Find a reasonably safe location that will have stock and camp for 10 hours.

Have you ever known a Playstation to be easily available in its launch year between November and January?

You’d think they’d make enough to meet demand

If we are being honest, it wouldn't be good business.

From a business standpoint, you want to drive up the demand for them. If you flooded the market, you would eliminate a lot of the rush and pressure people put on themselves to try and get one.

Scarcity increases demand, increases publicity, and keeps you in demand longer.

All good things for the parent company.

I can promise you that they're making as many as they can. Manufacturing for tech items is such a cluster with COVID. I'm impressed at their shipped estimates tbh.

They may be making as many as they can, but they won't give them out until they are ready. They know exactly what they are doing.

I've got a Walmart pre-order that I may part with.

I’ve got a series X preorder but would rather a ps5. Can’t decide if I’ll keep the series X or not. Could be down to trade if you’re interested

It’s a disc drive model. Not sure, not looking to really scalp it, but at least have my troubles covered if I ship it or deliver it. I’m in Louisiana.

$600 is probably the lowest I'd go since it's $547 with tax.

Bunta, I may need some assistance. My parents are trying to get one for my younger sibling for Christmas and I'm not willing to part with my preorder to give to them.

If you're trying to sell it, I will gladly hop on that.

You can hit me up on discord, or I can give you my email.

If you decide to get rid of the Xbox preorder I’d be happy to buy it from you

You are a good dude. Hats off to you.

I have a preorder and all the shite I went through the night of the Walmart fiasco and didn`t get, but did get the Sony email for preorder. There is no way, I wouldn`t get compensated a decent amount.
