We got one today! I’ve had the Sony Direct site up on my phone for days signed in with DH’s PS account. I hit refresh at the right time, I guess. Got in the waiting room, after about 50 minutes I made it through. And with this store, once it’s in your cart, it’s yours. No getting to the final payment step only to be told “Oh deer, this item is sold out” (screw you, Walmart!). Infinitely better process than with other retailers.

You can find them on ebay. Of course they will cost you $1500+.

I tried to get one at Walmart’s online sale, and even though it was momentarily in my cart the purchase failed. I have an older teen so now my plan is that he can open a photograph of it and we’ll buy it when it’s actually available.

1) Buy directly from Sony. Make sure you have already registered and entered your cc information and billing/shipping address. They are releasing PS5's on their website every day.

2) Also get on the waiting list at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc. You are supposed to have "your store" when you get on the list. Do not register around here. Sign up far from city centers as you can. The wait lists there are not as long. The only downside is you will have to drive out to WV or whereever to actually pick the PS 5 up.


Bow do you get on a store waiting list? I have never heard of doing this before.

They are only giving 1-2 (or none) to brick and mortar stores—Best Buy, GameStop, Target, etc. For that reason, I didn’t even bother to try to go in person today.

The only saving grace is the kid that wants it is well-past believing in Santa so he’s well aware that he most likely won’t have one on xmas morning. He’s been falling the saga.
