Down to 4756 at Bestbuy

Update: Bestbuy showing as sold out now

I have a feeling their line tool didn't work as planned. I got in line ASAP and my bar barely moved.

Definitely way less stock for PS5 than Xbox had. Wow.

I also got one for my friend from Wal-Mart (disc version). Got really lucky with the refresh. Was all logged in with my accounts and had my payment information set up - didn't even realize I bought it right away.

I was just going to post that 12k units seems like a lot of stock. But it sounds like there is a lot of demand for a $600 console!

My only shots left appear to be bestbuy and the source. I have seems some decent movement on the green bar for bestbuy about 1/3 of the west through and only 231 people ahead of me at the source

Remember the "good old days" (earlier this week) when new consoles sat available for order on amazon for at least a full hour?

In a global pandemic, crazy.

I am sure various posters will try to let people know if they see stuff come up. Follow that lbabiz guy on twitter too!

I definitely see a huge error I have made which is not having accounts set up at all these retailers. I was at checkout for Bestbuy, ToysRus and wal-mart and by the time I went to pay they were out of stock.

Frustrating but not the end of the day. Hoping to still snag one before the holidays but I can also be patient and will eventually get my hands on one.

Worst part is feeling like I have it in my grasp and then losing it

Yeah, having accounts ready and logged in (if possible) is a big step to really cut down on the race to checkout. Some people save payment information the day before but other people aren't comfortable with that in general though.

People saying the source still had it. I look and I saw it before it kicked me into the queue again.
