Walmart has been selling consoles they don't have, then you wait a month for them to ship it, then they just cancel your order out of the blue. Its been a massive headache, and customer support has been no help at all. Buy it literally anywhere else. I was under the impression I was getting a console, and now I have to start looking again.

And it's doubly sucky because they had more drops this past week, and they actually fulfilled and shipped out those consoles.

Target was good. Assuming they haven't changed it, they dropped it and you purchased stock at your local store and just had to pick it up. The downside is that they dropped it at like 5 AM. I just happened to be up.

As others have pointed out - follow restock Twitter accounts and be ready to drop what you're doing and hit the restock when they tweet it out.

Played the first two chapters, enjoying it so far! Letting the controller charge and also taking a break for the Nintendo Direct and after that I'll have some dinner then I'll probably be up all night playing this and Bloodborne lol. Also, God damn this game looks nice. I also got a 4K TV a couple weeks ago, it is buttery smooth and looks beautiful.

So I've heard that putting the PS5 into Rest Mode can potentially be dangerous, peoples consoles have bricked from using Rest Mode. So I'm a bit hesitant to use it, but the controller charges in Rest Mode and not when the console is off. So is there a safer way to charge the controller? >_>

DirtBasedSoap 09/25/21 2:41:55 PM #39: |
you can probably plug the cable into any USB port
the risk of rest mode comes from losing power while its still on. I lost save data once cause my PS4 lost power while in rest mode but then I just downloaded everything again from the ps+ save cloud --- wieners and farts??? idk lol ... Copied to Clipboard!

And I havent seen the whole controller, but I know I could charge the PS3 and PS4 controllers with USB blocks in the wall.

I tried a 5V USB wallcharger and it didn't seem to work at all. =/ I guess just when the battery gets low while I'm playing I can just plug it in.
Also so far here's what games I have: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Bloodborne Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Kingdom Hearts All-in-One I'm gonna look into getting Demon's Souls Remake, and if I can find them Spyro Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and Crash 4.

That sucks, just another reason that Walmart is terribleI went to a local fast food place and was told not all menu items were available because they didn't have all of their ingredients due to shortages and/or delays from suppliers. It seems some places are severely understaffed. Our local bus service has resorted to canceling buses due to driver shortages because no one wants to drive buses and come into contact with strangers due to Covid-19. They had something like 20 drivers last year who contracted Covid while driving buses. --- SpankageBros ... Copied to Clipboard!
