There isn’t any good games yet on ps5. It’s all mostly ports. No point in stressing to try and get one
Most people want it here because the show runs way smoother on it.

I was tired of waiting so I bought one on stockx. It’s not here yet tho....wish me luck

GameStop. Follow the GS alert twitter guy.
Somebody in my discord mentioned it on Jan 8th at 6 est. I logged into my GS account on my phone at 6:34 and a bundle purchased in less than 5 minutes. Random and lucky AF.

Who says the OP is normal? 🤪

I got a digital and disc ps5 at target yesterday and 2 weeks ago. The secret is follow the guy on Twitter who alerts you on drops, stay in one store and spam check out button. First one took 4 minutes of spamming button, yesterday took 20 minutes.

I'm not willing to camp outside of a Gamestop next to a pack of unwashed neckbeards, and I'm not dropping a sweet stack on eBay to buy an empty box. So how do normies get a PS5? There are a lot of websites dedicated to tracking the PS5 restockings, but they all seem either sketchy or outdated or probably a front for the mafia.
If you've gotten a PS5, how did you do it? And what is your address and work schedule?
My wife got lucky and scored one through Walmart on the app. The trick is once you can get an "add to cart button" don't let it go away. Walmart drops theirs in 10 minute windows so say you miss at 3:10 pm but have an add to cart button. Keep it to where you still have the add to cart and as soon as it hits 3:20 be ready to spam. The only downside to walmart right now is even if you do score one its about 3 weeks out on shipping. I hit on Feb 4 and didn't receive until Feb 24 which was actually ahead of my scheduled delivery of March 3.

I've got a couple twitter alerts and app alerts, so hopefully I get lucky soon. Thank you all for the tips!

You'll get one shortly. I used HotStock since I didn't have a Twitter account but I do think Twitter is better for the PS5 alerts.

Does anyone know if it's easier to get the Digital Edition or the "regular" one?
"Easier" being a relative term...

Disc version. They're not releasing as many digi's.

I used offerup. Paid about $200 more for the disc version back in December. Tried watching twitter for the alerts, but those [censored] bots beat me to it every time.

I'm still having issues with lag playing the Show on my PS5. I have it set for performance mode, set for game, wired and still have way more timing issues than on the PS4.

it's probably because MLB 20 setup was designed for ps4 consoles. PS5 has a lot of new upgrades and doesn't jive all that well with the older versions.

I've had the opposite situation happen. My timing improved.

I didn't really notice a big difference. Maybe a slight lag, but nothing to complain about.

Follow Wario64. I had the good fortune of securing 3. Onepresale through sams club, the luckiest was Walmart, and psdirect. One of my students locked one last week the next day after following Wario. Target usually drops between 3 and 5 am pac. Most others drop around noon. Multiple browsers. All are disc version.

Interesting. Because the ps4 version runs alittle wonky on the ps5 it’s hard for me to explain but it’s a strange experience. The controller seems very delayed. And the ball looks like a knuckleball. But 21 felt ridiculously amazing.

I have a similar experience but you’ll be happy you got it for 21 when you are actually running a native game with a high frame rate.
It was like the best show experience I ever had

I got mine on PS direct. My queue said more than an hour. I back out and went back in and it said 6 minutes. 8 minutes later I was a happy guy
Lucky you. The second time I tried in Sony direct, I got picked from the queue and the second it redirected me to the store, it said sold out.
