use camel camel camel as a secondary on amazon stock. I have received these ones sometimes faster than nowinstock
use distill.io to setup alerts to sites that are not in nowinstock.net
The problem with distill.io is you'll need a computer running the whole time unless you want to pay. Technically it can be faster than nowinstock depending on how you set it up.

There’s a couple of must-follows on Twitter if you want a realistic chance. I’ve gotten both a PS5 and Series X just by looking for those Twitter alerts - the best I find is @Lbabinz and @CDNnotify

I should just buy a used PS4 at this rate. What are the odds that next years MLB The Show will be released for the PS4?

It took them a few years to phase out the PS3 version after the PS4 released so I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, there are still like 120 million PS4's out there. It's a massive user base still.

Pretty sure they plan to keep the PS4 alive longer than the PS3 too. I would bet the PS4 still has a solid 3-4 years of life left.

I said f it and bought a XBOX Series X from the same scalper kid I got my PS5 from, at least he was friendly and answered texts quick. Plus he lived very close to me, big plus.
$775 for the XBOX and $825 for the PS5, little weasel made decent money off me.

And shipping containers have been crazy with increasing costs and capacity as well with back ups at ports with ships waiting out at sea too.
CEO's are also starting to talk about the chip shortage stretching into 2023 now.

Pretty good launch week in the UK for the SWOLED. Likely comparable in other markets.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...an-switch-lite
Nintendo Switch OLED has got off to a strong start in the UK, according to data from GfK Entertainment.
Last week was the 14th biggest week for Switch console sales in the UK since the machine launched in 2017. All 13 higher positions are during the peak Christmas and Black Friday sales periods, or the launch week of the Switch itself (which is the fourth biggest week overall).

I've been playing PGA 2K21 which was the free PS Plus game this month.
It's super relaxing. My dad is too frail to golf now and had to give it up, I wonder if I can get him into videogames.

It is the free PS4 game this month I believe that shooter is the PS5 game.
I also downloaded it and played a couple rounds. Not a bad game and good timing with the golf season ending. I haven’t really played a golf game since Tiger Woods back on my PS2 in University.

Oh that's lame.
I saw someone walk out with one at lunch when I was grabbing take out, figured that they had a few more in store with what they had displayed.

So is there anyway of knowing what stores might have a Series X in stock other than just randomly going in person and hoping to get lucky?
