My cousin lives with me, he also works at walmart. He said they got a shipment of ps5's in and tried buying one but was denied as they only want to sell 1 per day for some reason.

Anyway, he got a call yesterday that his coworker friend bought one and was holding it for him. He dropped it off last night. His other friend bought Demon Souls and Miles Morales and is gonna let him borrow those. Pretty neat.

I kinda agree, but it's not like it's Koga's fault. Congrats Koga. Lol

Well, I thought it was nice of his friend to help him out like that. It's not like they stole it from the back or anything, the friend just went in early to buy it for him.

I used to work at Walmart where I always saw people do similar things to try and secure themselves items. I dont really care. I guess it's technically not fair to other consumers, but it's pretty insignificant imo. I wouldn't even be talking about it rn if it wasn't already brought up. Just enjoy the PS5 and be happy you lucked out. :)

Depends on how they do it. If they hold the items in the back then they can get fired for doing that. If they just put it out at like the last minute then shop past closing time then technically no rules are broken.

Especially considering Walmart just shut down any inventory tracking websites that track Walmart's PS5 stock. They also removed the PS5 console page from their website. And they also don't want people to walk in store and buy one...

Like wtf Walmart? Make up your mind!

I already got a PS5 from Target btw, so it doesn't bother now but still.

True. There's always technicalities. I saw it all done at Walmart.

As far as I know, his friend just went in as a customer and picked it up. They weren't holding it or anything. Apparently he tried for 2 days before succeeding and getting one for us. He told us last night at about 9 that he'd swing by the house and drop it off.

I had planned on waiting till tax season next year before looking for one. This is just a nice surprise, especially with how his friend did that for him. It was very nice and I'm happy he has good friends now.

Besides the price I'm waiting since the first generation consoles tend to have issues.

Good choice. Ours apparently uninstalled the pre-installed game that came with it. I asked on the ps5 board and I guess it's an issue of the system randomly deciding to delete a game somehow. lol

Odd that they only sell one a day but still this is good news for you! I'll pick up one next year probably.

I think you've got me mixed up with another poster. I remember someone else mentioning their cousin doing so. Mine has similar issues, but luckily that's not one.

I meant that he has similar mental difficulties to the one that does that. He doesn't really seem to comprehend that his actions have consequences, or that other people are affected by him. He has difficulty comprehending things in general and he has a very childlike mind.

I'm honestly a bit shocked that he's held his job as long as he has. He's actually doing good with it.

Aside from him being bratty, it's just the same stuff. I figured everyone was sick of hearing about my life so I'm trying to just post about the good stuff, or unusual events.
