The internet would have you believe that every Playstation 4 in the world is sold out. I managed to see some in the wild on Black Friday.

It is not as scarce as most would have you believe.

I checked Amazon yesterday and all they had were the individual sellers at like 599.

Did see Killzone for 49.99 I believe

The best buy next the mall of Louisiana had a ton of them. Assuming you're in Baton Rouge.

In NOLA, but I'll check Best Buy this weekend or next.

Unless you're in a big city I'm sure there is a ps4 in a store somewhere around where you live


I haven't checked, but I feel certain I could walk into one of the dozen walmarts located in Montgomery, Al and find at least one ps4.

I see 6 left on Amazon. I'm wondering if that isn't the best bet. Since it's coming right from amazon I'm sure they'd send me a new one right away if it was defective.

Now to determine if I really want to add to cart....

I could probably Prime it as well. I just didn't know if it was going to be ridiculous like the last console release.

You'll be able to find some, but they're moving pretty quickly. Sony and MS really focused on producing a lot of inventory. Way more than either did for their previous console.

I'm trying to avoid the "we're out now, we're expecting a shipment next Tuesday" conversations and multiple trips.

I figured I would wait until after the holidays - just trying to get a grasp on when to start looking.

since about 2 weeks ago its pretty easy to find either console as the production seems to have caught up with the demand.

Amazon, right now, is saying they are getting some on Dec. 31. If you have prime and order it today, you'd probably have it Jan. 2.

However, like most have said, call a couple of Best Buys because they won't even let you search online for stores that have them. Also, small town Walmarts probably have one or two.

Doesn't Walmart show you available stock online ?


That's how a guy at work found one easily

I don't use Walmart's website.

Going check now.

ETA: Says Out of Stock. Won't even give the option to check stores. However, I'm sure a walk in could produce one.

I would try Sunday morning right as the shops open. Retailers are required to have stock of items located in their sunday flyer, and PS4/X1 has been in there every time.

I saw both the PS4 and Xbox 1 for sale in several stores last weekend where I live. Perhaps the size of the town plays into this?

Got PS4 from amazon, unwrapped it yesterday plugged it in and got "blue light of death". They wouldn't replace it yesterday bc they didn't have any in stock. Have to send in for refund or send back to Sony for replacement (after 2 hrs on phone). Maybe I'll have one by mid January. Smh.
