I've been struggling to try to get one, but no store is seeming to restock them online. The scarcity, combined with the multitudes of scalpers, is making it nearly impossible to get one.

Nigh on impossible. Pretty sure some Sony exec said they’re all out worldwide, and retailers down here aren’t anticipating any stock until next year, likely in Feb. Crazy stuff

Man, what a bummer. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the scarcity. I understand we're in a pandemic, and at least some lucky people would get their hands on it. Plus I'm used to artificial scarcity at console launches, its nothing new. My problem is that scalpers are feasting on these retailers that aren't properly protecting their online orders.

I have been trying, but not lucky enough to get one yet. I was at a Gamestop today, and was told they were only supplied with one for their Black Friday sale. Seriously, how can Sony and Microsoft so grossly underestimate the demand? They're gaming systems that encourage online game play amongst friends. It is the perfect gift during the pendemic.

As for scalpers, they are the scum of the Earth. I wouldn't buy a PS5 from a scalper even if it was just $5 over retail. If something is wrong with the machine, you can't return it or send it back to Sony for repairs. The warranty is void if you can't provide a proof of purchase from an authorized retailer. If I'm spending $500, I want some assurance.

Yeah, the scalping is embarrassing. Hope someone goes and robs them, lol

I just hope no one buys their resales, and they get stuck with a bunch of PS5.

Really? I'm surprised you got one, considering Walmart was absolutely terrible with dealing with bots. Their last restock lasted like a minute or so lol.

Yes, it was hell experience too...Got into cart after hundreds of refreshes and even when in cart, could not buy without hundreds of refreshes to get through purchase. The system is great so far though but I know friends who have been unable to get one.

I'm always worried about quality control and defects the first batch so I will wait till new years or February on purchasing a system.

Might go Xbox. Leaning xbox because love elder scrolls series and fall out. PS exclusives are okay only one I really love is GOW though.

I know Microsoft bought Bethesda, but they don’t seem intent on making their games Xbox exclusive

I did hear that. They also said it will likely be delayed releases on other platforms. So I have no idea how long one would wait if they had a PS5 to get the game. They could also release special content only on xbox. Lots of what ifs.
