Yeah I gave my son my PS4 Pro and I can hear it clearly in the other room when he is playing NBA2K. I opened it, cleaned it, used higher quality thermal paste, added an external cooler, and nothing helps. I might just sell the 2 PS4 and get him a digital PS5.

They're easier to come by now, the Game Stop at Market Mall had them last weekend, I think they're still doing forced bundles. Came out to just over 800 (disc version, extra control and game) when I get mine back at Christmas

Is the best bet to just physically visit Gamestops from time to time in hopes of snagging one?

Create a Discord account, install it on your phone, join Lbabinz discord channel ( http://lbabinz.ca/home-page/), and setup notifications for his PS5 bots. One will notify you for any online stock drops and the other you can configure to alert you for any Alberta in-store drops

Yeah I don't think they are doing the $450 right now.
Based on the this tool https://www.gamestop.ca/tradevalues it looks like:
PS4: $135-$175 depending on the value
PS4 PRO: $225

I don't see any point to the premium PS+ tiers if you already have Gamepass since there will be so much overlap and the Sony exclusives won't be day 1 releases like they are with Microsoft

Some PS5's came up on Amazon today, no luck over here though. Tried for both the digital and the physical.

It's bizarre that you can't just walk into a store and buy a PS5 2 years after it came out.

Only if you ignore that we've been in a pandemic the entire time, supply chains for all products have been impacted, and that demand has never been higher for these products.
They've sold 17.3M units as of December 31st, and it was still the fastest selling PlayStation of all time for most of the year until the chip shortage caught up in Q4 of last year.
Part of the reason they aren't on the shelves is because it's selling better than pretty much any device ever in it's first 18 months.

Consider that the pandemic has only been going on since early-2020 and most of us are old enough to remember every console launch as far back as the PS1.
So yes, it is bizarre in the context of literally every other product launch outside of the pandemic. The pandemic produced the conditions that have resulted in this situation where you can't easily buy a product that has been on the market for two years now. And that is... y'know, bizarre.

Is it really that different though, especially considering the pandemic?
PS3 had long periods of stock being unavailable, I remember being shocked when I walked into a store and was able to buy one about a year after it launched.
I feel like the PS4 and Xbox One were actually a bit of the exception in that they were easier to get at launch, but the PS5 has sold more than both of those systems in the first year so the demand is just higher than it's ever been too.

The PS3 did not have two years of being impossible to casually buy in stores. That's literally the point, the pandemic is precisely the reason why we are in the bizarre situation being unable to buy something that has been on the market for two years now.
That a pandemic caused it does not make it any less unusual.

So given context it's bizarre, which broadly feels bizarre.

Just think when you will be able to buy one, they will have the slim or a redefined one that isn't a tank.
