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 There are a lot of websites dedicated to tracking the PS5 restockings, but they all seem either sketchyt or outdated or probably a front for the mafia.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?
U
Uhhh track the times they show up at big boxes or ps site? That’s all you can does put the website in with the pa5 tracker and you’re good. No “neckbeards “ wait at GameStop bec no one sells them at the store it’s all online -

I live in Fort Worth,
Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I have 4 co-workers that live in the Dallas area and some had damage to their homes as a result of that storm. Nothing like that, though.
Check your DM/chat when you get a minute.

Usually around 3pm eastern. I got mine from them 3 weeks ago after getting Twitter notifications from wario64. The following week they dropped some on Friday at the same time. I’m not sure about last week.

Love seeing more and more people get their Ps5s. Word of caution though, the controllers drift after a few weeks.

I had this problem on ps4 about 2 months ago if it's bad good luck hitting anything down the middle. That and no new games are what's putting me off I don't really see the point at the moment.
Are there places doing custom controllers for Ps5 yet I assume yes? That said I tried 1 last week to get 1 I was a couple mins late and they sold out.

Stockx update- got my ps5 and I’m a happy camper. Sucks to pay the markup but wanted to have it before the show launches

Hey @tgn848_PSN - my PS5 is being delivered today from StockX. Any issues?

There are a handful of Twitter accounts that tweet out each store/website's release dates. I followed them and ended up getting one after a few drops.

No issues. It was brand new and works fine. I haven’t played it much but logged into all my accounts, downloaded some games, made sure everything was good. Ready for the show now

Got mine - everything was in one piece and it works - thanks!

I followed all the PS5 restock alerts on Twitter and ended up getting 2. Gave the 2nd one to a family member.
Just follow them on Twitter and turn on notifications.

I really can't believe you can't just put in an order with Sony Direct and just wait your turn in line to receive it! But noooo, that would be too easy lol.

Haven’t really noticed the stick drift but my X button is kinda spongy and my sons square button gets stuck sometimes.

I got a Xbox Series X and PS5. It wasn't that tough. Walked into Walmart and got the xbox and bought a PS5 bundle on gamestop.

If you want the bundle you can always get one, provided you're paying attention. It's only when you just want the console, especially the disc-less one, that things get tough. I've had mine for about a month, which took me three weeks to land from the time I went after it. The horror stories about trying to land a stand-alone are definitely true.
