giving me the out of stock error.

---

Yeah I refreshed for ages. No dice.

---

Does your work give you any way to plan to have a few minutes to yourself for a specific time? Or are you constantly being looked over/need that time or else outside of break

---

When you happen to have to go to the bathroom 3 minutes before that time they cant legally tell you that you cant.

---

The latter. I could (and have) sneak off for a bathroom break but I'd need to know in advance and apparently this was only announced like 30 minutes in advance.

My break is at 3:15, so sneaking for a bathroom break at 3 is kind of a no-no. It also only gives me one shot as opposed to three or four.

I mean if you are still unable to get it by mid January I could probably sell mine to you at cost if you really want it. I mean, I want it but I can always wait if it means a lot to you.

---

Congrats to you guys for getting this though.

Thanks but no thanks. Not trying to do that to someone. Just frustrated as hell that I can't catch a single break with this thing, even on the days that seem to have a high success rate.

All good. We will try and help you get one though with keeping you updated on drops as much as we can though!

---

Thanks. You've been on my "he's a good guy" list for a while now, and now you've pretty much inked it in.

---

PlayStation Direct queue is up.

@Underleveled

---

If your going into that queue, I recommend assembling as many PC's and mobile devices as possible to get in at once(Turn off Wifi for the mobile devices)

---

Got in the queue to offer this one out to various people but no luck for me. Everything hit more than an hour.

---

Did it have disc versions today?

yes

---

Thanks for the tag red but I was driving home from work. Even if I wasn't, being the last time to order from Direct and get it before Christmas, I had little hope.

Hopefully there are some drops next week as I am on vacation all week. Though it would have been nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about it (and hell maybe even play it).

With my luck there won't be (or they'll be in ridiculous morning hours).

---

Hopefully some people will drop out of the running with consoles no longer shipping in time for christmas.

---

I mean from what I can tell, between yesterday and today, a shit ton of people got them, so hopefully that's a large percentage of potential buyers that are now out of the way and making it easier.

I work Tuesday through Saturday (usually Wednesday through Saturday but Tuesdays during the Christmas season), and those happen to be the days that the most/biggest drops have happened, with the very occasional tiny-ass one happening on Sundays and Mondays, so I've basically been screwed.

I also think that walmart having ship dates after Christmas made scalpers not want them.

---

Some people's orders are shipping early. Especially for the Series S. So possibility we will get them before the 12th.
