Agreed, PS5 will have more demand and less units available IMO

If anyone wants a PS5 pulse 3d headset, have one at cost, or will return.

I've had numerous games miss release dates with Amazon in the past.
I personally now never pre-order with Amazon because of it.

FedEx delivered my 1TB storage expansion.

...my series X is coming Friday/Monday...

Feels like I just got a PS2 memory card delivered before owning the console.

“Hey, here’s a memory card - think of all the memories you’ll be able to one day store on this”

Amazon tends to be the worst for Video Game pre-orders in my experience - games and consoles.

Best Buy used to be the best IMO - but I feel like in the last 18 months they have been slipping in this regard.

Walmart seems to be hit and miss.

I think so, I've lost track of my days with all that's going on.

Not so sure about more demand in Canada but It sounds like there will be less PS5 consoles available compared to Xbox.

Mine still scheduled for Thursday before 5:00pm. I'm guessing this late in the game there's not going to be a change. So Thursday *might* be a good day...XBox delivered and maybe snag a PS5 from somewhere.

Would the Xbox Series S be much better than the Xbox One? I'm currently using a PS2 (yes seriously) and will pick up a new console in a few weeks. I'm wanting to go Xbox since Forza Horizon and Motorsports interest me more than Gran Turismo. I'll probably also get a golf game. I don't watch or play it in real life but find Tiger Woods 2007 quite relaxing on the PS2

Lack of communication from Best Buy is really frustrating. The charge for my PS5 is no longer showing up on my credit card. Do I have a console or not?

The series S, as I understand it, has three flaws compared to the Series X:

1. No disc drive
2. Lack of “real 4K” (can upscale to 4K but the tech nerds I know claim it’s slightly worse than the 4K on the XSX)
3. Smaller storage (500G compared to 1TB)

It will still be significantly better than the Xbox One.

If you’re still on PS2 then you’ll notice a significant difference either way, and the Xbox One will still be a viable option for a few years at least.

Can I ask if you got one when the pre-orders first came out? I got one on the second round and haven’t heard anything or had my card charged yet.

My Xbox Series X from Walmart is suppose to come on Friday. It is coming by UPS (Ground) from Ontario for some reason. They don't have a warehouse in the west?

Some of these companies need to get their #### together...Systems ordered today are arriving faster than systems ordered in September in many cases
