Yea i was able to finally get thru and still shows ps5 to be "unavailable". Does this mean they sold out again or that they didnt put them up yet?

At this point you are competing with hordes of script bots - odds of getting one are super unlikely right now - you literally have to sit there for hours and hit the refresh button and pray.

Make sure you follow Wario64 on Twitter and turn his notifications on. I went to Walmart.com last week seconds after he tweeted and was able to secure one.

I started following him but dude probably tweets 100+ times a day on all sorts of VG deals - sorting through the chaff to try to secure a PS5 would be a job unto itself

I got my preorder in.. woo-hoo. At 11 o clock with a 30 deep line they posted the sign that they only had 4 for preorder. Melts were glorious. Dude offered me 250 for my spot in line. Prob should have taken it but frick that.

got my from Sony just a minute ago. I`m still showing in another queue as well. Should I try to get another when this lets me in?


Update: The second queue is only letting me shop games and accessories.

yeah i saw a bunch of people at 8 30 on my way to work and figured im missing out again and even if i went on my lunch break they would be out because some fricks can sit outside a gamestop on a friday for 4 hours.

Got mine preordered from Sony today as well. At one point, the “16 minutes left” ended up jumping back to “44 minutes left”, which pissed be off and made me assume that the process was just going to be a disappointment. At about 12 minutes left, it then jumped me into the 3 minute queue. Finally, it redirected me to the preorder page, and I was able to get my preorder in without any further concerns.

Was your Sony order an invitation only? Or did they offer them to everyone on their website?

Invite. I didn’t get an email and I signed up day one.

No one knows their selection process. Random I guess.

Yup, seemingly random. I got one last night and ordered on their system today. I'll probably keep that one and cancel my Walmart order.

I thought I was fricked. At first it said you could leave the queue , so I did because it was 20 something minutes until it was open. When I came back it said 40 something and it did this twice. I was like, I don’t have a chance in hell to get it.
Hopefully, nothing gets cancelled

I was able to put the bundle in my cart on gamestop around 1pm. Inputing my pay info and making it to confirm payment and it wouldnt let me complete because the bundle was now out of stock. Kept trying clicking the payment button but was all just a kick in the pants. Im not giving up and will keep an eye on things but man i felt like i was so close.
