are most of the major online retailers offering free shipping? so it's $530 total, or whatever with tax

I think so. It's been about a year since I got mine.

How is it trying to get one right now? I never got within an hour of a spot in line on PlayStation Direct. The easiest time to get one was the week or so after Christmas. I got mine through Target a few days after Christmas.

PSDirect is still as hard as always.

Best Buy just began putting their PS5's behind a paywall.

Wal-Mart is still probably your best bet.

So not easy.

I don't know how it is now but I do still see people griping a lot. I got mine in April by following that one guy on Twitter and hopping in the queue when he announced a drop. After a couple minutes I got to the order screen and felt pretty lucky. It came in 3 days, too.

I got mine from GameStop, yeah they force you to buy a bundle but it's all stuff I would've bought anyway (except NBA 2K22, I sold that immediately). The day I got mine they still had some half an hour or so after they were made available.

I put my name in for the PS Direct invitations. I got the verification email. How much notice do you get if you're chosen to get in line?

I just got another email from Sony a few hours ago saying I'm eligible to order one tomorrow afternoon.

This is the 3rd I've gotten. First one was ORDER NOW which I didn't realize, so no luck when I eventually got to it hours later. Second one I was ready but Sony's site was shit ass slow and glitchy and I couldn't finish checkout. Seemed like it took maybe 30 minutes at most to be marked as Out of Stock.

Tomorrow...I'm thinking maybe I'll try on my phone's browser, though that sounds like a recipe for disaster with how shit Sony's site is.

I registered for the Direct invitations but never received a verification email. Does that mean Im not invited?

I know no one was wondering, but today was another failure.

The link from the email took me to a queue page rather than directly to the store page as it did last time. After about 25-30 minutes, it redirected to the store, where the systems were already sold out. Maybe I should have tried hopping onto the queue earlier, rather than at 2pm exactly as the email indicated...

Hope you guys eventually have more success than I've had.

yeah, I can't reiterate enough how bundle/gamestop/rewards plus early access is the most promising way to go if you want a PS5

I've never liked the concept unless it was like the exact first game I'd want to buy anyway.

Not true, I was wondering. Came back hoping to see you had gotten it.

I got an email saying that GameStop is going to have an in-store event on Friday. All bundles but you might want to look into the details anyway.

I've said this in another topic, but the ONLY reason I was looking to get a PS5 is because they keep sending me these emails.

I've got plenty of PS4 games I can still play just fine on a PS4 Pro, not to mention the endless backlog of PC games.

If it ever work out I can snag one without too much effort, GREAT! Otherwise, it's not worth the hassle.
