How do normal people get a PS5

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.

Paid $880 best money ever spent

Venting time sorry in advance. Best buy restocking every friday; I get serious about looking for a next gen consoles the BB restock stop. Then when they start restocking again they drop on a Thursday!?! Really?

Yea, with the natural shortages now I'm not so certain but I would imagine it would be easier if they started selling them in stores.

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?
Twitter. One of the pages I was following said that a store was going to drop at a certain time, but they didn't know which one, and the first link I opened was Costco and I got the bundle. I was lucky af too because I actually went to my local walmart at 3 am with my friend and we were off by 3 people to get one. I will note that I was spending all of my time during work and school to get one for a month. I ordered it in like early December I think.

I got extremely lucky. I assumed I had no chance at getting one so I wasn't even looking. I happened to walk by the electronics counter in Walmart and there was one sitting on the shelf behind the counter so I bought it.
-
I got a PS5 on the target website from a Twitter alert from some account I followed. It was pretty easy...I wasn't even very fast and was able to get it. Id say stock was available for five to ten minutes.
