How do normal people get a PS5

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.

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'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.

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 There are a lot of websites dedicated to tracking the PS5 restockings, but they all seem either sketchy or outdated or probably a front for the mafia.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?
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.
-
I noticed the graphics look a little crisper when I got the PS5. Mostly in the batter walkups and all. Not sure I felt much of a difference in game play. Like another post said, i am getting a lot of late swings. I haven’t changed any settings to the PS5 yet, just how it comes out of the box.
-
I’ve ordered 2 of them from GameStop. One on my name for me and the other under my wife’s name for the kids.
-
StockX app, couple hundred over retail, but plenty of stock
-
Got lucky from Walmart when this "add to cart" link was working thru slickdeals. Really happy it went thru and I was able to get a really nice chunk of $ back for my ps4 pro.
-
Hey man! Getting a ps5 is easy! Follow Jake Randall on twitter! He goes live on his YouTube channel when Target and other websites go live.
-
Any update @SchnauzerFace ? I broke down and paid over retail at StockX. But, since I’m a NMS player, I rationalized the expense.

Nothing yet, unfortunately
I downloaded a couple apps and set some Twitter alerts, but still no luck. StockX or eBay might be my best bets at this point, but just in principal I hate rewarding scalpers. If they were only $100 or even $200 over retail then I’d probably just do it, but I regularly see them on eBay for $800+.It’s not reeeeeaally super-duper time sensitive for me though. I live in Fort Worth, and during those really bad snowstorms a couple months ago, 3 different sets of pipes burst in my apartment/above my apt, and the damage was so bad that the complex told me I had to completely move out for the repair process. There was so much damage across the state that materials and workers are really hard to come by, so I was told it’ll be 3-4 months before I can move back (they’re completely gutting the place down to the studs, so it’ll take a while lol). Anyway, I’m kinda couch surfing at friends’ and family’s houses until June or July, so I won’t really be able to play as much as I’m used to. Oh well

Sorry to hear you were affected by the storms.. Glad to hear you made it through safely. Scary times
