Maybe not as quick, but that was also not during a pandemic and there have been reports that PS5 unit outlook was slashed by 4 million due to problems with their chips. Yes you couldn't touch a ps4 the day after preorders all the way through like freaking spring because ps4 fans were making fun of xbox fans because their system was available like the whole time sitting on store shelves and ps4 was no where to be found. I should know I ended up paying 700 dollars for one because you couldn't get one!

The thought process was that sony was behind and being ridiculous not getting their price and preorders up then then boom preorders end up being available before xbox after all that nonsense.
September 17, 20205 yr Pandemic or not, it should not be this difficult to get a video game session. Xbox do better

This was handled horribly by Sony. I'm not sure how they coordinate these sorts of things with retailers, but someone somewhere along the line F'ed up in a huge way.

Cause one of the tweets from Walmart said along the lines of " you didn't really think we would make you wait did you? Nah that wouldn't be our style" So one of them opened the flood gates without warning and caused the chain reaction.

September 17, 20205 yr I got one pre-ordered at Target last night. If you didn't get one and are on twitter follow the @Cheapassgamer account and turn on notifications. They tweet out links when they go live. It's helped me get rare stuff ordered a bunch of times.

I know I preordered at Best Buy (open for pick up at midnight) and one at game stop (next morning). Wound up having to go to target go get games. HUUUGE like waiting outside for when they opened. Guy pointed me to like and I said "nah, not buying PS4, just shopping for games. They had a buy 2 get 1 free sale that week on all games/movies. Wound up getting 6 PS4 games, 2 of them free. Packaged some with the second PS4 and sold on the eBay.
