How do normal people get a PS5

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.

Love seeing more and more people get their Ps5s. Word of caution though, the controllers drift after a few weeks.
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 There are a lot of websites dedicated to tracking the PS5 restockings, but they all seem either sketchy or outdated or probably a front for the mafia.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.

Beg Master biden for the commie edition everyone gets a trophy version ? Idk

My wife followed some guy on Twitter who would alert his followers to where and when shipments would be arriving. 2nd day after following the guy she got one paid for and I picked it up in store. I figured that was so easy I had better take a shot at getting a new monitor and gaming chair, I felt this had to be the sun shining on a dogs [censored], ended up with a nice tan grabbed a ASUS TUF GAMING monitor and chair. Topped it all off early release night with a $160 worth the stubs. Mlb The Show 21 has been good even though 42 Dansby Swanson vanished from my inventory and the occasional server issues

Preordered it the day they went live from bestbuy at 330am. They started doing preorders earlier in the day but their site got screwed from all the traffic. At 3am the site started working and i got it easy as hell. Few months later i had it in hand.

Buy the [censored] bundle from GameStop. I got 2 ps5’s this way and 3 other friends got one too. When the bundle gets delivered take everything but the console to GameStop and return it. I paid $535 with tax for each ps5 after retuning the bundle junk

I was lucky enough to wake and check my email the night pre-orders went live on Bestbuy.
I'm a shop foreman for an elevator fabrication company. I go in anywhere from 0200-0500 and leave 1000-1300.Be extremely vigilant, sign up for updated stock alerts. There are a few twitch/twitter people who post right before a drop, follow them. I know a couple people who've had luck following the twitch/twitter people.
Also make sure you pre-register on any site you might use. This way you won't miss out fiddling with the process when seconds matter.
Good luck..
