November 1, 20214 yr Just now, Baboontyme said: Thanks for the heads up FSB. I was there. The drop was a bust. I guess Walmart tried to change up their virtual ordering system to some kind of a queue and it broke their shit. I was trying on the app on my phone and on desktop sitting in the car waiting for school pickup. No dice. Was just about to post here. Yes it was a complete fail! The good thing is it looks like Walmart is try to put a limitation on the bots/scalpers by going via queue system which is good. I think it was them testing out today but it failed miserably. However, from the looks of it it looks like they will be doing quite a few drops this week. It's possible they might drop again tonight but I'm also seeing 2 drops for this Wednesday. The first drop on Wednesday is at 2 pm for W+ members only then later that night at 6 pm for non-W+ members. Friday will be a 5 am local time in-store drop. Follow Matt Swider, Cameron Ritz, and Lord Restocks on Twitter for more info!
November 2, 20214 yr No dice. I kept getting out of stock and then 20 minutes in or so it seemed like their servers broke again.

Yeah, once again worst drop than their previous one. Watch for tomorrow when they have their W+ drop at 2 pm CT. Then again, I'm not that optimistic. Best luck to you!

November 3, 20214 yr Yes. Order placed and confirmed on Walmart on 9/23, for delivery 10/28. 10/27 I get an email saying my order is delayed, 10/29 I get an email saying my order is canceled because I have exceeded quantity limits. I know, I should have kept one that I bought for others until I had mine in hand but that would have been a bullshit move. Just joined WM+ on a 30 day trial. We'll see if it helps. I'm hoping Gamestop will come through with a bundle for + members.

November 3, 20214 yr You have bought and sold PS5s and now don’t have one for yourself? Say, I’m gonna need you to delete this. Making me feel bad over here.

November 4, 20214 yr Newegg shuffle this morning that includes some X Box and PS5 bundles. I entered for 2 of them. It sounds like there is a draw happening from 12-3 PM PDT today and they will notify you via email if you "won" and are able to purchase what you signed up for. https://t.co/G1dmwRGfv0?amp=1
November 9, 20214 yr Just some intel I’m passing along but it looks like Best Buy will have an in-store event next Monday. 50-75 consoles per store. Kinda like they did back in September where you had to wait in line and get tickets.
November 9, 20214 yr Just now, Baboontyme said: Another Wally world drop at 3 ET today. Yeah and it doesn’t look like you have to have W+. But I do like they have a queue now.
November 16, 20214 yr So fucking sick of the 3 pm drops. I have to leave the house at precisely 3:17 to pick up my elementary kid and these virtual queues seem to be at least a half hour from when you first get through and into "line". It doesn't seem to work on mobile or on the app so I've been bringing my laptop and sitting in the car using my phone as a hotspot. Inevitable it craps out or I'm still in the queue when I have to walk up to the door for dismissal. I will be trying for sure and striking out again I'm sure. Hopefully the + membership pays some dividends.
November 18, 20214 yr Wally world was supposed to have their big drop on Monday per the above but the twitter guys said they were having one at 3 today so I hopped on from 2 laptops right at 3, got a 17 minute queue, and with around 12 min left it told me I had 10 minutes to complete my order. Did it, and supposed to arrive 12/3. We'll see if the assholes cancel it this time. It was paid WM+ members only.

November 23, 20214 yr So my kid has wanted the Xbox X since last fall but haven't been able to find one. I pretty much have given up this year also. I just got an email from Microsoft saying they are allowing some select Microsoft Store Customers to purchase a bundle with an Xbox X. I thought it was a Nigerian Prince scam but I googled it and it seemed legit as there were numerous articles about Microsoft doing this. I logged in and it let me order an Xbox X bundle which should be delivered next week. Hopefully this was legit or if it wasn't some Russian hackers will now have my credit card info.

Microsoft started sending private emails to let people order an Xbox Series X bundle in order to combat bots. Their site is heavily botted. Congrats on getting one. Hope your kid will enjoy his Christmas!
November 29, 20214 yr Just got one on the wal-mart drop, delivered Dec 16th. There is still hope out there!

Jake Randall will be live streaming on YouTube and will sound an alarm when it restocks. Supposedly Target has a ton of stock coming in and is due to drop this week. Some are saying it's likely their biggest drop of the year.

Watched Jake's annoying-ass (though helpful) livestream until the re-stock dropped right at 6:30. Had one in my cart multiple times but website failed to let me checkout at least 100 times. Twice I got to the final step of confirming order by punching in CC security number and it still booted my order. I give up.

Do they ask for cc security number even if you have an account with payment info saved? That’s one of his big tips for getting one and bypassing some server back and forth. Another is supposedly using PayPal goes to a different server with one or more retailers that has less traffic.

Twice I got to the final step of confirming order by punching in CC security number and it still booted my order. I give up. Yeah I'm sorry man. It is advised that you use PayPal or Apple Pay as Pato mentioned it's because it goes through a different server and you won't have to confirm your CC on that. When you hit 'Place Order' you'll get an error message and that's normal. You just gotta keep spamming the 'Place Order' button until it goes through. I know, confusing and frustrating process. There will be more restocks coming up.
December 2, 20214 yr Order through the Whataburger app between now an the 15th for a chance to win a Whataburger branded Xbox Series X.
December 3, 20214 yr Walmart is having an in-store walk-in event on 12/11 next Saturday where the PS5/XSX consoles might be available. Check your local Walmart to see if they're holding the event. https://www.walmart.com/cp/gamer-drop/7087317
December 6, 20214 yr Disregard my post about Walmart above about in store event. Not happening. However there will be another online Walmart this Wednesday at 11 am CT for PS5 disc and digital.
December 7, 20214 yr Just a heads up if you're in The Woodlands/Magnolia area, the Target on FM1498 and 2978 had some Xbox series X's in stock. My wife was there while I was at the gym and called me about a toy for the kids. I jokingly told her to go ask if they had any series X's. They gave her one of a pallet that just came off the truck.

December 17, 20214 yr GameStop is having their last PS5 drop before Christmas right now. Must buy in person at a store and it’s a $795 bundle with the disc version and some games. I’m in line now, looks like I should get one. The boy is gonna shit himself on Christmas morning. Edited December 17, 20214 yr by Foggy Notion Got one! I was #36 out of 40. Thanks to you guys who’ve been posting in this thread. I’ve been following it for a while.
December 18, 20214 yr My cousin in Arlington just walked out of Gamestop off Cooper with a PS5. Said they had a bunch.
December 22, 20214 yr Can I ask why If you want a console you don’t just buy on eBay? I got my series X for 600. Still isn’t hooked up lol
