Thanks guys, appreciated. I'd prefer Sony but not to this extent, this is nuts. Think I'll check out some Black Friday deals.

I think these are the keys to getting a PS5 / Series X at this point:

-Follow Lbabinz on Twitter / Discord and make sure you have notifications turned on. Unfortunately if you don't work on a computer/phone it's still going to be tough, but it's your best chance.

- Check Stocktrack.ca for Best Buy / Walmart each morning. Stores are starting to carry in store now, and generally the stock updates in the morning.

- Check frequently at some of the smaller chains (Source, London Drugs, Shoppers) it's rare that they have stock but they have been getting a slow drip since launch (Example is source in Lacombe and Fernie showing Series X stock in-store right now for people that may live in those areas).

Just got my XSX, was lucky enough to get in on a 1000+ unit drop on BestBuy through Lbabinz Discord. Pumped to be able to give Forza Horizon 5 a try

Also glad that it shipped from Ontario instead of BC

…dude, Halo Infinite’s MP. It’s so damn good.

Also, yeah - Forza is amazing.

Xbox has had a great run of games as of late.

Hey bossy22 and Sainters7, sent you a PM about PS5's. Please let me know.

(If anything happens to me, one of those two did it. )

Won't NHL 22 be free with game pass ultimate (via EA play) sometime soon?

Still worth the wait. $30/year for a big selection of EA games, including all of their sports titles? Easy decision.

No yearly update is worth paying individually for.

Thanks for meeting up Bossy22. Enjoy the non-scalped PS5.

Happy early holidays!

If I have any luck with finding XXX's, I'll be happy to meet up with other CPer's too. I assume people are good for the SWOLED's?

I still have another sealed PS5 disk sitting in my living room if anybody is still looking. (Sainters is looking into the new year for now.)

Feel free to PM me if you can meet up in central Calgary!

EDIT: On hold now.

Was at Gamestop Chinook on Friday to pick up my Legend of Zelda Game & Watch and there were a lot of people getting PS5s. They had a batch of digital only (no disc).

I've been so busy that I still have time left in my 10-hour XSX trial.

Riders Republic is really fun.

Not a technical showcase for next gen systems or anything, but just enjoyable to play.

If you enjoyed Steep I feel like you will enjoy this game for sure.

^^^ lineup 16 people deep now for a 10:00 am opening. I can't see them getting that many in one shipment.

Did they indicate how many they might get?
