Ps5 and seriesX is very much available. People got stuck on the ‘not very accessible’ you can walk in a store and buy a next gen console easy.

[Serious] Send me a link to a store with a PS5 so i can buy one. I legit want to buy one. Preferably not price gouged

  1. If you could pull this off, post it for proof and kuddos. 2. Why not just walk in a store today and pick one up?

I've been on Sony's and Amazon's PS5 queue since they opened up and have yet to get called up to purchase one. I'f have an easier time waiting for a PS5 Pro or Slim

Damn. I'd say sign up for the Amazon alerts. I did at the beginning of July for a friend and we just ordered their Horizon Bundle PS5 at regular price through Amazon. Should be delivered this afternoon.

When they send you an email do you have to react quickly? Or do they reserve the PS5 for you?

u/Goonchar New Monarchy Jul 18 '22

React quickly!

About 4 days ago I got one for normal PS5 and when I checked 3-4hr later they were gone.

Maybe not as many people sign up for the Horizon Bundle (+$50 is probably why) but that one was not sold out when I went for it. My buddy just sent me a picture of his delivered console.

Love when you use personal anecdotes as proof for a concept haha

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '22

Personal anecdotes….10 friends that weren’t trying got one…just by walking in a store,.

u/whitesuburbanmale Jul 18 '22

I visit every store in our area weekly and have never seen one, not had an employee say they will be getting them anytime soon. I've been put on wait lists and not received anything. It's to the point that I just gave up and went full on to my PC. Even if all that wasn't true, 10 people is still personal anecdotes.

u/Estydeez Jul 18 '22

10 out of how many millions of people wanting one? In how many different countries and economies? Lol the fuck is wrong with your brain to double down on your stupidity?

u/ToplessTaylorSwift Jul 18 '22

Yes, that's literally what a personal anecdote is.

I have a few friends who have been trying to get one and one or two caved and paid $800 apiece from a scalper just because they were sick of waiting. I also live in a major US city.

That's my personal anecdote, but I'm not using it as evidence as to the availability of consoles. It depends on where you are, that's just reality.

Maybe for you my dude, I went through hell to get mine last month

u/Marshycereals Jul 18 '22

u/BillGaitas Jul 18 '22

Yeah, no they aren't.

u/Galacticsurveyor Jul 18 '22

You can’t.

u/Razrmeth Jul 18 '22

My local GameStop has ONE. Just the console. No games. $814.

u/midnight617 Jul 18 '22

Pretty sure that’s literally illegal for them to do but ok

2

u/Razrmeth Jul 18 '22

It wouldn’t be the worst thing GameStop has done.

u/Goonchar New Monarchy Jul 18 '22

Lol bro where do you live for that to be true?!? If Joe Schmoe doesn't follow any alert accounts or do anything proactive there is no way he is walking into Walmart/Best Buy/etc. and just buying it....

u/DEADLY_JOHN Jul 18 '22

Yes, but they’re still in short supply and you’ll have to be really early to get one. It can still take weeks to get one, and often it’s also overpriced.

u/CubonesDeadMom Jul 19 '22

I’ve had a ps5 for a year but I’ve still yet to see one in store anywhere
