Only was trying for about a week so not as bad as others have had it for sure, but I wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass to get one.

I was refreshing constantly every ten minutes. No such luck.

Congrats, though!

Welcome to the club!

I had tweet notifications set up for an account that posted as soon as stock came in, came close multiple times after seeing the tweet within minutes. Eventually I got lucky by coming across the tweet as it was tweeted one night.

Also Walmart says it's not going to get here until April 13th, so it will be a long waiting period

Congrats. Yeah, it was a huge pain. I got mine through Target a few days after Christmas and had been trying desperately since pre-orders went up to get one. I've gotten a lot of use out if it so far.

Got extremely lucky and was able to get on Amazon about a minute after they came in stock yesterday and got one; have been trying since before launch

What is this, some kind of joke?!
Go, then. There are other worlds than these.

I have 2 extra PS5s disc versions right now because I was helping friends get them. 1 of them got his own and the other changed his mind

Walmart is easy to get them if you use the app, ignore the first drop but leave it on the add to cart screen and then hammer the button as soon as it ticks over to the next drop. Its the refreshing to get the add to cart button back that screws most people

Edit: You can also apparently add to list and then add to cart from there but when I tried that method a couple of months back it never worked as the add to cart never appeared on my list page

Congrats. The loading times are making it look more enticing than it otherwise would be, but a PS5 probably won't even be on my radar until I upgrade to a 4k TV... which likely won't be until my current TV craps out.

A PS5 without a 4k is putting a huge cap on the console's potential, right?

Congrats! I tried too, every ten minutes until they were out of stock. No luck. I was getting sold out notices 10 seconds after add to cart appeared.

Congrats. I thought i had one from Best Buy today. Had it in my cart, went to checkout, it said processing then asked to text a code to verify my account. Entered the code and it didn't work. Tried again same thing. Tried emailing the code same thing. Eventually it told me it was no longer available. Not sure if I never had it to begin with or if it was a technical problem but...so close.

I had one in my Best Buy cart too. They said it was only ship to store, so I picked a nearby store, checkout... No longer available within 250 miles. Refresh refresh refresh, pick different nearby store. No longer available within 250 miles. Repeat for 10 minutes until it was removed from my cart because they sold out.

Walmart has definitely been the most attainable. I got two over the Christmas season.

In the discord I was in they said walmart cancelled your order if you had ordered more than 1. Is that a new thing?

They were from two different drops.

Only if you order more than 2 at the same time maybe? I've ordered multiple from Walmart and never had one cancelled but never ordered more than one from the same drop.

I've heard about an equal number of success stories with Target as Walmart.

You're going to be waiting into 2022 then.
