Guys, the retailers just released more XBOX S/Xs and PS5s.
Walmart and BestBuy are adding inventory every few minutes in an effort to prevent the issues of the last few releases. I got a Series X https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-series-x-1tb-console-black/6428324.p?skuId=6428324 https://www.walmart.com/ip/XB1-Xbox-Series-X/443574645 ETA: I almost got a Series X at around 3:10pm but the site kept crashing when trying to place the order. It screwed up my CC and I had to call the bank to release the hold, they were OOS and it was removed from my cart by the time I could try again. At 3:23ish I was able to get my order placed and confirmed. ETA 2: My xbox is due by January 8th, after XMas, but better than even later. |

“GUYS, GUYS! I GOT A NEW CONSOLE ON SALE”
update: “I didn’t get a new console and should delete this thread” |

Wait. Let the supply issues work themselves out, and buy a better built one with less problems later. Plus, I'm really not seeing any must play games till next Christmas.

Plebes. I’ve been playing ps5 since launch day. Already maxed out prestige in the new call of duty (until the next season anyway) weeks ago

Quoted: Not a person alive can click add to cart quick enough View Quote On Walmart you can click add to cart, then you'll get a message about it went out of stock. Click add to cart, see message, hit F5, click add to cart, repeat. After about 100 tries it went into my cart and it seemed easier once it made it into the cart. Left hand stays on F5 and right hand stays on the mouse hovering over "add to cart". Good luck guys. I won't even say how many hours of my life I've lost trying to snag one since launch day. |

Walmart dropped at 340pm eastern.
By dumb luck I was on the site at 339. I hit refresh at 340,added to my cart and was OOS, I kept refreshing the page over and over and adding it to the cart, never let me even add it to my cart. |

View Quote If you can get one. |

meh, Best Buy's site is retarded. Either they have it or not... ghey.

They started at 3pm, then 3:20pm, then 3:30pm. I haven't kept up with it since, but it looks like every 10-20 minutes. It may show OOS for a minute or two, but should update and say something about it coming back at a specific time. |

The ps5 was sold out within 1 second of the release. LOL. It's unusable for anyone without bots.

Im still trying to get an iPhone 12 pro for in-store pickup from apple. They come in stock around 4pm every day so I've been refreshing for a while

Thanks OP! Got XBox Series X from Walmart for Jan 9 Delivery.
Then managed to get one from BestBuy for This Saturday Pickup. If Saturday works out I will probably release one from Walmart for someone else. |

Quoted: I've been trying all day to score a second PS5 on Best Buy. View Quote I dont know about PS5, but what they did with XBOX was messed up. They put out a tweet yesterday saying that they would have consoles available online after 9am EST... they did not add stock until about 3pm today. I refreshed from 8:30am till around 11:30am and never saw anything and as far as I could tell nobody ever saw any in stock. I checked back around 2pm and saw that Walmart had a banner saying at 3pm they would start selling. At about 3:05pm I saw the first change on Best Buy's site. They pissed a LOT of people off today with that 9am shit. |

Quoted: What can a console do for me that a PC can’t? View Quote Give you high end performance without the cost. It also provides a platform that can be used for several years without having to keep upgrading it. I have a pretty decent rig (3700x, RTX 2070, and 64gb of RAM), but I like console gaming. BTW I have a XBOX One S and held off for over a year on buying a One X since the Series X was coming out. That's part of why I want to hurry up and upgrade my console. |

I kept checking throughout the day and never saw any instock on best buy. I got busy at work and I guess they came in stock when I was unable to check. Last time best buy had them instock I could never complete checkout without it saying out of stock over and over.

Snagged one from Walmart around 1510 today. Pro tip, use the mobile app and enter your card info under payment methods in your account before trying to score one. In the app, all you'll have to do is hit add to cart - review order - submit order and you'll have a much better chance to get it.

Mine was about the same but I had to enter the CCV 3 digit code. |

I got an XBox Series X today from Walmart. I had to use the app. The website kept crashing. I managed to get one in my cart but upon checking out I got a message that it was out of stock. I just kept clicking submit anyway, and after about 30 tries it went through surprisingly. Got my confirmation email a few moments later. Best Buy was a total fail.

The PS5 release has been a complete disaster. Lol. Such a shitshow, every single time there's a restock anywhere.
I'll wait til I can casually stroll into a store and buy one off the shelf. Maybe the disc drives won't sound like a dust-filled PS3 by then. I've seen too many videos to want to gamble. |

The brand new consoles can't even play Cyperpunk worth a crap.

I was ready for the RTX 3070 launch and the November XBOX launch. In both cases the sites crashed right at release time and everyone spent 5 minutes refreshing only to have the site come back up and show OOS. I dont recall seeing even one person here or anywhere online confirm that they actually got one. |

For sure, including the crappy launch games. I'll pick one up when God of War 5 or Horizon 2 is out. I bought the PS5 version of the new CoD last week, thinking I was going to get a PS5. But I've since given up even trying. I don't have the luck it takes to get one, nor the dedication to follow all the restock alert Twitter fags to try and be on a website the millisecond a restock goes live. So I'll be returning the game to Game Stop for a full refund. I figure by the time I'm actually able to get a PS5, the game will be even cheaper...or there will actually be a new CoD out. |

View Quote CP2077 hasn't been optimized for the new consoles yet, you can play it on them and it runs smoother, but the full new gen release wont come until January IIRC. I'm playing it on PC anyway. I wish they would have made it playable across platforms so i could use either at any time. |
